After a Flash Marriage With the Disabled Tyrant - Chap 38
Cross the line?
Shi Yunnan recalled the words and subconsciously let out a wry smile.
He looked at Luo Lingsheng in front of him and suddenly felt as if he had made a mistake. He thought that the two of them had developed other feelings on top of the ‘agreement‘.
But now a simple phrase had pulled him back to his senses.
It turned out that, in Luo Lingsheng’s heart, he was just an outsider who had crossed the line.
“……”
A new round of silence permeated.
Suddenly, Luo Lingsheng did not dare look into Shi Yunnan’s eyes. For the first time in his life, he was trapped in self-blame, low self-esteem, and guilt that he couldn’t break free from.
During the ragged breathing, his tense heartstrings were almost snapped.
Shi Yunnan slowly got up.
Just when Luo Lingsheng thought Shi Yunnan was about to leave, he merely went to fetch the wheelchair and pushed it back to his feet.
That’s right.
It may be difficult for Luo Lingsheng to reach the wheelchair by himself.
“I know what you’re afraid of, but the inconvenience of your legs is never your problem. You’ve already had a better life than most people. “
Shi Yunnan lowered his eyes and quietly looked at Luo Lingsheng, who was like a trapped beast on the ground. He couldn’t say whether he felt more distressed for the other party or more distressed for himself.
“Luo Lingsheng, I’m leaving now.”
“Get up by yourself.”
Shi Yunnan said these words and quickly walked out of the training room. When he stepped out of the door, he happened to meet Luo Rong, who was approaching.
The two faced each other. Luo Rong was a little surprised, “Mr. Shi? Is Lingsheng in there?“
“Yes.”
Shi Yunnan suppressed the astringency that was gradually creeping inside his heart, saying, “But you’d better not disturb him now.”
Before Luo Lingsheng was back in his wheelchair, he should not have wanted anyone to see his embarrassed appearance.
After Shi Yunnan finished speaking, he quickly walked past her.
Luo Rong stopped in place for a while. Her natural instincts as a woman told her—
Shi Yunnan’s mood seemed to be a little off.
However, the two were strangers who had just met for the first time. There were things she shouldn’t concern herself with.
Luo Rong waited outside for two or three minutes according to Shi Yunnan’s suggestion, and then walked in.
…
Shi Yunnan suppressed the chaos rising in his mind. He walked out a dozen meters, and then stopped with resignation.
He lowered his head and stepped on the small stone under his feet, muttered, as if to vent his anger, “Cross the line? I crossed the line?”
If I really crossed the line, I would have climbed into your, Luo Lingsheng, bed long ago! You’re so used to being the head of the family that you can say anything you want!
But on second thought, Shi Yunnan also understood.
Luo Lingsheng was just too mindful of his legs. In a desperate moment, he pressed him with harsh words.
Shi Yunnan caught a glimpse of the couple’s watch on his wrist, and his mood fluctuated again. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately turned back towards the training room.
Anyway, it’s already like this.
There were still some thoughts he needed to get out of his chest.
In the worst case scenario, Luo Lingsheng couldn’t accept him, and the two of them eventually broke up.
Shi Yunan returned to the independent training room. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the faint sound of conversation. He subconsciously slowed down his footsteps and suppressed the urge to confess to Luo Lingsheng.
Shi Yunnan stood at the corner of the blind spot, and through the frosted glass, he could vaguely see the situation inside—
One person in the room was Luo Rong, standing, and the other was Luo Lingsheng, who had already sat back in the wheelchair.
Shi Yunnan knew that eavesdropping on other people’s conversations was improper, so he was about to make a sound as he entered, but Luo Rong’s question suddenly made him freeze in place.
“Why suddenly get married? With Mr. Shi on top of that? “
Even if he knew that such ‘eavesdropping‘ was disrespectful, Shi Yunnan still stood at the corner and did not move at this second.
Luo Lingsheng in the room was silent, but Luo Rong continued the topic, “I remember you had a person you liked before, right? Before the Luo family’s big incident, weren’t you planning to pursue that person? “
“…..”
For a moment, the light in Shi Yunnan’s eyes dimmed. He suddenly recalled the conversation he had overheard from the servants just before entering the Luo family.
—Does the patriarch have someone in his heart? How do you know?
—I also heard others say that the patriarch had a crush on someone. But before he could pursue that person, he had an accident and injured his leg. That’s how it ended.
Shi Yunnan always thought that these gossips were just jokes made by servants, but now that even Luo Rong said similar things, he knew that everything was true.
Luo Lingsheng had a white moonlight1 in his heart. He was just an outsider who ‘agreed to marry’ and could not cross the line.
Shi Yunnan’s hanging hands clenched into fists unconsciously. The courage fueled by impulsiveness was completely dispelled.
He was afraid that if he stayed here he would only hear more of what he didn’t want to hear, so he stiffly turned and walked away as if to escape.
The conversation inside continued.
Luo Rong rarely saw Luo Lingsheng’s distracted appearance and said in surprise, “Lingsheng? What are you thinking about? I’ve come to see you after a long time, but you’re not here with me?“
“I saw that Mr. Shi was in a bad state. Did the two of you quarrel? “
Luo Lingsheng’s own sister and Luo Rong were of the same age. Although the elders fought openly and secretly, the two cousins had a good relationship since they were young. The relationship between Luo Lingsheng and Luo Rong was not bad either.
Back then, before the big incident in the Luo family, the three cousins got together for a drink. Under the unanimous coaxing and questioning of his own sister and his cousin, Luo Lingsheng reluctantly revealed that ‘he had someone in his heart.’
But the good times didn’t last long. Old Master Luo died of a heart attack not long after, and then the whole family was fighting both with open and secret means.
Luo Lingsheng went through a lot of hardships to become the head of the family. Many of the Imperial Capital gentry tried to capture him, but the results were all there—
No one can succeed.
Some people who approached him with improper intentions ended up even worse.
Everyone said that Luo Lingsheng definitely didn’t plan to find his other half.
When these things came to Luo Rong’s ears, she took it for granted that her cousin still had the secret crush hidden in his heart, but he was reluctant to act due to his legs.
Unexpectedly, the news of Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan’s getting a marriage certificate suddenly came out this year.
It wasn’t easy to find time to return to the country. She naturally wanted to ask for the truth.
Luo Lingsheng’s eyes showed complexity and self-blame. He asked, “Did you just run into him?”
“Yes, I don’t think he’s in a good mood.” Luo Rong told the truth, and her curiosity intensified, “Tell me quickly, what is going on with you two?”
With Luo Lingsheng’s character, she really couldn’t imagine that he would play this kind of marriage game with others.
“As you can see, I’m serious about marrying him.”
Luo Lingsheng’s answer was very brief. He wasn’t someone who liked to divulge details of his private life.
Luo Rong asked again, “…Then have you let go of the person that was in your heart back then?”
“There was never anyone else.”
A simple one-sentence answer completely shook Luo Rong in place.
She let out an unbelievable short laugh, obviously not expecting that person just now to be her cousin’s sweetheart.
Luo Lingsheng didn’t care about her reaction; he just said, “Don’t tell Yunnan about this. I don’t want to burden him.“
The two of them are married by ‘contract’ . If Shi Yunnan got tired of this kind of life one day, he could let him leave at any time.
Since the accident, he had struggled to cure his legs, but the chance was very slim.
If he was destined to live in a wheelchair all his life, he wouldn’t force Shi Yunnan to ‘cross the line’ .
He doesn’t care about his life, but he can’t harm Shi Yunnan.
Luo Rong knew what to say and what not to say, “Don’t worry, I’m going to fly abroad this afternoon, and I don’t know when I will return to the country again. I won’t mess with your husbands’ matters. “
She looked at Luo Lingsheng’s legs and mentioned the serious business that was the purpose of her visit, “By the way, I have something important to tell you.“
“What is it?”
“I asked your cousin-in-law to contact Bence’s team, the world-renowned team in the neurology department, for you. They happened to be from the same origin as Dr. Michele’s team that treated you before. “
Luo Rong married a foreigner who was the director of a foreign private hospital, so she had many connections in the medical field.
In the past two years, the husband and wife have gone through a lot of trouble over Luo Lingsheng’s matter.
“Six months ago, they met a patient with a similar condition to yours. After a half-year of rest and rehabilitation after the operation, although that person hasn’t reached the level of normal people, at least they don’t need to rely on a wheelchair all day. “
“Your brother-in-law immediately contacted the two teams and gave a general overview of your situation. The two sides discussed and studied for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that ‘you can give it a try‘ , but there is no guarantee. “
“The most difficult part is that the success rate of the operation is very low. If this treatment fails, your sciatic nerve may not be able to withstand any further excessive rehab and treatment…“
In other words, the chances of a successful operation are much lower than the dangers of a failed operation.
After Luo Lingsheng heard these words, he was silent for a long time.
Luo Rong knew that it was difficult to decide, so she gave him tactful advice first, “What your brother-in-law means is that if you are willing, it would be best for you to go for another full examination so that both teams can re-evaluate based on your current situation.”
The conditions of each individual are different, and the specific situation still needs to be analyzed in detail.
As for money, that’s the last thing that they lack. As long as there was hope for a recovery, everything would be easy to negotiate.
“When can I make an appointment for an examination?” Luo Lingsheng asked in a determined way. All that came to his mind was the look in Shi Yunnan’s eyes just now.
“I think the sooner the better.”
“If you are in a hurry, you might as well go abroad with me this afternoon? I figured that you wouldn’t give up, so I already spoke with your brother-in-law on the phone yesterday. If you’re certain, we should be able to make an appointment tomorrow or the day after. “
Luo Lingsheng replied, “Okay.”
…
The wind on both sides of the car window poured in frantically, whistling in Shi Yunnan’s ears, but even this couldn’t quench the indescribable anxiety in his heart.
Thinking of his behavior during the past three months, his mind was full of absurdity and ridicule.
Because of a dream, he bet himself on a piece contract. For this reason, he fell into his own trap and fell in love with someone he shouldn’t.
In the end, he didn’t even get to confess to Luo Lingsheng before he realized he was just an extra.
At the thought of having fooled around with Luo Lingsheng by relying on the so-called “contract” and even calling him “husband” many times, he felt an unprecedented shame.
Shi Yunnan suppressed the lump in his throat and simply parked the car in the roadside parking space.
He took out his cell phone and flipped through it.
Wen Yibei had just gone through a fight at the banquet yesterday, so Shi Yunnan didn’t want to bring any more negativity to the other party.
Shi Yunnan thought for a while, and immediately called his friend.
The ‘di’ sounded on the phone for a while before Fu Ziyu picked up the call, “Hey, son, what are you doing?”
“Are you at the nightclub?” Shi Yunnan asked.
Fu Ziyu was stunned for a while, and said in a hoarse voice, “It’s only two o’clock in the afternoon. Which nightclub is doing business during the day? This week, the nightclub held an event, and I was busy until 4:00 or 5:00 a.m. I’m so exhausted. “
Fu Ziyu’s voice on the phone was indeed full of exhaustion. He seemed to be half asleep and asked, “What’s up? Should I get up and go find you now? “
“Forget it, it’s nothing important.”
Shi Yunnan declined, pretending to be relaxed, “It’s just that I haven’t sat down and had a good drink with you for a long time. Last time I didn’t even get to start before Yuan Rui came up. “
“Damn, that was such a shame. Come over tonight. I’ll accompany you to drink. “
Across the phone, Fu Ziyu, who had just woken up, didn’t notice anything unusual about his friend.
He paused for a while, and then jokingly said, “However, you should talk to Luo Lingsheng first, lest he…”
When Shi Yunnan heard the name, he frowned and interrupted, “Stop talking, go to sleep.”
After saying that, he hurriedly hung up the phone, as if to escape. His heart was even more uncomfortable.
Shi Yunnan looked at the few contacts on his phone, and his heart felt a little hollow.

Unrequited love
Shi Yunnan looked at the few contacts on his phone, and his heart felt a little hollow.
He had not returned to the country often in recent years. If there was no “contract relationship” with Luo Lingsheng, he didn’t have many places to go, even abroad. Just like now, he couldn’t actually find a place where he could hide temporarily.
Just as he was thinking, an unfamiliar phone number called.
Shi Yunnan hesitated for a while, then answered the phone, “Hello.”
“Hello, is this Mr. Shi?”
The voice on the other end of the phone was familiar. Shi Yunnan thought for a moment, and the owner of the voice automatically appeared in his mind.
“Lu Zhao’an?”
“It’s me. It’s very presumptuous of me to contact you like this. Last time you bought a jade carving at Yuan Jade, you left your phone number, so I asked the sales clerk for it. ” Lu Zhaoan calmly explained the reason.
Shi Yunnan had a pretty good impression of this person, “Well, what’s the matter, Mr. Lu?”
Lu Zhao’an didn’t beat around the bush, “I wonder if it’s convenient for us to meet up in the next two days? I have a jade design cooperation proposal and want to talk to you about it.“
Shi Yunnan was surprised when he heard the words. He obviously didn’t expect Lu Zhao’an to mention this to him.
Looking at the cars speeding by on the road, he remembered his idling situation right now, and was thinking of finding something to distract himself.
“We can now. Where shall we meet up? “
Lu Zhao’an didn’t expect Shi Yunnan to agree so readily. After a slight pause, he replied, “Mr. Shi, you can choose the location. Since it’s me who has a favor to ask, then I’ll go to you. “
“Okay.”
…
Half an hour later, Shi Yunnan sank into the soft sofa, quietly listening to the melodious tunes coming from the store.
After talking to Lu Zhao’an on the phone, he found a restaurant nearby that had good reviews online.
There was a welcome sound at the door.
Shi Yunnan looked up and saw Lu Zhao’an’s figure. The other party obviously saw him first and walked straight over.
“Hello, Mr. Shi.”
“Take a seat. What would you like to drink? ” Shi Yunnan sat upright.
Lu Zhao’an glanced at the drink in front of him and replied calmly, “The same as you, lemon black tea, since I’m driving.”
After the waiter on the side heard this, he immediately went down to prepare.
Shi Yunnan took a sip of black tea and said, “Mr. Lu, how did you know I could design?”
Lu Zhao’an said, “To put it simply, the jade beads on the shell of Lou’s new product are provided by our Yuan family.”
Hearing this coincidence, Shi Yunnan couldn’t help but sigh.
As the current sole responsible person of the Yuan family, Lu Zhao’an naturally knew the popularity of Lou’s new product designs in the market. This series of designs were the national style that he liked, so he took the initiative to ask the Lou company about the designer.
Then, he unexpectedly got the name ‘Shi Yunnan‘.
Not only that, he also learned one thing from Mrs. Lou: Shi Yunnan seems to have a lot of experience in jewelry and should have been engaged in relevant design before.
After going back and forth, Lu Zhao’an became more and more determined to contact Shi Yunnan.
While talking, the waiter brought the drink up.
After the waiter left, Shi Yunnan asked, “What does the jade design cooperation that Mr. Lu mentioned on the phone just now mean?”
Lu Zhao’an genuinely needed this cooperation, so he answered Shi Yunnan’s question seriously.
“To tell you the truth, the Yuan family relied on jade carving for a living from the very beginning. Counting back to forty or fifty years ago, when the jade carving market was popular, the Yuan family can be regarded as one of the best brands in the country…“
But in the past decade or so, the jade carving market has been getting narrower and narrower.
Refined manual crafting was replaced by mechanical processing. The quality of goods in the market varied, which indirectly affected sales.
Although good artificial jade carvings can still be sold at high prices, the cost and energy are also proportional. It can sometimes be described with one sentence:
It’s rare to sell one piece in three years1.
Because jade carving skills couldn’t support their livelihoods, the jade carving masters of the Yuan family quit and changed their careers. It was even harder for the younger generation to learn the craft seriously.
During the two years that Lu Zhao’an managed the Yuan family for his master, he clearly felt the limitations of the jade carving business. It was more like an art form within the circle than a popular trend among the public.
Yuan’s sales in the jade carving industry had been declining year after year. They were only able to sustain themselves by relying on the sale of rough stones.
Shi Yunnan probably understood what Lu Zhao’an was thinking, “Mr. Lu wants to use jade jewelry as a new approach?”
“Yes.”
The ancestors of the Yuan clan have set a rule: be good at what one does. Jade carving is the foundation of our Yuan clan. We cannot abandon our way.
Therefore, the Yuan family did not develop the jade jewelry market on a large scale, and now the market is occupied by other companies.
Because of the heavy nature of jade itself, most jewelry designs tend to give people a sense of ‘old age‘, and the market itself has not yet been fully opened.
If the Yuan family wants to attract customers now, it has to rely on new and novel designs in addition to the common jade designs.
Shi Yunnan surpassed this limitation with the design he did for the Lou company. Although it was not exactly a jade design, it has the same merit.
“I want to find a group of designers to cooperate with. The designers can choose to design a mass-produced piece or a high-end design for auction. All the rough stones and materials used in the design will be provided by the Yuan family. “
“In addition to the one-time payment of the design fee, the selling price can also be divided according to the contract.“
After confirming his plan, Lu Zhao’an immediately found his master, Yuan Puguang, to discuss. After thinking over and over again, the latter decided to delegate the authority to him.
“Mr. Shi, I know this proposal is very abrupt, and there are differences between jade design and appearance design, but if you have any interest, you are welcome to cooperate with us, Yuan, at any time.“
Lu Zhao’an’s expression was calm and his words were sincere.
Shi Yunnan didn’t rush to give his answer, but remembered another thing—
Because Yuan Rui is the second male lead, the Yuan family’s follow-up trend wasn’t bad. He has indeed made a name for himself in jade design and established his own brand in the market.
But all of this was based on Xie Keyue’s proposal.
Xie Keyue proposed and invested in the Yuan family’s jade design field, so when the Yuan family made a lot of money in the jade jewelry industry, he naturally made a fortune as well.
As for Yuan Rui, who was in charge of this matter, he naturally trusted this good friend even more.
Now, how come Lu Zhao’an was the one who brought this up?
Seeing that Shi Yunnan didn’t speak, Lu Zhaoan asked, “Mr. Shi?”
“Mr. Lu is unaware that what I did abroad was jewelry design.”
“It is said that diamonds and jades are not separated from each other. If I can apply the design skills I have learned to the jade design of our country, I will…”
Before he could finish speaking, the mobile phone on the table vibrated again. The name displayed on the screen was Luo Lingsheng.
When Shi Yunnan saw this name, his thoughts, which were not easily concentrated, drifted out again.
In Lu Zhao’an’s eyes, he thought it was inconvenient for him to answer the phone, so he said, “Mr. Shi, do you want me to go out first?”
“There’s no need.”
Shi Yunnan calmly hung up the call and turned off the phone, “Let’s continue. I’m very interested in Mr. Lu’s proposal for cooperation. “
…
Luo’s house.
Luo Lingsheng looked at the phone that was hung up and turned off when he dialed again, and wrinkled his brow in a complicated way.
Seeing all this, Uncle Qin couldn’t help but approach and reminded him, “Patriarch, don’t be too anxious. Mr. Shi might be dealing with some business, and it wasn’t convenient for him to answer the phone. “
Luo Lingsheng didn’t answer. The complexity between his eyebrows was even more obvious.
Yuan Meng was taking his luggage out. Qin Jian tidied up the work matters, glanced at the time, and stepped forward, “Patriarch, it’s time for us to leave for the airport.”
“Can you change the flight ticket?” Luo Lingsheng asked.
He had said the wrong thing in the training room before, causing Shi Yunnan to run out just like that. He was worried now that the other party seemed to be holding back his anger and didn’t answer the phone.
“Change the ticket?”
Qin Jian glanced at Uncle Qin with uncertainty. Under the latter’s silent gesture, he immediately picked up his cell phone to look up.
“The earliest flight is tomorrow at noon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Rong, who had already prepared to leave on the same road, came back from outside, “Lingsheng, I just had a phone call with your brother-in-law, and the team over there said that they could arrange a checkup schedule for tomorrow night.”
“There are other patients’ appointments the day after tomorrow, so I’m afraid it will be inconvenient.”
As an elder, the housekeeper stepped forward to persuade him in a low voice, “Patriarch, you, Miss Luo Rong, Qin Jian, and the others should go first.”
“If Shi Yunnan doesn’t come home after five o’clock in the afternoon, I will contact him and send someone to find him. You don’t have to worry about the little young master; I am here. “
“Your leg injury is an important matter, so try not to put it off if you can.”
Luo Lingsheng didn’t refute it. He just used WeChat to send messages to Shi Yunnan and helplessly said, “Let’s go.”
…
Before 7:00 p.m., Shi Yunnan, who had calmed down, returned to the Luo residence. His documents and luggage were still in the room. It was impossible for him to leave home in anger due to what happened in the training room this afternoon.
“Little uncle!”
Little goldfish who was eating pounced on him immediately, holding Shi Yunnan’s hand and shaking it excitedly, “Little uncle, there is fish custard today. Let’s share it, okay?”
The housekeeper came up and said to him, “Mr. Shi, you’re finally back? Have you eaten yet? The Patriarch has temporarily gone abroad to deal with some matters. “
“I know. I saw the message he sent me.” Shi Yunnan replied indifferently.
However, his heart still felt suffocated, so he didn’t want to reply.
Since the other party has a white moonlight in his heart, he shouldn’t stick around like this, otherwise he will be humiliating himself in the end.
“Little Uncle, are you hungry?” Little Goldfish asked happily, not knowing what happened in the afternoon.
“I’m not hungry, I’ve eaten outside.” Shi Yunan squatted down to look at him, “I’m a little tired today. I want to go back to my room to rest first. Be good and finish your meal, okay? “
“Oh.”
Little goldfish looked at him and nodded obediently.
It wasn’t until Shi Yunnan quickly went upstairs that Little goldfish pouted in disappointment and whispered to the housekeeper, “Grandpa Qin, is Little Uncle unhappy?”
Uncle Qin also felt that Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan’s reactions were not quite right, but facing the child, he couldn’t say too much, “It shouldn’t be, your little uncle is just tired.”
“But he didn’t pinch my face today, and he’s talking sullenly.” Little Goldfish’s perception has always been keen: “He didn’t even eat his favorite fish egg custard; he must be unhappy.”
“Then be a good boy and eat your meal first. When he’s hungry, we’ll go to the kitchen to prepare it for him, okay? ” The housekeeper took him back to the dining table.
“Okay.”
…
After Shi Yunnan returned to his room, he sat blankly at his desk, thinking about the path he should take next.
However, he couldn’t sort out his thoughts.
Rationally, he told himself to keep a proper distance from Luo Lingsheng, and even to terminate the contract directly, so as to stop the loss in time.
But emotionally, he couldn’t let it go.
In less than four months, he had regarded the Luo family as a short-lived home, the second home that he had found since his mother passed away.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was eight o’clock in the blink of an eye.
Knock knock.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
The unlocked door was quietly opened, and Little goldfish came in with a small bowl covered with a lid.
“Little Uncle, are you asleep? May I come in? “
The soft and nuanced child’s voice made people feel reluctant to refuse.
Shi Yunnan hooked his lips subconsciously, “Come in, I haven’t slept yet.”
Little goldfish who had changed into cat pajamas ran in and held the small bowl in front of Shi Yunnan, “Uncle, fish custard, all for you!”
“Grandpa Qin has already warmed it up. It won’t freeze your stomach. “
Shi Yunnan was so touched by Little Goldfish’s behavior that he suppressed his emotions and patted his own thigh with a smile, “Come up.”
Little goldfish crawled on his lap and said, “Little uncle, you like fish custard the most, so you won’t be sad anymore after eating it.”
“Who told you that I’m sad?” Shi Yunnan poked his little dimple, which felt good to the touch.
“I can tell.” Little goldfish replied.
He raised his head and asked, “Little Uncle, why are you unhappy? Because uncle is not at home? Grandpa Qin said he went to see his legs. “
“Ok, I know.”
Shi Yunnan didn’t want to talk about Luo Lingsheng again.
In order not to disappoint the child’s good intentions, he scooped a mouthful of fish custard into his mouth. But at the moment when the familiar taste filled his mouth, Shi Yunnan suddenly felt an unbearable heartache.
When he was a child, he thought he could eat the fish custard made by his mother for a long time, but it only happened until the age of seven.
After entering Luo’s house, the first bite of fish custard he ate was arranged by Luo Lingsheng. Perhaps in the near future, he won’t be able to savor this taste anymore.
Little goldfish stared at Shi Yunnan’s faintly red eyes and suddenly seemed to realize something. He wrapped his hands and feet around Shi Yunnan’s body, saying, “Little uncle.”
Little goldfish rubbed his little head against Shi Yunnan intimately, his soft hair scratching the side of his neck.
Shi Yunnan didn’t dodge him, “Hmm? What are you doing clinging to me so much? “
“I like Little Uncle very much.”
Little goldfish suddenly spoke in his ear. The soft voice was full of seriousness. He paused, and did not forget to add the last sentence—
“And uncle, he likes you very much too!”

It is derived from a saying: three years of not selling anything, three years of eating after selling something. It refers to non-mainstream industries like antiques or calligraphy, where you might not sell anything for months or years, but once you do sell something, you make a lot of money at once, enough for you to eat for three years.
