Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

Sunlight streamed through the cracks in the window, gently shimmering on Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan's faces, as if draping them with a golden veil. Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was Li Lingyuan's sleeping face, as peaceful as a baby. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up, his eyes filled with endless tenderness and love. Xiao Yi gently raised his hand, afraid to disturb her sweet dream, and with his fingertips, carefully traced her contours, from forehead to eyebrows, from nose to lips, every detail of her body captivating him.

Li Lingyuan seemed to feel his gaze, her eyelids trembling slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. There was still a hint of sleep in her eyes, and when she saw Xiao Yi looking at her intently, her cheeks instantly flushed, like a rose blooming in the morning. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Her voice was lazily and shy, like a spring breeze, gently blowing through Xiao Yi's heart. Xiao Yi smiled, gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear, and said gently: "Because you are the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen in my life, and every glance is enough for me."

The two stood up and walked into the kitchen hand in hand. Xiao Yi skillfully tied his apron and took out the ingredients from the refrigerator, ready to cook a delicious breakfast for Li Lingyuan. He picked up an egg and gently cracked it on the edge of the bowl. The golden egg liquid flowed into the bowl. His technique was skillful and smooth, as if he was performing an elaborate artistic performance. Li Lingyuan watched from the side, her eyes full of admiration and love. She walked to Xiao Yi, gently took his arm, and said, "Let me help you cut the vegetables." As she said that, she picked up the vegetables on the chopping board and began to cut them carefully. Although her movements were not as skillful as Xiao Yi's, they were full of seriousness and care.

During the cooking process, Xiao Yi turned his head from time to time to look at Li Lingyuan, his eyes full of concern. "Be careful not to cut your hands," he warned. Li Lingyuan felt warm in her heart and responded, "Don't worry, I will be careful." Breakfast was quickly completed with the tacit cooperation of the two. Xiao Yi brought the fried eggs, toasted bread and steaming milk to the dining table, then pulled out a chair for Li Lingyuan and said gentlemanly, "My lady, please eat." Li Lingyuan was amused by him and scolded, "You, when did you become so slick?" Xiao Yi smiled and said, "This is not slick, this is my sincere words to you."

After breakfast, they decided to go on a trip to the countryside. Xiao Yi drove the car, and Li Lingyuan sat in the passenger seat. Along the way, they admired the scenery outside the window, chatting and laughing. Xiao Yi would reach out from time to time, hold Li Lingyuan's hand, and gently stroke her fingers, as if expressing his silent love.

After arriving in the suburbs, they strolled through a sea of ​​flowers. Colorful blossoms bloomed, emitting waves of enchanting fragrance. Xiao Yi leaned over and plucked a pink tulip, gently handing it to Li Lingyuan, saying, "This flower is as beautiful as you." Li Lingyuan took the flower, put it to her nose and sniffed it, a happy smile on her face. "It's so beautiful here, like a paradise on earth," she exclaimed. Xiao Yi held her in his arms and said, "As long as you are here, everywhere is heaven."

They continued walking along the path in the sea of ​​flowers, occasionally encountering a few butterflies dancing among the flowers. Seeing the fondness in Li Lingyuan's eyes, Xiao Yi suggested: "Let's catch butterflies." As he said that, he gently approached a butterfly like a child. Li Lingyuan watched from the side and couldn't help laughing at his appearance. Xiao Yi stretched out his hand carefully and tried to catch the butterfly's wings, but the butterfly was very clever and flew away with a light flash. Xiao Yi looked at Li Lingyuan with some frustration and said: "This butterfly is too naughty." Li Lingyuan smiled and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you can't catch it. What's important is the happy time we spent together."

At noon, they dined at a farmhouse in the suburbs. Xiao Yi ordered local specialties: fresh grilled fish, crispy wild vegetable pancakes, and sweet corn soup. When the meal arrived, Xiao Yi first served Li Lingyuan a bowl of corn soup, blew on it gently, and then handed it to her, saying, "Try this, it's delicious." Li Lingyuan took the bowl, tasted it, and praised it, "Hmm, it's really delicious." Seeing her satisfied expression, Xiao Yi felt a surge of happiness in his heart.

During their meal, they struck up a conversation with the owner of the farmhouse. A warm and hospitable man, he recounted stories of the land and anecdotes from the countryside, which Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan listened to with rapt interest. Li Lingyuan peppered her with questions, her eyes brimming with curiosity. Xiao Yi quietly watched her, finding every expression endearing.

That afternoon, they came to a clear stream. The water gurgled gently, shimmering silver in the sunlight. Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan took off their shoes and stepped into the stream. The cool water flowed past their feet, bringing a gentle chill. Xiao Yi bent down, picked up a flat stone, and threw it into the water. The stone bounced a few times, creating a string of small splashes. "Look, I can skip a stone," Xiao Yi said proudly to Li Lingyuan. Li Lingyuan followed his example, picked up a stone, and tried to skip, but her stone sank directly to the bottom. Xiao Yi smiled, walked over to her, took her hand, and said, "I'll teach you." He patiently guided Li Lingyuan, step by step, from choosing the stone to throwing and the force, each step. After several attempts, Li Lingyuan finally succeeded in skipping a stone. She jumped up in excitement, and the splashing stream water soaked Xiao Yi's clothes. She looked at Xiao Yi a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Xiao Yi looked at her lovingly and said, "It's okay, as long as you are happy."

In the evening, they sat on the grass by the stream, quietly watching the sunset. The sky was dyed orange-red, beautiful and spectacular. Xiao Yi took Li Lingyuan in his arms and said, "I'm really happy today. I hope we can have more times like this in the future." Li Lingyuan leaned into his arms, nodded, and said, "Me too. As long as I'm with you, every day is filled with happiness."

Back home, Xiao Yi filled a tub of hot water for Li Lingyuan and sprinkled it with rose petals. "You've been playing all day, you must be tired. Take a bath and relax," he said. Li Lingyuan walked into the bathroom, looking at the tub full of petals and the rising steam, her heart filled with emotion. She soaked in the water, feeling the fatigue of her body and mind gradually dissipate.

Xiao Yi prepared a cup of hot milk and some snacks for her in the living room. When Li Lingyuan came out of the bathroom, he greeted her and gently dried her hair with a towel. Then he said, "Drink a cup of hot milk and eat something to replenish your energy." Li Lingyuan took the milk and snacks and said, "Thank you, Xiao Yi, you are always so considerate." Xiao Yi smiled and said, "This is what I should do because I love you."

At night, they lay in bed. Xiao Yi hugged Li Lingyuan tightly and whispered in her ear, "Good night, my Lingyuan. May you feel my love even in your dreams." Li Lingyuan closed her eyes in his arms, a happy smile on her lips, and gradually fell asleep. In this modern world, their love was like a sweet river, flowing slowly and never stopping.
