The snow had stopped when Shen Yuhan and Shan Qihuan came out of the hospital, but when they returned home, cotton-like snowflakes began to fall again. After Shen Yuhan had dinner, the two of them sat on the white carpet in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to enjoy the snow.
Before they went out in the morning, Shan Qihuan quietly asked Aunt Wang to lay the carpet, and there was a small square table on it. The two of them sat opposite each other, Shen Yuhan resting his chin on his hand and looking at the snow with his head tilted, while Shan Qihuan was using a computer to reply to emails.
In previous winters, he could only lie in bed at night. Even if there were three braziers in the room, he would still shiver with cold. He would have to cover himself with two quilts to feel warm. Moreover, it was absolutely impossible for him to stay up late at night and run to the window to watch the snow, as the cold wind could freeze people to death. It was also impossible for him to sit by the window at night and catch snowflakes with open hands like in the TV dramas.
Shen Yuhan put down the teacup and looked at his relatively fair palms. He used to get frostbite on his hands, but this winter was very warm and there was no sign of it at all.
He felt that modern times were actually quite good. At least he was no longer so afraid of the cold in winter.
Blow on the tea leaves in the cup and drink it bit by bit.
Shan Qihuan had time to log into his Weibo after he finished dealing with a batch of emails. He thought he was just promoting Shen Yuhan's paintings. However, he didn't expect that the painting "Winter Solstice" had already accumulated a group of small fans. His Weibo was often targeted by marketing accounts. This time, it became popular immediately. Fans also told him in the comments that it was on the hot search again today!
And this time, he relied on the hot searches on Shen Yuhan’s paintings.
#Youth painting renamed Winter Solstice#
#Winter Solstice author's new work Beginning of Summer#
#Does the author of Winter Solstice Shan Qihuan have a lover? #
There are only three hot searches related to his Weibo, and for a blogger who did not buy hot searches, these are completely enough to promote himself and Shen Yuhan for free.
Shan Qihuan never expected that Shen Yuhan's paintings would have such an influence. This was only his second painting, but he had already accumulated a lot of fans and had such an effect. Moreover, his paintings had their own style, which was cute and made people feel very involved.
Shan Qihuan told Shen Yuhan the good news and did not mention the bad comments that others had made that doubted his identity. He simply blocked out any comments about him being a prodigal son or being expelled from university. He firmly believed that no matter what Shen Yuhan did, he had his own reasons.
"The painting I posted on Weibo for you was trending today."
Shen Yuhan was a little confused at first. What was the hot search? He hadn't had time to study Weibo properly.
When he didn't understand, she would respond with a smile and ask her husband with a smile: "Is it good or bad?"
Shan Qihuan thought he knew that some people suspected that his paintings were fake and that he staged the photos: "If you don't pay attention to the bad ones, then forget it. Many netizens have no manners."
Shen Yuhan nodded.
It happened that Shan Qihuan received a voice call from Liu Tan.
Shan Qihuan quickly clicked on the computer to answer the call: "Old Shan, it's finally snowing in Jiangcheng, do you want to take a hot spring bath?"
Shan Qihuan was just wondering how to present the best to Shen Yuhan, when Liu Tan offered a great idea.
"Sure. I just got back from a business trip. I can find the time and place."
"For these two days, I'll book the hot spring resort I visited last year and reserve the suite with the best view for you."
"Yes." It was the first time that Shan Qihuan found that Liu Tan was still somewhat useful. He didn't need to go to his father's side every day to show filial piety. His leg injury only needed to be healed. It wouldn't matter if he took Shen Yuhan out for a few days. The hot spring villa was booked by Liu Tan, so theoretically there should be no reporters disturbing him.
As soon as he hung up the phone, he turned around and asked Shen Yuhan's opinion: "Snowy days are suitable for hot springs. Do you want to go?"
Shen Yuhan thought, why not just take a hot spring bath
"I want to." He had no reason to refuse. In the past, his family would not let him take a bath in the hot springs because the water would affect his constitution and cause him to be unable to conceive after marriage. In previous years, his brothers and sisters could follow their father and mother to take a bath in the hot springs, but he could only stay in the house to make tea and play the piano.
Soaking in hot springs is like a spontaneous tour around the area.
Shen Yuhan didn't expect that her husband would take her out to play after the next snow.
It's not just the kind of trip where you go out for a meal and then go home right away. You have to pack your bags and stay for two nights, so you'll be more excited.
It was Shen Yuhan’s first trip and he was a little excited. In the evening he kept asking whether the water in Shan Qihuan Hot Spring was warm.
Shan Qihuan said it was warm.
Shen Yuhan asked again, "Is the hot spring far away? Can we go there earlier?"
Shan Qihuan asked him what morning he wanted.
Shen Yuhan said we will set off at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning
Shan Qihuan thought that it was impossible for him to get up at eight o'clock on days when he didn't have to go to work, so he kissed Shen Yuhan until she no longer remembered about the hot spring bath. Of course, Shen Yuhan was still a little disappointed that her husband didn't consummate their marriage today.
I heard from that nanny that men will feel uncomfortable if they don't relieve themselves. Wouldn't your husband feel uncomfortable
The next morning, the two packed up and went out.
Shen Yuhan didn't have any swimming trunks, so the two of them went to the mall to buy some. Shen Yuhan looked for a long time but couldn't make any choices.
He looked at the men's swimming trunks in surprise, which looked like a close-fitting item and were a bit messy.
Only, only pants and no top
Shan Qihuan saw that he was struggling and thought he had choice syndrome, so he just got him a pair of tights, paid the money, and then took him out.
Shen Yuhan was holding the small bag containing his swimming trunks in a conflicted manner. Was he going to follow the example of his modern generation and soak in the pool naked, face to face with foreign men
Or only face to face with your husband
When he thought about being naked with a foreign man, his face turned pale and he had no desire to take a hot spring bath at all. The excitement he had felt last night gradually dissipated.
What's the difference between meeting a strange man naked and asking him to die
Is it still too late to play the piano when I get home
With such anxiety and extremely complicated mood, Shen Yuhan didn't talk much to Shan Qihuan in the car.
The car was driving on the highway. Shan Qihuan pulled out the small table and talked about work on the computer. He did not notice anything unusual about Shen Yuhan. When he was working, he was usually very quiet and would not disturb him much.
As they got closer to the hot spring villa, Shen Yuhan's anxiety and uneasiness became more and more obvious.
If her husband knew that he was worried about this, it would easily expose his difference from his generation. If she had to share a hot spring bath with a man outside her, how could he find an excuse to get away with it
The hot spring villa is located in a mountain two hours away from Jiangcheng. Shen Yuhan saw many roadside buildings along the way. This is another kind of scenery. The clothes of the residents are not much different from those seen in the city.
Uncle Li told Shen Yuhan that the villagers here receive dividends from the government every year and their treatment is not bad. They live a happier life than the young people working in the city.
Uncle Li talked about the local customs and practices, but Shen Yuhan was not that nervous. He even saw people herding cattle and sheep. The mountains were covered with snow from last night, but the road was very smooth due to the constant flow of cars. Uncle Li was a seasoned driver, so the journey was very smooth.
The beautiful scenery is refreshing, and Shen Yuhan likes the soothing color of the snow.
When Shan Qihuan had almost finished his business, Li Shuxuan safely sent them to the hot spring villa.
The hot spring villa is located halfway up the mountain. They are the only one of them. The snow around the villa has been cleared by humans, but the snowy scene is still preserved. Bars of ice hang down from the branches, which is very beautiful.
However, Shen Yuhan lived in Qi State, so he was not too shocked to see such scenery outside in the winter. He just remembered it after seeing it.
After getting off the car, he saw the huge building complex of Hot Spring Villa. Its appearance and decoration were extremely gorgeous. People in this era really could build houses anywhere.
Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan were not the first guests to arrive here.
When they entered the lobby, there were already some people sitting in the lounge area chatting.
When they first saw Shan Qihuan coming in, the voices of everyone chatting became relatively quiet.
Shan Qihuan could indeed be seen at this time of year in previous years, but there was usually no one around him. This time he brought a young man with him whose half face was buried in a scarf. Although only half of his face was visible, one could tell from his lively eyes that he must be good-looking.
Someone came forward to greet Shan Qihuan, and Shan Qihuan simply nodded in response. He was not familiar with them and did not interact with them often, so he did not intend to introduce them to Shen Yuhan, mainly because he himself did not remember their names very well.
After checking in, Shan Qihuan took Shen Yuhan directly to the suite in the detached house.
All the staff members met along the way were wearing work clothes. Shen Yuhan was really curious about their clothes. It was quite interesting to see them wearing their ancient undergarments as work clothes.
The suite they stayed in required walking through a long corridor, but since it was in a closed room, it was not cold.
Shen Yuhan then quietly pulled his scarf down a little. He didn't like the way that man looked at him just now. He always felt that it had bad intentions, and there was also a mixed look that he didn't quite understand, which was very strange.
However, it was his first time staying in an ancient inn and it was a completely new experience. He had stayed in inns before, and although they were superior rooms, he still needed the maids to change the sheets and quilts, otherwise he would smell a damp and musty smell.
Shen Yuhan had seen in the video the hotel beds his husband made when he was on a business trip, and they were all pure white beds. He had wanted to ask her about it a long time ago, but the video time was precious at that time, so he did not mention it.
Now that he had personally experienced the inn bedroom that was decorated like a "funeral hall", he couldn't help but think of this again.
Shan Qihuan put the box down and turned around to see Shen Yuhan staring at the bed with a frown and a puzzled look on his face.
"What are you doing staring at the bed?"
Shen Yuhan pursed her lips and spoke her mind: "Husband, don't you think this bed looks like a mourning hall? Why does the hotel have to use white sheets?"
Shan Qihuan, who often stayed in the hotel, looked at Shen Yuhan, then looked at the bed, opened his mouth, and was speechless for a moment: "..."
He didn't expect that Shen Yuhan had such a different mind and was completely superstitious to the end. After he mentioned this, this pure white bed seemed uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a funeral hall.
Shan Qihuan had no choice but to pull Shen Yuhan to the window: "Look at the scenery and clear the thoughts in your mind. We still have to stay here for two nights." Can he still sleep well
The detached room in the deep mountains and forests is decorated like a mourning hall, which gives me goose bumps just thinking about it.
Shen Yuhan had no choice but to follow Shan Qihuan's instructions and sit on the chair, then looked up at him: "Don't you really think white sheets are unlucky?"
Shan Qihuan emphasized once again: "Shen Yuhan, don't be superstitious." He was asked so much that he almost felt that the hot spring villa was a scary place!
Shen Yuhan, who was full of distracting thoughts, argued: "But this is the fact."
"Anyway, you are not allowed to tell." Shan Qihuan was nearly driven crazy by him. He looked harmless, but he was always talking in a weird way.
Shen Yuhan always said directly in front of her husband: "Husband, aren't you afraid?"
Shan Qihuan said seriously: "What are you afraid of? I will teach you not to be superstitious."
"Okay." Shen Yuhan had no choice but to nod obediently. He had seen people wearing white wedding dresses at weddings on TV dramas, so he really had to adapt to the lifestyle of this generation.
And for the first time, Shan Qihuan hoped that he would not speak for the time being, as he felt a little scared when he opened his mouth.
Shen Yuhan obediently looked left and right in the suite and found a steaming hot spring pool in the room, with gurgling water and steam rising.
Can I take a hot spring bath directly in the house
He did not dare to show his joy too obviously, for fear that his husband would become suspicious and worry in vain.
In addition, there were tea leaves and snacks in the room, as well as a small refrigerator underneath, and then he saw the Coke that Qu Zhu bought when he was a police officer last time.
He took out a can and ran to Shan Qihuan: "Hubby, open it."
Although the indoor temperature is high, it is not good to drink cold drinks in winter, and this only applies to Shen Yuhan.
"No." Shan Qihuan replied, speaking the truth without being pretentious. He put the Coke back into the refrigerator, "You can't drink it. It's too cold."
Shen Yuhan remembered that one of the favorites of young people of that generation was Coke. He was just a young man in his early twenties, so he should be able to drink it. But since her husband told her not to, she would not drink it. She would wait for her husband to go to work and then buy some outside.
"Don't even think about drinking behind my back. You want to drink ice drinks when your hands and feet are cold." Shan Qihuan saw the light flashing in his eyes and knew what he might be thinking, his eyes were full of greed.
Shen Yuhan stared at the refrigerator where the Coke was stored and said regretfully, "Oh, then just don't drink it."
Shan Qihuan couldn't do anything about him, so he checked the time on his phone and said, "Come on, let's have lunch, and we can go to the hot springs in the afternoon."
Shen Yuhan followed her husband's path and said, "Hubby, I'm afraid of the cold, let's soak in the house."
Shan Qihuan nodded, thinking that he was just shy and didn't think there was anything wrong.
Shen Yuhan was secretly delighted, fortunately her husband didn't think too much about it.
As soon as the two of them went out, Shan Qihuan received a call from Liu Tan, who said that he had arrived at the villa and asked him to come out for lunch.
I've thought about being alone together, but I can't refuse this time.
"Please ask our friend who came to the hot spring to come over and have lunch with him later, okay?"
"Sure, my husband's friend is really good."
"Yes." Shan Qihuan said, "The real heart-to-heart talk is actually not enough."
"I understand. You didn't have many friends before." Shen Yuhan only had two close friends he could talk to. The others all approached him with other purposes. Either they wanted to marry his three brothers, or they wanted to find him on behalf of their brothers. Their motives were not pure. He was too lazy to make new friends, so having two close friends was enough.
Shan Qihuan really didn't know what to say about Shen Yuhan's past friends.
"It's okay to make friends again in the future." This was all he could do to comfort her.
"Yeah." Of course he did. He had no friend with whom he could confide in his generation.
When the two of them arrived at the restaurant area, Shan Qihuan suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach and had to go to the bathroom. He asked Shen Yuhan to wait there for a while.
Shen Yuhan sat on the sofa in the lounge area waiting for him.
As soon as I sat down, I saw the people I saw in the rest area when I entered the villa.
There were five people in total, three men and two women.
One of the girls said to the young man next to her, "Isn't that the boy Mr. Dan just brought? Why is he sitting there alone? He looks so pitiful. Do you want to bring him along to play?"
The young man smiled and said, "I'm not afraid that Mr. Dan will be unhappy."
The girl said, "It is said that Mr. Shan has never had true feelings for anyone. This boy cannot be in true love. Could he be from that club? Wasn't there a top student there before? He looked like this."
Young man: "Why don't we go over and ask."
Several people said yes, they were just asking.
Shen Yuhan just took out his mobile phone to search how modern people take a hot spring bath. Before he opened the webpage, he saw several people who were standing not far away come up to him and sit on the sofa next to him.
Shen Yuhan really didn't like others getting close to him for no reason, but he didn't know how to say anything.
One of the men sat next to him, only a fist's distance away.
Shen Yuhan was so scared that he stood up and didn't want to pay any attention to them.
But at this time that person spoke.
The man with permed brown curly hair suddenly grabbed the corner of his down jacket and said frivolously, "Hey, handsome boy, don't be so anxious. Tell us what Mr. Shan is like. Is he good to you? Is he really good or not? Are there any other beauties like you in your club? Introduce them to us."
Shen Yuhan frowned. This frivolous boy actually flirted with him and was so shameless!
He looked around but didn't see anyone else. He felt scared and uncomfortable. A strange man grabbed his clothes!
But at this moment, he could only pretend to be calm and said, "Let go. I don't know you."
The brown-haired man grinned with yellow teeth and said, "You'll get to know each other after sitting for a while. We just want to make friends with you."
Shen Yuhan just felt disgusted: "I don't want to make friends with you."
The man who was pulling Shen Yuhan's coat became more aggressive and wanted to grab Shen Yuhan's hand. Fortunately, Shen Yuhan quickly stepped back and avoided him!
"Please respect yourself!" Shen Yuhan was very angry. What did this guy want to do in broad daylight
The brown-haired man added: "Really, I just want to make friends. Do you want to smoke? You're as happy as a god."
Shen Yuhan's eyes darkened slightly: "Please let go."
The brown-haired man sneered, "You just came from a club, and you feel so noble after being slept with by a man? Handsome boy, you don't even give Brother Fu face? You are so shameless, why don't you just follow me, I promise you will have a good life."
Shen Yuhan's eyes turned red with anger at this man's vulgar and shameless tone. It was so disgusting!
At this time, a group of people appeared in his sight. Shen Yuhan saw that his husband was among them. His eyes immediately turned red. He struggled to break free from the brown-haired man's hand that was holding his clothes, and ran towards his husband, "Husband!"
Shan Qihuan himself couldn't bear to see Shen Yuhan suffer any injustice. As soon as he came over, he heard this man humiliating his wife with vile words all the time. Not to mention Shen Yuhan was angry, he was also very angry. He caught Shen Yuhan's hand, patted his back soothingly, then quickly walked forward and kicked the brown-haired man in the stomach.
"What the hell are you? Don't you dare touch my wife!"
The brown-haired man was kicked to the ground. The other people were frightened by this sudden kick and turned pale. They didn't dare to help the brown-haired man.
Liu Tan and his two other friends, who had just met Shan Qihuan, were suddenly startled.
When have they ever seen Shan Qihuan so angry for someone
One of the young men was so frightened that he almost lost his soul: "Boss Shan, we didn't do this on purpose..."
Shan Qihuan was invited by Liu Tan, and since he was his good friend, he naturally stood up for his friend. Liu Tan was very embarrassed. What on earth was this? "Who brought you here? Get out of the villa right now, and don't let me see you here again!"
"Liu, Mr. Liu!"
Liu Tan kicked the bastard and said, "Get lost."
Only then did these people realize that they had stirred up a hornet's nest. They, the people who were brought here, actually met the people who were treating them. There could be no worse thing than this.
The five of them tumbled and crawled away in shame, but Shen Yuhan did not slow down. Instead, she tugged at Shan Qihuan's coat and cried breathlessly in his arms, saying very sadly: "Husband, I am so dirty..."
