Lin Weiwei got off the train and stood outside the gate. In the distance, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her. He swiped his chip access card, the gate opened, he came to her side, picked up his luggage, and walked inside.

Her stomach rumbled incessantly, and she pursed her lips, awkwardly pretending to hum a tune.

Li Yao didn't expose her embarrassment, and hummed along with her. There was a staircase behind the research building. If you followed the staircase, you could go to the private residence across the street. He opened the door with his finger, and a faint fragrance wafted out. It wasn't a floral scent, but sandalwood. It was clear that he really liked the smell.

There was a golden Buddha holding a lit sandalwood incense stick on the shoe cabinet. The room was decorated in a simple European style. His clothes were neatly folded on the soft sofa. He led her into a room opposite his dormitory. The moment the door opened, her heart melted.

In stark contrast to the overall layout of his room, it was incredibly luxurious. The bedroom chandelier was a rotating light with rhinestone feathers and bird's nests. The ceiling used the oldest design, with floating clouds engraved on sandalwood depicting the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. The wallpaper on the walls was made of pink feathers, each feather individually inlaid without any gaps. The floor was covered with white mink fur, which felt delicate and soft to the touch, just like his thoughts.

The oil paintings on the wall all bear his signature and are all self-portraits of her, each with a different perspective. The one on the wall above the bed shows her sleeping next to him in a white dress, which makes her blush a little.

There's a two-meter-tall beige bear by the window and door, which can be used as a sofa. There's also a jade dressing table, and inside the box are earrings and a necklace.

“The place I lived in before had a housekeeper to clean it. This place was renovated by me after I bought the villa next door. The first floor is a movie theater, the second floor is our residence, and the third floor is a rooftop garden where we can stargaze. Since it’s private, no one cleans it, so I’ll have to trouble you.” Li Yao took out the key from his pocket and handed it to her, leaning on the door with his elbow and looking at the person in front of him. This design was perfect for a romantic getaway for two.

This was a level of favor she had never experienced before. Everything had been planned long ago, and they had been waiting for her arrival. "When did this begin?"

"The only reason I invited you here was to spend a little money to hire a few more people. There's still a slight formaldehyde smell in the new house, so I lit some sandalwood incense. By the way, the third floor is a preserved flower garden, so you can rest assured there's no pollen there."

She actually loves flowers, but because of pollen, she avoids touching them. Before coming to Earth, she had never realized how beautiful flowers could be.

"Li Yao... thank you."

This time, the gratitude came from the bottom of her heart. She had said "thank you" countless times, and the items in the jewelry box were all the latest styles featured in magazines—the thought and care put into it was truly remarkable. She was only staying temporarily and had no intention of living there forever.

He stepped forward and pinched her nose, saying, "Silly girl, always so polite. I told you I was going to pursue you."

His voice was a little hoarse. His hand slid down her cheek to her waist. When he lowered his head to her pink petal lips, a gurgling sound broke the ambiguous atmosphere, and Lin Weiwei pushed him away.

Perhaps he was too hasty. He should take it slow. Her skin is so elastic and taut.

"I'll go cook!"

Cough, cough, cough, Lin Weiwei coughed twice, almost kissing him. No, she couldn't do that, that was Xiao Se's cousin. Strange... why was she thinking about that scoundrel? What she was going to do now seemed to have nothing to do with him.

So she unplugged her phone from the power bank, took out the charger, and plugged it in. She changed into her slippers and headed to the bathroom; she'd worked up a sweat running around all day and wanted to take a shower.

Li Yao, who was cooking, kept hearing the doorbell ringing from the bedroom. He took off his apron and knocked on Lin Weiwei's door. When no one answered for a while, the light from the bathroom made her graceful figure faintly visible.

Beep beep beep

It's so noisy! I'm disturbing his enjoyment of the painting of the beautiful woman.

"Wife, where are you? Are you hungry?"

"She's taking a shower; I'm taking care of her."

What! It was that old man who answered the phone again. How infuriating! Taking a shower at this hour, could they... do *that*? Xiao Se was consumed by jealousy and threw his phone on the ground, smashing the screen.

Li Yao, who had been ignored by the phone call, stared blankly at the scene until a burnt smell wafted from the kitchen, making him realize something. Oh no… the stir-fried pork was still on the stove! He rushed out.

Hearing the noise outside the door, Lin Weiwei turned off the tap, finished washing, wrapped herself in a bathrobe, and came out. She found the door closed, but the phone cord had been unplugged. When she entered the password, she saw that there were still so many incoming calls. This time, she was completely enraged and locked the number in the dark.

Just as she finished dressing and was about to go out, the phone rang incessantly again.

"Lin Weiwei, tell me where you are right now! Immediately!"

Meanwhile, she heard another voice on the other end of the phone, saying, "Patient, please keep your voice down. The patient next door has a heart condition; you're just getting an IV drip, don't disturb his rest."

"I'll do it if I want; if you can't stand it, pretend you're blind or commit suicide."

"Xiao Se, listen to me. From this moment on, I don't want to receive any more calls from you. I can sue you for disturbing the peace. I will keep my promise to tutor you. And let me make this clear: I have never said you were my boyfriend, and I will not date anyone else."

Lin Weiwei hung up the phone impatiently, took out the SIM card, and thought it was time to change her phone number as well.

She slammed the door shut in a huff and saw that Li Yao had prepared a table full of dishes, but why did they smell burnt? She looked down at the trash can and realized that it was there, and the smell was coming from there.

"I don't know if it will suit your taste, I never eat rice, my staple food is always noodles, and I happen to really like your steamed buns."

Li Yao made a bowl of oil-splashed noodles and placed it in front of Lin Weiwei, and also poured a glass of orange juice and placed it in front of her.

She doesn't drink colored water because it contains too many additives. After preparing such a meal, she picked up her chopsticks, grabbed the bowl of noodles, and slurped it down in a few big mouthfuls. Still seemingly unsatisfied, she looked at the plate of roast chicken in the middle, grabbed the thigh, and started gnawing on it.

Seeing that Li Yao wasn't eating, with greasy chili peppers still on his lips, he said, "Eat up! Why aren't you eating? Why are you eating noodles instead of rice?"

"Because I'm from the North, silly girl."

Upon hearing this, the chicken in her hand fell into the plate. He also shared the surname Li and was from the North. Was Li Yao Dr. Li? It turned out that her unexpected arrival here was all an arrangement of fate. Looking at the man before her, she couldn't contain her joy.
