Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

Xiao Yi led Li Lingyuan into a modern art gallery. The walls were covered with imaginative paintings of diverse styles, and unique sculptures were arranged in a staggered arrangement. Standing before a large abstract painting, Xiao Yi tilted his head and said thoughtfully to Li Lingyuan, "Lingyuan, look at this painting. The colliding colors and lines reminds me of our love that has spanned millennia. It may seem chaotic, but it actually holds an endless depth of affection and power." Li Lingyuan approached the painting, examining it closely, her eyes gleaming with curiosity and reflection. She shook her head gently, "I don't quite understand this abstract expression, but I can feel its warmth." Xiao Yi smiled, gently put his arm around her waist, and led her to another painting, an oil painting depicting a tranquil, pastoral scene. "How does this painting make you feel?" he asked softly. Li Lingyuan narrowed her eyes slightly, a look of contentment on her face. "This painting reminds me of the mountains and forests we once strolled through in ancient times. It was peaceful and beautiful." Xiao Yi looked at her with a doting look in his eyes. "Everything you said was wonderful."

After leaving the exhibition hall, they came to a bustling food court, where the aroma of various delicacies intertwined, making people salivate. Xiao Yi took Li Lingyuan to wander in front of each snack stall, introducing like an enthusiastic tour guide: "Lingyuan, here are special snacks from all over the country. Look, that's the spicy skewers from Sichuan, which are both spicy and numb; and this is the Tianjin Jianbing, which is crispy and delicious." Li Lingyuan was infected by the lively atmosphere, his eyes full of excitement: "They all look delicious." Xiao Yi stopped in front of a stall selling stinky tofu and said to Li Lingyuan: "This stinky tofu smells stinky, but tastes delicious. Do you dare to try it?" Li Lingyuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly: "Okay, I believe you." Xiao Yi bought a portion of stinky tofu, picked up a piece with a bamboo stick, blew it gently, and brought it to Li Lingyuan's mouth: "Come, try it." Li Lingyuan took a bite carefully, and the unique flavor of the stinky tofu spread in her mouth. Her eyes lit up: "Well, it's really good." Xiao Yi looked at her satisfied look and smiled happily.

Next, they entered a DIY bakery. The air was filled with the rich aroma of milk and sweet fruit. Xiao Yi, donning an apron and a bow, looked both comical and endearing. He picked up a blender, handed it to Li Lingyuan, and said with a smile, "Lingyuan, let's make a cake together today." Li Lingyuan took the blender and, imitating Xiao Yi, donned an apron. Following the baker's instructions, they first cracked the eggs into a bowl. Xiao Yi stirred skillfully, while Li Lingyuan helped pass the ingredients. Once the mixture was well combined, they added flour, milk, and sugar, and continued stirring. As Xiao Yi stirred, he said, "This is just like our love; it needs constant and careful refinement to make it even sweeter." Li Lingyuan gently patted him, "You, even making a cake can bring these things to mind." After mixing the batter, they poured it into a pan and placed it in the oven. While waiting for the cake to bake, they sat aside, watching the cake in the oven slowly expand and change color, their faces filled with expectant smiles.

After the cake was baked, Xiao Yi put on gloves and carefully took the cake out of the oven. The cake exuded an enticing aroma, and the golden surface looked very tempting. Xiao Yi picked up the piping bag and said to Li Lingyuan: "Lingyuan, let's decorate the cake." Li Lingyuan nodded in agreement. Xiao Yi first squeezed a circle of white cream lace on the cake, and then used fruits to arrange various shapes on the cake. Li Lingyuan watched from the side, and from time to time put forward his own ideas: "Put a strawberry here, and a slice of kiwi there." With their joint efforts, an exquisite fruit cake was born. Xiao Yi picked up a small fork, scooped out a small piece of cake, and put it to Li Lingyuan's mouth: "Lingyuan, try the cake we made by ourselves." Li Lingyuan opened her mouth and ate it, and the sweetness of the cake spread in her mouth: "It's delicious. This is the most special cake I have ever eaten." Xiao Yi looked at her, his eyes full of love: "Because we made this together."

In the evening, they arrived at the city's central square. Many people were strolling, playing, and dancing. Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan found a quiet corner and sat down, watching the people in the square. Xiao Yi stretched, then placed his arm on Li Lingyuan's shoulder and said, "Lingyuan, looking at all these people, I feel how lucky we are to have met and been together in this modern society." Li Lingyuan leaned against him and sighed softly, "Yes, after thousands of years of ups and downs, we must cherish the present moment even more." At that moment, colorful kites fluttered in the sky, like a flock of free-flying birds. Xiao Yi stood up and said to Li Lingyuan, "Lingyuan, let's go fly a kite too." Li Lingyuan stood up as well, following Xiao Yi to the center of the square. Xiao Yi, kite in hand, ran into the wind, and the kite slowly rose into the sky. He handed the kite string to Li Lingyuan, "Lingyuan, you control the kite." Li Lingyuan took the string, a look of nervous excitement on her face. She carefully tugged at the string, raising the kite higher and more steadily. Xiao Yi watched her from the side, a smile on his face, occasionally offering guidance: "Loosen the string a little, so the kite flies farther." With their cooperation, the kite soared higher and higher in the sky, creating a beautiful sight.

As night fell, the lights in the square gradually came on. Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan, hand in hand, strolled along the brightly lit streets. Xiao Yi suddenly stopped and looked at Li Lingyuan, his eyes filled with affection: "Lingyuan, today is another wonderful day. I hope every day in the future can be like this, laughing with you and creating beautiful memories together." Li Lingyuan looked up at him, tears of emotion glittering in her eyes: "Xiao Yi, yes, we will always be happy like this." They hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth and love in this bustling city night, as if the whole world only had the two of them.
