“Ahem…” Lu Yi coughed.
He had to admit it that this point was certainly true, and there was no way for him to refute it. Yes, Yan Huan was yet to be famous when he first met her, but the only thing that he remembered precisely was her appearance, because she was beautiful.
Oh men, such shallow creatures.
They said that they were not looking for a beautiful wife, because they were worried that others would not stop thinking about their wives. But the truth is, others would just gossip about it. Look, this person’s wife is so pretty, that person’s wife is so good looking. Who would not be pleased with that?
Alright, let’s stop discussing this issue. He could not win this argument against Yan Huan.
That was why he gave up.
“Let’s go home.” Lu Yi held Yan Huan’s hand tightly again, ready to bring her back. However, at this moment, he did not notice the look on Fang Zhu’s face, which looked like how Miejue looked when killing Ji Xiaofu. She was glaring fiercely at her new boyfriend.
“Could it be that all men are sensory animals, so you guys can be attracted to women with only looks but no brains? Why can’t you all just grow a brain, why can’t you all just be a little more mature?”
The man was shocked by her domineering tone. It was not that he was awed by her action, but rather frightened by it. Just when Fang Zhu was going to continue her tirade, the man could not help but interrupt her.
“A beauty and an ugly betty stand together, even a fool would know which one to choose! Teacher Fang…” Again, he sized Fang Zhu up. She was as dark as a crow, which would bring bad luck to anyone who married her. “I really wanted to get along with you, but now, I’ve realized that a person so perfect, noble and educated like you would be unfit for a common person like me. I think you can find a better guy for yourself.”
He was sick of the same straight and unamused face that she wore everyday. Granted, she could have the best family background, the best knowledge, or the best job, but they would all be useless as he wanted to marry someone who could be his wife, not his teacher.
Therefore, they were not suited for each other, definitely not suited at all.
Besides, which man would not like a beauty? Which woman would not like for herself to be a beauty?
Fang Zhu must have came from another dimension. He really could not bring himself to accept her personality, and even if he tried, it would be too tough on him to tolerate it for the rest of his life.
Fang Zhu had lost count of the number of her relationships had died off without a known cause.
This must be the fifth one in this month. She did not feel like meeting anyone anymore, and she did not feel like getting married anymore. If she was first married to Lu Yi in her early years, all of this would not have happened. However, she did not take that opportunity when it arose, instead, she let someone take him away.
Lu Yi was already married for more than two years, but what about her? She did not even have a serious boyfriend right now. For those simple men, any woman who had the slightest charm in them would be enough to move their hearts.
What good would this kind of men be to her?
She pushed her glasses, grabbed her bag and left. However, when she saw the few couples who were kissing intimately under the trees not far away, her heart clenched.
All of their studies must be in vain. At this young age, they were acting in a way that was offensive to decency and modesty, such a disgrace! She could not understand how modern men and women could be so shameless, just like how others could not understand the diamond underneath her shell.
Yan Huan got into the car, took out a bag of snacks and started to munch on them right away.
Lu Yi did not stop her from eating. The snacks that he had bought for her were all healthier snacks with not as much food additives, and since she was not substituting them for proper meals, it would not matter if she took another pack of snacks.
This was one of Yan Huan’s guilty pleasures, and also the only personality trait she had that resembled a woman her age. Other times, she would have a lot on her mind and her brain was occupied with all kinds of thoughts. It was far from how she was like now, kind of silly, kind of innocent.
To Lu Yi, he thought that there was one expression that might be used in regards to her current child-like behavior.
Great wisdom takes the looks of folly.
It was she who allowed herself to be silly, it was also she who allowed herself to be innocent.
Time passed by so quickly when they were together. In the blink of an eye, it seemed like days and days had already gone by. Yan Huan grew more and more impatient, and less and less talkative.
Lu Yi walked out of the kitchen with a bowl in his hands, which he set down in front of her.
Yan Huan then picked up the bowl and started to drink the soup, which neither tasted bad, nor good.
“Remember, don’t run around.” Lu Yi placed his hand on her shoulder, then grasped it tightly. I will be back very soon.
“Don’t run around? You will be back very soon, right?” Yan Huan raised her eyes and looked at him, a layer of hazy, dense mist crystallizing over them.
“Hm, drink the soup, eat well, and stay home. I will be back soon.” Lu Yi curled his fingers slightly, lowered his body and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
Yan Huan smiled at him. “Then, I will wait for you to come back.”
“Okay.” Lu Yi picked up the notebook that he had placed aside and stored it in a drawer.
The rain had started to pour outside. It was a heavy rain. Over a few days, the streets in Sea City had been flooded several times. The heavy rain had constantly impeded people from setting out on their daily commutes, and at the same time, caused a lot of inconvenience in work and daily living.
The most terrifying thing was the fact that the water from each main drainage outlet in Sea City was wildly rushing into the Sea River, causing the water level outside of Sea City to rise tremendously. Although it was still below warning level, but it was not the sea that was rising in Sea City, but the Sea River, which had always remained calm.
The water level of Sea River continued to rise. Although the river embankment had been reinforced beforehand, and the flood-prevention sandbags were sufficiently prepared, but it was unsure whether these would be of much help against the rapidly rising flood water.
Well, no one would know this more objectively than Yan Huan, and no one would understand it better and clearer than Yan Huan.
Because they had not reincarnated.
Because they had not gone through this.
However, Yan Huan had reincarnated. Yan Huan had gone through it, and therefore, she understood, and she was afraid.
After the sound of door closing had faded away, Yan Huan picked up the bowl again and drained the nutritious soup prepared by the housekeeper. The housekeeper had told her to drink this every day. As for how long she would need to drink it, it must be done until her body had recovered, until the time when she no longer felt like drinking it anymore.
Her tears rolled down her chin and dripped into the bowl, splashing the liquids on the table.
What are you crying for? She wiped off her tears hurriedly. Lu Yi was not heading out to die. He had lived for a long time in her past life, so everything would be fine. Therefore, what was she crying for? Yes, what was she crying for, what exactly made her cry? She kept asking herself that, and at the same time asking the surrounding air. But what can she do if she just wanted to cry? What if she just could not stop her tears?
She put down the bowl and walked to the television. The television was on, and as she flipped through the channels, she found out that every channel in Sea City was broadcasting the news on the thunderstorm.
