The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 247: Feeling Good

Huang Tianyu heard the satisfactory answer and was instantly in a good mood. He released her wrist, started the car, and slowly drove her home.

Once he’d calmed down, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed, not understanding why he lost control of his temper today. At this point, he hadn’t realized he was feeling jealous because he was interested in the little girl.

After safely sending Jiang Huilan home, he turned around and went looking for fun.

Jiang Huilan just thought he was acting crazy, given his quirky temper and tendency to do absurd things. She didn’t take what happened that day seriously and was vaguely grateful that he had helped her reject that deputy camp commander.

The matter passed just like that, and indeed for a time afterward, nothing happened, and their relationship didn’t undergo any major changes.

Later, she ran into him a few times, but they were always in a hurry, and they didn’t exchange many words.

Until the eve of Jiang Yan and Wang Miaomiao’s wedding, one day, he suddenly came to her drunk, holding her hand and refusing to let go, saying a lot of confused words.

When Jiang Huilan spoke about this incident, she stammered with a blush on her cheeks, showing that this entanglement was still remembered by her.

The most unfortunate part was that this tug-of-war was witnessed by Bai Li, who scolded Jiang Huilan harshly and completely denigrated Huang Tianyu.

According to Wang Miaomiao’s guess, that period probably marked the time when Huang Tianyu gradually understood his feelings for Jiang Huilan.

Huang Tianyu, despised by Bai Li, was disheartened for a while.

Until the day Wang Miaomiao had an accident, she rushed to the station to catch a ride to the hospital. Because the facilities in the development zone were still under construction, there were few trips from the station, and it was a distance from the factory to the station.

In any case, while she was anxiously waiting for a bus, he suddenly appeared in front of her in his private car.

"Xiao Laner, waiting for your brother... hop in, I’ll take you for a ride." He still had that laid-back demeanor that made him seem unreliable.

Seeing him again, Jiang Huilan was also a bit dazed... Why was he here?

And... brother? When did he start calling himself that? He used to address himself as uncle, always with the attitude of ’I’m your uncle, here to take care of you.’

However, she was in a hurry to get to the hospital, so she didn’t think much before getting into his car, "Uncle Huang, take me to the General Hospital of the Military District. My aunt is hospitalized, and I need to take care of her."

"Call me brother..." Huang Tianyu said with a roguish grin.

Jiang Huilan felt a bit helpless, "Uncle Huang, stop fooling around. Let’s go quickly..."

Huang Tianyu suddenly dropped his playful expression, turning serious as he said, "Call me brother. I’m only three years older, not your uncle."

Jiang Huilan felt a little lost, reminded of that day he came to her reeking of alcohol, talking about his confusions, his worries, his fondness, his hesitation...

Thinking about all of it, her heartbeat suddenly quickened, her hands and feet at a loss, she said, "Everyone calls you that way, Uncle Huang, please don’t make this difficult for me..."

The title was set by the older generation in the compound, a convention everyone followed.

But Huang Tianyu didn’t care about that. After pondering repetitively over this period, he had figured out his feelings.

Moreover, he wasn’t someone to wrong himself. Since he liked her, his belief was to pull her into his arms, not putting any obstacles in his eyes, so full of narcissism, arrogance, and confidence, "I like you. If you want to call your husband uncle, it’s not impossible, but I want to hear you call me brother now. Be good, just call once, and we’ll go."

Jiang Huilan was shocked by his domineering declaration. What did that mean? Was this a threat...

Looking outside, the bus passed by them, and they were still parked by the roadside, wasting so much time.

Jiang Huilan was extremely annoyed. If she had known, she wouldn’t have gotten in his car. Now she was in a dilemma.

"Huang..." Jiang Huilan stumbled over the word ’uncle’ a few times without saying it because the man opposite was leisurely watching her with a smile, clearly intending to wait her out.

"Alright... Brother Tianyu, can we drive first? My uncle’s still waiting at the hospital..." Jiang Huilan compromised. She wasn’t the same Jiang Huilan as before, having been honed by social experience to be someone firm and resolute within the factory.

Although she was still at a disadvantage in front of him, who could say what the future holds?

"Aunt, what should I do?" Jiang Huilan said, distressed, "My mom won’t agree."

After listening to her story, Wang Miaomiao didn’t know what to say. After all, she didn’t know much about Huang Tianyu.

But...

"Huilan, you..." Wang Miaomiao hesitated, unsure if what she said would influence Jiang Huilan’s thoughts.

"What? Aunt, go ahead." Jiang Huilan’s mind was a mess, desperately needing someone to clear it up.

"I just wanted to say, have you already started considering your mom’s opinion? If she agrees, what do you plan to do?" Wang Miaomiao posed the question, hoping that by clarifying it, Jiang Huilan would find her answer.

Hearing her words, Jiang Huilan’s face became strange, possibly due to the internal conflict, her expression shifting quickly, making others feel her struggles.

Seeing she couldn’t figure it out anytime soon, Wang Miaomiao didn’t just wait, but helped herself to the fruit basket that Huang Tianyu had brought, finding a dragon fruit to peel and eat.

She was expecting a child, and she couldn’t be short of fruit. Eating more fruits rich in vitamins was beneficial for the child’s healthy growth.

Despite thinking for a long time, Jiang Huilan couldn’t come up with a specific answer.

When Huang Tianyu said he would pick her up for lunch, he really came.

Cheng Xue came in carrying the meals from home, followed closely by Huang Tianyu.

"Sister-in-law, I’m here to take Xiao Laner to eat. Xiao Laner, get up, let’s go..." Huang Tianyu was quite self-assured, and honestly, his tone was somewhat irritating.

Jiang Huilan didn’t want to go, as she hadn’t figured out her own feelings yet. She didn’t want to see him at that moment, "I said I’m not going. Why can’t you understand? I want to stay here to eat with aunt and Xiao Xue, you should just hurry up and leave..."

Faced with her expulsion, Huang Tianyu was a bit taken aback, furrowing his brows and staring intently at Jiang Huilan, standing there unmoving.

No way would he leave. They had agreed before, and she wanted to renege?

If Jiang Huilan knew what he was thinking, she’d certainly cry injustice, clearly it was his own decision, and she weakly opposed it but he pretended not to hear.

After a while, he showed no signs of leaving, was he going to act obstinately and wait her out again?

Cheng Xue looked puzzled, full of gossip, and Wang Miaomiao was equally helpless. In the end, Jiang Huilan could only agree reluctantly, unhappily leaving with him.
