Chapter 179 The Ordinary Life with Liu Ruyan
Chapter 179 The Ordinary Life with Liu Ruyan
Liu Ruyan directed from below: "A little higher on the left... a little higher... okay, okay! The right side is a bit crooked..."
Ye Fan, standing on a stool, adjusted it while complaining, "President Liu is really demanding!"
After hanging the curtains, the cozy atmosphere is instantly enhanced.
Pull it open again, and the river view comes into view once more.
Then came tidying up the kitchen.
Liu Ruyan treated the newly bought pots and pans like precious treasures, unpacking and washing them one by one, and then carefully putting them back in their places.
She carefully seasoned and maintained the German wok with fatty meat.
The brand-new dishes gleamed under the light.
She neatly arranged the spice bottles by category, and the small kitchen countertop was soon filled with the warmth of daily life.
Ye Fan wasn't idle either; he disassembled the daily necessities, towels, and bath towels and put them into the bathroom and storage cabinet.
The robot vacuum cleaner started humming as it sucked up the last bit of dust from the new house.
After a flurry of activity, it was already dark.
Outside the window is the dazzling city night view and the lights on the flowing river; inside is a new and warm little home.
"You must be exhausted?" Ye Fan asked with concern, looking at Liu Ruyan, whose forehead was slightly sweaty.
"Not tired at all!" Liu Ruyan's eyes sparkled with energy. "It's time to show off my cooking skills! Go rest in the living room for a bit, it'll be ready soon!"
Ye Fan followed instructions and went to the living room, turned on the newly purchased smart speaker, and played soothing light music.
He sat on the soft sofa, watching Liu Ruyan busy in the open kitchen.
She was wearing a newly bought floral apron, her long hair loosely tied up, revealing her fair neck, and she was focused on preparing the ingredients.
The lamplight outlined her gentle profile, and the sounds of the spatula clattering, the water flowing, and the chopping vegetables intertwined to create a most beautiful symphony—the sound of home.
Before long, an enticing aroma filled the air.
"Dinner's ready!" Liu Ruyan's voice was filled with a hint of excitement.
Ye Fan walked into the restaurant.
On the brand-new dining table, a simple tablecloth had just been bought, and three dishes and a soup were laid out, steaming hot and full of color, aroma and taste: steamed sea bass drizzled with soy sauce and scallion oil, exuding a fresh aroma; braised pork ribs with a bright red color, tender and tempting; stir-fried seasonal vegetables with a vibrant green color; and a bowl of tomato and egg drop soup sprinkled with chopped scallions.
"Tsk tsk! Chef Liu truly lives up to his reputation!" Ye Fan exclaimed sincerely, eagerly pulling out a chair and sitting down.
Liu Ruyan took off her apron and sat down, a hint of nervousness and anticipation on her face: "Quickly try it and see how it tastes! It's a new pot and a new stove, I'm not quite used to the heat yet..."
Ye Fan picked up a piece of pork rib first. It was soft and tender, falling off the bone, with a perfect balance of salty and sweet flavors and a rich soy sauce aroma.
"Mmm! This tastes amazing! It's even better than what you get at restaurants!" He picked up another piece of fish with his chopsticks; the meat was tender and cooked to perfection.
Steamed fish is delicious! Fresh and tender!
Finally, I tried the vegetables and soup, which were both home-style dishes with an exquisite flavor.
"Delicious! So delicious! Mr. Liu, it's a real shame you're not running a restaurant with such culinary skills!" Ye Fan exclaimed in admiration.
Liu Ruyan felt a little embarrassed by his praise, but secretly she felt sweet inside: "I'm glad you like it."
The two of them enjoyed their first dinner in this brand-new house, overlooking the boundless river view and the dazzling lights outside the window.
There were no delicacies, only simple home-cooked meals, yet they tasted exceptionally delicious and satisfying.
Every bite tastes like "home".
After cleaning up, the two snuggled together on the spacious, curved balcony.
The night breeze carried the coolness of the river and the gentle warmth of late summer.
In the distance lies a bustling city with neon lights, while at your feet flows a quietly flowing river, reflecting the stars, moon, and lights.
The world is noisy, but this place is peaceful and warm, as if it belongs only to the two of them.
Ye Fan embraced Liu Ruyan from behind, gently resting his chin on the top of her head.
"Do you like it here?" he asked in a low voice.
Liu Ruyan leaned against his strong chest, feeling his powerful heartbeat and warm body temperature. Gazing at the dreamlike river view before her, she sighed contentedly, "I love it... I love it so much. Husband, thank you... for giving me such a wonderful home."
She turned around, wrapped her arms around Ye Fan's neck, stood on tiptoe, and planted a tender and affectionate kiss on his lips.
This kiss carried the warmth of dinner, the joy of a new home, and an abundance of love and a sense of belonging.
Ye Fan tightened his arms, deepening the kiss.
The night breeze stirred Liu Ruyan's hair and also stirred the two hearts that were closely intertwined.
"I'm not going back to school tonight." After the kiss, Ye Fan pressed his forehead against hers, his voice low and husky.
Liu Ruyan's cheeks flushed red in the night, and she softly hummed in agreement, burying her face even deeper into Ye Fan's embrace.
In the bedroom, the brand-new silk bedding exudes a faint fragrance.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the river view at night never ends.
When the two lay in their first bed, embracing each other as they fell asleep, the whole world fell silent.
Liu Ruyan rested her head on Ye Fan's arm, listening to his steady breathing and strong heartbeat, and feeling the warmth of his embrace.
Beneath her was a soft, comfortable new bed, and the scent of her new home and his familiar body lingered in the air.
An unprecedented sense of security and happiness enveloped her.
"Husband..." she whispered in the darkness.
"Mmm," Ye Fan replied lazily, tightening his grip on her arm.
......
the next day.
Liu Ruyan had already quietly gotten up and gone to the company.
Ye Fan slept until he naturally woke up in the comfortable bed in his new home.
I got up, had a quick breakfast, and then went back to school.
Back in the dorm, as soon as he pushed open the door, he heard Li Yifeng let out an exaggerated wail: "Holy crap! Son! You're finally back alive! I thought you'd been seduced by some vixen and died from exhaustion!"
He had messy hair and an exaggerated expression of a "lost father".
Ye Fan threw one of the three breakfasts he was carrying at him: "Shut up, you unfilial son! These are breakfasts your father brought you with love, shut your mouth!"
"Breakfast?" The words had barely left his mouth when the curtain opposite him was suddenly pulled open. Ki Woo-ho, sporting two huge dark circles under his eyes, poked his head out like a submarine radar, his eyes precisely locking onto the bag in Ye Fan's hand.
Helpless, Ye Fan tossed another bag onto his desk: "Catch this, it's yours."
"Thanks, Brother Fan!" Ji Yuhao took the bun and stuffed it into his mouth in two bites, like a highly efficient food shredder.
He swallowed the last bite, then habitually scratched his greasy hair, turning his gaze to Ye Fan with a hint of expectation: "Brother Fan, do you have a cigarette?"
Ye Fan: "..."
He was truly exasperated with this guy. From the end of the class meeting until now, Ji Yuhao's butt hadn't left his gaming chair for more than half an hour! He relied entirely on his roommates to feed him, and his activities were limited to a three-point line between his bed, chair, and toilet.
