Chapter 67 Taking Care of Red Bean

Lin Yang placed Xu Hongdou by the stone table in the courtyard and let her sit down. After resting for a while, he carried her upstairs after Aunt Gui finished tidying up the courtyard and left.

"Rest well and don't move around! Call me if you need anything. I'll bring you dinner later when I've made it. Don't go down unless it's absolutely necessary."

Lin Yang opened the door to room number six and put Xu Hongdou down.

"It's okay, I just twisted my ankle, it's not like I can't walk or move at all," Xu Hongdou said.

"Don't take this lightly, try to walk as little as possible," Lin Yang said, noticing a large photo frame covered with pictures on the wall, and walked over out of curiosity.

Some of the photos were taken by him for Xu Hongdou, and some were even of himself. Almost every photo had a sentence written on it.

Lin Yang saw Xu Hongdou's words on a photo of himself carving wood: "He looks very focused when he's carving..."

'

"Xu Hongdou, you actually took pictures of me without my permission?" Lin Yang couldn't help but ask as he turned to look at her.

"Who...who took pictures of you without my permission?" Xu Hongdou asked, sounding a little guilty.

"Okay! I'll take your decision as taking the photos openly and honestly. You can take photos openly and honestly from now on. We should take photos together from now on, like this."

Lin Yang walked over and took a picture of himself and Xu Hongdou with his phone: "I'll send it to you later. This is our first photo together! We'll put it in the most prominent place on the photo wall."

Xu Hongdou was both amused and exasperated, rolling her eyes at him and saying, "Are you sober now? Go back and get some rest!"

"I've sweated a bit, I feel much better," Lin Yang said, adding, "Then I'll go back and take a shower. By the way, if you're going to shower, don't stand for too long. If you really can't stand, bring a plastic stool to sit on while you shower..."

"Alright, I understand," Xu Hongdou said, blushing and glancing helplessly at Lin Yang.

After Lin Yang left, Xu Hongdou lay down on the bed, curled up, and picked up her phone to look at a photo of herself and her best friend Chen Nanxing: "Nanxing, did you arrange for him to appear in my world? Are you deliberately trying to tease me?"

Xu Hongdou really saw the shadow of Chen Nanxing in Lin Yang, who was carefree and easygoing.

Nanxing was such a good person, but he died of a terminal illness. Just thinking about it makes Xu Hongdou so sad and heartbroken that she can hardly breathe.

It was precisely because Chen Nanxing wanted to travel to Yunnan that she chose to come here to fulfill her best friend's wish.

Lin Yang went back to his room and took a shower. He wanted to sleep, but he was still a little drunk and couldn't fall asleep. Every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was Xu Hongdou's image.

In a daze, half asleep and half asleep, Lin Yang finally got out of bed after what seemed like an eternity of drunkenness.

Seeing that it was only a little past four o'clock, Lin Yang sent a message to Xu Hongdou. When she didn't reply, he guessed that she was probably asleep, so he didn't bother her anymore.

Around 5:30, Lin Yang went upstairs, knocked on the door and asked Xu Hongdou what she wanted to eat. Then he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner and brought it to Xu Hongdou's room.

"Mmm, this sweet and sour pork ribs is really appetizing," Xu Hongdou said, enjoying the pork ribs with rice.

"I didn't have time to buy pig's trotters today, so I'll make you pig's trotter soup tomorrow!" Lin Yang said with a smile, "We'll use the principle of 'like cures like,' supplementing what you lack."

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes at Lin Yang: "Braised pig's trotters taste better, and they're good for replenishing collagen."

"Hmm, you don't need to supplement with collagen anymore," Lin Yang said with a smile, looking at Xu Hongdou's fair and delicate face full of collagen.

Upon hearing this, Xu Hongdou, her pretty face slightly flushed, smiled and drank some more egg drop soup before feeling full.

Seeing that there was still a lot of rice, sweet and sour pork ribs, and egg drop soup left, Lin Yang took the bowl over and started eating with his chopsticks.

"I've used these bowls and chopsticks," Xu Hongdou couldn't help but say.

"It's okay, I don't mind," Lin Yang said with a smile.

Xu Hongdou, her beautiful eyes slightly wide as she looked at Lin Yang, was both amused and exasperated: "Go eat outside!"

"Let's go after we finish eating," Lin Yang said quickly.

"Then I'll go out," Xu Hongdou said, getting up to leave.

"Fine, fine, I'm leaving!" Lin Yang said, picking up his things and leaving. "Seriously, did I say anything when I ate your leftovers?"

She even started to look down on me.

Watching Lin Yang leave, Xu Hongdou put her hand to her forehead, unsure of what to say. Then, she shook her head, smiled, and frowned as she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash up.

As Lin Yang was carrying his things downstairs, he ran into Master Ma, Da Mai, and Nana, who were returning from outside.

"What's going on? Lin Yang, you actually came out of Hongdou's room. What did you two do while we were all gone?" Nana stared wide-eyed, her face full of gossip and amusement.

"Yeah, they're still eating upstairs. What happened to Hongdou?" Dama also showed a gossipy look.

Even Master Ma, who was standing to the side, looked at Lin Yang with a smile on his face, as if he had just gotten the juicy gossip.

"What are you thinking about? Hongdou twisted her ankle..." Lin Yang quickly explained.

"Twisted your ankle? Are you guys playing that intensely?" Nana asked with a mischievous grin, her beautiful eyes wide.

"What are we playing?" Da Mai asked, slightly bewildered, before realizing what was happening and blushing instantly.

Lin Yang rolled his eyes in exasperation, too lazy to explain anything further, and simply took the food to the kitchen.

Nana and Master Ma followed curiously, standing by the dining table and watching Lin Yang continue eating, as if they were about to conduct a joint interrogation.

"You three came back from the restaurant. Don't tell me I need to cook dinner for you," Lin Yang said, glancing at them.

"We've already eaten and are back," Nana said with a smile, sitting down and adding, "Now, all we want to know is, how far have things progressed between you and Hongdou?"

Da Mai couldn't help but ask, "Are you two really together?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Master Ma laughed.

"Master Ma, you don't seem to be married yet, do you? Don't talk like you know everything," Lin Yang rolled his eyes at Master Ma.

Master Ma paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "I may not be married, but that doesn't mean I don't know anything! In any case, I'm a few years older than you all, and I've seen more than you've ever had rice."

"How many relationships have you been in?" Lin Yang asked with a smile, watching Master Ma toss his hair as he spoke.

"This...this doesn't need to be so detailed, does it?" Master Ma said somewhat guiltily.

"Is that a small detail? I haven't even asked you how many women you've slept with..." Before Lin Yang could finish speaking, Master Ma glared at him and stepped forward to cover his mouth.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore. Don't delay my meal, the soup is getting cold," Lin Yang said, trying to avoid the question.

Master Ma was a little embarrassed, while Nana, who couldn't help but blush, said repeatedly, "Lin Yang, don't change the subject!"

We were talking about you and Hongdou!

"Hey, why are you guys so gossipy? If you're curious, go and date someone yourself! I just kissed Hongdou on the way back... and then I carried her back on my back," Lin Yang said helplessly.

"You two kissed?" Da Mai asked excitedly.

Nana couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "He carried you back? How romantic!"

"Lin Yang, you have amazing strength," Master Ma said, already somewhat surprised and impressed by Lin Yang.

"What do you mean? Mr. Ma, are you saying that the red beans are heavy?" Nana asked, turning her head.

Da Mai also looked at Ma Ye; girls are always very sensitive about their weight.

"I...I didn't! Um, I'm going to make some tea! You guys can chat all you want," Master Ma said, quickly making an excuse to leave while he was making tea.

Seeing this, Nana and Damai exchanged a smile, and Lin Yang shook his head and smiled as he continued eating, while asking them, "Would you like some more?"

"No need, we'll go back and rest first," Nana shook her head and smiled, and Damai quickly added, "I also need to go back and write."
