In the novel "Joy of Life," the protagonist wakes up at Li Chengze's residence.

Chapter 341 Warmth

Over the years, I've gone on incognito visits before, but this is the first time we've gone out together so easily.

Li Chengze leaned against the window, lifted the curtain, and let the warm sunlight fall on the two of them, making them feel gentle and cozy.

He leans on you, you lean on her; even though the carriage is so spacious, you still end up sticking together.

Li Chengze carried a fruit platter and fed her grapes. He had bought them from a farmer on the way, and the old man had even praised the two of them for looking like a married couple, which made him very happy.

Without saying a word, he gave her a large sum of silver.

"Chengze, do you know what the most important thing you need to do in the days to come is?"

Li Chengze's eyes darted around as he thought, "Yes, cultivate diligently?"

"Wrong." Tao Jingyang flicked his forehead. "It's: eat well, drink well, play well, sleep well—"

......

The two spent some time experiencing it.

Chasing the Red Sun and Smoke of the Northern Frontier:

Tao Jingyang opened her arms wide, "Wow...what a bright sun, come into my embrace." But it was Li Chengze who embraced her.

Wandering through the small bridges and flowing water of Jiangnan:

"Lotus picking in Jiangnan ~ Lotus ~"

The two were boating on the lake when he listened intently to Tao Jingyang singing, and at the end he couldn't help but praise, "A heavenly voice."

Having tasted the pure white snow of the snowy plateau:

The two, wrapped in ferrets, were building a snowman in the snow when they encountered a roe deer. With a heavy heart, they fed it the carrot they had used as its nose.

Sleeping on the loess hills of the Central Plains:

The sky was yellow, the ground was yellow, and the trees were yellow.

We traversed grasslands, stepped onto sandy beaches, climbed ladders to the clouds, and scaled towering mountains...

I have met different people, encountered different things, wandered through the world for several years, and experienced all aspects of life.

Now, they have returned to Jiangnan and have been living there for quite some time.

Everyone in Jiangnan knows that two families from the capital have built two courtyards side by side, and they are said to be very close.

He looks young; some people saw him when he first arrived. He looks to be no more than twenty years old.

However, even after many years, when I've run into them on the street a few times, they still look to be around twenty years old.

Perhaps he is a spiritual practitioner; it is said that spiritual practitioners do not age like ordinary people.

As for Li Chengze and her family?

Their daily routine involves neighbors coming over to fish in their small pond. Oh, right, the neighbors here refer to Fan Xian and Wan'er, the couple.

It's spring again.

A fish took the bait, and Fan Xian quickly pulled up the fishing rod, saying, "I'll catch two fish to take home and make soup."

This first batch of fish fry was sent by Wu Zhu, but I haven't seen him in a long time. I wonder where he is now.

Tao Jingyang was imitating Jiang Taigong fishing, but he only had a line and no hook. Fan Xian explained to Lin Wan'er:

This person is doing cosplay performance art.

"We can eat here, why bother with all this trouble?" Tao Jingyang winked at Wan'er, who was eating snacks.

Li Chengze didn't go fishing. He sat next to Tao Jingyang, crossed his hands behind his head, and looked up at the peach tree in the courtyard.

He stared at the peach tree for many days, and saw that the peach blossoms stood on the branches, with a few fluttering down with the wind, and coincidentally landing on Li Chengze's brow.

A slight stirring in my heart, as if a light veil covering my heart was slowly dissipating.

"Dream on. Wan'er has been tired from her cultivation lately. One basket each is just right for us." Fan Xian picked up the bamboo basket, took his wife's hand, and walked through the gate back to his own home.

The surroundings were much quieter, and smoke was beginning to rise from the chimneys of houses in the distance.

Li Chengze helped her pack up her fishing rod and affectionately nuzzled her shoulder, asking, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

This is one of the greatest questions in human history.

She thought for a moment, then said, "Let's have hot pot."

"Eating hot pot again, the chef's iron ladle is going to rust."

The chef is quite happy here; the pay is high and the host family is easy to manage.

Delicious.

"Then let's add a fish. Oh, right." Tao Jingyang suddenly remembered something. "Later, let's pick the roses in the yard and make wine. When everyone comes to visit from Kyoto in a while, we can dig them up and drink them."

"Whatever you want, whatever you want." Li Chengze picked the peach blossom that had fallen from her head, held it between his fingers and shook it. "How about we pick this flower and make wine from it?"

Tao Jingyang snatched it away, saying, "The ones on the tree are fine, but I can't."

"Hahahaha..." He tucked the flowers into his pocket. "Peach blossoms from anywhere else won't do. I can't bear to part with them."

"I suppose you are too, otherwise I would have picked all your grapes and left you none for summer."

A gentle breeze suddenly swept by, scattering petals like rain.

"Ah Yang, I love you." Li Chengze whispered to the person.

Li Chengze says this every day.

"I've known it for a long time."

"Then you speak too."

"I love you."

"...I love you too."

Forever and ever, never to be apart.
