Chapter 158 Sweet
After Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan successfully reunited, they walked hand in hand through the bustling streets of a modern city. Li Lingyuan looked up at Xiao Yi, her eyes full of love and playfulness. She gently shook their hands and said, "Xiao Yi, now that we are in this modern world, we must enjoy this hard-earned time." Xiao Yi smiled dotingly and reached out to gently pinch her nose. "Of course, every day from now on, I will make you happy."
They walked into a busy snack street, and the aroma of various delicacies filled their faces. Li Lingyuan looked around excitedly, and when she saw a stall selling sugar-roasted chestnuts, her eyes lit up, and she pulled Xiao Yi over and ran over. "Xiao Yi, this is delicious, you should try it." She picked up a chestnut, peeled it, and handed it to Xiao Yi's mouth. Xiao Yi lowered his head slightly, held the chestnut in his mouth, and took a light bite. "Well, it's really sweet, but it doesn't seem as sweet as yours." After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Lingyuan tenderly, and gently wiped away the chestnut crumbs that accidentally stained the corner of her mouth with his fingers. Li Lingyuan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she scolded him, "You just like to talk nonsense."
Going forward, there is a small shop selling them. Li Lingyuan looked at the colorful ones and was as excited as a little kid. "Xiao Yi, I want that one." Xiao Yi said nothing and bought the biggest one and handed it to her. Li Lingyuan took it, licked it happily, and then held it in front of Xiao Yi. "You eat it too." Xiao Yi leaned in and took a small bite, but accidentally touched Li Lingyuan's finger. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere instantly became a little ambiguous. Li Lingyuan's heartbeat accelerated. She turned her head away, pretending to concentrate on eating, but she felt like a little rabbit in her heart.
Tired of strolling, they came to a park bench to rest. Xiao Yi put his arm around Li Lingyuan's shoulders and let her lean on him. Li Lingyuan enjoyed the warmth and tranquility and said softly, "Xiao Yi, sometimes I feel like all this is like a dream. We have been through so much, and now we can finally be together safely." Xiao Yi hugged her tightly, "It's not a dream, it's what we worked hard for. No matter what happens in the future, I will never let go of your hand." Li Lingyuan raised her head, looked into Xiao Yi's eyes, and said seriously, "Me too, we will never be apart."
In the evening, the two returned to their cozy little home. Li Lingyuan walked into the kitchen and said, "Today I'll show you my best cooking skills." Xiao Yi smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll watch you here, maybe I can learn a few tricks." Li Lingyuan tied on an apron and began to work. She washed and cut vegetables with skillful movements, and Xiao Yi watched from the side, his eyes full of admiration.
"Xiao Yi, help me get the seasoning." Li Lingyuan called out. Xiao Yi quickly handed her the seasoning and couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek, "Baby, you look so beautiful when you're cooking seriously." Li Lingyuan felt a little embarrassed by the kiss, "Don't make trouble, otherwise the dish won't be cooked well." But the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
Soon, several dishes were served. Li Lingyuan looked at Xiao Yi expectantly, "Try it and see if it suits your taste." Xiao Yi picked up a dish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully. "Hmm, it's delicious, honey, you are a real chef." Li Lingyuan smiled happily, "As long as you like it." As the two ate, they shared interesting stories in life, and laughter echoed in the room.
After dinner, they snuggled up on the sofa and watched TV. A romantic love movie played on the TV. Watching the sweet interactions between the hero and heroine on screen, Li Lingyuan couldn't help but nuzzle into Xiao Yi's arms. Xiao Yi looked down at her and softly asked, "Baby, do you think we can be like them and stay this sweet forever?" Li Lingyuan raised her head and said firmly, "Yes, we will." Xiao Yi smiled and gently stroked Li Lingyuan's hair. "Then let's make a promise. Neither of us can regret it." They extended their pinkies and made a pinky promise, as if to seal a lifelong commitment.
It was late at night, and Li Lingyuan was feeling sleepy. She yawned. Xiao Yi said with concern, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy, baby." He picked up Li Lingyuan, walked to the bedroom, gently placed her on the bed, and covered her with the quilt. Li Lingyuan took Xiao Yi's hand and said, "You should go to sleep soon too." Xiao Yi nodded and kissed her on the forehead. "Okay, I'll go to sleep now." He lay down beside Li Lingyuan and held her tightly in his arms. The two of them gradually fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next morning, sunlight streamed onto the bed through the gaps in the curtains. Li Lingyuan slowly woke up and found herself still in Xiao Yi's arms. His arms were tightly wrapped around her, as if guarding the most precious treasure. Li Lingyuan moved slightly, and Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Li Lingyuan looking at him, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a charming smile, "Good morning, baby." Li Lingyuan smiled back, "Good morning." The two of them just stared at each other quietly, their eyes full of love.
After getting up, Xiao Yi suggested that they go for a morning run together. They changed into sportswear and went to the garden of the community. The air in the early morning was particularly fresh, and the birds were singing happily on the branches. Li Lingyuan ran in front, and Xiao Yi followed closely behind. From time to time, he would speed up to run to her side and hold her hand to run together. "Baby, come on, we must keep living such a vibrant life." Xiao Yi encouraged. Li Lingyuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, with you, I have the motivation to do anything."
After their run, the two went to a nearby breakfast shop. Li Lingyuan looked at the menu, struggling to decide what to order. Xiao Yi smiled and said, "How about a little of everything and we can share?" Li Lingyuan's eyes lit up. "Great idea." So, they ordered a variety of breakfast items, including steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk. While eating, Li Lingyuan accidentally spilled soy milk on her clothes. She was a little annoyed, "Oh, how could I be so careless?" Xiao Yi quickly pulled out a tissue and wiped it for her. "It's okay, just change when you get home, little idiot." Li Lingyuan felt warm at heart as she watched Xiao Yi's serious expression.
After returning home, Li Lingyuan was about to change her clothes. Xiao Yi followed her and hugged her from behind, "Baby, I'll stay here with you while you change, okay?" Li Lingyuan blushed, "Don't make trouble, get out." Xiao Yi smiled and let go of her hand, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."
After changing, Li Lingyuan and Xiao Yi decided to go shopping together. Inside the supermarket, they pushed their shopping carts, weaving through the shelves. Li Lingyuan put any snacks she liked into the cart, while Xiao Yi reminded her, "Don't just buy snacks; buy some healthy ingredients too. I want to eat your cooking." Li Lingyuan stuck out her tongue, "I know, but snacks are a must." Walking to the fruit section, Xiao Yi picked up an apple and carefully selected it. "Honey, this apple looks fresh. You like apples, buy a few more." Li Lingyuan was touched by Xiao Yi's careful selection of fruit.
After returning home from shopping, the two sorted out the things they bought together. Li Lingyuan put the snacks in the cupboard, and Xiao Yi put the ingredients in the refrigerator. After sorting, Xiao Yi hugged Li Lingyuan from behind and whispered in her ear: "Baby, I feel extremely happy doing these ordinary things with you." Li Lingyuan turned around and hugged Xiao Yi, "Me too, as long as I'm with you, I'm happy to do anything."
In the afternoon, the two sat on the balcony, basking in the sun. Li Lingyuan leaned in Xiao Yi's arms, reading a book. Xiao Yi gently stroked her hair, occasionally leaning over to look at the book she was reading. "Baby, what's this book about?" Xiao Yi asked curiously. Li Lingyuan closed the book and told Xiao Yi the story. Xiao Yi listened attentively, occasionally expressing his own opinions. The two of them enjoyed this peaceful and sweet time in the warm sunshine.
In the evening, Li Lingyuan started busying herself in the kitchen again, preparing a sumptuous dinner. Xiao Yi set the table in the living room, lit candles, and placed a bouquet of flowers to create a romantic atmosphere. When Li Lingyuan came out of the kitchen with the dishes, she saw this scene and said in surprise, "Wow, Xiao Yi, what are you doing?" Xiao Yi walked over to her with a smile and took the dishes from her hand, "Baby, today is our special day after our reunion, of course we have to have some sense of ceremony." Li Lingyuan looked at Xiao Yi with emotion, "You are so nice."
The two sat at the dining table, savoring delicious food and drinking red wine. The flickering candlelight illuminated their happy faces. Xiao Yi raised his glass and said to Li Lingyuan, "Baby, cheers to our love and our future." Li Lingyuan also raised her glass and clinked it with him, "Cheers."
After dinner, they took a walk together in the neighborhood. The moonlight cast long shadows on them. Xiao Yi suddenly stopped, looked at Li Lingyuan, and said seriously, "Baby, do you know? Ever since I've been with you, my life has become so beautiful. I want to walk through every spring, summer, autumn, and winter with you." Li Lingyuan's eyes sparkled with tears. "Me too, Xiao Yi. I never want to be separated from you." Xiao Yi hugged Li Lingyuan tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.
After returning home, the two washed up and lay down on the bed. Li Lingyuan looked at Xiao Yi sideways and said, "Xiao Yi, I'm really happy today. Thank you for everything you have done for me." Xiao Yi gently kissed her forehead and said, "Silly, you're welcome. As long as you are happy, I am willing to do anything. Go to sleep, baby, tomorrow will be another beautiful day." Li Lingyuan fell asleep in Xiao Yi's arms with a happy smile, and Xiao Yi looked at her sleeping face, his heart full of longing for the future. He secretly vowed that he would make Li Lingyuan happy like this forever.
