The Three-Life Stone

Chapter 113 Tong Yu

Yu Le returned home and comforted his mother with sweet words. Seeing that his mother was still pretending to be heartbroken, he looked at Shen Xingzhi for help. His eyes seemed to say: I'm going to chase my wife, you should take care of your wife.

Shen Xingzhi watched the news broadcast with an unconcealable smile on his face. Yu Zhaozhao looked smugly at his son who had sought help in vain, secretly rejoicing in his heart.

After a few seconds, she finally couldn't hold back her laughter and said, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. You've been in the army for so many years and it's only natural for you to come back and consolidate your relationship. Don't worry about me. I have Old Shen."

Just as the news broadcast was over, Shen Xingzhi stood up and said, "Yu Zhaozhao, why am I old? Are you disgusted by me?"

Yu Zhaozhao coughed twice and said, "The child is here, don't mess around, he is still an innocent little boy."

"That will be soon. Even if he knows what's going on, he won't be able to do anything when he returns to the army facing a bunch of men. We don't mind informing him of a few moves in advance."

Yu Le looked at the two people bickering, fled the battlefield and hid in the room, opened the message, and found that the person who pinned the message had sent several messages.

Sui Rou: Are you there yet?

Sui Rou: Did Auntie say anything?

Sui Rou: Does Auntie have a bad impression of me?

Sui Rou: Come on, spend some time with your aunt for the next few days.

Yu Le: Baby, I arrived a long time ago. I was carrying the luggage and it was difficult to take the phone with me. My mother didn’t say anything after I came back. She also asked me when I would bring you back. My mother is very, very satisfied with you, so you can rest assured.

Sui Rou: Hehehe, then you better try your best to take me home as soon as possible.

There is another message on Yu Le’s message interface.

Meng Nan: Are you free these days? Let's have a meal together?

Yu Le: I’m free recently, just call me when you set the time and place.

Yu Le didn't know anyone else at the party except Tong Yu. Meng Nan was dressed more formally, while Chu Xuan wore a red modified cheongsam with a plum blossom hairpin in her hair.

In the crowd, Meng Nan and Chu Xuan introduced themselves to the people around them as if they were taking an oath.

"I'm Meng Nan."

"I'm Chu Xuan."

The two of them spoke almost at the same time: "At this moment, please all the leaders, colleagues and classmates present here to bear witness. We both got our marriage certificate half a month ago and officially started working."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was applause all around, and several people began to reach into their pockets for their wallets.

"We called everyone here today not because we want to collect any money. We are not planning to hold a wedding, but we just want to invite some good friends and colleagues we often meet to get together, have some food and drink some wine, and let everyone know. If anyone insists on giving money today, it would be disrespecting me, Meng Nan."

After hearing this, some people at the scene visibly relaxed, but others still quietly took out their mobile phones and started transferring money.

The newlyweds did not hold a grand wedding in the traditional sense. Instead, they chose to go on their honeymoon and take wedding photos along the way, using this special and romantic way to record their happy moments together.

For nearly two years, they have been on the road. Chu Xuan carefully edited the videos she took along the way and posted them on an account called "Chu Chu Wei Nan". They also sorted out these experiences in detail and made them into practical travel guides, including necessary precautions, check-in spots worth visiting, and minefields to avoid.

After nearly two years of wandering, they decided to settle down and came to the city they had longed to visit - Dali, Yunnan.

In Dali, they rented a cozy homestay. In the first year of living in Dali, the two of them were a bit busy. Only when they were enjoying the beautiful scenery on the road and enjoying the rare vacation could they feel the leisure and comfort.

Every morning, the warm sunlight shines through the olive trees onto the ground. The two stretch themselves in front of the mirror, brush their teeth and wash their faces, and then enjoy the crispy bread slices baked in the toaster with a cup of hot milk. Then they will ride their bicycles to their respective jobs.

What they love to do most is to ride their bicycles leisurely along the winding ecological corridor along the Erhai Lake, facing the rising sun and witnessing thousands of seagulls flying in the vast sky. The sky painted red by dye reflects a colorful orange-red ocean, making people feel like they are in a dream.

Climb to the top of the majestic Cangshan Mountain, overlook the endless, rolling mountains, and enjoy the beautiful clouds that are like those in cartoons. When you take the cable car slowly down the mountain, you can once again enjoy the charming scenery along the way. Arrive at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, set up the canopy, build the tent, and enjoy a unique camping trip.

Time flies, and nearly two years have passed in the blink of an eye. The days gradually became leisurely and slow, and Chu Xuan's belly was swelling day by day. She bought some books on parenting, and while learning prenatal education and parenting, she also started to learn pregnancy yoga according to the tutorial. The psychological trauma left over from many years ago is slowly healing.

Tong Yu met Mo Han by chance, and he had mixed feelings. He knew that Mo Han's love life after graduation was quite tortuous, and she dated several boyfriends, and all of them were from wealthy families. In the end, she married a typical tall, rich and handsome man.

Looking back, Meng Nan seemed a little different. His financial conditions were indeed a little inferior. Tong Yu originally planned to tell Meng Nan about Mo Han's past years and the news of his marriage, but then he thought that this would not change anything or explain anything, so he let the past be the past.

Tong Yu's life is full of drama. In the past five years when he spent time with his girlfriend Xiaoyan, under Xiaoyan's urging, he bought gifts to build good relationships with his superiors.

He has been working hard and making progress, just to give her a better life. From a fresh newcomer to a manager, in order to build a warm home with Xiaoyan, he has devoted himself to work, not only to cope with heavy business pressure, but also to skillfully deal with the complex drinking culture and maintain good relationships with customers.

After such a desperate struggle, Tong Yu finally got what he wanted and bought a house in Kunming. Although he had to pay the mortgage, at least he had a three-bedroom apartment for the two of them, and it was not far from where Meng Nan and his wife lived, so they could get together in their spare time. The hard work along the way was worth it.

However, fate likes to play tricks on people. Who could have expected that upon returning from an ordinary business trip, Tong Yu would witness such a heartbreaking scene.

He wanted to go to the bathroom, but when he opened the door, he was surprised to see Xiaoyan and her bestie standing there in dishevelled clothes. What made him even more dumbfounded was that after opening the toilet door, he discovered that there was actually a good friend of his inside!

Just as the toilet door opened, a mop stick came towards him and hit him hard on the head. This blow not only dispelled all his urge to defecate, but also completely shattered the possibility of his future with Xiaoyan.

In the following years, he became increasingly disillusioned with love, and as time passed, the resentment in his heart was gradually soothed. When he recalled that past event again, he could tell it lightly as if it were an interesting story, and even felt grateful.

If she hadn't despised his meager salary back then, he might not have been able to take this path now, let alone buy his own house.

Tong Yu is most frustrated that people of his age are getting married. Whenever he returns home, the nagging of his elders lingers in his ears. He always makes excuses such as having to pay off the mortgage and need to work overtime, even Meng Nan...

Even Meng Nan, that brat, would use "single dog" to shut him up whenever he couldn't win an argument.

Whenever she failed in a picture battle with him, she would always send out an emoticon of "single dog" without hesitation; and every time she was at a disadvantage in an argument, she would quietly turn around and walk into the kitchen to help Chu Xuan wash the vegetables and dishes... After doing all this, when she looked back at him, her eyes seemed full of ridicule, as if saying: As a "single dog", how can you understand the joy of someone else cooking for you.

But he really wants to say that being single is really happy. It's a feeling of freedom and freedom. Without a partner to restrict you, you can pursue your dreams and goals without any constraints. You can arrange your time and life rhythm exactly as you like, and you won't be affected by any inexplicable emotions.

When spring comes, if you are lucky enough to go on a business trip to the foggy city of Chongqing, you can not only witness the charming grace of local girls, but also stroll on the unique steps of the mountain city; if you need to go on a business trip to Beijing around the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can appreciate the enthusiasm and generosity of the people of the capital; if you have the opportunity to visit Chengdu in late autumn, you can also enjoy the short but extremely pleasant leisure time.

Some may wonder why summer and winter are not mentioned...

It may be because the summer is too hot and the winter is too cold, which is just right here in Kunming. But this job is not so comfortable at all. He is always on the road all year round. Sihai Hotel is his wandering home. As a wanderer, he does not want to get married for the time being.
