Husband (2)
This beef hot pot restaurant does not have fatty beef rolls, only fresh-cut beef. The fresh beef was served in a plate with a bright color. The meat was firm, and the time required to boil different parts of the beef was different, but most of them could be cooked in seconds, placed it in a large colander and take it out after it was cooked.
Unlike the last time he ate the old butter hotpot, this time Lin Yuhe basically didn’t do much, and spent the whole time eating what Lu Nan cooked for him.
It seems that without pepper, Lu Nan’s combat effectiveness was also much stronger.
The fresh-cut beef that was cooked in less than ten seconds was tender and fresh, the meat had an unusually rich aroma, and the hand-made beef balls are fragrant and springy, full of mellow and delicious soup. Every bite was very satisfying.
Lin Yuhe, who had been busy studying for the exam for so long, finally had a sense of happiness after eating this hotpot meal.
The beef in this shop was amazing, and the soup base was also fresh. He ate two plates of neck kernels and one plate of five flower toes by himself. After eating another half plate of beef balls, Lin Yuhe finally persuaded the man, “Eat some too, Ge.”
Lu Nan looked at the sharply piled plates in front of Lin Yuhe, and picked up the chopsticks after making sure that he had enough food.
Lin Yuhe also breathed a sigh of relief.
Gege had been busy cooking meat for him, so it’s time for Gege to also eat some.
Lin Yuhe didn’t know what Lu Nan was thinking at the moment, if he knew, he wouldn’t relax.
——If Ningning was not fed first, how will he eat?
The rich soup was tumbling in the pot, and mist rose up. Lin Yuhe looked up while biting the beef balls. Across him, the man’s facial features seemed to be softened by the hazy heat, and the sharp outline was tainted with a bit of fireworks, which finally made people no longer afraid of his sharpness and dared to look him straight in the eye.
It’s strange, the man obviously didn’t smile. His expression was still cold, and there was an unchangeable murderous intent in his face.
However, Lin Yuhe was inexplicably satisfied.
It’s like fresh soup full of beef and aroma, pouring warmly down the throat and into the stomach.
The heat from the hotpot was very strong, but not so thick that it could block the sight. Lin Yuhe was confused by the warm aroma and forgot to cover up his gaze. When Lu Nan caught him looking up, only then did he realize that he had been staring at people for a long time.
He hastily withdrew his gaze, picked up the juice and pretended to cover it up. This cover-up was really not very clever, and a discerning eye could see through it at a glance.
But fortunately, Lu Nan didn’t delve into it, the man opened his mouth, but brought up another matter.
“Ningning, do you remember that I introduced you to my friends at the wedding banquet?”
“I told them, you are my lover.”
Lin Yuhe nodded back to his senses, placed the juice down. “I remember, what’s wrong?”
The man’s voice seemed to be blurred by the heat, dimly, with a little warmth.
“I’ve been thinking about it, and I think I should explain it to you.”
“The term ‘lover’ does not mean spouse in Xiangjiang, but is synonymous with lover.
Lover, meaning lover, the object of extramarital affair.”
Lu Nan continued, “I left Xiangjiang after I was born and have been living in the mainland. I learned the meaning of ‘lover’ from my parents around me. I don’t mean to call you a lover, but just a partner.”
No matter how dull Lin Yuhe was, it was impossible for him not to notice the rare talk of a man at this moment.
Also the rare clumsiness.
Lu Nan said, “I hope I could explain it clearly to you, so that you don’t mind about this matter…”
Lin Yuhe straightened the juice cup and said, “I don’t mind.”
Lu Nan stopped talking and looked at him silently.
Instead, Lin Yuhe smiled. “Actually, I know.”
He said, “When I met Mr. Lu in Xiangjiang that day, the first thing he asked me was if he was Gege’s lover. I guessed it. The word ‘lover’ that Mr. Lu said must not be of a good meaning.”
Lu Nan paused slightly.
Emotionally, he had always treated Lin Yuhe as a child, but he had never thought that the other party would be so smart and sensitive.
Lu Nan felt the surprise at first, and then he felt the dull pain in his chest.
If one actually thought about it, one could easily guess, how many similar experiences must had he gone through before to be able to perceive maliciousness so keenly?
In contrast, Lin Yuhe’s tone was much lighter. “But I don’t think there is anything wrong with this title. A word has different meanings in different contexts. Actually, I quite like the name ‘lover’. My grandma passed away early, but every time my grandpa mentioned her to others, he would say ‘my love’.”
Having been with Lu Nan for so long, Lin Yuhe can naturally feel the other party’s attitude towards him. He knew that Lu Nan was different from the Lu family. When Lu Nan said lover, Lin Yuhe would not think of a ‘lover’. It would only make him feel that his Gege was serious, nostalgic, and a little traditional.
Moreover, Lu Nan took the trouble to explain this matter to him, which reminded Lin Yuhe of how Lu Nan explained Fang Zishu’s situation to him when they got engaged.
At that time, Lin Yuhe felt that Mr. Lu was very responsible, and whoever was with him in the future must be very happy.
Now Lin Yuhe was thinking the same.
He thinks his Gege was a fine man.
So Lin Yuhe also wanted to reassure Lu Nan, he said, “Gege, don’t think too much, I know what you mean by ‘lover’, it’s just a title.”
He also pointed to himself.
“Just like I always call you Gege, I also know that Gege means husband.”
Lu Nan: “…”
It was difficult for Lu Nan to describe his feelings when he heard this, and he was unable to speak for a long time.
He glanced at the meal on the table and felt that Lin Yuhe still ate too little.
Other time, he definitely would not be able to hold on.
