Du Anran admitted that what Han Yuan said was the truth. Money could be earned slowly, but youth only came once.
Only by doing what one loved, enjoying freedom, and embracing youth could one not let down the years.
However, there were thousands of ways of living. Some people could unload their burdens and give up everything, but some people could not. Du Anran felt that she was the type of person who could not let go. She had too many burdens on her shoulders.
"cousin-in-law, do you want to go with me next time? I have already planned the route. Xiao Tao is also planning to go with me. We are just waiting for a few days of rest before we set off! " Han Yuan was in high spirits. His entire body was full of vigor and vitality.
Du Anran shook her head repeatedly. "I can't go. I still have to go to work and take care of my family. Moreover, I haven't gone on a trip for several years. How can I go to such a far place? "
"Cousin sister-in-law, look at you. Aren't you about the same age as me? Look at Xiao Tao. Aren't we both at the same age? Don't talk about yourself as old. You're still young and beautiful in my eyes! " Han Yuan laughed.
Actually, Du Anran was also hesitant in her heart. She had long wanted to go out and play. Moreover, she had suggested going to the water world with Xin Zimo yesterday, but Xin Zimo had rejected it.
"cousin-in-law, is my autocratic cousin oppressing you again? YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO RESIST! " Han Yuan could see that Han yuan was hesitating, but he could not think of any other reason.
Du Anran thought about it. It was not a bad idea to bring Xin Zimo out with her.
She did not immediately reject Han Yuan. After thinking for a moment, she said, "why don't I go back and discuss it with your cousin? See if he has time. Let's go together? "
"FORGET IT! " Han Yuan looked disdainful. "He will go out to play? Unless the sun rises from the West, that workaholic! Besides, with him by our side, can we have fun? I have never seen him smile... "
Du Anran was sweating. Even Han Yuan despised him.
"Then I'll go back and think about it. If I have any ideas, I'll call you? " Du Anran said.
"Okay, I warmly welcome cousin-in-law to join us! " Han Yuan clapped.
"Do you guys want to go to the Xin Corporation? " Du Anran asked again.
"Yes, I promised Xiao Tao to take her there, " Han Yuan said.
Du Anran sized them up. Although they looked intimate, they did not look like a couple. Thinking of this, the words that mother Xin had told her before resurfaced in her mind.
Xin Zimo's mother had previously threatened her to leave Xin Zimo and even wanted her to marry Han Yuan.
Now that she thought about it, Du Anran could not help but burst into laughter. She and Han Yuan were completely different people. Although their ages were similar, their style of doing things did not match at all.
The feeling that Han Yuan gave her was that he was still very young and would not care about many things in the future. However, Xin Zimo was different. He would think about many things and could be more reliable for her.
"Then let's go together. I happen to be going to the Xin Corporation as well. "
"Sure, let's walk together! " Han Yuan suggested.
"Ah? Walk Together? " Du Anran knew that there was still some distance between here and the Xin Corporation. If they walked together, it would take at least fifty minutes.
"just take it as a walk, cousin-in-law. I haven't seen you for a long time. "
"Then let's walk together. " Du Anran held the milk tea. The sunlight on her face was warm.
Xiao Tao was not familiar with them, so she rarely interjected. She just quietly walked beside them and listened to their conversation.
"Han Yuan, when did you come back? Does the Xin family know? " Du Anran asked. She had never heard that Han Yuan had come back from a trip.
"I always leave quietly and come back quietly. No one knows. This time, I have been to Shangri-la for more than a month. I have been doing an exploration and discovery at Shennongjia some time ago. "
"Exploration and discovery... " Du Anran burst into laughter. "What you can explore has long been discovered by others. "
"You all hurt me... " Han Yuan was calm and composed. "To be honest, after I play this period of time, I plan to go to Shennongjia to do research with the scientific team. "
Du Anran did not know that Han Yuan had such a thought. It sounded strange, but it was also in line with Han Yuan's curious personality.
"Isn't that very hard? " Moreover, he could sit on the bench while doing research, and he was a calm and meticulous person.
"I know all of it, but what I'm interested in is better than me randomly finding a company to work in. Even if I become a senior in the company in the future, like my cousin, it's just that he has a lot of wealth and is envied by others, but it's not what I want in the end. "
"Your values are not quite the same as your cousin's. If he were here, he would say that you have a childish temper again. " Du Anran smiled.
"actually, everyone pursues different things. My cousin likes to manage companies, so it's understandable that he wants to pursue a life above others. However, I don't like it. If I force myself, I'll be making things difficult for myself. "there are many ways to live your life. The goal is not to regret. "
Du Anran did not expect that although Han Yuan looked like he liked to play, he was still a person with ideas. These ideas might be unprofessional in the eyes of the secular world, but du Anran could not help but support him.
Xiao Tao, who was at the side, saw him talking about this She also had a worried look on her face. "I will graduate from university in a few months. My father has been forcing me to work in the government agency. I don't like to stay in the same place forever. I like to walk freely, so I want to be a tour guide. "
Han Yuan smiled and said, "you are a girl running around. Be careful that you don't get married. "
"then you just said that you don't regret it. If I really go to work in the agency, I will regret it, " Xiao Tao said.
"Xiao Tao, then you can be a tour guide for a few years. If you don't like it, then come back. If you like it, then you can continue to be a tour guide. There will be no conflict, " Du Anran said with a smile.
It was just like how she insisted on going to work at the newspaper company. However, after a few months, she didn't have any regrets. She liked children more now. The last time she went to school for a day, she felt very happy to stay with children.
"cousin-in-law, how is cousin-in-law? I haven't contacted you for a long time. You know, I don't like to bring my phone with me when I go out. I like to be free and unfettered. No one will disturb me, so I haven't contacted him. " Han Yuan scratched his head.
"He's fine. He's still the same, " Du Anran said. "You need to change this habit of yours. It's good to be free and unfettered, but you can't let your family worry. "
"It's okay. I'll call my family every few days to tell them that I'm safe. "
Just as he finished speaking, Han Yuan whispered mysteriously, "sister-in-law, did cousin manage to woo you? "
He did not forget that period of time when Xin Zimo came to him with a long face to discuss the matter of chasing his wife. She even drank a few bottles of his precious collection. If he managed to woo her, he would have to ask for some red packets.
"So it's just so-so. " Du Anran curved her lips into a smile.
"Actually, I say that my cousin is a good person. If it's just so-so, it's definitely worth it. When he's angry, you just ignore him. When he's drunk, you also ignore him. Besides, he's quite normal. "
Du Anran raised her head to look at the sky. In fact, Han Yuan had forgotten to mention one thing, which was that when he was jealous, he could also ignore him.
Very quickly, they chatted and laughed along the way to the Xin family. When Xiao Tao saw that the entire imposing building was hung with the words "Xin Family Group" in gold, she exclaimed in surprise and immediately felt a sense of worship.
"Han Yuan, the entire group belongs to your cousin? " Xiao Tao raised her head and counted the towering floors.
"Yes, I'll take you up for a walk. Stop counting, there's a total of thirty-nine floors. " Han Yuan shrugged.
The three of them walked into the Xin Group. The Hall of the Xin Group Building was very luxurious. A few large pillars were placed in the middle, the floor was clean and spotless, reflecting people's shadows.
Han Yuan felt like he was walking in his own home, as if he was counting his family's treasures. He kept introducing Xiao Tao. This was the front desk, this was the design department, this was the operations department, and that was the business department... ...
Xiao Tao had a look of admiration on her face. In fact, Du Anran did not know as much as Han Yuan did. Although she stayed at the Xin Corporation every day, she had not been to other places except the first and thirty-sixth floors.
When the three of them reached the thirty-sixth floor, Du Anran brought them to the waiting room.
"cousin-in-law, by the way, I came back this time to bring you gifts. " Han Yuan took off the bulging backpack behind him.
"What good things? " Du Anran saw that he was carrying such a big bag.
Han Yuan took out two boxes. One was decorated with a bow and a pink heart, and the other was dark purple.
He put the box on the table. "The pink one is for you, cousin, and the purple one is for cousin. Open it and take a look. "
"Okay, let me see what's fun. " Du Anran knew that Han Yuan was weird, so the things he brought back must be weird too.
As she expected, the box was filled with leaf specimens, and there was a stone pendant lying quietly among the colorful leaves.
The stone was not an ordinary stone, but an amber stone. In the middle of the amber stone, a small, Dusty Blue Butterfly could be seen.
"It's so beautiful. Where did you buy it? " Du Anran looked at it carefully. She did not know if it was because the small butterfly had shrunk due to its age. It looked only the size of a soybean, but its outline was clear.
"You can't buy it even if you have money. If you don't believe me, you can ask cousin to buy it. " Han Yuan was quite proud.
"really? " Du Anran glanced at him, then picked up the leaf specimens that were decorated in the box.
Different specimens were marked with different names. Du Anran was not very familiar with them, but they were all rare plants.
"Of course it's true. I accidentally found it when I was exploring Shennongjia some time ago. There was a place that normal people were not allowed to enter. I was familiar with an old scientist, so he let me in, " Han Yuan said "But this kind of thing also depends on fate. I just happened to have a pair of amber stones, a blue butterfly, and a gray butterfly. The first thing I thought of was cousin-in-law and cousin-in-law, so I got someone to make a pendant. I wish the two of you a long life. "
After listening to Han Yuan's explanation, du Anran suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Butterflies... ... Two butterflies She could not help but think of the ancient legend, Liang Zhu ...
Perhaps she was too sensitive, so she did not let herself think about it. She said to Han Yuan, "such a big gift, how should I thank you? "
This was indeed something that could not be bought with money. It was completely a coincidence of opportunity and a gift from heaven.
"good things must be left to the fated person. If cousin-in-law collects them well, it is the greatest kindness and gratitude. " Han Yuan's eyes were full of piety. The reason why he gave the amber stone to Du Anran was because he could see that du Anran was a person who knew how to treasure.
"When did you become so philosophical? "
"I read tens of thousands of books and traveled tens of thousands of miles. When I see more scenery and hear more reason, I will naturally say a few words, " Han Yuan said with a smile.
Du Anran was happy. It was really poor. However, she also believed that if she insisted on what she loved, she would definitely be able to obtain something. Perhaps it was not necessarily a material reward, but she could also be satisfied mentally.
When it was close to one o'clock in the afternoon, Xin Zimo still had not come to the Xin family, so Du Anran brought Han Yuan and Xiao Tao to the restaurant upstairs to eat.
"cousin, you've hidden so much wine, yet you didn't bring me here to drink it. How ungrateful. " Han Yuan looked at the shelf full of wine and clicked his tongue.
