Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

"Alright, please wait a moment, gentlemen, it will be right there."

The tea was served first. Lan Xichen picked up the teapot, poured her a cup, and then poured one for himself.

"Have some tea!"

Li Shuang took it, took a sip, and said, "This tea is so-so."

Lan Xichen smiled and said, "Just have this for now. We'll eat more when the food comes."

“Hmm, I just heard someone passing by say there’s a lantern festival tonight, let’s go check it out later.” Li Shuang’s eyes were full of interest.

Seeing her like this, Lan Xichen couldn't refuse and nodded with a smile: "Okay, then let's go."

His tone and eyes were full of doting affection. Li Shuang cupped her face in her hands and said, "Lan Xichen, how can anyone not be attracted to you when you're like this!"

Xiao Qi jumped out: "Host, have you changed your approach? You can even flirt now?"

"Go away, go away. I worked so hard to create this atmosphere, don't ruin it," Li Shuang said disdainfully.

"Okay." Xiao Qi silently ran to the next room.

Lan Xichen smiled and said, "I only hope to attract you!"

“Of course, after all, it’s always hard to resist a beautiful woman,” Li Shuang nodded and said.

Their words were a clear statement, and when their eyes met, the air was filled with a pink atmosphere.

During the meal, Lan Xichen even served Li Shuang some food, and seeing her eat it all, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

When Lan Xichen inadvertently glanced at the crowd outside the window, he thought of Wangji and his uncle, and his smile faded.

Li Shuang glanced at his expression and asked, "Are you worried about the situation at Cloud Recesses?"

Lan Xichen nodded, his eyes filled with self-reproach: "I don't know how they are now. As the sect leader, I didn't face this together with them."

"Don't think too much about it. Try to think positively. We'll get our revenge when we have the chance," was all she could say to comfort you.

In this world, I can't dominate everyone; my strength doesn't allow it.

He perked up and said, "Well, now that we're out here, I can't let you lose your enthusiasm."

“We’ll go see the lantern festival later, it’s very lively, then you won’t have time to think about it,” Li Shuang said.

"it is good!"

After leaving the restaurant, the two headed towards the street where the lantern festival was being held. The street was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and many vendors had set up stalls, making it look very lively.

Li Shuang held Lan Xichen's hand—not his arm, but their hands.

They squeezed into the crowd and each picked out a lantern they liked.

Then, as they strolled along, Lan Xichen even picked out a pear blossom hairpin for her and put it in her hair bun.

"It's not expensive, but it suits you very well. When the opportunity arises, I'll prepare more jewelry for you," Lan Xichen said earnestly.

Li Shuang touched the hairpin in her hair and said with a smile, "Okay, I also have a gift for you."

Lan Xichen looked at her with anticipation and asked with a smile, "What is it?"

Li Shuang took off the bell from her waist, untied one, and tied it around his waist.

"Don't take it off!" Pear Frost said with a mischievous grin.

Knowing the Lan family rules, her actions were still wicked.

Lan Xichen picked up the bell, stroked it, and then smiled helplessly: "Alright, even if I'm punished, I'll still wear it!"

He wondered how his uncle and Wangji were doing. At this moment, he would rather be punished in the Cloud Recesses.

Li Shuang smiled contentedly: "Let's go, let's release the lanterns!"

When they arrived at the crowded riverbank, they found a secluded spot and squatted down.

Li Shuang took out a pen and wrote on the lantern.

Do you want to write it?

Lan Xichen read what she wrote and his heart was filled with warmth. He took the pen and wrote something as well.

Li Shuang looked at the words on the lantern. She had written: "May the lanterns always shine, and may the years be peaceful and healthy."

His inscription read, "May this moment be beautiful, and may it forever remain in my heart."

The two of them put the lanterns into the water together and watched them float away.

Lan Xichen stood up, extended his hand to her, and said gently, "Get up!"

A fair and lovely little hand was placed in his large, well-defined hand.

He slightly tightened his grip on her hand, and Li Shuang stood up with his help, when suddenly her foot stepped on a pebble.

She leaned towards him, and Lan Xichen quickly caught her.

"Are you alright?" His voice was filled with concern.

"It's nothing, I just slipped." Li Shuang placed her hand on his waist and casually touched it. Hmm, the muscles were firm.

She smiled slightly, realizing that falling in love does indeed lower one's IQ.

How could a cultivator be tripped up by a small pebble?

Lan Xichen froze at her movements, but thankfully she released him quickly.

He withdrew his arm from hers and helped her stand up.

"I'll hold your hand so you don't trip over again," Lan Xichen said without changing his expression.

Li Shuang chuckled inwardly; he had finally realized what was happening.

"Okay, let's go buy some snacks to take back. I have a younger brother who loves to eat."

Xiao Qi sneezed next door and muttered to herself, "It must be because the host misses me!"

Lan Xichen looked at her and said, "You also have a younger brother?"

Li Shuang nodded seriously: "Yes, besides cultivating, I also have to take care of him on weekdays!"

"Then I'll send you more food and supplies later to lighten your burden," Lan Xichen said with a smile.

"Lan Xichen, you're so kind!" Li Shuang gave him a "good guy" card.

Lan Xichen smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's all what I should do."

Li Shuang smiled, in a good mood, and scratched his palm with her hand, only to have him hold her hand tightly.

The two of them swept through the area, carrying large and small bags, and returned to the pear tree space.

"You must be tired from walking today, so get some rest soon!" Li Shuang said, watching his retreating figure.

He put his things down and turned to walk towards her.

Li Shuang was leaning against the door, watching him walk in, and the two exchanged a glance.

He walked up to Li Shuang, who reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Lan Xichen glanced at her, a smile in his eyes, and patted her head, saying, "Alright, you should rest early too. Don't cultivate today; you've already done your best."

Li Shuang nodded and moved closer to him. A faint scent of pear blossoms wafted into his nostrils, which Lan Xichen found very pleasant; it was his favorite scent right now.

He unconsciously reached out and put his arm around her waist, looking down at her for a long while.

Looking at those moist lips, he couldn't help but slowly move closer and gently bite her lips.

Li Shuang parted her lips slightly, and the two kissed.

After a while, Lan Xichen released Li Shuang with restrained eyes.

Looking into her clear eyes, glistening with tears, he glanced at them once and dared not look again.

"Go in!" Lan Xichen's voice became a little hoarse.

Li Shuang blinked and smiled, saying, "See you tomorrow!"

Lan Xichen nodded and watched her enter the room.

He stood there for a while, then realized it was still a bit hot.
