Chapter 303 What are your brilliant ideas?
The night was dark.
The streetlights cast a hazy, yellowish glow, and the cold wind howled across the empty streets.
Yu Huan took Lin Yourong's hand and walked out of the stuffy environment. He took a deep breath of the fresh air, and the coolness immediately seeped into his lungs, making him feel extremely comfortable and pleasant.
In the quiet night, the occasional whooshing sound of vehicles speeding by could be heard.
Suddenly, Yu Huan noticed Lin Yourong's open trench coat and thought that it was fine inside the KTV with the central air conditioning on, but outside, with the wind so strong, wouldn't she catch a cold?
He immediately let go of her hand, turned around to stand opposite her, and closed her clothes.
While helping her button up her clothes, he turned to look at Yu Chengcheng beside him and asked with concern, "Chengzi, would you like something to eat?"
Yu Chengcheng waved her hand hastily and said with a smile, "It's almost midnight. In the KTV, Songnian and I have been eating snacks non-stop except for singing. Let's wash up and go to bed!"
“Okay, then let’s go straight home.” Yu Huan nodded slightly, a gentle smile on her face.
Look back.
Seeing Lin Yourong staring intently at him, her eyes, visible between the brim of her hat and her mask, shimmered with a gentle smile, like a clear spring rippling in the sunlight.
He immediately joked, "Never seen a handsome guy before, huh?"
Lin Yourong tapped the button on her navel with her fingertip, smiled gently, and said, "I buttoned it wrong."
"Hey~"
Yu Huan sighed and quickly untied it again:
"This is my first time helping someone button their clothes, so my skills are a bit rusty. Please don't mind."
Lin Yourong tilted her head: "I'll take it as you're telling the truth."
"How could it be fake?" Yu Huan asked in an unwavering tone.
This is the time.
The BMW slowly drove up and parked on the side of the road.
Yu Chengcheng bent down slightly and saw Yu Songnian driving up from the parking lot through the windshield.
He then stepped forward, lightly opened the passenger door, and turned back with a smile, saying, "Brother Huan and Sister Rong, you two can sit in the back!"
Yu Huan fastened the bottom button, gave her an 'OK' sign, then stepped forward, opened the car door, and nimbly climbed inside.
"Brother Huan, what do you mean?" Yu Songnian turned his head and asked in a muffled voice.
Yu Huan sat in the middle of the seat, leaning forward with her hands on the back of the seat in front of her, and said with a smile, "Chengzi said she wants to wash up and go to bed. What's your opinion?"
"Then let's wash up and go to bed. It's getting late, and if we have a late-night snack, it'll be one or two in the morning."
Yu Songnian turned around and placed his right hand on the steering wheel:
"I'll drive you home first, and then I'll leave immediately."
"Okay." Yu Huan nodded.
A slight slamming sound came from the car door. Yu Songnian glanced back and saw that the people were in place, then stepped on the gas.
By now, everyone was quite tired.
The BMW sped along the wide street, the dim light and shadows flashing by. The cabin was silent except for the slight noise of the engine and tires.
The ten-minute drive passed in the blink of an eye.
After entering the residential area, Yu Songnian turned the steering wheel and skillfully made several turns on the internal roads, gradually approaching the garage.
Yu Huan and Lin Yourong were sitting side by side in the back seat. Seeing this, they said, "Song Nian, let us out of the car first. I'll open the garage door, and you can park the car there."
"Okay," Yu Songnian replied.
He gently pressed the brake pedal, only to see Yu Chengcheng sitting in the passenger seat, her head slightly resting against the back of the seat, her body slightly tilted, her eyes slightly closed, as if she had fallen into a light sleep.
He quickly nudged her shoulder: "Sister Orange, we're here!"
Yu Chengcheng suddenly sat up straight, turned her head from side to side, and hurriedly looked around at her surroundings.
"Oh."
She rubbed her sleepy eyes with one hand and unbuckled her seatbelt with the other.
He pushed open the car door, stuck out his right foot, and after firmly placing it on the ground, he wobbled out of the car.
She gently closed the car door, and inadvertently met the eyes of Lin Yourong standing beside her. She yawned and said, "I stayed up until after 1 a.m. last night watching dramas."
Lin Yourong asked curiously, "What drama is it?"
Looking exhausted, Yu Chengcheng suddenly became enthusiastic and shared, "Sherlock, which mainly tells the story of crime and mystery, has already released its second season. It's pretty good!"
Lin Yourong nodded slightly: "Oh."
Seeing that she didn't seem too interested, Yu Chengcheng casually added, "It's a British drama, and the quality is quite good."
Lin Yourong's lips twitched slightly beneath her mask.
I'd love to share some dramas I've been enjoying lately, but I feel like someone as intellectual as Yu Chengcheng probably wouldn't be interested in a family drama like "Raising Children Is Difficult"...
After the "whoosh" of the roller shutter door rolling, Yu Huan stepped aside and watched as the little BMW slowly drove into the garage.
A few moments.
The engine stopped, and the headlights went out.
Yu Songnian gently closed the car door and walked to the doorway.
He handed the car keys to Yu Huan, who was standing next to him, and said, "Brother Huan, I'll head back now."
Yu Huan took the bag and put it in her pocket, nodding and saying, "Okay, you should get some rest."
"See you next year, Songzi!" Yu Chengcheng waved.
It was already January 2013 in the Gregorian calendar, so what she was referring to was clearly the lunar calendar.
Hearing this nickname and knowing she was about to leave the country, Yu Songnian didn't mind. He waved and said, "Have a safe trip, Sister Orange!"
Before he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yourong and said, "Sister Yourong, bye-bye!"
Lin Yourong nodded slightly: "Goodbye."
As they said their goodbyes, Yu Huan pulled down the roller shutter and squatted down to insert the key.
He casually asked Yu Songnian, who hadn't yet taken a step, "Songnian, is Qianqian in the county or the city?"
Yu Songnian put his hands on his hips, turned his head to look at his profile, and said, "In the county, Xu Hui and I are living together now. Of course, he sleeps on the sofa."
"Oh."
Yu Huan locked the door, stood up, and patted his shoulder:
"Drive slowly, see you later."
"Heh~ It's only a short distance." Yu Songnian took out a cigarette case from his pocket, put one in his mouth.
The two brothers went their separate ways.
Yu Huan followed behind his first wife and younger sister, quickly stepping into the stairwell.
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed continuously, finally stopping briefly on the third floor.
A long table under the orange-yellow motion-activated light immediately caught Yu Huan's attention, prompting him to walk over and examine it, asking in surprise, "Why did you move the table outside?"
Lin Yourong was taking out her keys from her crossbody bag to open the door when she heard this. She smiled and said, "When Chengcheng helped lay the carpet this afternoon, I moved it out for a bit. Now let's move it in."
Yu Huan nodded in realization, gave Yu Chengcheng a thumbs-up as she turned to look at him, and praised, "As expected of you, you're capable!"
Yu Chengcheng smiled, turned around and stepped forward, placing her hand on the edge of the table: "It's nothing, I laid it out with Sister Yourong." "I just lent a hand," Lin Yourong said softly, opening the door.
Turning around, she saw her two cousins preparing to lift the table, so she quickly went inside and turned on the light.
"Put the table inside the doorway first, change your shoes, then carry it into the karaoke room," Yu Huan instructed, easily lifting one side of the table with one hand.
"Okay." Yu Chengcheng responded, then lifted the table and stepped backwards onto the threshold.
The two cousins were quite busy.
Yu Huan carried the table and walked ahead, stepping into the karaoke room.
After turning on the lights, I leisurely glanced around.
The room was completely empty except for three potted snake plants on the windowsill. Although there was nothing else there, it still felt refreshingly new.
The carpet was neat and tidy, and walking on it felt like stepping on soft grass, both soft and resilient.
Yu Huan smiled and nodded repeatedly, praising, "Not bad, not bad, after this tidying up, it looks somewhat presentable."
"Put all sorts of musical instruments in here, and then Sister Rong sits in here, the feeling..." Yu Chengcheng kept clicking her tongue.
They put the table back in its original place and placed it properly against the wall.
After looking around the room for a while, he slowly walked out of the karaoke room.
Yu Huan, who was walking ahead, suddenly noticed Lin Yourong sitting on the sofa, leaning over the coffee table, intently fiddling with something.
He quickened his pace to get a closer look and saw that she was installing the film box on a Polaroid camera.
Recalling their time on the student street, when Yu Chengcheng wanted to take a photo booth picture with her, Lin Yourong casually mentioned that she had a Polaroid camera at home—
It must be said that the first wife is quite a man of her word.
After having a wild time at the karaoke bar, he had even temporarily forgotten about the whole thing.
In the dead of night, Yu Chengcheng saw this scene and let out a low, booming sound: "You're so kind, Sister Rong!"
After removing her hat and mask, Lin Yourong's cheeks were slightly flushed, indicating that the alcohol had not yet been completely metabolized from her body.
A gentle smile played on her lips as she softly said, "Chengcheng, let's take a few pictures together."
Seeing that she had closed the back cover and finished installing it, Yu Huan bent down and took the white Fujifilm Instax camera in her hand.
"Huan-ge, do you know how to use an instant camera?" Yu Chengcheng asked with some doubt, after all, in his memory, he had never even played with a camera.
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan carefully examined the buttons on the instant camera and joked with a smile, "This instant camera doesn't have a function to take pictures without developing them, so I have to know how to use it. Pressing the shutter button costs several yuan!"
Lin Yourong chuckled: "Then you should take a picture of me and Chengcheng first to see how it goes."
“Okay, okay!” Yu Chengcheng quickly plopped down next to Lin Yourong.
The drowsiness on her face vanished instantly, and she rubbed her hands together with anticipation.
"Then let's take a shot of you two from above first." Yu Huan picked up the Polaroid camera and took a step forward.
Upon seeing this, Yu Chengcheng immediately grabbed Lin Yourong's arm with her right hand, tilted her head and leaned close to Lin Yourong's shoulder, while making a peace sign with her left hand.
"Wait a minute!"
Lin Yourong hurriedly raised her Buddha's Palm, blocking the camera, and waved it, saying:
"Let me fix my hair first."
The two cousins were immediately interrupted from casting their spells.
Yu Huan put the Polaroid camera down from in front of her, letting it hang by her side, and responded with an "Oh".
Yu Chengcheng then raised her hand to touch the baseball cap on her head: "I'm taking my hat off too."
Yu Huan stood by the coffee table with her left hand on her hip, watching Lin Yourong fluff up her hair, which had been pressed flat under her hat.
Just as she was examining her reflection with the front-facing camera on her phone, Yu Huan smiled and said, "My wife is beautiful no matter what. Every shot of her looks like a masterpiece."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong immediately rolled her eyes at him.
However, the slight upturn of her lips told Yu Huan that she had truly touched Yu Huan's heart.
Yu Chengcheng, who had already finished getting ready, smiled and showered Rong-jie with compliments: "Sister Rong is naturally beautiful, with a face that looks good on camera. She can withstand the test of any angle and looks good no matter how you take a picture!"
"Orange, your statement is not comprehensive enough; it's too conservative."
Yu Huan coughed slightly and said in a serious tone:
"She looks beautiful on camera, that's for sure, but she's even more beautiful in real life! Just like now, sitting on the sofa, she looks like a fairy descended from heaven, as if she's glowing from head to toe."
The more Lin Yourong listened, the more she felt something was wrong; this person's exaggeration was simply outrageous.
She immediately stood up slightly, raised her hand and patted Yu Huan's waist, saying coquettishly, "Are you looking for a beating!"
Yu Chengcheng cupped her hands in a respectful gesture and said with a grin, "Brother Huan really knows how to praise people. I'm ashamed of myself and I admire him greatly!"
Yu Huan, despite taking a light blow from Lin Yourong, remained unmoved due to her high health and defense. Seeing that the two of them seemed quite happy, she pressed her advantage, saying, "Then I'll start filming—"
Before he could finish speaking, he raised his Polaroid camera and shouted, "Come on—3—2—1—"
As Yu Huan counted down, Yu Chengcheng used the same trick again, quickly adjusting her posture.
The flash went off, and for a moment, time seemed to freeze.
In the brightly lit living room, Yu Huan slightly bent her knees, leaned forward, and steadily aimed the tripod at the two people on the sofa.
In the lens.
Yu Chengcheng affectionately leaned her head on Lin Yourong's shoulder, one hand linked with Lin Yourong's arm, the other hand making a playful peace sign, her face beaming with a bright smile.
Lin Yourong's rosy cheeks looked even more beautiful and charming in the camera lens, with a gentle smile in her eyes and at the corners of her mouth.
"Wow, it's out! Let me see!" Yu Chengcheng's voice was full of urgency as she eagerly stood up, staring intently at the photo paper slowly popping out from the top of the Polaroid camera.
Yu Huan smiled and handed the photograph to Yu Chengcheng.
Seeing that she was about to shake it off, he quickly raised his hand to stop her: "Don't shake it off! Otherwise the developer will not be distributed evenly, which will affect the imaging effect."
Yu Chengcheng paused, looking puzzled, and said, "In TV dramas, they always swing it a few times, right?"
Yu Huan rolled her eyes, speechless: "You're asking me if I've ever used a Polaroid camera? You've only ever seen Polaroid cameras on TV, haven't you?"
Yu Chengcheng scratched her head awkwardly: "I saw someone else use it from afar."
Lin Yourong smiled and explained softly, "It will take a while to develop an image, but it's cold now, so the development will be a little slower."
Upon hearing this, Yu Chengcheng immediately clasped her hands together to cover the photographic paper and said, "Sister Yourong, rising temperature can accelerate the photochemical reaction. If I cover it like this, my body temperature can also speed up the imaging process, right?"
Lin Yourong thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Yu Huan handed the Polaroid camera to Yu Chengcheng and said, "If you keep taking pictures and covering them up, how are you going to sleep tonight? Put it aside for now and let us, husband and wife, take a picture!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Chengcheng opened her palms and looked at the photographic paper in her hands, where a blurry image was gradually emerging.
He bent down and carefully placed the photographic paper on the coffee table, then picked up the Polaroid camera and fiddled with it, asking, "Is there a trick to it?"
Yu Huan patiently explained: "The lens and viewfinder are not in the same position. For example, with this instant camera, the viewfinder is in the upper right corner of the lens. So when you take a picture of a person, you have to move it slightly to the right so that the picture will be centered."
"This is how you shoot close-ups." Lin Yourong nodded slightly.
Yu Chengcheng made an 'OK' gesture: "Got it, rangefinder framing!"
“As for other aspects, it’s the same as when you take photos.” Yu Huan said, sitting down next to Lin Yourong and putting his arm around her slender waist.
