Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

After reuniting, Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan seemed to have integrated a thousand years of longing into every moment of the present. Xiao Yi gently took Li Lingyuan's hand, interlocking their fingers, feeling the warmth of each other's palms, as if confirming the reality of this lost and regained relationship.

"Lingyuan, I don't want to be separated from you for even a moment in the days to come." Xiao Yi's voice was low, with a hint of nostalgia.

Li Lingyuan looked up, his eyes full of smiles, "Okay, then you must keep your word. You must adapt well to this modern world."

Xiao Yi nodded slightly and looked around at the strange and novel modern environment. Although he was a little nervous, he felt at ease as long as Li Lingyuan was by his side.

The two of them arrived at a busy snack street, filled with the aroma of various delicacies. Li Lingyuan, like an enthusiastic tour guide, pulled Xiao Yi through the crowd.

"Xiao Yi, this is stinky tofu. It smells bad but tastes delicious. You must try it." Li Lingyuan said excitedly, with anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Yi frowned slightly as he looked at the dark, peculiar-smelling food. But seeing Li Lingyuan's anticipation, he took the bamboo skewer and took a small bite. Instantly, the unique flavor spread in his mouth, and he couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Li Lingyuan asked impatiently.

Xiao Yi smiled and nodded, "Yeah, it's very special. I've never tasted anything like it before."

Li Lingyuan dragged him to eat skewers again. Xiao Yi looked at the skewers sizzling with oil on the charcoal fire, feeling very curious. Li Lingyuan picked up a skewer, blew on it, and passed it to Xiao Yi's mouth, "Come on, ah..." Xiao Yi blushed slightly and obediently opened his mouth to take a bite. Li Lingyuan looked at his satisfied look and smiled happily.

After finishing their snack, the two of them went to the park. The afternoon sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting patches of light. Xiao Yi gently put his arm around Li Lingyuan's waist, and the two of them strolled along the path.

"Lingyuan, in this modern era, I don't know what I can do for you, but I will study hard and keep up with your pace." Xiao Yi's eyes were full of determination.

Li Lingyuan leaned on his shoulder and said, "It's best if you're by my side. However, if you're willing, I can teach you a lot of modern things."

Back at Li Lingyuan's apartment, Xiao Yi was filled with curiosity. He watched the changing images on the TV and couldn't help but reach out to touch them. Li Lingyuan smiled, opened his phone, and showed him various apps.

"This is a social software that can be used to chat with friends; this is a shopping software that can be used to buy various things." Li Lingyuan explained patiently.

Xiao Yi listened attentively, asking questions from time to time. Seeing his focused look, Li Lingyuan was filled with joy.

In the evening, Li Lingyuan personally cooked a home-cooked meal for Xiao Yi. When she walked out of the kitchen with the steaming hot meal, Xiao Yi couldn't help but stare at her. Under the light, Li Lingyuan's smile was particularly warm, and at that moment, he felt extremely happy.

"Try my cooking. I wonder if it suits your taste." Li Lingyuan looked at Xiao Yi nervously.

Xiao Yi picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, chewing it carefully. "It's delicious, Lingyuan, everything you cook is delicious."

After dinner, the two sat on the sofa, a romantic love movie playing on TV. Xiao Yi gently embraced Li Lingyuan in his arms, and Li Lingyuan looked up at him, her eyes full of love.

"Xiao Yi, do you know? Being with you again, I feel like I'm dreaming." Li Lingyuan said softly.

Xiao Yi lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently, "It's not a dream, Lingyuan, I will always be with you." As he spoke, his hand unconsciously stroked her hair, his movements extremely gentle.

Li Lingyuan blushed slightly and gently hit Xiao Yi's chest, "You only know how to say nice things." But the smile on the corner of her mouth could not be concealed.

It was late at night, and Li Lingyuan felt a little sleepy and yawned. Xiao Yi looked at her and said distressedly: "Lingyuan, you should go to rest."

Li Lingyuan nodded, stood up and walked towards the bedroom. After taking a few steps, he turned back to look at Xiao Yi and said, "Do you... want to come with me?" His face instantly turned red.

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then he understood what she meant. With a burst of joy in his heart, he stood up and walked towards her. The two of them lay on the bed, hugging each other tightly. Xiao Yi's embrace was warm and firm. Li Lingyuan gradually fell asleep in his arms, a sweet smile on her lips.

Xiao Yi looked at Li Lingyuan in his arms, his heart filled with emotion. After thousands of years, they could finally start their sweet life in this modern era. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and whispered, "Lingyuan, I will always protect you in the days to come."

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 afraid she would disappear. Li Lingyuan moved slightly, and Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes, looking at her in his arms, his eyes full of doting.

"Good morning." Li Lingyuan said softly, his voice lazily sounding like someone who had just woken up.

"Good morning, Lingyuan, did you sleep well last night?" Xiao Yi asked gently.

"Yeah, very good." Li Lingyuan nodded with a smile, her cheeks slightly flushed.

After getting up and washing up, Li Lingyuan decided to take Xiao Yi to the mall to buy him some modern clothes. When they arrived at the mall, Xiao Yi was overwhelmed by the dazzling array of goods. Li Lingyuan took him into a men's clothing store, where the clerk greeted him enthusiastically.

"Sir, Madam, is there anything I can help you with?" the clerk asked with a smile.

"Help him pick out some suitable clothes." Li Lingyuan said.

The clerk began to busily select styles. Xiao Yi stood in front of the fitting mirror, looking at the various clothes handed to him by the clerk, feeling a little overwhelmed. Li Lingyuan smiled and picked up a shirt, trying it on Xiao Yi.

"This one should be good, you can try it." Li Lingyuan said.

Xiao Yi walked into the fitting room and came out a few moments later. Li Lingyuan's eyes lit up. The white shirt made Xiao Yi look even more handsome, and the slim fit highlighted his tall figure.

"Wow, Xiao Yi, you look so handsome in this!" Li Lingyuan couldn't help but admire.

Xiao Yi smiled a little embarrassedly, "I think it's a bit strange, but I'm glad you like it."

Then, Li Lingyuan asked him to try on several sets of casual clothes and a suit. Each set looked unique on Xiao Yi, and Li Lingyuan looked at him with satisfaction, as if he was admiring a perfect work of art.

"Buy them all." Li Lingyuan said to the clerk.

Walking out of the clothing store, Xiao Yi was holding a few bags and looking at Li Lingyuan, his heart filled with emotion. "Lingyuan, you are so kind to me."

"Of course, you are the most important person to me." Li Lingyuan smiled and took his arm.

The two of them walked around for a while longer before arriving at a coffee shop. They sat by the window and ordered two cups of coffee. Xiao Yi looked at the exquisite coffee cup in front of him and, imitating Li Lingyuan, took a sip.

"It tastes pretty good." Xiao Yi said.

"This is one of my favorite coffee shops." Li Lingyuan said with sparkling eyes.

Suddenly, a romantic music sounded in the coffee shop. Li Lingyuan's eyes lit up, and he stood up and extended his hand to Xiao Yi. "Xiao Yi, dance with me."

Xiao Yi hesitated; he had never danced in such an environment before. But seeing Li Lingyuan's expectant eyes, he stood up and took her hand. The two of them danced softly to the music in the middle of the coffee shop. The surrounding customers cast envious glances at them, but Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan seemed to be in a world that belonged only to them.

"Xiao Yi, at this moment, I really hope time can stop forever." Li Lingyuan said softly, his eyes full of affection.

"Me too, Lingyuan. No matter what the future holds, I will always be by your side." Xiao Yi hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to integrate her into his life.

After the dance, the two sat back down and continued to enjoy this warm time. In the afternoon, they went to the amusement park again and played various exciting projects. Although Xiao Yi was a little scared of these modern amusement facilities, he still mustered up the courage to try them out in order to accompany Li Lingyuan.

Sitting in the roller coaster seat, Xiao Yi held Li Lingyuan's hand tightly. When the roller coaster started to speed, Xiao Yi couldn't help but shout loudly, while Li Lingyuan smiled excitedly. After the ride ended, Xiao Yi's face was a little pale, but seeing Li Lingyuan's happy expression, he also smiled.

"Xiao Yi, you are awesome!" Li Lingyuan praised.

"As long as it makes you happy, none of this matters." Xiao Yi said.

That evening, the two returned to the apartment, exhausted but satisfied. Li Lingyuan turned on the stereo, playing soft music. Xiao Yi gently hugged her from behind, and the two swayed slowly to the music.

"Lingyuan, I'm really happy today, thank you." Xiao Yi whispered in her ear.

"I'm very happy too, Xiao Yi. We will go to more places together and do more interesting things in the future." Li Lingyuan turned around and said, looking into Xiao Yi's eyes.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Xiao Yi smiled and nodded, then gently kissed Li Lingyuan on the lips. This kiss was filled with deep affection and attachment, as if to absorb all their love for each other. Amidst the warm music, their love grew even sweeter and deeper in modern times.

As time went by, Xiao Yi gradually adapted to modern life with the help of Li Lingyuan. He learned to use various electronic products and also understood modern culture and customs.

One day, Li Lingyuan came home from get off work and saw Xiao Yi busy in the kitchen wearing an apron. She walked into the kitchen curiously and saw her favorite soup cooking in the pot.

"What are you doing?" Li Lingyuan asked in surprise.

"Lingyuan, you work hard every day. Today I will make you a delicious meal." Xiao Yi said with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.

Li Lingyuan was moved. She walked over to Xiao Yi and hugged him from behind. "Xiao Yi, you are so kind."

Xiao Yi turned around and gently scratched her nose. "Go and rest for a while, you'll be fine soon."

Soon, the table was filled with food. Li Lingyuan took a bite and found it tasted quite good.

"Xiao Yi, I didn't expect you to be such a good cook!" Li Lingyuan exclaimed in admiration.

"For you, of course I have to study hard." Xiao Yi said with a happy smile on his face.

After dinner, the two sat on the sofa and planned their weekend trip together.

"Let's go to the beach. I heard the scenery there is beautiful." Li Lingyuan said excitedly.

"Okay, anywhere is fine as long as you want to go." Xiao Yi said, hugging Li Lingyuan in his arms.

On the weekend, the two of them went to the beach. The sun shone on the golden sand, and the waves gently lapped against the shore. Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan walked hand in hand on the beach, leaving behind a trail of footprints.

"Xiao Yi, look at the sea, it's so beautiful." Li Lingyuan exclaimed as he looked at the endless sea.

"No matter how beautiful I am, I am not as beautiful as you." Xiao Yi looked at her affectionately and said.

Li Lingyuan smiled and pushed him, "You just like to talk nonsense." But her heart was full of sweetness.

They spent the entire day playing at the beach, building sandcastles and collecting shells, feeling as if they had returned to their childhood. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sea orange-red. Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan sat on the beach, quietly gazing at the beautiful scenery.

"Xiao Yi, I think my current life is what I have always longed for." Li Lingyuan said, leaning on Xiao Yi's shoulder.

"Me too, Lingyuan. No matter what happens in the future, I will face it with you." Xiao Yi held her hand tightly and said firmly.

In the modern world a thousand years later, Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan's sweet life is like the never-ending sunset on the seashore, warm and beautiful. They will go through every spring, summer, autumn and winter hand in hand, continuing their romantic chapter.
