Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

Chapter 266

After their fruitful experience at the pet-themed creative market, Li Lingyuan and Xiao Yi became more enthusiastic about exploring new pet-related activities. One day, Li Lingyuan came across a unique piece of news on a local lifestyle forum: a remote mountain town was hosting a unique "Pets and Nature in Harmony" themed event. The event featured a variety of activities, including pet hiking, nature education, and creative outdoor photography sessions with pets and their owners. This event not only allowed pets to connect with nature, but also fostered a stronger bond between pets and owners, while also encouraging people to protect the natural environment and live harmoniously with their pets.

Li Lingyuan excitedly told Xiao Yi the news, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Xiao Yi, look at this activity! It seems so interesting! How about we bring Yueyue to participate? Let her experience the beauty of nature too."

Xiao Yi came over and read the activity introduction carefully, an interested expression on his face. "It sounds really interesting. Yueyue will probably enjoy running and playing in the mountains and forests. But the journey is a bit far, so we need to prepare in advance."

The two immediately began planning their trip. Li Lingyuan oversaw the preparation of Yueyue's outdoor gear, from a comfortable harness and lightweight water bottle to a warm blanket. Xiao Yi researched the route and booked accommodations in the small town during the trip. After a busy period, everything was ready, and they embarked on their journey to the mountain town with Yueyue.

Along the way, Yueyue, perched in her pet crate, curiously gazed out the window at the ever-changing scenery, meowing excitedly from time to time. Li Lingyuan, sitting in the back seat, gently stroked Yueyue's head and said tenderly, "Yueyue, we're going to play in the mountains soon. There are so many new things waiting for you to discover."

After several hours' drive, they finally arrived at the mountain town. Fresh air greeted them, and the surrounding green hills created a tranquil and beautiful scene. Many people with their pets had already gathered in the town, eagerly anticipating this intimate encounter with nature.

The first activity was a pet hiking trip through the woods. Li Lingyuan put Yueyue in a small harness and leash, and together with Xiao Yi, they joined the group as they set off into the forest. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating patches of light. The ground was covered with thick, fallen leaves, which rustled underfoot. Yueyue excitedly ran and rolled in the leaves, stopping occasionally to smell the wildflowers along the roadside and curiously gaze at the birds hopping in the trees.

"Xiao Yi, look at Yueyue. It's as happy as a child who has just discovered the new world." Li Lingyuan said to Xiao Yi with a smile, his eyes full of doting on Yueyue.

Xiao Yi took out his camera and recorded Yueyue's adorable moment. "Yeah, she doesn't usually have the chance to play like this in the city."

During the hike, the guide would stop periodically to explain the flora and fauna of the forest. Li Lingyuan and Xiao Yi listened attentively, while also guiding Yueyue to observe the interesting creatures. Yueyue seemed particularly interested in a butterfly perched on a flower. She stared intently at it, her little claws occasionally reaching out to catch it.

"Yueyue, those are butterflies. Don't catch them. We should protect nature together with them," Li Lingyuan said softly to Yueyue. Yueyue seemed to understand her words, retracted her claws, and continued to follow them.

After a morning of hiking, everyone arrived at an open meadow in the forest, where a nature science activity would begin. Staff set up tables and chairs, displayed various specimens and images, and vividly explained natural ecosystems and the role of pets within them. Li Lingyuan and Xiao Yi listened with fascination, peppering the audience with questions. Yueyue, meanwhile, lay at Li Lingyuan's feet, occasionally glancing up at the people around her, seemingly also attentively listening.

"Xiao Yi, I think this kind of activity is really meaningful. It not only allows Yueyue to get close to nature, but also allows us to better understand how to live in harmony with nature." Li Lingyuan said with emotion.

Xiao Yi nodded in agreement, "Yes, and with this knowledge, we can take better care of Yueyue and make her life healthier."

After the nature education session, the much-anticipated outdoor creative photography session featuring pets and their owners began. Li Lingyuan and Xiao Yi found a beautiful spot surrounded by blooming wildflowers and a gurgling stream. Li Lingyuan pulled out some pre-prepared props from his backpack, such as colorful balloons and a cute little hat, and meticulously dressed Yueyue.

"Xiao Yi, don't you think Yueyue is cute like this? She looks like a forest elf." Li Lingyuan put a hat with small flowers on Yueyue's head and said with a smile.

Xiao Yi adjusted the camera angle. "So cute, Lingyuan, guide Yueyue and make her strike a nice pose."

Li Lingyuan picked up a small toy and waved it in front of Yueyue, "Yueyue, look here and smile." Yueyue was attracted by the toy, raised her head, her eyes sparkling, and her cute look was perfectly captured by Xiao Yi.

They then took many more fun photos, including one of Yueyue chasing colorful balloons, one of Yueyue and Li Lingyuan playing by the stream, and one of Xiaoyi holding Yueyue among the flowers. Each photo captured their joyful moments and the beautiful scene of them being one with nature.

In the evening, as the event drew to a close, everyone gathered in the town square to share the day's achievements and joy. Li Lingyuan held Yueyue in his arms, a happy smile on his face. "Today was truly a joyful day, and Yueyue had a blast!"

Xiao Yi put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Yes, this is an unforgettable experience. We can bring Yueyue to places like this more often in the future so that she can experience different natural scenery."

Li Lingyuan and Xiao Yi returned to their booked B&B, exhausted but satisfied. Yueyue, also exhausted from playing, curled up in her little nest and fell asleep as soon as she got back to her room. Li Lingyuan and Xiao Yi sat by the window, gazing at the tranquil nightscape of the small town and reminiscing about the day.

"Xiao Yi, how many wonderful adventures like this will Yueyue and I have in the future?" Li Lingyuan turned to look at Xiao Yi, his eyes full of longing.

Xiao Yi gently held her hand and said, "There will be many, many more. As long as we want, every trip can become a beautiful memory."

Li Lingyuan leaned on Xiao Yi's shoulder and said, "Yes, I believe it. Being with you and Yueyue, I am full of expectations for the future."

Late at night, Li Lingyuan and Xiao Yi finished washing up and lay down on the bed. Li Lingyuan looked at Xiao Yi sideways, the moonlight shining through the window onto his face, making his outline even softer. She couldn't help but gently caress Xiao Yi's face, her heart full of love.

Xiao Yi opened his eyes and looked at Li Lingyuan's affectionate gaze, with a smile on his face. "Why aren't you sleeping yet, baby?"

Li Lingyuan said softly, "I just feel so happy. I can't help but want to look at you a little longer. Today's activities, and every moment with you and Yueyue, make me feel so precious."

Xiao Yi held her in his arms, "Me too, Lingyuan. You and Yueyue are the most beautiful things in my life. I will always protect you."

As he spoke, Xiao Yi lowered his head and gently kissed Li Lingyuan on the lips. This kiss was filled with deep affection and attachment, as if to convey their love to each other's hearts. After the kiss, Li Lingyuan's cheeks flushed. She snuggled tightly in Xiao Yi's arms, feeling his warmth and heartbeat, and gradually fell asleep.

In this peaceful mountain town, Li Lingyuan, Xiao Yi, and Yueyue spent a wonderful time filled with love and joy. And their story, like these rolling mountains, will continue in the days to come, filled with more unknown surprises and sweetness.
