He pushed open the fence and saw a path paved with white stones. In the middle of the path was a patch of cultivated land covered with fake grass. When the weather got warmer, he could plant some flowers and plants there.

There was a row of trees on either side of the B&B, their bare trunks unknown to me. There were stairs leading directly to the second and third floors. On the wall of the courtyard on the first floor was a line of letters reading "The Today Club." Jing Zuohuai smiled when he saw it.

The courtyard is not big, but it is beautifully decorated. There are seats made of polished stones with green plants on them, a balcony decorated with logs with birdcage lamps hanging below, a table made of wooden stakes, plant decorations, and some books on the shelves. It feels like a folk coffee shop.

A rocking chair, golden wheat, and sycamore trees are decorated in another corner, which would surely be very pleasant in the summer.

Walking inside, Jing Zuohuai saw a round wooden door. He pushed it open and entered. The first floor was decorated in a retro Nanyang style. The first thing he saw was a vintage mural. Next to it was a mahogany display stand with a vase of cappuccinos. To the left was a fake fireplace, with candles and aromatherapy diffusers on the table. Entering from the right was the living room, connected to the open kitchen.

It seems that every piece of furniture tells a story.

Across from the kitchen stood a wine cabinet, stocked with Jing Zuhuai's favorite drinks and beverages. Behind the cabinets was the first-floor bedroom, the innermost corner of which was crafted from glass, forming an inverted triangle. At the back of the living room sat a solid wood dining table and chairs, with a vintage lamp resembling red agate hanging overhead. From here, there were stairs leading to the second floor.

There are sensor lights on the stairs, and each time Jing Zuohuai steps on a step, the light on that step lights up. The decoration here is completely different from that on the first floor, with a futuristic feel.

The sunken floor, dominated by metallic silver and gray-black, creates a visual effect that blends distinct elements together. There's a library, a large dressing room, and a cinema. Entering through the school gate on the side of the balcony, there's an open-air balcony with an open-air office, decorated in a similar style to the courtyard.

Jing Zuohuai went up the black and white square staircase and arrived at the third floor. Seeing this, tears welled up in his eyes.

The third floor offers an Instagram-style artistic atmosphere. In the center of the living room sits a moderately deep pool filled with tropical fish. Further inside, there's a small platform resembling a crater. Warm-colored light strips are embedded in the soil, with light streaming in from the sides.

The living room here is very large, and is mostly filled with books and paintings. The innermost part is the bedroom, and the room on the left contains the paintings that He Zhijin collected from Jing Zuohuai. There are still some gaps in it, which will be filled in the future.

He didn't see it, but he just knew it.

After seeing the decoration style of the first floor, Jing Zuohuai felt it was very familiar. It was only when he reached the second floor that he realized it a little later. When he reached the third floor, everything became clear.

This was something he designed casually when he was bored, but he didn't expect it to actually come true.

"So, this..." Jing Zuohuai's body trembled a little.

He Zhijin hugged him gently from behind, "Haven't you always wanted to have a home like this in the future, so you can move in when you retire?"

"Is this something you bought for me?"

"I wanted to buy a piece of land in the mountains before, but I looked at a lot of places and none of them seemed suitable," He Zhijin said softly. "I just happened to learn that this area of ​​the sea was going to be developed into a seaside community, so I bought this piece of land."

Jing Zuohuai: "When did you prepare it?"

He Zhijin: "The time when I confessed my feelings."

How could it be renovated like this in just over a year? Who are you kidding! Jing Zuohuai bit his lower lip and said, "Tell the truth!"

He Zhijin sighed, turned him around and kissed him on the lips, "On your birthday, the year I signed up to the studio, I had already started choosing a location that day."

"You..." Jing Zuohuai was stunned. He had actually been preparing for so long.

"Actually, I wanted to transfer the money to you at first, but you definitely didn't want it." He Zhijin kissed his forehead again. "I had accumulated quite a bit of savings at the time, and I was planning to terminate my contract with Chi Yang during that time, but I didn't expect you to get there first."

Jing Zuohuai's tears fell silently as she stared at him blankly.

At that time, He Zhijin had the opportunity to terminate his contract with either party, but he still chose to sign with a studio where he could not see a future. Jing Zuohuai did not understand this feeling, he just felt sorry for He Zhijin.

Jing Zuohuai: "After all this time, preparing for so long, buying land, building and renovating, such a time-consuming and energy-consuming task, you, just want to give me a house?"

He Zhijin: "Do you think the gift is too light?"

Jing Zuohuai shook his head frantically. He had no idea how much this house was worth. It was definitely worth a lot more than what he had paid Chi Yang back then!

"So, this is worth...?"

He Zhijin chuckled, "Within my ability." This is what Jing Zuohuai said before.

"You know, at dinner just now I remembered a book I read." He Zhijin kissed his lips. "Hermann Hesse once wrote in a book, 'You are the only person of all people I want to love. You cannot measure what this means. It means sweet springs in the desert and flowers and trees in the wasteland. My heart has not withered, and my soul still retains a place to wait for the oracle."

"For that, I thank you."

"Thank you for everything you have done for me, my baby! You have worked hard for so many years!

"I..." Jing Zuohuai choked up a little, "I don't need your thanks, and I did this voluntarily, so you don't need to thank me." She hugged him and rubbed against his arms, "So, this is really a gift from you? So this is our home from now on, right?"

"Yes! Our future home." He Zhijin said, "The property title is in your name. The car hasn't been bought yet. We'll go pick out a car you like later. All of this will be your betrothal gift, okay? I don't want your dowry, I just want you to love me more. Is that okay with you?"

Jing Zuohuai kissed her again and again, "Okay! Even without all this, I still love you, I love you very much, I love you the most~"

He Zhijin had no doubt about his love for him. After all, Jing Zuhuai had always been like this, always passionate and lively. He Zhijin nuzzled him, "So are you staying here tonight? It's already late!"

Jing Zuohuai hugged his neck and deepened the kiss, "Hold me, and then kiss me!
