Chapter 6: Objects of Romance
Then let's go buy a bottle of wine to take back!" Huang Fei said with a smile. "Later at the dinner table, if there are no topics to discuss, we can have a drink to avoid an awkward silence, which would be embarrassing. Indeed, he really didn't know what to talk about with the elders; he certainly couldn't talk about her daughter, could he
Yu Ruoqi smiled with her eyes closed, taking a deep breath. She opened her arms in a state of deep enchantment, savoring this romantic and warm moment. A gentle breeze brushed through her hair, causing her flowing locks to dance in the wind, evoking a sense of endearment.
Hmm. This feeling is truly wonderful
"Alright. A deal is a deal, but you must not go back on your word!" Yu Ruoqi said with a smile
Huang Fei's explanation made Yu Ruoqi feel that this situation indeed had a certain meaning
Mom and Dad, we are back! As soon as she reached the door, Yu Ruoqi shouted.
Ling's father quickly got up to take the wine bottle from Huang Fei, smiling politely as he said, "We are all family here, so there is no need to be so formal. You shouldn't have brought anything; you are being too considerate." Although he said this, his eyes were squinting with a smile, clearly delighted.
To deceive you is to be like a little dog
That is more like it
"OK! You can open your eyes now," Huang Fei said
"Look at you two, only focused on getting drunk." Ling's mother interjected with a smile, saying to Huang Fei, "Xiao Fei, eat more vegetables, don't go crazy with him, haha!"
Yu Ruoqi obediently closed her eyes, while Huang Fei grasped her shoulders and gently turned her position until he stopped when she was facing the direction of the moon
"Come, sit here," said Ling's father, pointing to the sofa beside him
Yu Ruoqi finally retrieved her thoughts that were lost in the wind. She lowered her arms, opened her beautiful eyes, and turned to Huang Fei with a smile, asking: "Brother-in-law, how did you come up with this? It feels so wonderful! I truly envy my sister"
Romance? How should I present this? Let me think!" Huang Fei furrowed his brows and said with great difficulty.
The situation is as follows. Huang Fei quickly found an excuse to explain, saying, "I had a small misunderstanding with your sister, and she ran back to her hometown to avoid me. To find her, I came here first." He dared not tell Yu Ruoqi that the two of them had merely crossed paths and that his pursuit to this place was merely driven by curiosity and a sense of responsibility.
"Alright," Huang Fei nodded and smiled
Huang Fei smiled at her actions and walked over to sit down on the swing beside her. However, he did not laugh recklessly and swing back and forth like Yu Ruoqi; he simply sat quietly beside her, watching Yu Ruoqi play. Occasionally, he gently rocked the swing a couple of times, wearing a faint smile on his face, exuding an air of leisure and tranquility.
Huang Fei closed his eyes and speculated about what Yu Ruoqi would give as a gift
The sales assistant stood in front of Huang Fei, handed him the packaged clothes and credit card, and said: "Sir, here are the items you purchased, please check them."
"Wow, really? What is it, and where is it?" Yu Ruoqi exclaimed. She resembled a child who had finally received a long-desired toy.
Ling's father looked at Huang Fei, nodded, and smiled, his eyes filled with admiration, and said: "Xiao Fei, the more I see you, the more I like you. About what I just mentioned to you..."
However, this smile is truly as charming as the blooming pear blossoms, and the action of biting the chopsticks is also filled with playful elegance
Soon after, a series of crisp and melodious giggles, reminiscent of the sound of yellow warblers, echoed through the night sky, fading from near to far. It turned out that Yu Ruoqi had secretly kissed Huang Feichun on the lips and then ran away.
"Alright, but you must not get drunk. You promised me that you would give me a romantic evening tonight," Yu Ruoqi reminded.
***
Yu Ruoqi found a place with a swing and sat down, then with a cheerful smile, she pushed off the ground with her feet, swinging herself up, while her laughter echoed joyfully.
Yu Ruoqi held the chopsticks in her mouth, gently nibbling on them, while looking at Huang Fei with a hint of a smile. She knew that Huang Fei had nothing to say, which was why he was using wine in place of words. She was completely reveling in the misfortune, watching Huang Fei's performance.
"You should also close your eyes first," said Qi Qi
Suddenly, a softness was felt on the lips, and a fragrant aroma wafted into the nostrils, refreshing to the heart and lungs
"Yes, indeed. How could I go back on my word? I am merely accompanying your father for a drink to ease the atmosphere." Huang Fei nodded in agreement.
"Uncle, it's rare to be so happy today. Come, let's have another drink," Huang Fei quickly interrupted Ling's father's words with a raised glass. It couldn't be said any further; otherwise, if Ling's mother and Yu Ruoqi heard it, they would encourage it again, and there would be no turning back. He had not yet determined whether he liked Yu Ruoling, so how could he agree so quickly.
Hmm. Yu Ruoling nodded
Really?" Yu Ruoqi jumped up with joy, tilting her little head in thought, murmuring, "Let me think, what do I need... Oh right, could you give me a romantic gesture? I long for an unforgettable romantic memory." She lowered her hands and looked at Huang Fei with her bright, clear eyes, filled with desire and anticipation, hoping that Huang Fei could fulfill such a wish
Night falls
Are they toys or small ornaments? Or are they little trinkets that she made by hand herself
A long time.
Huang Fei stood up and walked towards a lush tree not far away, while Yu Ruoqi curiously followed him
Those who are easily satisfied are the ones who find it easiest to be happy; sometimes, having more does not necessarily lead to happiness. Understanding the balance between gain and sacrifice, as well as the act of giving, is the true essence of happiness
The two individuals tilted their heads back and drank it all in one go, displaying a bold and straightforward demeanor
Just as I sat down, Ling's father suddenly asked, "Xiao Fei, how long have you known Lingzi?"
"Good, good, let's drink, we shall drink." Ling's father laughed heartily as he picked up his wine glass again and said, "Since we are so happy today, let us not discuss anything, we must enjoy ourselves to the fullest, hahahaha..."
After the two individuals exited the shopping mall, they returned once again to the bustling street filled with voices
Huang Fei laughed heartily, and being with such a naive and lively girl inevitably brightened one's mood
After Ruoqi left, he walked over to Ling's father, who was sitting on the sofa in the hall
Come here with me
Well... let's keep it a secret for now," Huang Fei said playfully, pretending to be mysterious. "I'll tell you after dinner when I get home, hahaha...
"Hmm! I like it," Yu Ruoqi said, nodding emphatically. "Brother-in-law, I will also give you something!"
"Oh, what does Qiqi want to give me?" Huang Fei asked curiously
Huang Fei's pupils constricted in surprise, and he hurriedly said: "Uncle, isn't it a bit too early? Moreover, this depends on what Ah Ling says; I can't do it alone!"
I see that you are no longer young, have you considered finding a date to settle things?" said Ling's father earnestly
"Uncle, Xiao Fei truly has a low tolerance for alcohol, I hope you can forgive me. I will toast you with another cup to express my sincerity." Huang Fei raised his cup and drank, feigning straightforwardness. After finishing, he pretended to sway as if he had genuinely begun to feel the effects of the alcohol.
Alright! I shall grant you a romance!" Huang Fei said with a cheerful laugh
"Well, then I will thank you in advance," Huang Fei said, revealing a clear and gentle smile. "To express my gratitude to you, let me give you something. Is there anything you would like?"
Unintentionally
Before she arrives, her voice is heard first; this is her habit every time she enters the house. It is evident that she has a strong attachment to her home and is also a simple and lovely girl
Yu Ruoqi opened her eyes in surprise, but when she realized that there was nothing there, her little face became confused, and she asked, "Where is it? Where are the props?"
The two then went to buy a bottle of white liquor and also picked up some cleaning supplies before heading back. By the time they got home, it had already grown dark, and dinner was ready. Ling's mother was busy in the kitchen while Ling's father sat leisurely on the sofa watching television
The crowd comes and goes, continuously and without interruption
Uh?
A gentle breeze caresses the face, soft and soothing, the night is very quiet, as the taste of those lips lingers in my mind
"Ah, props?" Yu Ruoqi asked in confusion
Hahaha... alright. Father Ling laughed heartily, raising his glass to clink with Huang Fei's, and said: "Come, cheers!"
What are you all talking about? Come over and sit down! The meal is ready, we can chat more after eating, " called Ling's mother from a distance
In the restaurant
Yu Ruoqi took Huang Fei to a nearby park
Oh? It really is!
You arrived just in time; the dishes are already prepared. Qiqi, come quickly and help me bring the dishes up. " Mother Ling called out while busy serving the dishes.
Uncle, this is my toast to you, wishing you longevity and good health, cheers! Huang Fei raised his wine glass and said to Ling's father
Hello, Uncle. Huang Fei approached Ling's father with a bottle of white liquor, stopping in front of him, and with a broad smile, handed over the bottle. He said, "This is a bottle of liquor I bought for you. I heard from Qi Qi that you enjoy a sip of this every day, so I picked it up on my way. Please accept it."
"Well, what I want to show you is an item that often appears in many romantic films and love stories around the world. Although it is a bit old, it has been well preserved," Huang Fei said with a smile.
"This is as it should be," Huang Fei said with a smile
Meal concluded
***
"I think so too," Yu Ruoqi said with an innocent expression. "With such a good person as my brother-in-law, how could my sister be so foolish as to drive you away? Don't worry, I will speak on your behalf tomorrow; my sister and I are the best of friends." She spoke as if everything in the world were so self-evident, completely lacking any sense of vigilance towards Huang Fei.
"Hmm. He drinks a little every time he eats, what's wrong?" Yu Ruoqi asked
Alright. Huang Fei nodded and sat down beside Ling's father
Does your father like to drink alcohol? Huang Fei asked on the way back
"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Fei will listen to Uncle," Huang Fei said with a smile. My goodness, this is too fast! The plan hasn't even been outlined yet.
"Words of the matchmaker, orders of the parents. If she dares not listen to what I say, I will talk to her when she comes back tomorrow" said Ling's father
After Ling's father finished his drink and set down the glass, Huang Fei immediately took the initiative to refill his glass from the bottle, and then poured himself another cup. With the elder present, he dared not act recklessly and had to display as much humility as possible.
Hehe... this girl. Huang Fei touched his lips and smiled helplessly
Huang Fei was taken aback for a moment; he did not expect Ling's father to ask this question. His eyes darted around, and he quickly replied ambiguously, "We have known each other for a long time. Why do you ask, Uncle?" He absolutely could not tell Ling's father that they had only known each other for less than two days.
"Let's go, it's time to eat!" said Ling's father as he pulled Huang Fei forward.
The gentle breeze caresses, the branches sway with the wind, and under the illumination of the moonlight, they appear uniquely warm and enchanting
If it is something like a gift, as long as it is something that Ruoqi likes and he can give, then it can be given directly. How can he give something as intangible and elusive as romance
"Hmm, thank you," Huang Fei said as he took the item, glanced at it casually, and after putting it away, turned to Yu Ruoqi and said: "Qiqi, we are heading back."
"Secret, hahaha... do you like it?" Huang Fei said with a smile, pretending to be mysterious
A moment
As day transitions into night, the bright and luminous full moon slowly rises from the deep mountains. Under the gentle illumination of the moonlight, the earth appears to be draped in a veil of golden silk, exuding a soft and graceful beauty
Forget it, as long as young people do their best, I am still very happy today. Come, come, let's eat vegetables, hahaha... Father Ling also stopped entangling, and the meal proceeded happily like this
Two people stood under the large tree, with Huang Fei supporting her shoulders from behind, saying: "You close your eyes first, the props will be out soon!"
"Hey! Right there." Huang Fei pointed at the bright and luminous full moon in the sky and said, "Countless great love stories have taken place under a bright moon. With the full moon hanging high and the willow trees swaying below, don't you think it's very romantic?"
"Alright, you go ahead and get busy!" Huang Fei nodded.
How many people in the world can truly know each other? It is said that a brush of shoulders in five hundred years can lead to a meeting in this life, yet how many people, even after tearing their clothes, may not end up together
"Alright, I will be there shortly," Yu Ruoqi replied. She turned her head to look at Huang Fei and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, you can go sit with my dad first, just place the things aside, and I will go help my mom with the dishes."
The park in the evening is tranquil and mysterious, with dim lights casting a soft and ambiguous glow on the stone-paved path
Is that so? Huang Fei pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright! If you want to close it, then close it." Although it is a bit clichéd and has been overused on television, it still proves effective in reality.
Before long, the sales assistant returned with a shopping bag in hand
"This is more like it." Yu Ruoqi finally smiled with satisfaction
A table for four, with five dishes and one soup, is just right.
Huang Fei pondered for a long time, and suddenly he had a spark of inspiration. He thought of something that required no money and was readily available. Surely, that should be romantic enough
Clear skies and a bright moon, tranquil and warm
Indeed! Brother-in-law, you promised me that you wouldn't get drunk, so don't forget. Yu Ruoqi's sparkling eyes blinked at Huang Fei, fearing that he might forget to deliver the romance he owed her
As Yu Ruoqi's swing began to slowly come to a stop, she steadied herself and, turning to the side, grasped the ropes with both hands while looking at Huang Fei, her face filled with anticipation as she said: "Brother-in-law, what is the romance you promised me? Can you reveal it now?"
