Chapter 198 Young people know how to have fun
Huo Gannian likes all aspects of Yun Chen: the frank and straightforward, the fearless, the simple and clean, the persistent and silly, the one pretending to be a carefree man, and the one who often reveals some heart-warming little girl demeanor.
He likes all kinds of Yun Chen.
The only person she disliked was Yun Chen, who would occasionally look at Song Lan with envy, and then look at her with a bit of inferiority.
This world is unfair and suppresses every woman's talent.
They are only allowed to show their short and bright flowering period.
But she couldn't, and could only stand aside and secretly envy.
He saw all of this clearly and felt extremely distressed. How could he bear to see his son Chen suffer like this?
He had thought many times about what she would look like if she put on a dress and adorned herself with hairpins and jewelry.
How beautiful it would be if the ribbon fluttered and fell on the green grass, and the long skirt swept across the fallen plum blossoms.
The long hair was like the wind, blowing the dress into the clouds.
Although he had never seen Yun Chen's female appearance, he had become familiar with it in his mind thousands of times.
But when Yun Chen really wore that lake blue dress——
She wore a moon-shaped hairpin on her head, jeweled earrings, a thin sash around her waist that was too thin to be pulled, and a jade bracelet inlaid with pink and white camellia and silver flowers on her wrist. She walked out with her head lowered and a faint smile on her face, shyly looking at him.
Huo Gannian only then realized that he was the most shallow person in the world. He had read so many books and seen so much of the world, but he could not even imagine one tenth of Yun Chen's brilliant charm.
She stood in front of him, too embarrassed to look up.
At her request, the nanny did not put heavy powder or rouge on her, but only applied a little makeup, drew her eyebrows, drew slightly upturned eyelashes, and put on cherry lipstick.
Yun Chen transformed from a handsome "milky-white boy" into a charming and beautiful girl.
Looking at the slightly upturned corners of the eyes, Huo Gannian felt that his mind had been completely drawn away.
"Give it back to me." He leaned over slightly, got closer to her, and looked at her carefully inch by inch, staring intently, unable to see enough.
She raised her bright eyes and looked at him shyly, not quite understanding, "What is it?"
"Give me back my soul." He leaned close to her ear, his voice low and seductive, "You've seduced me away, how can I live?"
Her face flushed, and she quickly covered her cheeks to stop him from looking at her, scolding him coquettishly:
"You are truly wicked!"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
He couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh, then he hugged her by the back of her neck and waist, suddenly lifted her up horizontally, frightening her so much that she hugged his neck and screamed:
"What are you doing? In broad daylight, you, you, you..."
He lowered his head and touched her face with his nose, grinning:
"I'm carrying you in a carriage. Didn't I tell you we were going for a walk in the city? What are you thinking of?"
Her face immediately turned red and hot with embarrassment, and she kept burrowing into his arms, gently pinching him with her hands, "Don't talk nonsense, I-I didn't think anything!"
His voice was a little lower and hoarse, and he said ambiguously:
"Don't move, or I won't be a gentleman to the end. I really want to be a playboy..."
"Stop talking!" She kicked her feet lightly to express her anger.
The two flirted for a while and then went into the city.
Fuyao City is not big, but the people live in a prosperous, peaceful and stable society.
In addition, the customs of Zhaoguo are much more open than those of Nanguo, and there are many women in the streets who go shopping and playing in public.
Therefore, when Huo Gannian and Yun Chen held hands under their wide sleeves and walked upright on the street, no one thought they were strange.
I am just amazed that there are such peerless young men and peerless beauties in the world. They walk side by side with deep affection in their eyes, and they look rich or noble, which is really the envy of others.
Huo Gannian had already arranged the itinerary and took Yun Chen to visit the theater, listen to books and songs, buy rouge and jewelry, and eat the most famous milk yellow rice cake in the city.
Yun Chen changed her usual spirit of a woman dressed as a man, and snuggled up to Huo Gannian like a little bird, smiling shyly and sweetly, which made someone's heart flutter all the way. She had no idea who was singing what, or whether the milk yellow rice cake was sweet or salty.
Seeing Yun Chen always raising his hand to touch the earrings, Huo Gannian asked: "What's wrong? Are the earrings uncomfortable?"
She said, "Clipping on something is never as secure as wearing it, and it always falls off."
"Do you want to get your ears pierced? Do you want to?"
"No, no, no, how can a man pierce his ears? How am I going to explain this to others in the army and in the Huo Gang?"
He smiled and said, "Why not? I noticed that all the warriors in Luojiang Kingdom have pierced ears, which shows that customs vary from place to place. If you want to wear them but are afraid of being recognized, then I'll accompany you."
She began to hesitate: "Is this okay?"
He urged her vigorously, "Why not? Didn't Pangu forbid men from piercing their ears when he created the world? I'll help you pierce your ears, then I'll take off my shirt and walk around the army twice. Naturally, no one will suspect you're a man!"
Feeling the urge to rebel and do bad things, they found a shop that specialized in selling earrings, where there happened to be an old woman who knew how to pierce ears.
The old woman looked at Yun Chen, who should have had his ears pierced before the age of thirteen but hadn't, and then looked at Huo Gannian, who had an unquestionable expression on his face, and asked uncertainly:
"Sir and Miss, both of you... want to get your ears pierced? Sir, you want to get yours too? Men can't pierce their ears; it will ruin your fortune and ruin your luck!"
Yun Chen didn't believe it at first, but when she heard that Huo Gannian's luck was going to be ruined, she immediately backed off. Just when she was about to say forget it, Huo Gannian said to the old woman without hesitation:
"I'm rich and have a long life, so why should I be afraid of this? If an ear piercing can change a person's fate, then I can just capture all the rich and powerful people in the world and pierce their ears one by one. Then I'll be the best in the world. Isn't that simple? Come on, pierce my ears first!"
Yun Chen couldn't help but covered his mouth and laughed. The old woman was also amused and had to take out the silver needle for piercing her ears and said with a smile:
"Sir, what you said is indeed quite reasonable. Let me, an old fellow, break the rules and pierce your ears."
The old woman wiped Huo Gannian's earlobe with salt water, and rubbed it with two soybeans until it became slightly red and swollen. She quickly pierced it with a silver needle, and a drop of bright red blood emerged.
Then gently cut off the end of the silver needle, leaving only a small part hanging, and fold it into a curved hook shape that is not easy to fall off, and you are done.
Seeing the grown man who was not afraid of playing with knives and guns, but was so painful from the silver needle piercing his ear that his face turned pale and he kept gasping for air, the old woman couldn't help but joke:
"Young Master, you were acting like a hero just now. Are you afraid of pain now? We women have been tortured by various rules since we were young. Take ear piercings, for example. From today on, you can't see water for three days, you can't remove the needles for seven days, you can't tilt your head when sleeping, you can't touch soft or hard objects, and you have to lubricate and maintain it regularly. If you're not careful, it will become red, swollen, and painful."
"Hiss..." Huo Gannian touched the small silver needle on his earlobe and felt a headache from the pain.
Yun Chen grinned at the sight, "Does it hurt so much? Otherwise, I'd better not wear it."
Upon hearing this, someone who was grimacing in pain suddenly had a tangled expression, as if he had died before achieving his goal. "Well...it's not impossible..."
Yun Chen fell to the side laughing and stopped teasing him. He pierced his two ears skillfully and did not feel the pain like Huo Gannian did.
She looked left and right in the mirror, then looked at Huo Gannian's profile in the mirror.
He has always been calm and strong. Except when talking to her, he is usually taciturn and aloof.
Now the silver star on her earlobes complemented her flamboyant phoenix eyes, revealing a unique kind of enchanting beauty, attracting many shoppers in the shop to look over with astonished and curious eyes.
Seeing her secretly looking at him in the mirror with a face full of infatuation, he was proud in his heart, but his face remained calm. He pretended to get a mirror, put his arms around her from behind, and whispered in her ear:
"It's inconvenient here because there are so many people. I'll show it to you alone at night. You can look at whatever you want."
The people coming and going in other shops were far away and could not hear the obscene talk, but the old woman with pierced ears was close by and could hear it clearly. She couldn't help but say to herself, "Young people just know how to have fun," and quickly moved away tactfully.
