Future

After that, they went to the bathroom to wash up.

Yu Huan touched the minor stubble on Gao Yan’s lips and said, “It’s time for you to shave. You stabbed me when you kissed me.”

“Okay.” Gao Yan nodded in agreement. “Help me shave.”

Yu Huan helped Gao Yan shave.

She applied shaving cream to his chin first.

She used her finger to move around his face, and soon created a layer of dense foam.

Gao Yan obediently lowered his head and let her do what she wanted. His hair, which did not have any product in it, naturally hung down on his forehead and he had a rare soft expression.

Yu Huan stared at his beautiful jawline and for some reason she thought of that memory where he sent her home in high school.

It was stormy that day. She had snuck in at a glance in the dark car.  She never thought that they would have this relationship later, and how they could be so close.

As Yu Huan smeared foam on his face, she started smiling.

Gao Yan glanced down and asked her, “What are you thinking about that’s making you so happy?”

Yu Huan replied, “Don’t talk, I’m about to start.”

She looked up closely at his face. The first shave landed on the side of his lips.

She was shaving someone’s facial hair for the first time, and she shaved off the first layer of white foam steadily.

Yu Huan looked at the bare white skin with satisfaction and said, “Pinch your lips.”

Then she continued to shave the other areas.

She shaved the foam around the lip from top to bottom, and then reversed the direction to scrape off the residual stubble.

Yu Huan straightened up and carefully grabbed Gao Yan’s chin to rotate him.

She could hardly take a breath.

The way she was doing it so seriously made Gao Yan feel dazed. It was as if he was watching her concentrate with her head down studying all those years ago—until the hot breath on his face began to disappear.

Yu Huan wiped off all the remaining foam on his face with a hot towel and said, “Done.”

He looked in the mirror.

“Did I do a clean shave?” Yu Huan rubbed his smooth cheeks with her fingers.

“Let’s find out.” Gao Yan looked at her.

Then he held her hand and lowered his head to kiss her. He rubbed his chin against her chin, cheeks, and ears…

They did it in the bathroom, and it was nearly noon before they changed their clothes and went out.

They found a place to have lunch. Afterwards, they went to the movies.

The love between an older couple did not have a lot of drama.

Amusement parks, murder mysteries, laser tag… were not suitable for them. Thus, they could only go eat and watch movies.

Yu Huan happened to be interested in one of the movies released recently, so Gao Yan bought tickets for it.

After watching the movie for half an hour, Yu Huan realized that the film was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

She became bored. She heard her phone vibrate and it was a message from Chen Yilin. He asked her if she was cooking today and he said he wanted to go grab some food with her.

Yu Huan rarely cooked, so she could hardly resist taking a few photos and putting them on Moments yesterday.

Although she only photographed the dishes, Chen Yilin recognized that it was at his uncle’s house through the marble table.

Chen Yilin wrote a private message to her and asked her for an answer.

Yu Huan had to admit it, and now Chen Yilin had sent a message saying he wanted to grab a meal.

“Let’s have dinner with Yilin tonight.” Yu Huan showed Gao Yan the text message.

Gao Yu had announced in front of everyone that she was his girlfriend. So, Chen Yilin also knew about them.

Later she was very busy. Yu Huan could only give a simple explanation of what happened. She didn’t know if Chen Yilin had asked Gao Yan about it, or how Gao Yan answered.

Chen Yilin was Gao Yan’s nephew, and Yu Huan feot that it was appropriate for them to have a meal together. It was to also let him know how they were doing as a couple.

Yu Huan told Gao Yan about what she was thinking.

“Okay.” Gao Yan nodded, but he had already meant it

“Eat at home?”

“…”Yu Huan could sense that he wasn’t too happy. “What do you think?”

“Only if you don’t mind the trouble, it’s just a meal.”

Gao Yan: “Then tell him to come over later and we will have dinner together tonight.”

“Okay,” Yu Huan said. She looked down and began to reply with the plans.

Gao Yan glanced over and saw Yu Huan send a cute sticker.

He couldn’t help frowning.

“What did you say Yilin likes to eat?” Yu Huan asked after sending the message.

Gao Yan pretty much blurted out, “You’re really kind to him.”

The tone of his voice had unmistakable jealousy.

“Because he’s your nephew,” Yu Huan defended.

The moment she spoke, she remembered that moment when Chen Yilin first came to the law firm.

At that time, she only regarded Gao Yan as a fuck buddy. Although she had some feelings for him, she had been suppressing it and was unwilling to admit it.

She and Gao Yan were just helping each other with their needs, and there was absolutely no need for her to take care of Chen Yilin because of this relationship.

Like when she worked overtime to help him clean up the mess, or when he was sick, she made him soup, or even when she took him on a business trip.

She was indeed very kind to him, as Gao Yan said.

After watching the movie, Yu Huan and Gao Yan took the elevator to the supermarket on the first floor of the shopping mall.

Yu Huan had asked Gao Yan what Chen Yilin liked to eat, but Gao Yan didn’t say anything. So Yu Huan asked Chen Yilin herself.

She carefully selected the ingredients based on the general preferences Chen Yilin gave her.

Gao Yan pushed the cart and said, “Just cook something you like. Don’t get too used to cooking for him.”

It was the same jealous tone from the movies.

Yu Huan smiled and asked, “Do you know why I treat Chen Yilin so well?”

“Is it because he is my nephew?” Gao Yan raised his eyebrow.

Yu Huan shook her head and said, “I thought about it for a while, but it’s not like that.”

It’s not like that?

Gao Yan suddenly hesitated and turned his head to look straight at Yu Huan.

Yu Huan continued, “I treat Chen Yilin well because he looks like you.”

Gao Yan: “?”

Yu Huan looked up at him and said, “I’m from the same high school as you. I don’t know if you remember, but in our first year of high school, our math teacher, Mr. Jiang, once asked you to take me home.”

Of course, I remember, Gao Yan said in his mind.

Yu Huan didn’t wait for him to answer. She lowered her head again and picked out more ingredients. She said, “’I probably liked you a bit back then.”

“I always remember how you looked in high school, but then I met you four years ago…” she said. “In between those years, I don’t know what you looked like. But Chen Yilin just graduated this year…”

“I’ve just been thinking for a long time during the movies, and maybe I can’t help but be nice to Chen Yilin because I want to be a part of those years during college and after you graduated. But I can’t. And you and Chen Yilin don’t even have a lot in common except for your looks.”

Yu Huan was honest to Gao Yan, which was also her confession.

She looked up at his reaction. He was slightly stunned, and then reached out to take her by her hand.

He held it tightly, and just as she thought he was going to say something, he looked down at his watch and said, “It’s only 3:30 now, there’s still time. Shall we go shopping later?”

Yu Huan: “Huh?”

This is his answer?

From me telling him that I had a crush on him in high school?

He just asked me if I wanted to go shopping?

Are his ex girlfriends fond of shopping?

He’s so rich, so it must be nice to just swipe his card…

When they want him to spend money on them, they always say something nice.

He thought I was saying nice things, right?

Yu Huan’s mind was in a mess, and when she thought of Gao Yan’s ex girlfriends, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Her expression dropped.

“Don’t you want to go?” Gao Yan asked, “I said let’s go shopping later, okay?”

Yu Huan asked angrily, “Buy what?” Buy a bag? How many are you going to buy me?

“Didn’t you say yesterday that the sheets were too slippery? Let’s change them for ones that you like, as well as the things in the kitchen and your study…” Gao Yan listed, “Since we want to live together, it should be the things you like?”

Yu Huan: “…”

She stared at Gao Yan blankly and suddenly felt a bit funny about what she was thinking just now.

Which girl had never been there before?

But there was a future between them.

She grabbed Gao Yan’s hand with hers and said, “Let’s go back after buying the groceries.”

“One hour won’t be enough to do the things you say. Let’s buy those things slowly in the future,” she said.

The word “future” came out of her mouth like a pleasant surprise.

“Okay,” Gao Yan nodded.

Anyway, the future was a long time.

The author has something to say

It’s over, huh.
