Chapter 164 New House
After their successful reunion, Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan were inseparable, seemingly determined to make up for lost time. That day, the sun gently streamed down the city streets as Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan strolled hand-in-hand through the bustling commercial district. Li Lingyuan wore a light pink chiffon dress, its hem swaying with her steps like a blossoming spring flower. Xiao Yi, meanwhile, was dressed casually in a white T-shirt and dark blue jeans, looking fresh and handsome.
Li Lingyuan looked around curiously, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She pointed to a shop full of cute dolls and took Xiao Yi's hand and said coquettishly, "Xiao Yi, look at that shop. The things inside are so cute."
Xiao Yi looked in the direction of her finger and said with a smile, "If you like it, go in and take a look."
The two walked into the store, and Li Lingyuan wandered between the shelves like a child, picking up this doll to touch it, then picking up that doll to look at it. She picked up a furry little bear doll and looked at Xiao Yi with sparkling eyes: "Xiao Yi, look at this little bear, doesn't it look like the little puppy we raised in ancient times, round and cute."
Xiao Yi walked up to her, gently squeezed the little bear in her hand, and said lovingly, "It's very cute. If you like it, buy it."
Li Lingyuan hugged the little bear and happily kissed Xiao Yi on the cheek: "Xiao Yi, you are so nice. You always pamper me like this."
Xiao Yi blushed slightly and scratched her nose: "You just want to make me happy, but as long as you like it, I am willing to buy you anything."
After paying, Li Lingyuan held the teddy bear and continued shopping with Xiao Yi's arm around her. When they passed a milk tea shop, Xiao Yi stopped and said, "Yuan'er, do you want to try this? It's very popular milk tea now, and it tastes pretty good."
Li Lingyuan looked at the colorful pictures of drinks on the milk tea shop sign and nodded curiously: "Okay, that sounds interesting."
Xiao Yi ordered two cups of their signature milk tea, one strawberry flavor and one original. He handed the strawberry flavor to Li Lingyuan: "Try this, the strawberry flavor should suit you very well, it's sweet."
Li Lingyuan took the milk tea and took a sip. The sweet taste instantly spread in her mouth. Her eyes lit up: "Wow, it's delicious! Xiao Yi, you should try it too." As she said that, she handed the milk tea to Xiao Yi's mouth.
Xiao Yi looked at the milk tea that was close to his mouth, bit the straw gently, held it in his mouth and took a sip, looking at Li Lingyuan in a deliberately ambiguous way: "Well, it's quite sweet, but not as sweet as you."
Li Lingyuan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said coquettishly, "You just know how to talk nonsense." But the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
The two of them continued strolling down the street, milk tea in hand. Li Lingyuan suddenly remembered something, looked up at Xiao Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, we live in the modern world, we have to find a place to live. We can't always stay in a hotel, that's not convenient."
Xiao Yi nodded, thought for a moment and said, "You're right. We can buy a house and decorate it in the style we like. What kind of house do you like?"
Li Lingyuan tilted his head and thought seriously: "I want a house with a large balcony full of flowers and plants. I want a lounge chair on the balcony so we can bask in the sun and read in the afternoon. The living room should be cozy, with a soft sofa so we can curl up together and watch TV. And finally, the kitchen should be spacious so I can show off my culinary skills."
Xiao Yi looked at Li Lingyuan's face full of longing when he described the house, and his heart was filled with love: "Okay, I'll listen to you. We will go to look at houses tomorrow and we will definitely find your ideal home."
Li Lingyuan laughed happily and hugged Xiao Yi's arm tightly: "Xiao Yi, with you, I feel that all good things can come true."
Before they knew it, night had fallen and the city's neon lights were flickering. Xiao Yi brought Li Lingyuan to a romantic Western restaurant. Inside, soft lights shone on every table, and melodious music filled the air.
The waiter handed over the menu, and Xiao Yi politely asked Li Lingyuan to order first. Li Lingyuan looked at the unfamiliar dishes on the menu, feeling a little overwhelmed. Seeing this, Xiao Yi took the menu with a smile and said to the waiter, "Give us a Wellington steak, a spaghetti bolognese, a vegetable salad, and a bottle of your signature red wine."
The waiter smiled and nodded, then left with the menu. Li Lingyuan asked curiously, "Xiao Yi, are these dishes you ordered delicious? I've never had any of them before."
Xiao Yi said confidently: "Don't worry, these are classic dishes from Western restaurants, and they taste very good. You will definitely like them."
After a while, the dishes were served one after another. Li Lingyuan looked at the exquisite steak in front of her, not knowing how to start. Xiao Yi saw her embarrassment, picked up the knife and fork, and carefully taught her: "Like this, hold the fork in your left hand and the knife in your right hand, slowly cut the steak into small pieces, and then use the fork to eat."
Li Lingyuan followed Xiao Yi's instructions, carefully cutting the steak and chewing it. The tender steak, paired with the rich sauce, made her exclaim, "Wow, it's really delicious! Xiao Yi, how do you know everything?"
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "I've lived in the modern world for a while, so I understand a little bit. As long as you like, we can come often in the future."
During the meal, Xiao Yi also handed Li Lingyuan tissues from time to time and poured wine for her, showing his gentlemanly demeanor. Li Lingyuan was also moved by Xiao Yi's thoughtfulness, and her eyes were full of love.
After dinner, Xiao Yi took Li Lingyuan to the riverside. The water shimmered, reflecting the bright lights on both sides. A gentle breeze blew past, ruffling Li Lingyuan's hair.
Xiao Yi reached out and gently tucked her hair behind her ear. He looked into her eyes lovingly and said, "Yuan'er, I've been searching for you for thousands of years, and finally I'm with you again. In the modern era, I want to create more beautiful memories with you and make you happy every day."
Li Lingyuan's eyes were slightly red with emotion. She held Xiao Yi's hand tightly: "Xiao Yi, me too. No matter how many difficulties we go through, I don't want to be separated from you again."
As she spoke, Li Lingyuan stood on tiptoe and kissed Xiao Yi on the lips. Xiao Yi was slightly startled, then hugged her tightly, responding to this passionate kiss. The river breeze blew gently, as if blessing the sweetness of this couple.
After the kiss, the two stood by the river, hugging each other, quietly looking at the river view. After a while, Li Lingyuan suddenly said mischievously: "Xiao Yi, if we were in ancient times, hugging each other by the river like this, would people say it was immoral?"
Xiao Yi was amused by her words and scratched her nose gently: "Of course, but in modern times, we can enjoy this sweetness to our heart's content. Besides, I want everyone to know that you are the one I love the most."
Li Lingyuan snuggled in Xiao Yi's arms and smiled happily. She thought that being able to start over with Xiao Yi in modern times was the best gift God had given her.
The next day, the two got up early and prepared to go house hunting. They went to a real estate agency, where the agent warmly received them.
The agent pulled out a stack of information and said with a smile, "What kind of house do you two want? I have a variety of house types and locations available. I can give you a detailed introduction."
Xiao Yi looked at Li Lingyuan and motioned for her to speak first. Li Lingyuan cleared her throat and said, "We want a house with a large balcony where we can grow flowers and plants, a cozy living room, and a spacious kitchen. Preferably in a neighborhood with a better environment."
After a moment's thought, the agent said, "Yes, yes, I have a few houses that meet your requirements. One is in a newly developed residential complex with beautiful greenery and complete surrounding facilities. It has three bedrooms and two living rooms, and a large balcony, perfect for your gardening needs. The living room is bright and spacious, and the kitchen is also spacious and well-designed."
Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan looked at each other and saw the anticipation in each other's eyes. Xiao Yi said, "That sounds good. Can you take us to see it now?"
The agent nodded and said, "Of course, please follow me."
The three of them arrived at the residential complex, and Li Lingyuan was immediately drawn to the beautiful surroundings. There were lush greenery, blooming flowers, and a small artificial lake with a few ducks swimming leisurely.
Entering the house, Li Lingyuan was dazzled. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room let in plenty of sunlight. The balcony was indeed large, offering a commanding view of the neighborhood. The kitchen was also spacious, fully equipped with all the necessary utensils.
Li Lingyuan walked around the room excitedly, satisfied with every corner. She looked at Xiao Yi, her eyes full of questions: "Xiao Yi, what do you think? I like it here."
Xiao Yi looked at Li Lingyuan's happy expression and felt very satisfied: "I think it's good, as long as you like it."
So, the two signed a purchase contract with the real estate agent on the spot. When they walked out of the real estate agency, Li Lingyuan jumped up happily: "Wow, we finally have our own home!"
Xiao Yi smiled and hugged her: "Yes, this is our home. We will spend countless wonderful days here in the future."
In the following days, Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan began to busy themselves with decorating the house. They picked out furniture together, carefully selecting every detail, from the style of the sofa to the color of the curtains.
When choosing a sofa, Li Lingyuan fell in love with a pink fabric sofa. It was soft and comfortable, with a cute floral pattern on it. She sat on the sofa and said to Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, this sofa is so comfortable, and the color is also very warm. It will definitely look great in the living room."
Xiao Yi looked at Li Lingyuan and said lovingly, "As long as you like it, let's go with this one."
When choosing curtains, Xiao Yi took a fancy to a pair of light-blocking curtains in light blue. He felt that this curtain matched the overall style of the living room very well. He said to Li Lingyuan, "Yuan'er, what do you think of this curtain? The blue color is very refreshing, and the light-blocking effect is also very good. It will be very comfortable to sleep at night."
Li Lingyuan took a look and nodded in agreement: "Well, it's really good. I'll listen to you."
During the renovation process, the two would also have disagreements over some minor issues. For example, in the design of the TV background wall, Li Lingyuan wanted a simpler style, while Xiao Yi thought a slightly more ornate style would look better.
Li Lingyuan said anxiously, "Xiao Yi, the simple style is warmer and more comfortable to look at. Isn't the ornate style too complicated?"
Xiao Yi patiently explained, "Yuan'er, I think a little more ornateness can elevate the living room's class, and we can be more refined in the details so it doesn't look complicated."
The two argued for a while, neither of them convinced the other. Finally, seeing Li Lingyuan's somewhat aggrieved look, Xiao Yi softened his heart and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. A simple style is a simple style. As long as you're happy."
Seeing Xiao Yi give in, Li Lingyuan felt a bit willful. She walked forward and hugged Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, you actually have a point. How about we combine it and add some simple decorations to make it look simple yet a bit gorgeous?"
Xiao Yi smiled and nodded: "Okay, Yuan'er is smart, now we are all satisfied."
After a period of hard work, the house was finally renovated. Looking at the brand new home, Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan were filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Li Lingyuan filled the balcony with all kinds of flowers and plants. The colorful flowers bloomed in competition, making it look like a small garden. Standing in the garden, she happily said to Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, look, our balcony is so beautiful. We can enjoy a wonderful afternoon here in the future."
Xiao Yi walked forward and hugged her from behind: "Yes, thanks to your careful arrangement. With you by my side, this home is more perfect."
In the evening, the two of them lay on the soft sofa, watching TV. Li Lingyuan leaned in Xiao Yi's arms and said with emotion: "Xiao Yi, I never thought we could have such a warm home in modern times. It feels like a dream."
Xiao Yi gently stroked her hair and said softly, "This is not a dream, Yuan'er. This is the result of our joint efforts. In the future, we will have many more wonderful times."
Li Lingyuan raised her head and looked at Xiao Yi, her eyes full of love: "Well, I believe we will always be happy."
In this warm home, Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan started their sweet life in modern times, which is full of love and warmth, and the days to come are full of infinite possibilities.
