1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 326 The Unfortunate Cousin Who Came from Afar to Be a Third Wheel

"Quanjude's business is still booming!" Song Yunqing exclaimed. "There are even more cars than last time!"

The area in front of the gate was full of cars, many of which had embassy signs. Quanjude has always been a place for receiving foreign guests, so foreign faces are not a rare sight here.

The aroma of roasted duck from the fruitwood filled the air as soon as you entered. Song Yunqing took a deep, delighted breath and exclaimed, "It smells so good!"

American Chinese food rarely has such a strong aroma, and it was hard for Lawrence's eyes not to linger on the chef's hands as he sliced ​​the duck.

"The roast duck here is all sliced ​​fresh at the table?" he asked in surprise.

"Yes, they're all freshly baked and sliced, with crispy skin and tender meat that melts in your mouth." Song Yunqing was already drooling just thinking about the taste.

"Hello, who are there?"

"The three of you would like a private room."

"Alright, this way please!"

The waiter led the three through the bustling lobby. The private room was well soundproofed; closing the door shut out the outside noise.

"What would you like to eat?" The waiter handed over the menu.

Lawrence picked up his camera and took a picture, while Song Yunqing began translating sentence by sentence.

Lu Youyou said directly, "A whole roast duck, deep-fried pork tenderloin, braised three delicacies, and a bowl of hot and sour soup."

"Alright, please wait a moment, we'll be right there."

As Song Yunqing looked at the food, she shook her head and said, "To be honest, it's so delicious and cheap. I feel like I'm getting a bargain by eating here."

"Is this number real?" Lawrence was also surprised. A freshly made roast duck costs only a few dollars, which is practically free.

"Isn't cheap good?" Lu Youyou laughed. These two probably don't know how low the average wage is in China.

"Okay, eat whatever you want!" Song Yunqing didn't act like a spoiled rich girl at all. How could she not be happy to be able to eat such delicious food for such a small amount of money?

Lawrence put down his camera and asked, "Lu, are you teaching at a university now?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I wonder if I could visit your alma mater?"

Lu Youyou nodded: "Sure, when do you have time?"

Song Yunqing chimed in, "Tsinghua University? I'm going too!"

Lawrence said, "I have time, so how about tomorrow?"

Song Yunqing, arm in arm with Lu Youyou, saw her nod and immediately began to plan tomorrow's itinerary.

"How about we explore Tsinghua University during the day, and if we have time, visit the Forbidden City? In the evening, we'll go out for hot pot, okay?"

Lu Youyou smiled and said, "Sure, I'm on vacation anyway, so it's up to you."

Twenty minutes later, the chef brought in the roast duck.

The freshly roasted duck exudes an enticing aroma, its glistening skin glistening with oil, and you can tell how crispy it is even before you take a bite.

The chef's slicing technique was unhurried and rhythmic, prompting Lawrence to pick up his camera and take several more pictures.

Lu Youyou wrapped up a roll and handed it to Lawrence: "Try it."

Meanwhile, Song Yunqing had already started eating her second one and had no time to say anything more.

"It's delicious!" Lawrence nodded repeatedly.

Chinese food always brings surprises, and today's meal was no exception.

That evening, Lu Youyou first took Lawrence to the Beijing Hotel, and then took Song Yunqing home.

Gu Qingye went out as soon as he heard the door open: "Why are you so late today?"

Song Yunqing peeked out from behind Lu Youyou: "Hi, cousin, long time no see!"

Gu Qingye was taken aback, seemingly not expecting the Song family to suddenly return to the country: "Long time no see. Are you alone? Where are Grandpa and the others?" "Just me. It's summer vacation, so I came to visit my sister-in-law!"

Song Yunqing was still holding Lu Youyou's arm, her head resting on her shoulder, perfectly embodying the idea of ​​"going to play with her sister-in-law."

"Have you eaten?"

"We've eaten, we had roast duck for dinner. We're planning to go for hot pot tomorrow. Cousin, do you want to come? There are four of us, so we can order more."

"Four people?" Gu Qingye looked over.

Lu Youyou said, "Another one is my classmate from the United States. His family came to China for a business trip, and he came along with them."

Gu Qingye raised an eyebrow slightly. Since they were here in China for an inspection, it was undoubtedly foreign investment, so…

"Is it Lawrence Rockefeller?"

"Correct."

Song Yunqing asked curiously, "Cousin, you know Lawrence too?"

Gu Qingye smiled and said, "Of course I know the people your sister-in-law has saved."

"Oh~" Song Yunqing once again showed an expression of being totally smitten.

She always says that if you want to ship a couple, you have to be there in person!
Even without physical contact or sweet words, the air was already thick with a sticky, stringy atmosphere!
Lu Youyou pushed open the door to the guest room in the west wing: "Yunqing, can you stay in this room tonight? The bathroom is over there. Go wash up first, and I'll change the sheets for you."

"Yes, madam!" Song Yunqing gave a playful salute, then turned back after walking out. "Sister-in-law, can I sleep with you tonight?"

Just as Gu Qingye was about to say no, his cousin, who had come all the way to be a third wheel, had already clung to his wife.

"Please, sister-in-law, I want to sleep with you. We haven't had a proper chat in over a year!"

With her voice twisting and turning dozens of times, Song Yunqing filled Lu Youyou's ears. Not only was she verbally clingy, but she also used her hands and feet to cling to her.

"Okay, okay, I'll sleep with you tonight," Lu Youyou said helplessly.

"Yes!" Song Yunqing clenched her fist in celebration, and before leaving, she added with some concern, "I'm going to take a shower now, I'll wait for you!"

As soon as the light bulb left, Lu Youyou was embraced from behind by a pair of long arms, and warm breath lingered on her neck.

"then what do I do?"

Lu Youyou chuckled: "What? What should we do?"

His lips pressed softly against her collarbone, and his deep voice vibrated in her ear: "What do you think?"

Lu Youyou couldn't stand the itching, so she turned around and hugged Gu Qingye's waist: "It's just for one night."

"I can't stand it even for one night."

Since you're going to be living alone all year, it's not unreasonable to charge some interest, right?

In the stillness of the night, only the increasingly heavy breathing could be heard, along with two overlapping and intertwined shadows under the moonlight.

Song Yunqing hummed a song as she returned to the guest room. She saw Lu Youyou, who had changed into pajamas and was making the bed, and breathed a sigh of relief.

She jumped onto the bed, rolled around comfortably a few times, and then craned her neck with a smile to observe Lu Youyou's expression.

"What's wrong? Quickly dry your hair."

Song Yunqing chuckled: "I thought my cousin wouldn't agree. The look on his face just now...tsk tsk. Luckily I held on. Someone else might have given up under duress!"

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Of course!" Song Yunqing tried to imitate it, but couldn't quite get the hang of it. "Anyway, that look in his eyes makes me look like a bandit trying to kidnap a bride!"

Lu Youyou's lips were still tingling, and thinking about what had just happened made her ears burn again.

I don't know who the bandits are, they're fighting and robbing, they're fierce and ruthless, they can't wait to make up for the emptiness of tonight.
