Chapter 1568 Living together, three years in the blink of an eye
Zhou Chen and Li Xiaoyue stayed in Xiangjiang for more than ten days. Zhou Chen took her to many well-known tourist attractions in Xiangjiang, and also ate a lot of local snacks. They even stayed at the Peninsula Hotel for one night. Then Li Xiaoyue felt dissatisfied.
It was too expensive, so I took Zhou Chen and ran away the next day.
Before coming, Li Xiaoyue said she would control her consumption, but when she came, she wanted this and liked that, and she couldn't control it at all.
Of course, Li Xiaoyue paid for most of the things she bought herself, but Zhou Chen also bought some for her.
After being together for a long time, she no longer refused to let Zhou Chen buy things for her like she did at first, because she said that Zhou Chen agreed every time, but he still bought it when he should. Gradually, she got used to it.
, no longer deliberately care about it.
In Zhou Chen's words, if two people have been together for so long, if they still care about each other so much, it will affect their relationship. Everything must go as it should.
"Xiaoyue, what do you think of this? Will Yue Yue like it?"
"It's quite cute. I think she will like it, but didn't you say you can't bring too many things when you go back? It will be very troublesome to check."
"What we bought is not contraband. We will express it directly back when the time comes, saving time and effort."
Although Xiangjiang has not developed very fast in recent years, it is still one of the world's financial centers and one of the top first-tier cities. It is known as the "Pearl of the Orient", "Food Paradise" and "Shopping Paradise".
After staying in Xiangjiang for more than ten days, Li Xiaoyue has truly experienced the food paradise and shopping paradise. These days, she has not stopped talking, so much so that she started to get angry, and two pimples appeared on her fair face.
smallpox.
As for shopping, let alone that. She originally just wanted to visit those cheap mass markets, but Zhou Chen took her to many high-end shopping brand flagship stores, which really broadened her knowledge.
Of course, the price figures of those luxury goods also left her stunned.
Fortunately, she has a clear understanding of herself and never pursues these things. Even if Zhou Chen wants to buy it for her, she is indifferent and firmly disagrees.
The most expensive thing about her body was the bag she carried, which cost more than 8,000 yuan. Zhou Chen bought it for her. Soon after, she also spent a month's salary to buy Zhou Chen a watch worth several thousand yuan.
She really has no feeling for these luxuries. To put it in a tacky way, she thinks these are external things and not as important as the food in her mouth.
Zhou Chen bought gifts for Na Wei, Shen Lin, and Yue Yue, and also bought gifts for Shen Lei and Xie Meilan.
No matter what happens in the future, after all, we are still relatives now, we are all in the same city, and we see each other every now and then. Since we have come here, since we have brought them, it is not troublesome to bring two more by the way.
The things he bought were all shipped directly by Zhou Chen by express delivery, while he and Li Xiaoyue traveled lightly. They were looking forward to it when they came, had fun when they played, and were very happy when they went back.
This trip to Xiangjiang can be said to be a worthwhile trip.
After Zhou Chen and Li Xiaoyue returned to the capital, they immediately went home and had a good rest for a day. Zhou Chen was fine these days, but Li Xiaoyue was always more excited. She was happy and tired after eating, drinking and playing during the day, and was equally happy and tired at night.
, after flying for several hours, how could I not be tired?
Zhou Chen didn't torment Li Xiaoyue that night, but just held her to sleep. Li Xiaoyue slept for more than ten hours before she opened her eyes in a daze.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Zhou Chen lying next to her playing with her mobile phone. A happy smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Na Juan, give me a hug."
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and hugged her to kiss her. Li Xiaoyue shook her head: "I haven't brushed my teeth yet."
Zhou Chen still pecked it and said with a smile: "I don't mind it."
Li Xiaoyue moved her body and hugged Zhou Chen, bringing her body closer. As she moved, the quilt slipped off, revealing her white and smooth neck and shoulders.
"I had a dream. I felt like I had a lot of dreams, but I just couldn't remember them. The only thing I remembered was that you were in the dream. We seemed to be in the classroom together, and you sat behind me and bullied me."
Zhou Chen showed a wicked smile and whispered in Li Xiaoyue's ear: "I don't just bully you in dreams, even in reality, I will bully you, bullying you every day and night."
Li Xiaoyue bit Zhou Chen in shame and said, "I will bite you to death if I tell you this as soon as I wake up."
Zhou Chen's play made Li Xiaoyue blush with shame and twist her body uncomfortably.
"Hate."
"There's something even more annoying."
Zhou Chen immediately turned over, smiled evilly and started to bully Li Xiaoyue. Li Xiaoyue tried her best to 'resist', but in the end the power gap was too big and she could only slowly succumb.
In the kitchen, Zhou Chen was holding a pot with one hand and a shovel with the other, humming a song while cooking.
While Li Xiaoyue was bathing and changing clothes, he personally cooked a table of dishes for Li Xiaoyue.
When Li Xiaoyue came out, she saw a table of delicious and delicious food. She was wearing shorts and off-shoulder pajamas. She jumped lightly and was hugged by Zhou Chen, who kissed her passionately.
"I love you so much. If you pamper me like this, I won't be able to bear to leave you in the future."
Zhou Chen slapped her butt hard, with a "ferocious" look on his face.
"You still dare to think about leaving me? How courageous are you? Let me tell you this, there is no separation between you and me, only death. Do you understand me clearly?"
Li Xiaoyue pressed Zhou Chen's mouth with her slender fingers and said urgently: "Stop talking nonsense and saying unlucky things about life and death. I will always be with you."
Zhou Chen knew that although Li Xiaoyue usually looked very free and easy, because of her parents' death in a car accident, she still had a somewhat different view of life and death than ordinary people. In the past, she was free and free and could live however she wanted, but now they are together
, so naturally she was single and had different changes in her heart.
After being gentle for a while, Zhou Chen put her on a chair and started feeding her.
"Na Juan, you cook better than me, I want to learn from you."
Li Xiaoyue tasted the dishes cooked by Zhou Chen, with a very satisfied expression on her face. In the past, she would simply cook something by herself or order takeout, but now someone can cook for her and eat with her, which is really satisfying.
She was particularly touched and satisfied. The place with Zhou Chen really felt like home.
"I will teach you step by step. If you don't want to do it, I will cook it for you. Who makes you my most beloved Xiaoyue baby?"
"Alas!"
Li Xiaoyue pretended to tremble exaggeratedly: "It's so numb, goosebumps are coming out."
"Really? Let me touch it and see."
"Oh, where are you going? I'm eating, don't make any trouble."
Amidst the noisy laughter, a delicious lunch was finished.
After lunch, Li Xiaoyue took out a notebook and calculator and did some calculations there.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm settling the accounts. This time I went to Xiangjiang and all the money was spent on air tickets and hotels. I didn't make any contribution."
Zhou Chen sat down next to her, put his arm around her waist, and said softly: "Who said you didn't make a contribution? You have to play with me during the day and serve me at night. It's very tiring."
"roll!"
Li Xiaoyue laughed and cursed, and then continued to settle accounts.
"I brought a total of 20,000 yuan this time, and ended up with 3,000 yuan left. But in fact, our expenses this time, including air tickets and hotels, were more than 100,000 yuan, which was really too much."
"If it exceeds the standard, then exceed the standard. The main thing is to have fun. Aren't you happy?"
"I'm happy, of course I'm happy, but no matter how happy I am, I can't spend it like this. I know you have money, but if you keep using it like this, you won't be able to sustain it for long. I have to find a job tomorrow and I'll be able to get paid almost once before the end of the year.
; And my shared house expired years ago and the rent needs to be renewed."
Zhou Chen said: "Why should I renew the rent? It's such a waste of money. Anyway, we live here most of the time. You don't want to rent a house in the future. You might as well live here with me. Otherwise, you won't be with me at night."
I didn’t sleep well.”
Li Xiaoyue was very moved because Zhou Chen was telling the truth. Ever since their relationship broke through, they had been inseparable and she almost always lived here with Zhou Chen.
"It's okay to live here, but you can't live here for free. I pay the rent."
Zhou Chen said: "What kind of rent do you have to pay? You live here. You clean the place here, you often cook for me, and you sleep with me at night. This is all your contribution. How can the mere rent be worth it?"
.”
Li Xiaoyue picked up the notebook and patted Zhou Chen: "I'm going to pay a fortune to sleep with you. I even said you were sleeping with me. Who among us will suffer the loss? Who can say for sure?"
"Oh, you've made some progress."
"Don't be poor with me, I'm going to have a serious talk with you."
Zhou Chen straightened his expression and said, "Okay, you can say it, but don't talk about the rent."
Li Xiaoyue took the pen, clicked on the notebook, and said slowly: "I listen to you, I won't rent a house anymore, I will live with you, but after all, we are not married yet, we are just boyfriend and girlfriend, sometimes we still have to settle the matter
…”
"If you say that, then I have something to say. We can take the household registration book and ID card tomorrow and go directly to register and get the certificate."
Zhou Chen's words immediately confused Li Xiaoyue: "What did you say?"
"Register and get the certificate."
It took Li Xiaoyue a long time to react. The expression on his face was very complicated, ranging from moved to panic, but mostly at a loss.
"Registering to receive a certificate is not a trivial matter. We should discuss it later and talk about the immediate matter first."
After finally suppressing the excitement in her heart, Li Xiaoyue brought up the topic again.
Finally, at Zhou Chen's request, there is no rent required, but she will have to pay for whatever the family needs to buy in the future, such as buying food, cooking, and other things. She will also be responsible for the housework in the future, etc.
Zhou Chen didn't object and just followed what she said. Having been in love and marriage countless times, he knew very well that no matter what he said before living together, if they really lived together, it would be impossible to do what he said before living together.
Do.
There are only two situations after living together. One is that they become more and more careless, and finally the relationship becomes weaker and weaker, and then they separate.
Another way is to integrate more and more into each other's lives, accommodate each other, and slowly, slowly, we become a family. Even if there may be some minor frictions, basically there will no longer be those hurt feelings.
of calculating and calculating against each other.
In the evening, Zhou Chen took Li Xiaoyue to Na Wei's house and gave all the gifts he brought back to Na Wei and Shen Lin.
Seeing that Zhou Chen bought gifts for them all, as well as Shen Lei and Xie Meilan, they were all very grateful. Na Wei took Zhou Chen to talk for a while, mainly asking Zhou Chen about his future plans.
And the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Are you planning to go back to celebrate the Chinese New Year this year?
In the past two years, Na Juan did not go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year due to work reasons, but this year the situation is different, because Zhou Chen quit his job and did not find a new job, so he will definitely have time to go back during the New Year.
Zhou Chen has never thought about this issue. Although he has become Na Juan, to be honest, he really has no feelings for the mother in his hometown.
He did not give Na Wei a definite answer, but planned to go back and ask Li Xiaoyue.
Li Xiaoyue is also alone now. He wants to ask Li Xiaoyue what her plans are for the New Year before making any plans.
I went back and asked Li Xiaoyue and found out that she was going back to her hometown to visit her parents' graves during the Chinese New Year and to see the situation in her hometown.
He originally planned to invite Li Xiaoyue to go back to his hometown with him to celebrate the New Year, but after hearing Li Xiaoyue's plan, he stopped talking. He also knew Li Xiaoyue's situation and rarely went home, probably only once or twice a year. This year
The change was a bit big, and she definitely wanted to go back and have a 'chat' with her parents.
…………
Time flies by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, more than two years have passed and we have arrived in 2023.
More than two years was a long time, and a lot of things happened, but to Zhou Chen and the others, nothing too big happened.
In Xishuangbanna, Zhou Chen and Li Xiaoyue wore local clothes and shuttled among the crowd, with light steps and smiles, and they were very happy.
"Eat this, it's delicious." Li Xiaoyue put the kebab she bought to Zhou Chen's mouth.
Zhou Chen took a bite and said, "Well, it's really delicious. I heard that there will be a bonfire party at the place where we stay. Let's go to it together tonight."
Li Xiaoyue nodded crazily: "Okay, okay, I want to go, I want to go see it."
It has been almost three years since the two of them fell in love. They have been in a deep relationship for three years. Every year they travel together, sometimes for seven or eight days, sometimes for a month. They are always together and have never been apart.
.
It was Li Xiaoyue's decision to come to Xishuangbanna this time. She overcame the past and chose to come to Xishuangbanna with Zhou Chen. She also brought photos of her parents to complete the agreement she had not completed with her parents back then.
The two have been playing here for almost half a month. It is really a good place because it has a tropical rainforest climate. There is no scorching heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. It is warm and pleasant all year round, making it very suitable for vacation travel.
Moreover, as an autonomous prefecture, this place has many places suitable for sightseeing. It is one of the hot tourist cities in China and the area with the most complete preservation of tropical ecosystems in China. It is known as the 'Plant Kingdom', 'Animal Kingdom', 'Biological Gene Bank', and 'Plant Kingdom'.
It is known as "an emerald in the crown of the kingdom" and is also the only tropical rainforest nature reserve in the country.
