Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 758: Chapter 758: How Did You Melt the Ice Cube?

"You’re back." Tang Yue, wearing an apron with cute cartoon patterns, looked especially young; she didn’t at all seem like a married woman.

"Mhm, An Hao is coming over for dinner." Meng Siyu said while stealthily squeezing into the kitchen and asked, "What’s that all about?"

"They got their marriage certificate."

To Tang Yue, that statement was like a thunderbolt out of the blue.

Even Meng Siyu couldn’t help but be astonished. Weren’t things progressing too quickly?

Or was it that their scheme of playing the victim had been very successful?

"Surprised, aren’t you? I feel the same." Seeing the shocked look on Meng Siyu’s face, Tang Yue couldn’t help but laugh. She briefly recounted the events of the day.

After listening, Meng Siyu also fell silent for a long while.

Meng Siyu could completely understand Gu Chun. As a man, he wanted to be the best, the most perfect, in front of the woman he loved.

"Actually, I think it’s great that they’re together. Honestly, compared to dangerous jobs, compared to that so-called face and dignity, what I’m more afraid of is separation."

Tang Yue’s words paused for a moment. She lifted her head and, looking sideways at him, said, "When we are together, at least I know that you love me in your heart. No matter how long you go out, you will always find a way to come back. We have beautiful memories, and we will have even better days in the future. If we weren’t together, then all that would remain would be an endless lonely wait."

"Life would be like chewing wax, devoid of any hope, unable to see a hint of the future, as if there were no light at all."

"No matter what you do, no matter what happens in the future, the person I love is always you. It won’t change because of a change in status."

Tang Yue gazed directly at him, hoping to convey the thoughts in her heart through this look.

This was not only Lian Tong’s thought but hers as well.

Meng Siyu, moved, embraced Tang Yue and said, "Wife, you’re really wonderful."

The hot pot in the evening was very lively.

Qin Anhao was enjoying it thoroughly. It was the same lamb hot pot, but today it tasted so much better.

The slices of lamb in the hot pot, and the tofu, seemed to be simmered even more deliciously.

"Si Yu’s wife, how did you make this lamb hot pot? It’s so delicious. And this tofu, why is it also especially tasty?" Qin Anhao asked while eating.

Tang Yue explained with a smile that the lamb was prepared by her own hands, stewed for a full three to four hours on low heat, which naturally made it delicious. The tofu, too, had been stewed for a long time, soaking up the flavors, naturally enhancing its deliciousness.

"The cabbage you love." Meng Siyu picked vegetables for Tang Yue, consistently picking out slices of lamb for her.

Lian Tong and Gu Chun were even more affectionate with each other, as if they wanted to make up for more than a decade of lost time.

Qin Anhao, coming to his senses a bit late, realized that he was the only one left alone. The hot pot was tasty, but facing these two couples flaunting their love, the mushiness was a bit much for Qin Anhao, making him feel somewhat out of place.

Everyone else was in pairs, only he was alone.

Turning sorrow into strength, Qin Anhao buried his head in eating voraciously, planning to leave as soon as he was done.

Meng Siyu said, "Auntie, Uncle, today is a joyous occasion for you both. I plan to take Xiao Yue to watch the sunrise, so we’ll leave you to look after the house."

With those words, Meng Siyu took Tang Yue out the door.

It wasn’t to watch the sunrise; it was just to give the couple some time alone.

Meng Siyu took Tang Yue to stay at a hotel, a very luxurious one in Jin City. The suite in the hotel was actually very clean.

The next morning, Tang Yue woke up to see Meng Siyu still there.

"Huh, why didn’t you go to the company?" Tang Yue was a bit surprised.

Meng Siyu hugged her and kissed her before saying, "I’m spending the day with you today."

"Don’t worry, we have one day every weekend. Where do you want to go?" Meng Siyu asked her.

Tang Yue thought for a moment and shook her head, "I don’t know either."

There are many attractions in Jin City in the future, but she didn’t know any at the moment.

"How about, going to the amusement park?"

When Meng Siyu suggested it, Tang Yue was surprised and asked, "How did you think of going there?"

"There are a lot of people there, and lots of fun things too. I heard there’s a carousel that girls like to ride. Want to go see?" Meng Siyu heard this from Qin Anhao.

Many female classmates in the school liked riding it.

This was the perfect opportunity to take her there.

"Sure."

Tang Yue excitedly changed her clothes and followed Meng Siyu to the amusement park; when she was younger, they couldn’t afford it, let alone going to the amusement park, they seldom even went to the county.

As soon as they arrived at the amusement park, Tang Yue, with her sharp eyes, spotted Qin Anhao and Xie Ziyao.

"How come they are together?" Tang Yue curiously tugged at Meng Siyu’s sleeve.

Qin Anhao happened to look over and, seeing Meng Siyu and Tang Yue, came running over as if he had seen saviors, not feeling at all like he was interrupting Tang Yue and Meng Siyu, and said excitedly, "Si Yu, great timing, we’ve got company now."

Meng Siyu glanced at Xie Ziyao, then at Qin Anhao, but didn’t say anything.

Qin Anhao leaned in close and whispered in his ear, "Si Yu, don’t blame me for this. If anyone’s to blame, it’s you for bringing Xie Ziyao here. Now you’ve got to help a brother out."

"You guys make a pair too, right?" Meng Siyu joked.

Qin Anhao grimaced and said, "Forget it, I’m not interested in young girls. The joke I made with you has been used against me; having dinner wasn’t enough, she insisted I invite her to the amusement park."

On the other side, Xie Ziyao spoke enthusiastically, "You’re Tang Yue, right? What a coincidence to run into you here."

"It is quite a coincidence." Tang Yue nodded, glanced at Qin Anhao’s grimace, then at Xie Ziyao, and couldn’t help thinking, they actually looked quite well-matched.

And so, their world for two turned into an outing for four.

When it came to trying attractions, Xie Ziyao was like a madwoman, insisting on trying everything and dragging Tang Yue along with her.

"No way, no way, can’t do this one." Tang Yue felt scared just looking at the high-altitude attractions, her legs going weak; she’d better not try it, lest her heart leap out of her chest.

"This one’s really thrilling."

Xie Ziyao tried to persuade Tang Yue, who refused to concede, so Xie Ziyao had to drag her to ride the carousel instead.

Tang Yue really liked this one, and Xie Ziyao was as happy as a child, calling her ’Tang Yue’ as casually as if the previous incident had never happened.

"By the way, Tang Yue, how did you manage to thaw the ice cube?" Xie Ziyao suddenly asked.

Ice cube?

"Meng Siyu," Xie Ziyao clarified.

When mentioning Meng Siyu, there was no affection in Xie Ziyao’s eyes, only curiosity.

"He pursued me." Tang Yue remembered the time when they just got together, the situation being unforgettable to this day.
