Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

Li Lingyuan and Xiao Yi huddled on the sofa, watching TV intermittently, their minds completely distracted by the show. Li Lingyuan's slender fingers gently stroked Xiao Yi's palm, a sly smile playing at the corner of her mouth. She looked up at Xiao Yi, her eyes full of provocation and expectation.

"Xiao Yi, you said you were so powerful in ancient times, proficient in poetry, songs, martial arts and strategies. How come in modern times, you can't even beat me in a simple video game?" Li Lingyuan teased with a hint of pride in his voice.

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, grabbed her disruptive hand, and pulled her closer, his warm breath spraying on her ear. "That's just because I don't want to play around. If I get serious, there's no chance of you winning."

Li Lingyuan's face flushed slightly. She gently broke free from Xiao Yi's hand and sat up straight. "Oh, you're not afraid of getting your tongue tangled when you brag. If you're brave, let's play another round right now."

"Come on, who's afraid of who?" Xiao Yi also became interested. He picked up the game controller beside him, and a hint of confidence and determination flashed in his eyes.

The two resumed the game. Li Lingyuan stared at the screen intently, operating the game nimbly with her fingers and shouting from time to time: "Quick, quick, left, left." Xiao Yi seemed more calm, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He responded to Li Lingyuan's attacks slowly, but in his heart he was secretly thinking about how to beat her.

"Haha, I won again. You are really my defeated opponent." Li Lingyuan jumped up excitedly, with a gleam of victory in his eyes.

Xiao Yi shook his head helplessly, pretending to be depressed and said: "Forget it, forget it, I'm not in a good state today, so I'll let you go for now."

Li Lingyuan walked to Xiao Yi, sat down, and leaned gently on his shoulder, "Okay, okay, don't be discouraged, I know you are giving in to me." Her voice was gentle and sweet, and her eyes revealed a hint of heartache and comfort.

Xiao Yi put his arm around her shoulders and held her tightly in his arms, "Yuanyuan still understands me." He gently kissed her forehead, his eyes full of doting.

The two of them snuggled together quietly, enjoying this moment of tranquility and sweetness. After a while, Xiao Yi suddenly remembered something. He gently pushed Li Lingyuan away, stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and searched for something.

"What are you looking for?" Li Lingyuan asked curiously.

"Found it." Xiao Yi pulled out an ancient book from the bookshelf and walked back to the sofa to sit down. "I have memorized this Book of Songs since ancient times. I will read it to you today."

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Lingyuan's eyes. She leaned against Xiao Yi and listened quietly to his magnetic voice reciting those ancient and beautiful poems: "The orioles are singing on the island in the river. The beautiful lady is the ideal match for the gentleman..."

Listening to Xiao Yi's recitation, Li Lingyuan seemed to have traveled back to ancient times. She closed her eyes, immersed in the poetic atmosphere, and felt an inexplicable emotion and happiness in her heart.

"Xiao Yi, do you think our love will be passed down through the ages like these ancient poems?" Li Lingyuan asked softly, with a hint of yearning and longing in his eyes.

Xiao Yi put down the book in his hand and gently held her hand. "Of course, our love has spanned thousands of years and will surely stand the test of time and become an eternal legend."

Li Lingyuan raised her head and looked into Xiao Yi's eyes. The deep affection in his eyes made her heart tremble. She stood up slightly and took the initiative to kiss Xiao Yi on the lips. Their lips pressed tightly together, as if time had stopped at this moment.

After a long time, the two slowly separated. Li Lingyuan's face was filled with a happy smile. She gently patted Xiao Yi's chest and said, "You only know how to say sweet words to make me happy."

"What I said is all true." Xiao Yi said seriously.

"Okay, okay, I get it." Li Lingyuan said with a smile, "By the way, I bought some ingredients for making a cake today. Let's make a cake together."

"Make a cake?" Xiao Yi was slightly stunned, then nodded, "Okay, but I've never made it before, you have to teach me well."

The two of them went to the kitchen. Li Lingyuan put on an apron, placed the ingredients on the table one by one, and began to explain the steps of making a cake to Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi listened carefully like a serious student, nodding from time to time.

"First, we need to beat the eggs into a bowl, then add appropriate amount of white sugar and stir evenly with a whisk." Li Lingyuan said as he demonstrated.

Xiao Yi followed her example, picked up the egg beater, and began to stir the eggs. However, his movements seemed a bit clumsy, and the egg liquid splashed everywhere.

"Oh, be careful." Li Lingyuan said with a smile, walked over, held his hand, and helped him stir it.

With the help of Li Lingyuan, the egg liquid was finally mixed. Next, Li Lingyuan taught Xiao Yi how to sift in the flour and how to add milk, and Xiao Yi learned it very well.

"Okay, now we need to pour the mixed batter into the mold and then bake it in the oven." Li Lingyuan said.

Xiao Yi carefully poured the batter into the mold, put it in the oven, and set the time and temperature. The two stood in front of the oven, quietly watching the cake slowly expand in the oven, and a sweet aroma filled the air.

"It feels so magical that such a delicious cake can be made with such simple ingredients." Xiao Yi exclaimed.

"Yes, try the cake I made later, I guarantee you will be full of praise for it." Li Lingyuan said proudly.

When the time came, Xiao Yi couldn't wait to open the oven and take out the baked cake. The golden cake exuded an enticing aroma, making people salivate.

Li Lingyuan put the cake on the table, picked up a knife, cut it into two pieces, and handed one to Xiao Yi, "Try it."

Xiao Yi took the cake and took a bite. "Mm, delicious. Yuanyuan's cooking skills are really great."

Li Lingyuan looked at his satisfied expression and felt sweet in her heart, "If it tastes good, eat more."

The two sat at the table, eating cake and sharing their stories. Their laughter echoed throughout the room. Their sweet life continued...
