Chapter 1564 Capture
The sun shines through the sparse leaves, mottled with golden light and shadow, and the laziness of the autumn afternoon seems to have become so comfortable.
Zhou Chen and Li Xiaoyue were sitting on the stone steps beside the river in the park. Li Xiaoyue held Zhou Chen's arm and rested her head on Zhou Chen's shoulder, enjoying the leisurely afternoon together.
After they confirmed their relationship, their relationship quickly heated up. As long as they had time, they would find ways to stay together, especially on their days off, they wanted to stay together all day long.
Except for the fact that I haven't broken through the last step yet, I have experienced all the other embarrassing things.
Talking about love is not just about talking, but also about taking practical actions. This is a necessary step for the relationship to heat up.
Li Xiaoyue leaned on Zhou Chen's shoulder, her eyes slightly narrowed, like a lazy kitten.
Zhou Chen played with Li Xiaoyue's delicate little hand with one hand. His movements were gentle and comfortable, making Li Xiaoyue even more lazy and enjoyable.
After a while, Zhou Chen told her about his resignation, which surprised Li Xiaoyue.
"So fast?"
"It's not that fast. In fact, our company is very disgusting. They have been trying to make me resign, so that they don't have to pay compensation. But how can I let them get what they want? After several years of hard work,
, I couldn’t let it go to waste, so I spent these days fighting with them to be patient, but in the end they couldn’t bear it anymore and cashed in all the compensation and options that were due to me.”
"Oh, congratulations on getting rid of that torturous job."
Li Xiaoyue didn't care about resignation and compensation. What she cared about was that Zhou Chen no longer had to work overtime and stay up late like before.
"Then what are your plans next?"
"I have no plans at the moment. I'm going to take a good rest for a while, and then I'll spend more time with you."
Li Xiaoyue raised her head and gave her a sweet kiss.
"Happy, love you."
Zhou Chen also held her face and kissed her deeply.
"I'm also planning to go to Xiangjiang in the near future and open an account there. I can also make some investments in the future. After all, I can't just sit back and have nothing."
Li Xiaoyue asked doubtfully: "You can also invest, but even if you do investment, why do you go to Xiangjiang to open an account?"
"Because I'm going to try foreign markets. It will be easier to open an account there. Of course, it's just a way to open an account. I mainly want to take you to travel to Xiangjiang to relax. Didn't we say it before? We can talk about it.
Just take a trip.”
Li Xiaoyue suddenly sat upright and looked at Zhou Chen anxiously and expectantly.
"are you serious?"
"certainly."
Zhou Chen gently touched her soft cheek and said solemnly: "What I said to you was not to please you according to your wishes, but to tell the truth sincerely. I hope to be with you."
We travel together arm in arm, I think the best scenery in the world is where you are."
Li Xiaoyue didn't have much experience in love, and she was a sentimental person. Now that she heard such disgusting love words from Zhou Chen, her whole body fell into despair.
She directly proved her happiness and joy with her actions. She hugged Zhou Chen's head and gave Zhou Chen a long kiss that lasted two minutes.
"Na Juan, I really, really like you so much."
Burying herself in Zhou Chen's arms, Li Xiaoyue held Zhou Chen tightly for a long, long time.
"Then when are we going?"
Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, but then he responded: "We can go when you are free, but it may take some time to get back and forth, so we have to prepare in advance."
Li Xiaoyue murmured to herself: "To go to such a far place, I have to prepare in advance, but the company will definitely not be able to grant me so many days of vacation. Should I just resign? No, since I want to go out to play, I will definitely have to spend money.
, you still have to make enough money first, and then you can have fun there."
Zhou Chen said: "You don't have to worry about money, I..."
"Don't."
Li Xiaoyue interrupted Zhou Chen and said with a serious expression: "Since we are going out together, we can't all use your money. We will pay together."
She is a very independent person. Although she is in love with Zhou Chen, she is not prepared to become Zhou Chen's vassal and use Zhou Chen for everything. Instead, she regards Zhou Chen as a partner who can rely on Zhou Chen emotionally.
But Zhou Chen can't just let Zhou Chen bear the burden in life.
She has her own hands and feet, and can make money on her own. She doesn't have to worry too much about the usual food and drinks, but going out for fun is a big expense, and she can't help but pay for it.
Zhou Chen knew what kind of person Li Xiaoyue was, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I will listen to you, and we will pay for it together."
In fact, when you go to Xiangjiang, as long as you don't buy those luxury goods and don't be deceived into spending randomly, you won't spend too much money if you just eat, drink and have fun.
"I need to apply for a Hong Kong and Macao pass to go to Xiangjiang. I have a registered permanent residence in Beijing, so I can apply for it directly. How about you."
Na Juan graduated from Peking University and was a graduate student at Tsinghua University. He had worked in a major Internet company for many years and bought a house. Naturally, he already had a registered permanent residence in Beijing.
But he didn't know much about Li Xiaoyue's situation. He only knew that Li Xiaoyue went to university in the capital, but he didn't know anything about his household registration.
Li Xiaoyue was a little troubled: "My registered residence is not in Beijing, so I have to go back to my hometown?"
She has never done anything before, nor has she been abroad, so she doesn’t know much about these things.
Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "That's not necessary. It can be done in another place. I'm just asking. When the time comes, we can do it together and we can arrange a family visit that can last for fourteen days."
Zhou Chen is very good at obtaining documents such as passports and Hong Kong and Macao passes. Although he has no relatives in Hong Kong and Macao, he can have them if he wants. Problems that can be solved with money are not a problem for him.
"OK."
Li Xiaoyue didn't know much about this, but seeing that Zhou Chen didn't take it seriously, he didn't care much.
"It's a bit too hot. Let's go and go shopping in the mall."
Zhou Chen naturally had no objection and took a walk in the park with Li Xiaoyue on his arm.
In the evening, Zhou Chen wanted to take her out for dinner, but she suddenly said: "Don't go to the restaurant today. Save some money, and let's buy groceries and cook them at home."
"Saving money?"
Zhou Chen was dumbfounded. This was not something Li Xiaoyue would say. She was a typical drunk today.
Li Xiaoyue said coquettishly: "What are you looking at? I like to play, but I don't have any plans. We have agreed to go to Xiangjiang, so we must have some plans."
Zhou Chen smiled and pinched her face. After all, they had known each other for a short time and had not communicated in depth. Neither of them were particularly familiar with each other.
Li Xiaoyue is right. Her parents died when she was in high school. Since then, she has lived alone, from high school to college, and worked after graduation.
If she really didn't have any plans and foresight, how could she possibly survive in a high-consumption place like Beijing.
Although her food, drink and entertainment can only be regarded as low-end consumption, in the capital, even low-end consumption is much higher than in ordinary cities.
Not to mention anything else, just renting a house, even if it is a shared house, costs thousands of dollars a month. Buying Hanfu, playing script killing, eating and drinking, etc., even if you don't buy good ones, it is still a big expense.
.
What Li Xiaoyue in the TV series shows the most is her Buddhist-like, non-competitive character, but it also shows from the side that she is a person with strong working ability, but she doesn't have much ambition, is too chic, and doesn't look at the future.
, so many people think that she may not be reliable and has not been severely beaten by society.
But think about it on the other hand, as a young girl who has no parents and has lived alone in a big city like Beijing for many years, how could she not have been severely beaten by society and not experienced hardships?
Things interfere with it, so I just go my own way and live the life I like.
Girls like Li Xiaoyue are very common among young people born in the 2000s, but behind their coolness is their parents supporting them, while behind Li Xiaoyue's coolness, it is she who carries the burden herself.
You may dislike her lifestyle and think she is unrealistic and too idealistic;
But she has to admit that right now, even for many years to come, she can live freely and comfortably.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go buy groceries and then go home to cook them."
"Then let's go. There is a big vegetable market over there at my house. Let's..."
"etc."
Zhou Chen interrupted Li Xiaoyue and frowned: "You said we should go to your place to do it? That's not good. After all, it's a rental house and you have tenants who share the house. It's not convenient to go there to cook. Otherwise, you'd better go there.
In my case, although I haven’t cooked much at home, the kitchen supplies are all new and usable.”
"Go to your place?"
Li Xiaoyue looked suspicious. Although what Zhou Chen said was true, she lived in a shared house with a woman. It was really inconvenient for her to bring Zhou Chen there to cook.
But Zhou Chen said that he did what he did, and she couldn't help but wonder if Zhou Chen had another purpose.
