Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 126 I’m not doing anything else!

"This garden is so beautiful. If it is carefully tidied up, it will be no worse than the Humble Administrator's Garden!"

Look, this is the correct answer!
To be honest, ever since Cao Yukun bought the garden, he hasn't heard a single word of approval, whether it's his friends, Huang Jiaying, or of course his parents. In short, no one approves and they all think it's stupid to spend 180,000 to buy such a big abandoned garden.

Like my elder brother-in-law, he wasn't even curious, and even assumed that it was a shameful thing you did. He gave you face and didn't mention it at all - it was so hard, Song Yuqian actually liked him so much!
It covers a large area, has few rooms, is full of pavilions, towers, rocks, waterside terraces, and the spirit of gardening that changes with every step - this garden really reaches its peak - to say that it is no worse than the Humble Administrator's Garden may be a bit of an exaggeration, but it is indeed a masterpiece of Jiangnan gardens.

"I like it. I'm asking someone to help me find someone who is good at restoring this kind of ancient garden architecture. Once I find someone, I will spare no expense to repair it. Then... you can move in!"

Song Yuqian was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and her face suddenly turned red. She couldn't help but gently push him again, "You!"

She is actually a girl with a very calm and generous personality, but in recent times, especially the two most recent meetings and interactions, she gradually felt that Cao Yukun's personality had become a little bit more flamboyant, and many of the things he said were simply unbearable - of course, he was actually quite happy in his heart.

He is becoming more and more confident and more and more outspoken, but... that doesn't make girls feel disgusted.

It was too hot in the garden, so after walking around for a while and reaching the east courtyard, Cao Yukun took her into the room.

At least the room here has air conditioning. The two of them sat in the air-conditioned room, holding a cup of tea, enjoying the cool breeze, and chatting. It was quite comfortable and relaxing.

During this time, Cao Yukun asked her to sit over and held her on his lap. The two of them cuddled for a while. She didn't seem to be very resistant, but when his hand was about to reach inside, she blushed as usual and stopped him, "My mother said that if a girl is touched here, she can't stop herself from doing that later... I still have to... go to college... I can't do it so early..."

"You can stop me! I just touched it, I didn't do anything else!"

I forced my way through her hands and finally got it in my hands.

It feels great in the hand.

Her face flushed with shame, and she felt as if she dared not open her eyes. She lay on Cao Yukun's shoulder, not daring to move, allowing Cao Yukun to rub her flat and round. After a while, she finally dared to sit up in his arms, with a shy and innocent face, "You have become more and more rogue recently!"

Indeed, Cao Yukun himself felt that he was becoming more and more of a rogue.

Even if he himself didn't think so, from Hu Zihong to Wang Tingfang to Huang Jiaying, they all reminded him. On the contrary, the two big stars of Hongkong never said this - he said: "I am a little hooligan! Smoking, drinking, fighting, and touching are my job!"

She was so ashamed that she clenched her fists and hit him, and struggled to run away - for her, especially in this era, considering her age, and the protection that Song Hongxing and Song Yuhuai had given her over the years, the crude and dirty words that came out of Cao Yukun's mouth were really too much for her to bear.

So Cao Yukun quickly let go, withdrew, coaxed her for a while, and after a few minutes, he touched her again - this time she understood, you can touch me, don't say anything, if you don't say it, although she blushed, she could pretend not to know.

They stayed like this for more than an hour.

Later, she kept sitting on Cao Yukun's lap while they talked. It wasn't just because of the touching, but she seemed to be able to sense the presence of something, so the blush on her face seemed to never fade away.

Fortunately, Cao Yukun had some idea in his mind and didn't take the matter seriously.

Time doesn't allow it.

He still remembered that he had once again promised to treat Zhao Xiaolan to a meal - he had agreed last time, and now it has been delayed for more than a month. He definitely cannot delay it any longer this time, otherwise he seems to be resisting having dinner with Zhao Xiaolan.

So, even if Song Yuqian got herself confused and carried her to bed without knowing what was going on, you had to comfort her and stay with her after the incident? You could leave her out for dinner and go have dinner with someone else?

So when it was almost five o'clock, Cao Yukun had touched her enough and finally stopped and let her go.

She then stood up with a blushing face, turned her back to straighten her clothes, especially her skirt which was already wrinkled, and then went out together with Cao Yukun.

After she got in the car and drove out of the county and onto the provincial road, she seemed to gradually recover and was able to talk and laugh with Cao Yukun normally again.

When the car had passed the beverage factory and the winery and was about to enter their village, she suddenly said, "Then why don't you pick me up tomorrow? Are you busy tomorrow? I also want to walk around this garden."

tsk...

Honestly speaking, after hearing this, Cao Yukun was stunned for a moment and couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

Turning his head to look at her, he didn't see anything unusual on her face, but the way her eyes avoided him made Cao Yukun understand something at once - baby, do you like this garden, or do you like sitting on my lap? Or do you like... "Okay! What can I do? Then I will pick you up tomorrow morning. We won't have dinner at your house. Let's find a restaurant in the city for lunch. How about that?"

She smiled sweetly, and at this moment, her face began to turn red unconsciously.

"okay!"

…………

In the evening, Zhao Xiaolan and I found a slightly upscale restaurant in the county and asked for a private room.

Cao Yukun felt that she was too familiar with the restaurant in the guesthouse and everyone there knew her. To be honest, it was not a good thing for her reputation as a woman to go to a formal banquet that was not an official reception and have dinner alone with a young man. She seemed to think so too and did not want anyone to know.

Enjoyed talking.

This time, Cao Yukun checked in some foreign liquors from Hong Kong, such as brandy and whiskey. They are not expensive to buy in Hong Kong, and if you bring them back as gifts, these liquors are relatively rare in the mainland at this time, so the gifts seem to be more upscale. This time when he had dinner with her, Cao Yukun specially brought a bottle of Martell XO.

She was very happy and was not afraid of the cup.

He had known for a long time that she could drink a lot, and Cao Yukun thought he could drink pretty well too, so a bottle of XO was considered two kilograms, and the two of them drank together, and they didn't think it was a big deal.

Sure enough, as we ate, drank and chatted, the wine was gone before we finished the meal.

This stuff is only 40 degrees and tastes quite sweet, soft and refreshing. In fact, neither of them took it too seriously.

Because we really had a great conversation.

In the past, Zhao Xiaolan only knew that Cao Yukun was a small-time gangster who was recognized for his good looks. Later, she learned that he had become rich and became the so-called "General Kun". Then she learned that he actually revitalized the beverage factory and reportedly sold the products directly to Hongkong...

In short, everyone knew about this series of amazing deeds, and they had come into contact with each other many times in daily life, but this was the first time that two people really sat down and had an in-depth chat.

You wouldn't have known until you talked about it. Listening to him talk about his ideas, his prospects for the development of private enterprises in the county, his comments on Hongkong, and extending from that to his subsequent considerations on the beverage factory, Zhao Xiaolan was really surprised - even though she knew that he had already made amazing achievements before, listening to him talk at this time, she still had such a strong feeling: Even if this guy didn't make a fortune in the beverage business, he would make a fortune sooner or later if he did something else!

His interpretation and insights on many things even made me, the director of the county government office who has been in contact with and analyzing domestic policies for many years, feel as if I had suddenly realized something!
So, as you can imagine, the wine would inevitably flow faster!

After dinner, Cao Yukun paid the bill and they came out. He said he would take Zhao Xiaolan back to the guesthouse, but Zhao Xiaolan laughed dumbly, "I haven't lived in a guesthouse for a long time! I haven't lived in the family compound either! I just rented a small courtyard in the county, it's pretty good! It's not far from here, I can walk there!"

Cao Yukun had some wine on him, so his mind wasn't as sharp as usual. He didn't think much about it and said casually, "Then I'll walk you a few steps, and when you get home, I'll come back and drive!"

Zhao Xiaolan did not object, so the two of them walked and talked, and before they knew it, they had reached the north of the city.

Seeing his own garden in front of him, Cao Yukun was a little confused. At this moment, Zhao Xiaolan turned around, looked at Cao Yukun mischievously, and pointed at him, "You bought it, right? 180,000?...Haha, what's so surprising about this! It's spread all over the county! Most people may not know it's you, but I know it's you as soon as I hear it!"

Cao Yukun laughed.

Then he laughed at himself, "It seems that I have really become the number one sucker in our county!"

Zhao Xiaolan burst into laughter when she heard this.

Cao Yukun didn't take it as an offense - at some point, he suddenly felt a little drunk, especially when the night breeze blew so gently, he felt a little confused. At this time, he saw that Zhao Xiaolan seemed a little bit abnormal, her steps were a little unsteady, and her movements and laughter were not as dignified and restrained as she normally was.

They passed by the garden all the way, but Zhao Xiaolan stopped at the next gate and said, "I've taken you to the place. This is the yard I rented!"

Cao Yukun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously exclaimed "Oh shit!"
Zhao Xiaolan didn't seem to think there was anything wrong. As she walked towards the gate, she turned back and waved at Cao Yukun, "Go back and drive your car! I'm going home!"

"Um... Sister Xiaolan, why don't you let me come in and sit for a while? I haven't even seen this yard before... It's mine, I bought it!"

"what?"
