Just Graduated, the Aloof School Flower Brought the Baby to the Door?-Chapter 65 - Life Needs Seasoning
Chapter 65: Life Needs Seasoning
“Sir, Madam, taking care of the babies during this time has been a joy. Thank you for your kindness as well.”
Aunt Lan’s eyes glistened with tears.
As a maternity nanny, she had cared for many families before. She had long grown accustomed to partings.
But this time, she felt an unusual sadness.
Lin Yang and Shu Mengyao were by far the best people she had ever worked for.
The two babies were also incredibly adorable.
Now that it was time to leave, she couldn’t help but feel reluctant.
“Aunt Lan, if you ever need anything, just let us know. We’re all friends.”
After sending Aunt Lan off, evening had arrived.
“Lin Yang, what should I wear tomorrow?”
Shu Mengyao opened her wardrobe.
She sat on the bed, deep in thought.
She had been struggling with this all afternoon.
Every piece of clothing looked nice.
But she felt that none of them were suitable for the countryside.
Having grown up in the city, she really had no idea.
She didn’t even know what she should do once she got there.
“Just wear something comfortable.”
“We’ll be staying there for two or three days.”
“It’s summer now, and there are more mosquitoes over there. It’s best to bring a light jacket for sun protection.”
“The roads might be a bit bumpy, so flat shoes will be more comfortable.”
As Lin Yang spoke, he pulled out a simple T-shirt and cropped pants from her wardrobe.
This was the simplest outfit.
“But won’t that look too casual? We’ll be meeting a lot of people.”
Shu Mengyao pouted.
She wanted to make a good impression.
It was their first meeting, after all.
Would dressing too casually make it seem like she wasn’t taking it seriously?
“Don’t worry, they’re all family. They genuinely want to meet the babies, which is why they invited us over.”
“Everyone is really nice. No one will make things difficult for you.”
“And besides, how could they not like someone as lovely as you?”
Lin Yang could sense Shu Mengyao’s nervousness.
Her voice was even trembling.
So, he spoke softly to comfort her.
“But I’m still a little scared.”
Her voice was muffled, her mood unusually low.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to go.
She was just afraid she wouldn’t do well.
Would she disappoint Lin Yang?
Would she disappoint his relatives?
She had never been in such a situation before.
“If you’re feeling this anxious, why not do something else?”
“Take your mind off it first.”
The babies had finished eating and were already asleep.
They wouldn’t wake up until later in the night.
So for now, they had free time.
Having already experienced certain things, Lin Yang knew that—
Life always needs a little seasoning.
Shu Mengyao instantly understood.
“Okay.”
Her voice was barely audible.
But she agreed.
So, they went to their room.
And did some very relaxing activities.
/TL note: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The next morning.
The warm sunlight filtered through the light morning mist,
Spreading across the land.
Shu Mengyao woke up to the sunlight.
She still felt a little tired.
Blushing, she changed into her clothes.
She had successfully distracted herself.
But maybe... a little too much.
She was so exhausted.
“Mengyao, come eat breakfast. We’re about to leave.”
At some point, Lin Yang had already gotten up.
He had finished washing up and was fully dressed.
He wore a simple T-shirt and shorts.
His outfit looked relaxed and comfortable.
Since they were going to the countryside,
Comfort was the priority.
Otherwise—
They would regret it.
“It’s this early?”
Shu Mengyao was surprised.
She patted her cheeks.
She had just woken up and was still a little groggy.
“Yeah, we should get there in time for lunch.”
Lin Yang nodded.
Hearing this, Shu Mengyao became even more flustered.
She had been so worried about making a bad impression.
And now they were having lunch there?
If they were late,
It would be really embarrassing!
“I’ll go wash up right away!”
With that, she dashed into the bathroom.
Lin Yang chuckled as he watched her panicked reaction.

“You don’t have to rush. We’re not that far away.”
It was only a little past 8 a.m.
Shu Mengyao wasn’t particularly slow at getting ready.
And since she was still breastfeeding, she rarely wore makeup.
So, she only needed time to wash up and eat.
Even if it took an hour,
They would arrive before 10 a.m.
They had plenty of time.
But Shu Mengyao didn’t realize this.
She was already panicking.
She quickly washed up.
Then put on the clothes Lin Yang had picked for her yesterday.
“Maybe... I shouldn’t eat breakfast?”
“I’m afraid we’ll be late.”
“And what if I’m not hungry at lunchtime?”
She pouted at the breakfast on the table.
She wanted to eat.
Lin Yang’s cooking was too delicious.
She simply couldn’t resist.
If she started eating, she wouldn’t stop.
What if she wasted time and filled up her stomach?
Ugh.
So conflicted.
“It’s fine.”
“They’re all family. And lunch won’t be ready right away.”
Lin Yang smiled and picked up a soup dumpling.
He held it up to Shu Mengyao’s mouth.
Her face turned red.
Instinctively, she opened her mouth.
And took a bite.
“Ah! So hot!”
She nearly jumped from the heat.
Lin Yang felt bad immediately.
“I meant for you to hold it, not eat it right away!”
He could tell how anxious she was.
But the more anxious she got, the more flustered she became.
He had already held back his laughter multiple times.
“I thought it was ready to eat...”
She pouted, feeling wronged.
So Lin Yang picked up another dumpling.
This time, he blew on it first.
Once it was cooled down,
He brought it to her lips again.
“Now it’s okay to eat.”
Lin Yang smiled.
Shu Mengyao’s face turned even redder.
How embarrassing.
She had actually jumped because of hot food.
Feeling defeated, she ate the dumpling.
But the moment she tasted it,
Her mood instantly improved.
Food made by Lin Yang never disappointed.
After eating three dumplings, Shu Mengyao patted her full stomach.
“Lin Yang, let’s go!”
She strode toward the door.
Without even looking back.
“Mengyao, did you forget something?”
Lin Yang smiled helplessly.
He pointed toward the nursery.
The two babies were still lying in their cribs.
Since waking up, their mom hadn’t paid them any attention.
“Ah!”
“I forgot the babies!”
Her brain felt like it exploded.
The whole point of this trip was to bring the babies!
And she actually forgot them.
“We’ll each push one in a stroller. Let’s go.”
Lin Yang placed both babies in their strollers.
Since they were going out together,
He used the fancy strollers that Chen Tingting had gifted them.
The two strollers rolled forward, one after the other.
They headed to the underground parking lot.
