Chapter 253 Official Move-in
As night falls, the wind by the river brings a slight chill, but it cannot blow away the warm and ordinary beauty in the air.
The strolling crowd is like a flowing painting, each frame telling a different story: couples snuggle together, fingers interlocked, their eyes gleaming with longing for the future;
Friends walked side by side, sometimes laughing and talking, sometimes whispering, friendship seemed especially precious at this moment;
The couple smiled at each other without saying much, their tacit understanding and deep affection were enough to warm each other's hearts;
There is also the family of three, the children’s laughter is clear and sweet, and the parents’ eyes are full of pampering and happiness.
Not far away, bursts of cheerful music came from the square. The elderly were dancing to the rhythm. Their movements might not be as flexible anymore, but their love and persistence for life made people admire them.
Ye Wanqing closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if she wanted to engrave this tranquility and beauty in her heart forever.
Lin Xuan stood quietly beside her, his eyes as gentle as water. He lowered his head and stared at Ye Wanqing, his deep eyes filled with infinite tenderness.
He slowly stretched out his big hand and gently held Ye Wanqing's hand in his palm. The warm touch like spring sunshine instantly caused ripples in Ye Wanqing's heart.
Ye Wanqing slowly opened her eyes, turned her head to look at Lin Xuan, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I have a follow-up visit tomorrow morning, so I have to go to the hospital."
"What time is it?"
"Ten o'clock."
"Do you need me to accompany you?" Lin Xuan spoke almost at the same time as her.
Ye Wanqing was slightly stunned, and then a hint of surprise and emotion flashed in her eyes: "Can you accompany me?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, their smiles full of tacit understanding and sweetness. Lin Xuan nodded gently: "Of course, why not?"
Ye Wanqing's eyebrows were curved, like the brightest star in the night sky. She stood up gently, tiptoed, and placed a feather-soft kiss on Lin Xuan's thin lips.
At that moment, she seemed to have forgotten what her grandmother once said, "Men with thin lips are heartless", because in her heart, Lin Xuan was the one who was willing to shelter her from the wind and rain and give her endless warmth and support.
After the kiss, Ye Wanqing gently stood up and stretched out her slender fingers to Lin Xuan: "Let's go back."
Lin Xuan looked up at her. The dim street lights made Ye Wanqing's face look particularly soft and beautiful. The soft halo seemed to cover her with a mysterious veil, making her look even more extraordinary.
He reached out and held her small hand, and the moment their fingertips touched, a warm current flowed between them.
Back at the villa, it was still early, not even nine o'clock. Ye Wanqing picked up a glass of warm water and took a sip: "I'm going to take a shower."
She put down the cup and pointed to the watermelon on the table: "I want to eat watermelon after taking a shower."
Lin Xuan took a look at the plump watermelon and smiled dotingly: "Okay, I'll cut it for you right away."
Just then, Qin Huai called. Lin Xuan was busy cutting watermelon, so he turned on the speaker and put the phone aside: "Go ahead."
"Are you with Ye Wanqing?" Qin Huai's voice was full of sarcasm.
"Well, I'll hang up if there's nothing else to do." There was a hint of impatience in Lin Xuan's tone. At this moment, he just wanted to stay quietly with Ye Wanqing.
Qin Huai on the other end of the phone was a little unhappy: "Are you in such a hurry to hang up? Zhang Bai and Qiao Yun have returned to China. They arrived in Beijing yesterday. We want to get together tonight. Are you coming?"
Lin Xuan's movements paused slightly, but he quickly returned to normal: "No, maybe next time."
His relationship with Zhang Bai was indeed average, and he had to accompany Ye Wanqing for a follow-up visit tonight, so he didn't want his plans to be disrupted by the party.
Qin Huai was a little dissatisfied: "No way? The couple finally came back and asked us to get together the next day. Wouldn't it be great if you brought Ye Wanqing to introduce her to them?"
Lin Xuan replied calmly: "We have something to do tomorrow morning."
Qin Huai obviously didn't believe it: "What could be going on? Are you going to get your marriage certificate?"
Lin Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes: "It's more important than getting the marriage certificate."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without hesitation. Qin Huai on the other end of the phone wanted to say something, but only heard a busy tone. He shook his head helplessly: "This guy, isn't he too disrespectful?"
Li Chenfeng asked from the side: "What did Lin Xuan say?"
Qin Huai sighed: "He said he has something more important than getting the marriage certificate tomorrow morning. Isn't that nonsense? We have known each other for so many years, how much time would it take him to have a meal together!"
Li Chenfeng seemed relatively calm: "Lin Xuan said there was something wrong, so it must be something wrong. It's okay, Zhang Bai and the others won't mind."
Qin Huai was still a little unwilling: "Tell me, does Lin Xuan still remember those little things from high school?"
Li Chenfeng thought for a moment and shook his head. "It's been so long, he should have let it go long ago. Besides, although Lin Xuan can be ruthless at times, he knows his priorities."
Qin Huai's dissatisfaction dissipated a little after hearing this. He gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, I'll let him go this time. Let's wait until the next gathering and see what excuses he can come up with!"
After a few seconds of silence, Li Chenfeng finally pulled himself out of his contemplation. He glanced at Qin Huai lightly, a faint smile on his lips: "Old Qin, don't make blind guesses. Lin Xuan is not the kind of person who cares about trivial matters."
Qin Huai sneered when he heard this: "Humph, who knows? That guy is very thoughtful. Maybe he's still holding a grudge against us over that little incident in high school!"
Before he finished speaking, a deep and familiar male voice suddenly interrupted him, with a hint of ridicule: "Hey, isn't this Lao Qin? What are you making up behind my back?"
Qin Huai and Li Chenfeng turned around at the same time, only to see Zhang Bai and Qiao Yun walking towards them hand in hand, their faces filled with the joy of reunion after a long separation.
"Haha, Zhang Bai, don't get me wrong, I wasn't talking about you just now." Qin Huai laughed, trying to hide his embarrassment.
Zhang Bai had been working abroad for the past few years, and it had indeed been several years since they last saw each other. Naturally, when they met again, there were countless words to say and endless emotions to express.
Seeing this, Qiao Yun tactfully found an excuse to go to the bathroom, leaving them some free space.
Qin Huai took the opportunity to explain to Zhang Bai why Lin Xuan couldn't come tonight. Zhang Bai smiled tolerantly when he heard this: "Haha, my notification was indeed a bit sudden. It's normal for Lin Xuan not to come."
Seeing Zhang Bai being so reasonable, Qin Huai's guilt dissipated a little. He no longer mentioned Lin Xuan's affairs, but instead talked to Zhang Bai about his experiences and observations over the years.
On the other side, Ye Wanqing, after taking a shower, was wearing a light pajamas, with water droplets dripping from her hair, looking as fresh and refined as a lotus emerging from the water.
She returned to the room and was surprised to find Lin Xuan already waiting there with a plate of sliced watermelon. The exquisite presentation and delicate knife skills all revealed his care.
Ye Wanqing took a look and couldn't help but smile. That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and warm: "You are so thoughtful. You even cut the watermelon into such small pieces."
Lin Xuan looked at her, his eyes full of doting and tenderness, and he didn't mind her teasing: "I'm just worried that it will be inconvenient for you to eat."
As he spoke, he watched her walk towards the dressing table, then followed her, stood behind her, and gently wiped away a drop of water on the back of her neck, his movements gentle and natural.
Ye Wanqing's body stiffened slightly. She glanced at him through the mirror, a hint of shyness and sweetness flashing in her eyes: "Aren't you going to take a shower? Staying up late is not good for your health."
Lin Xuan also looked at her through the mirror. The two of them looked at each other in the mirror, as if the whole world had stopped.
He leaned over and breathed in the faint fragrance she exuded after taking a shower. The fragrance was like a spring breeze, gently blowing through his heart: "I want to use your shower gel, can I?"
His breath hit Ye Wanqing's face directly, with a bit of heat and deep affection. Ye Wanqing's eyebrows moved slightly, two red clouds appeared on her cheeks, and she smiled and replied:
"Okay, use it."
Lin Xuan looked at her shy expression, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart. He kissed her cheek lightly, as light and gentle as a dragonfly touching the water, then turned and went downstairs, bringing up a bag.
Those were the spare clothes he had specially asked Zhao Yu to prepare. Obviously, he had decided not to sleep in the guest room anymore, but to officially move in here and weave their sweet life together with Ye Wanqing.
