Chapter 196 Urgent Matter
Although it is an old house from the 1990s, the bathroom was renovated with a unique wet and dry separation design.
However, due to the limitations of the original structure, the three separated spaces are somewhat narrow.
At least when the two people are facing each other, one of them has to turn sideways to pass.
Yu Huan, dressed in a thick, dark blue cotton pajama, emerged from the shower, drying her hair with a towel.
He searched for a hair dryer in the sink cabinet but found nothing, wondering if he should call his wife to ask.
But after thinking it over, I decided not to bother her with such a trivial matter. After all, my wife is going to be on Zhejiang TV's New Year's Eve gala tomorrow, so she must be very busy.
He strolled into the living room and saw Yu Chengcheng sitting on the sofa, rummaging through her backpack.
The girl had taken off her baseball cap, revealing a low ponytail in light ash gray. She also had a baby face, and if she didn't stand up, it would be hard to tell that she was that tall.
She carefully took a 13-inch laptop out of her bag and gently placed it on the coffee table.
Hearing the light footsteps, Yu Chengcheng looked up and glanced at him, teasingly saying, "Brother Huan, you've been taking a long time in the bath."
"Uh." Yu Huan scratched his head: "The bathroom heater feels really nice, and it's cold outside, so I really don't want to come out."
A hot bath seemed to wash away all his fatigue, leaving him feeling refreshed.
My eyelids, which used to feel like they weighed a ton, now feel much lighter with every blink.
Yu Chengcheng took out a brand-new Apple phone box from her bag, gently placed it on the coffee table, and pouted, saying, "Here, this is the phone you've been longing for. But speaking of which, now that you already have a rich sister-in-law, don't bother finding me any more American sisters-in-law."
The girl still remembered the joke Yu Huan made when he asked her for help.
Yu Huan's gaze swept over the packaging box as she rubbed her wet hair with a dry towel: "Where's the SIM card?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Chengcheng leaned back slightly.
He took his wallet out of his pocket, pulled out a large card, and placed it on the phone box.
"OK!" With everything ready, Yu Huan gave a gesture.
He then turned around and stopped in front of the TV cabinet, squatted down to open the cabinet door, and looked for a hair dryer.
Despite it being past midnight, Yu Chengcheng was still full of energy. She turned her gaze to the LCD TV next to him and asked, "Brother Huan, can you watch TV?"
"Yes, you can watch it."
Is there internet there?
"Not yet." Yu Huan asked without turning her head, "By the way, are you going out with your best friend tomorrow?"
"Yes, I plan to sleep until noon, then meet up with my best friend for a stroll and some delicious food at Orange Isle!"
"Then when you get up tomorrow, call Songnian and the others over. I'll have someone come over this afternoon to install broadband. Someone needs to stay home," Yu Huan instructed.
"Okay!" Yu Chengcheng replied.
"By the way, is your best friend one of those guys from town?"
Yu Chengcheng zipped up her backpack, tossed it casually into the corner of the sofa, shook her head, and said, "No, it's a high school classmate."
"Oh," Yu Huan replied.
Yu Chengcheng attended the No. 1 High School in the city.
Back then, the four prestigious schools in Changsha selected students from across the province, openly and blatantly recruiting the best.
She was admitted to university without taking an entrance exam, and her tuition and accommodation were also covered. She even received a scholarship.
Grandpa Yu was overjoyed back then, and whenever he went out, he would always mention my Chengcheng. Of course, now everyone knows his granddaughter is amazing, so there's nothing to talk about anymore, and it's all rather dull.
After chatting for a while, Yu Huan found the black hair dryer he had brought in the TV cabinet.
I immediately felt a chill on my head, so I quickly got up and went to the bathroom to dry my hair to avoid catching a cold and getting a headache.
Admiring his handsome face in front of the spotless mirror, the hairdryer whirred and quickly dried his hair to about 80% dry.
Neatly wind the hair dryer cord around the handle and then put it away in the sink cabinet.
Then I brushed my teeth carefully.
After completing all the preparations for bed, Yu Huan stretched lazily in front of the mirror to relax her body.
Instant comfort!
I could hear the sound of advertisements playing in my ears. When I walked out of the bathroom and into the living room, I saw the LCD TV glowing faintly, playing commercials.
Yu Chengcheng, meanwhile, lay on the sofa playing on her phone, her legs crossed and swaying back and forth.
This TV is basically just background noise.
"Orange, there are new toothbrushes and towels in the sink cabinet," Yu Huan reminded her.
Yu Chengcheng's fingertips flew across the screen, and amidst her busyness, she nodded slightly.
Yu Huan glanced at the clutter piled up by the door, thought for a moment, and decided to tidy up a bit.
He picked up the wok and spatula and put them into the stainless steel sink in the kitchen.
Yu Chengcheng glanced at it, her trembling crossed legs paused slightly, and then said, "Brother Huan, I'm jet-lagged, so it's still morning for me. You go to sleep first, and I'll help you get ready later."
The noise from the television and Yu Chengcheng's voice reached Yu Huan's ears at the same time.
He glanced back at the wall clock; the hour and minute hands were almost pointing to 12:30.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep now. I have to get up early in the morning." Yu Huan said, yawning.
"O."
Yu Chengcheng's eyes once again focused intently on the phone screen.
Yu Huan strode forward, grabbed the fruit-shaped phone box and SIM card from the coffee table, and immediately put the yo-yo on it.
As I passed the bedroom on the terrace, I glanced inside briefly. The bedding had already been packed by Yu Chengcheng and was laid out neatly on the bed.
This girl is sixteen and studying at university in the capital. She hasn't had her aunt accompany her much, so her self-reliance is undeniable and quite good. Yu Huan didn't stop walking. She opened the master bedroom door and entered, pressing the light switch on the wall next to the door with a "click".
The soft white light instantly filled every corner of the room, completely dispelling the gloom.
After Yu Huan turned around and closed the door, she walked to the bedside table, opened the drawer, and casually put her iPhone and SIM card inside.
He planned to open the box tomorrow; it wouldn't make a difference if he waited a little longer. It was just an Apple 5, and he wasn't surprised at all by it.
After all, besides important matters like sleeping, there are other urgent matters to attend to right now!
He rubbed his hands together with a look of anticipation.
I knelt down beside the bed.
Then, he pulled Lin Yourong's heavy little suitcase out from under the bed...
After carefully looking around, I tried pressing the unlock button a few times, but it wouldn't budge. Finally, I looked at the rotary combination lock with a sigh of relief.
It's locked, isn't it?
Doing these things to your husband?
Yu Huan felt that she was being wary of her.
Squatting on the ground with his butt sticking out, he performs a complete rotation: 0000—
Unlocking failed.
The initial combination for a suitcase is usually the same four digits. I've tried all the common combination combinations, but the button still doesn't budge.
What about 1234?
Yu Huan tried to think of a solution, but still failed to unlock the door.
His wife had definitely changed the default password. Seeing this, Yu Huan eagerly entered her birthday:
0219!
--fail!
Yu Huan pondered for a moment.
Right.
As a public figure, my wife's birthday is definitely not something I would use as a password.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be pointless to hang mosquito nets and burn mosquito coils?
He sighed helplessly.
Suppressing his strong urge to explore and his curiosity, he could only push the small suitcase back under the bed.
"There's really nothing to see here, it's not even the original flavor," Yu Huan muttered to herself, trying to comfort herself.
Ok.
I just wanted to see their marriage certificate.
After we got our marriage certificate that day, Lin Yourong took it all!
Thinking this, he pulled his suitcase out from under the bed, went to the balcony, picked up his laptop bag, and locked it in the suitcase.
I don't know where the bedroom door key is.
His two younger siblings have no sense of boundaries with him. If he lived alone, he would definitely do whatever he wanted, but it's unlikely that he would go into his and his wife's room and mess with things right now.
But tomorrow will be crowded with people, and broadband installers will be coming over. Yu Chengcheng might even bring her best friend over for a free meal.
Computers and laptops are of great importance.
It must be kept safe and secure to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
That said, I plan to stay here for at least a year, so maybe I should install a safe...
With this thought in mind, Yu Huan quickly took off her pajamas, leaped onto the bed, pulled back the covers, and crawled inside.
Take a deep breath.
The fresh scent emanating from the blankets and sheets made him feel incredibly relaxed; at that moment, all his fatigue dissipated into the air with each breath.
The primordial yang energy quickly warmed the bed.
Before going to sleep, he routinely sent a message on his phone:
'Honey, I'm going to sleep now, goodnight!'
Just as he was about to put his phone on the bedside table, Lin Yourong replied to his message instantly:
'Yu Chengcheng, have you made all the arrangements?'
Yu Huan smiled slightly, her fingers lightly tapping on the 3x3 grid: 'She's not a guest, just let her in and make herself at home.'
"Pfft! There's no mattress in the guest room. Are you sleeping in the room on the terrace?" Lin Yourong replied quickly again.
"Yes, I'm a little tired today, and besides, it was almost midnight when I got back from having late-night snacks at Songnian's place, so I had her make her own bed."
"Oh, then you should get some rest if you're tired! I'm going to put on a face mask and go to sleep too, I have to get up early for rehearsal tomorrow." Lin Yourong then sent two more words: "Goodnight!"
Yu Huan's lips curled into a smile, her sleepy eyes filled with laughter. She texted her, teasingly asking, "Who did you say goodnight to?"
Goodnight, darling~
Her reply made Yu Huan purse her lips.
Locking the suitcase is one thing.
Why don't you call him husband yet!
'You should get some rest too, mwah!'
Yu Huan sent her this line of text.
Seeing the moon emoji Lin Yourong sent, he immediately threw down his phone and turned off the light.
Darkness immediately enveloped him, bringing a strange sense of security.
This feeling is something that a rented room can never provide.
He lay flat on his back, adjusting his head to the most comfortable angle so that the pillow perfectly supported his neck.
At this moment, his mind was as calm as still water, and his breathing gradually became deep and rhythmic.
His consciousness began to blur, as if he were being gently swept away by a silent wave...
