Chapter 49: Cheng Guan

Rebirth of the Golden Marriage

Author: Kun Cheng Xiong Mao


Chapter 48TitleChapter 50


Amused Landlord, Xu Nuo, had always wanted to find a chance to meet Lin Yu Tong, because first, he wanted advice from Lin Yu Tong on how he could type so fast, because he had heard Lin Yu Tong say before that it was not impossible for the speed of coding to improve; second, he wanted to ask Lin Yu Tong some questions about his writing skills. Although he himself had made a small achievement in Jin Fan, he was still a little bit worse than Lin Yu Tong, so maybe after they chatted in person, he thought that he may receive some goods.

Lin Yu Tong had plans to go out for a breather, so this was perfect, he thought that it was good to go find Xu Nuo and play for a few days, anyway, it would be a waste of effort to hide in his parents place just to be caught to go back home by Zhan Yi Fei, so he might as well go farther.

Although the city where Xu Nuo lived was not very well-known in the country, there were still several good tourist attraction sites, and the weather was just right to go there in this season.

After giving Xu Nuo a heads up, Lin Yu Tong called out in a loud voice: “Gao Wen Liang, someone?”

Gao Wen Liang had a handful of pistachios and appeared from the second floor with Da Kuan, “What is it?”

“I want to go out, I’m planning to visit one of my author friends. He and I write novels together, he’s the author who wrote “The Blade of the Sea God” called ‘Amused Landlord’, you know him right? I recommended Brother Xiang to read his book a couple of days ago.”

“Yes, is he also in the city?”

“No, I’m going to K City, will you come?” It would be a problem if he goes out alone and encounter trouble, so he didn’t intend to sneak away.

“It’s not impossible to go out for a while, but you really will have to call me ‘brother’ in the future, you know, I’m still somehow older than you, and why do you call both Lao Xiang and Chu Tian Yi brother while only me by my name?”

“I just think of you as more like a friend, but if you want me to change the way I call you that’s fine.” Anyway, calling him “brother” or something, he didn’t want to think about it so much. Gao Wen Liang was no more than twenty-five or twenty-six, he was not as old as him in his previous life, while Lao Xiang and Chu Tian Yi were older than him in his two lives so he called them “brother”.

“What should I change it to?” Gao Wen Liang asked curiously.

“…Da Kuan’s mother?”

“No way!” Gao Wen Liang had just finished speaking, when Da Kuan who heard its name rushed over and jumped on him, “Woof!”

Lin Yu Tong laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, so after they were done eating, he started to pack up. Gao Wen Liang saw this and also tidied up, on one hand, he had the responsibility to protect Lin Yu Tong, and on the other hand, he also wanted to try the so-called absence makes the heart grow fonder kind of thing.

Since that day when Lin Yu Tong was rescued from Old Yu’s gang, he and Xiang Jun had not been separated for more than a day, so he wondered if Xiang Jun would take the initiative to call him after a long time of separation.

The two secretly drove out, but before leaving, Lin Yu Tong left Zhan Yi Fei a note saying he was running away from home, and also attached their place of destination and the date of his return.

Tomb-Sweeping Day was coming soon, and Lin Yu Tong still remembered that they needed to visit Zhan Yi Fei’s mother, so he would be back in at most three to five days.

When Zhan Yi Fei came back from work, he couldn’t chase him after seeing the note, but only tell Lin Yu Tong to enjoy and not forget to be careful, he also incidentally told Lin Yu Tong that the clothes for their wedding had already been designed, and that he had seen the pictures today, there were a lot of styles to choose from so he would wait for Lin Yu Tong to come back to pick one. The implication was, not to play for too long!

Lin Yu Tong hummed a sound of agreement, and lastly told Zhan Yi Fei, “You should work hard to grow your hair while I’m away, you hear me?”

“If you keep bringing this up you won’t be able to leave okay?” Zhan Yi Fei feigned anger.

“En, mwah, remember not to make yourself too tired.” Lin Yu Tong directly hung up after he finished, and with that Gao Wen Liang despised him.

“How convenient do you think it is to take the bullet train? But you’re saying that your friend told you that we should go there by car, and drive there by yourself.” Gao Wen Liang felt that Lin Yu Tong was looking for trouble where there was none, because if not then they could’ve just asked someone to pick them up from the train station, so why put themselves at a loss in that unfamiliar place!

“You don’t know how much Zhan Yi Fei values our first times, so this first time to ride a train together I have to save it for him.” Lin Yu Tong wasn’t embarrassed to say that he was already a little used to Zhan Yi Fei’s habit, so he would subconsciously remember the things that they haven’t done together yet and save them, then when they’ve finally done them together, he would also keep them in his memories.

“Impressive, don’t tell me that when you two did it for the first time, you placed a handkerchief under your ass1!”

“F–k! Stop teasing, how could that be possible?” Lin Yu Tong almost hit a trash can with the car. He already knew before what kind of mouth Gao Wen Liang had, but it seemed that this was the first time he had said such a straightforward and blunt remark, and it really stunned him.

Gao Wen Liang looked at Lin Yu Tong’s embarrassed appearance and smiled heartlessly, then finally after passing by a square, they finally figured out where to go.

The two went to find a reliable hotel chain, and after booking the rooms, they waited in the hotel lobby for Xu Nuo.

“Aren’t you afraid of meeting a wretched man or something later?” Gao Wen Liang was bored and opened his mouth again.

“When I met you, didn’t I also hit you, so what would I be afraid of? Besides, he knows that I am married.” Lin Yu Tong said to himself that in his last life he knew that Amused Landlord had a vicious and delicate mouth, but the person himself was very reliable, so there was no possibility of him being wretched or being cheated.

“Among those people who attacked me, your Brother Xiang is the only one who still has his four limbs.” Gao Wen Liang said arrogantly, then when he saw a man wearing glasses enter the door, he asked Lin Yu Tong, “Is that the person?”

“Yes, that’s him.” Lin Yu Tong got up, “Lao Cai, over here!”

Xu Nuo seemed to have been in a hurry, the weather wasn’t hot, but it surprised him that he was sweating, he walked over and stretched out his hand with uncertainty, “Tong-zi? I say, you’re too young!”

Didn’t you say you were married? Why do you still look like a student?!

“I am 21 this year.”

“Damn, you got married so early?” Xu Nuo glanced at Gao Wen Liang, whose gaze stayed on him, “Then this is your other half?” Lin Yu Tong said that he would bring a friend with him when he came.

“No, this is my buddy, Gao Wen Liang.”

“Hello.” Gao Wen Liang stretched out his hand and shook it with Xu Nuo. He found that this Xu Nuo person looked and felt a bit like Ye Han Ying, they both wore glasses, and though they looked gentle, they were actually an animal dressed in sheep’s clothing. Ye Han Ying was a snake, but this kid was a bit like a rabbit, a little cunning but not bad, especially wearing that pair of black-rimmed glasses, it covered half of those cunning eyes, making him look more harmless.

“Hello, it’s nice to meet you, you can call me Lao Cai like Tong-zi or Xu Nuo is also fine.” Xuo Nuo casually pointed at the door, “You haven’t eaten yet, right? Let’s go, I will invite you to eat some local specialties.”

In Lin Yu Tong’s last life, he and Xu Nuo didn’t meet in this city, so he really didn’t know what specialties were delicious there. He and Gao Wen Liang were not polite, and so got on Xu Nuo’s car and went to the street selling local foods together. Please read at insidethemirror translations. DO NOT REPOST.

Thinking of the memory where Gao Wen Liang ate stinky tofu, Lin Yu Tong suddenly felt a bit painful, but he never expected that the pain would become even worse, because Xu Nuo actually had a special taste in common with Gao Wen Liang, and that was eating stinky tofu together!!!

The scent fumigated Lin Yu Tong’s nose…

What about eating local specialties?!

Xu Nuo bluntly said: “This is one of the local specialties, this place’s stinky tofu is different from others.”

Gao Wen Liang nodded, “The spiciness is just right, and the sauce is different from ours, ours are only sprinkled with dry ingredients.”

Lin Yu Tong couldn’t bear it anymore and moved his chair, then he ate some of the other things that Xu Nuo bought him, such as the steamed magnolia cake, sliced meat with ​​magnolia flowers, magnolia tea and so on, it was said that they were all local specialties, but it’s just all of them made with freshly picked magnolia flowers as ingredients. These foods smelled particularly fragrant and tasted good, and they comforted Lin Yu Tong’s fragile sense of smell.

When paying the bill, Xu Nuo said: “It’s because you came too suddenly, otherwise I could’ve found out in advance what delicious local foods were available here. I usually stay at home and rarely come out, and I don’t like to try new things, so I just keep an eye on the things I like to eat, unless the store doesn’t do well or goes bankrupt, I won’t change places to eat. I’ll bring my cousin out tomorrow and let him be your guide.”

Lin Yu Tong said, “I’m giving you trouble.”

Xu Nuo waved his hand, “It’s rare to get to know someone’s character over the Internet, it’s no problem.”

Lin Yu Tong didn’t keep him too long because Xu No was still busy with his manuscript, so he left after planning to meet up again the next day. The amount that Lin Yu Tong could write in an hour, Xu Nuo had to write for a long time, so Lin Yu Tong really couldn’t bear to take up too much of his time.

It was about nine o’clock in the evening when they returned to the hotel, and when Lin Yu Tong saw that it was still early he went to code for a while. His current speed was almost five thousand words per hour, but if he concentrated for four hours, he could save 20,000 words, it was also possible to save three to four thousand more words. It wasn’t long now before it’s was time for him to open a new pit, so he wrote 5,000 words a day, but he wanted to save enough, then when he got married, he planned to code 20,000 to 30,000 a day, but during their honeymoon he wouldn’t write anything and concentrate on accompanying Zhan Yi Fei.

Lin Yu Tong wrote and didn’t lie down until half past eleven, but they didn’t know that Amused Landlord who would be coming out to play the next day, was still struggling to type each word.

This scene was destined to be filled with various physiological blows…

The next day, Lin Yu Tong washed up and went out with Gao Wen Liang, they went to Yuling Mountain to meet with Amused Landlord. This mountain was well-known in the local area, and peach blossoms were currently growing all over the mountain, when the wind blew, the petals would slowly float down like dancing fairies and dye the ground with a layer of pink. After getting out of the car, Lin Yu Tong brought out a camera and took some photos, he always felt that the beautiful natural sceneries were particularly inspirational.

Since it was still early in the morning, not many people were going up the mountain yet, so Lin Yu Tong and Gao Wen Liang carried up a travel bag on their backs, and waited before the stone tablet they had agreed upon. There weren’t many flowers around, but there were a lot of big rocks where they could sit and rest. The stones were a bit cold, and when Lin Yu Tong sat on them for a while, he soon felt his butt freeze from the cold, so he stood up to take some pictures again. He had slightly tilted the lens and aimed it at the bottom of the mountain, when there he saw Amused Landlord puffing and whimpering as he came up, still a certain distance away from them.

“Say does this netizen have some kind of thing for you? Asking to meet in such a romantic place. If Yi Fei knew about this, he’ll definitely be jealous.” Gao Wen Liang said with a smile.

“If you don’t say then he naturally wouldn’t know. And I advise you not to say anything, otherwise the target of his jealousy would likely become you.” He didn’t need to look far, Gao Wen Liang who was near him would merely be unjustly implicated, right?

“Then I have to say something even more. You don’t know, but at the beginning, I always thought that Lao Xiang liked Yi Fei and was just turning a blind eye to me, so I’ve long since secretly found your man not pleasing to the eyes.”

“…At first I also thought that Brother Xiang likes Yi Fei.” Lin Yu Tong said, and somehow suddenly remembered the situation when he first met Xiang Jun. At that time, Xiang Jun was very guarded against him, but later that defense became weaker and weaker, and their relationship became fairly good, so he forgot about it. But now that he thought about it again, it still felt a little weird.

Gao Wen Liang seemed to be thinking of something too and did not speak for a while.

Xu Nuo finally reached them, but the cousin who he said he was going to bring was not present. He pointed to the upper peak and said, “Would you like to continue climbing for a while? There is a Yuling Temple on this mountain, many people burn incense and worships Buddha, I heard that it’s quite spiritual.”

“Sure.” It was Gao Wen Liang who answered. When he heard that it was quite spiritual, he also wanted to donate some incense paper. Recently Xiang Jun had been seeing a psychiatrist, because even though Xiang Jun’s inability to perform in bed was not caused by underlying medical condition, but of psychological reasons, he really hoped that the Bodhisattva could manifest itself.

“Lao Cai, have you finished saving your manuscript?” Lin Yu Tong asked. Earlier when he arrived Xu Nuo said that it would be okay to go out to play, but he did still need to save his manuscript.

“Today’s update has been saved, and I will write something for tomorrow when I go back tonight.” Xu Nuo had a painful expression as he said this, “I must ask the Bodhisattva to let the speed of my hands quickly increase.”

“Having fast hands is not enough, the main thing is for your thoughts to become faster, because if you can’t think of the words in your mind, no matter how fast your hands are, it would be impossible to type even two sentences.

“That makes sense. How about you? What do you want?”

“I’ll ask for my family to be healthy.” Lin Yu Tong said, and seeing the pilgrims start to enter the temple, also followed the crowd. There were three Bodhisattvas in this temple, when Lin Yu Tong saw that everyone was queuing, he was not in a hurry to go light an incense, and went around the place first. He saw Gao Wen Liang asking an aunt how to pay for incense paper, while Xu Nuo was focused on a bracelet being sold by an old man at the entrance, so he simply went to a place with fewer people around.

“Cheng Guan…” Lin Yu Tong suddenly heard an old man’s voice call out. Curious, he followed the sound of the voice and looked, there he saw the abbot master had stopped a disciple. The disciple looked very tall and faintly gave him a familiar feeling, but Lin Yu Tong couldn’t tell.

“Go and call Yun Xin over.” The abbot said. Please read at insidethemirror translations. DO NOT REPOST.

“Yes, Master.” The disciple named Cheng Guan turned around. When Lin Yu Tong glanced at him, he immediately took a step back in shock.

“Second, Second Uncle?”
