Chapter 1564 Take

The sun shines through the sparse leaves, mottled with golden light and shadow. In the autumn afternoon, the laziness seems to become so comfortable.

Zhou Chen and Li Xiaoyue sat on the stone steps beside the river in the park. Li Xiaoyue held Zhou Chen's arm and leaned her head on Zhou Chen's shoulder, enjoying the leisure of the afternoon together.

Since they confirmed their relationship, their feelings have quickly heated up. As long as they have time, they will find ways to stay together, especially on weekends, they can't wait to stay together all day.

Except for the last step, the rest of the blushing things have also been experienced.

Talking about love is not just talking and talking, but also taking practical actions. This is a necessary step for the relationship to heat up.

Li Xiaoyue leaned on Zhou Chen's shoulder, squinting her eyes, like a lazy kitten.

Zhou Chen played with Li Xiaoyue's delicate little hand with one hand, and the movement was gentle and comfortable, making Li Xiaoyue more lazy and enjoyable.

After a while, Zhou Chen told her about his resignation, which surprised Li Xiaoyue.

"So fast?"

"Not really. In fact, our company is disgusting. They have been ignoring me and want me to resign so that they don't have to pay compensation. But how can I let them do what they want? I can't let my years of hard work go to waste. So I have been trying my patience with them these days. In the end, they couldn't stand it anymore and paid me the compensation and options they should give me."

"Oh, then 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 didn't have to work overtime all day and stay up late like before.

"What are your plans next?"

"No plans for the time being. I plan to have a good rest for a while, and then spend more time with you."

Li Xiaoyue raised her head and gave her a kiss.

"Happy, love you."

Zhou Chen also held her face and kissed her deeply.

"I'm also planning to go to Hong Kong in a while and open an account there. I can also make some investments in the future. After all, I can't just sit back and do nothing."

Li Xiaoyue asked in confusion: "You can also invest, but even if you do invest, why do you want to open an account in Hong Kong?"

"Because I'm going to try the foreign market, opening an account there will be convenient for operation. Of course, opening an account is just a by-product. I mainly want to take you to Hong Kong for a trip and relax. Didn't we say before that we can have a trip whenever we want?"

Li Xiaoyue sat up straight suddenly, looking at Zhou Chen anxiously and expectantly.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course."

Zhou Chen gently touched her tender cheek and said solemnly: "What I said to you was not to please you according to your wishes, but the truth from the heart. I hope to travel with you. I think the best scenery in the world is where you are."

Li Xiaoyue had no experience in love, and she was a sentimental person. Now hearing Zhou Chen's mushy love words, she was completely submerged.

She directly proved her happiness and joy with her actions, hugged Zhou Chen's head, and gave Zhou Chen a long kiss that lasted for two minutes.

"Na Jun, I really, really like you."

Burying herself in Zhou Chen's arms, Li Xiaoyue hugged Zhou Chen tightly for a long, long time.

"Then when are we going?"

Zhou Chen was stunned, then reacted: "When you are free, we can go, but it may take some time to go back and forth, so we have to prepare in advance."

Li Xiaoyue murmured to herself: "Going to such a far place, you have to prepare in advance, but the company certainly can't approve so many days of vacation for me, should I just quit? No, since I want to go out and play, I must spend money, or I still have to make enough money first, so that I can have fun there."

Zhou Chen said: "Don't worry about the money, I..."

"Don't."

Li Xiaoyue interrupted Zhou Chen and said seriously: "Since we are going out to play together, we can't use all your money, we pay together."

She is a person with her own opinions. Although she is in love with Zhou Chen, she is not prepared to become Zhou Chen's vassal and use Zhou Chen's money for everything. Instead, she regards Zhou Chen as a partner. She can rely on Zhou Chen emotionally, but she can't let Zhou Chen be the only burden in life.

She has her own hands and feet, and can make her own money. She doesn't need to worry too much about eating and drinking on a daily basis, but going out to play is a big expense, and she can't help but pay.

Zhou Chen knew what kind of person Li Xiaoyue was, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, we'll pay together."

In fact, a trip to Hong Kong, as long as you don't buy those luxury goods and don't be deceived into spending recklessly, just eating, drinking and having fun, it won't cost too much money.

"To go to Hong Kong, you need to apply for a Hong Kong and Macau Pass. I have a Beijing hukou, so I can apply for it directly. What about you?"

Na Jun graduated from Peking University, a graduate student from Tsinghua University, and worked in a large Internet company for many years. He also bought a house, so naturally he has a Beijing hukou for a long time.

But he didn't know much about Li Xiaoyue's situation. He only knew that Li Xiaoyue went to university in Beijing, and didn't know about her hukou.

Li Xiaoyue was a little distressed: "My hukou is not in Beijing, so I have to go back to my hometown?"

She hasn't applied for it yet, and she hasn't been abroad, so she doesn't know about these things.

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. We can also apply for a visit in another place. I'm just asking. Then we can go together and apply for a 14-day visit."

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 understand 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 to 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 we'll 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 only known each other for a short time and had not had any in-depth communication. Neither of them were particularly familiar with each other.

Li Xiaoyue was 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 the capital.

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 things, 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? No matter what happens, 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. However, 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 cook? That's not good. After all, it is a rental house and you have tenants who share the house. It is not convenient to go there to cook. Otherwise, you should go there." In my case, although I haven’t cooked much at home, the kitchen supplies are all new and usable.”

"Going to your place?"

Li Xiaoyue looked suspicious. Although Zhou Chen was telling the truth, she was sharing a 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.

"You're not thinking of anything bad, are you?"

"Xiaoyue, you have wronged me. It was you who first said you wanted to go home and cook, and then I made this suggestion. Besides, if I can think of bad things, it must be you who are thinking of bad things. Zhou Chen asked with a half-smile.

"And beat him up with a rake."

Li Xiaoyue was so angry that she rushed directly to Zhou Chen's back and put her hands around Zhou Chen's neck. Zhou Chen lifted her up with a gentle support and hugged her slender legs with his hands.

"Come on, let's go home."

Zhou Chen carried Li Xiaoyue on his back and trotted all the way, then put her in the car.

Li Xiaoyue held Zhou Chen's head and kissed him gently: "You are tired. I will go to your house to reward you, but we have to buy groceries first."

"No problem. I remember that there is a vegetable market nearby where I live. Let's go and have a look first."

Go home, buy groceries, cook food...

Li Xiaoyue has lived alone for many years and has all the skills in life. Cooking and cooking are all basic skills.

"The food may not be very tasty, so just eat some."

"No, it's quite delicious. I feel good. You cook for me and it feels like home."

Li Xiaoyue's cooking skills are average, just at the level of authentic home-cooked food. Really speaking, she's not as good as Zhou Chen.

However, Zhou Chen has experienced so many worlds and has never eaten anything. He has eaten delicacies from mountains and seas, raw fish and tree bark. In the ancient world, he still gnawed some big cakes as hard as rocks with gusto.

So when there are conditions, he may be very picky about what he eats, but if there are no conditions, as long as he can eat it and it's not disgusting, he can still eat it.

After saying that, Zhou Chen pulled Li Xiaoyue, who was about to clear the dining table, into his arms.

"Don't be in a hurry. It's your first time coming to my house. I'll give you a little tour first."

Li Xiaoyue grabbed Zhou Chen's neck and turned his eyes around.

“You’ve seen enough at this glance, there’s nothing else to see.”

"Bedroom, bedroom, I haven't seen the bedroom yet."

Li Xiaoyue sneered: "Do you want to visit the bedroom, or do you want to do something? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Zhou Chen laughed: "There is a saying that you must have heard."

"What?"

"When you are full and warm, you will think about..."

"Ah!"

Amid Li Xiaoyue's exclamation, Zhou Chen hugged her and stood up, then rushed into the bedroom, and then threw himself directly on the bed.

"Ah, what are you doing? I knew you asked me to come here, and you must have bad intentions."

Zhou Chen pressed Li Xiaoyue down, and gently stroked her cheek, eyebrows, nose with his right hand...

"Yes, I just have bad intentions, just say whether you will obey or not."

"No, um..., um..."

Since Li Xiaoyue was willing to come to Zhou Chen, she was actually prepared in her heart. Although she and Zhou Chen had only known each other for a month, she really felt very good and liked Zhou Chen very much, so she was willing to give her most precious thing to Zhou Chen half-heartedly.

After a long time, the clouds and rain gradually stopped!

Zhou Chen and Li Xiaoyue leaned against each other, feeling each other's warmth and breath, and Li Xiaoyue hugged Zhou Chen tightly.

She has been alone all these years. Although she has friends, colleagues, and classmates, she is always alone when she returns home.

She looks like she doesn't care about these things, but when she is alone, she still wants someone to accompany her.

And now, she has found it. She found this feeling from Zhou Chen, so she is willing to do anything.

"It's getting late. I have to go to work tomorrow and can't stay too long."

Zhou Chen pinched her nose: "What are you thinking about? You're still leaving. Where do you want to go? Of course you're staying. I'll take you to work tomorrow morning."

"Can you get up?"

"Of course, as long as I do things for you, I can do it."

Li Xiaoyue showed a happy smile on her face.

"Okay, then I'll enjoy the feeling of being sent to work tomorrow."

Since then, the relationship between the two has taken a step further. The relationship between men and women is like this. Once you reach the level of you in me and I in you, the relationship will advance by leaps and bounds and reach another new height.

After tasting the sweetness, Li Xiaoyue has been living with Zhou Chen almost every day recently. Zhou Chen sends her to work in the morning and picks her up from get off work in the evening. They go home together. Life is full of joy and fun.

"Hey, yes, I know. I'll go there tomorrow night. Hang up."

Li Xiaoyue took out the clothes from the washing machine and put them on the balcony to dry, and then heard Zhou Chen say.

"My brother knows that I resigned, and asked me to go to his place for dinner tomorrow night. Xiaoyue, you go with me."

"I'm going too? Your family is having a party, it's not good for me to go?"

Zhou Chen hugged Li Xiaoyue and said solemnly: "My brother and his family are my family, and you, Li Xiaoyue, are also my family now. You are equally important to me. When the family has a meal, you must go with me, unless you don't like me and don't want to go with me to meet my brother and his family."

Li Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at Zhou Chen: "I find that you are really talking more and more. You said that, what else can I say? Go, go with you."
