Chapter 163 Can't Sleep

Li Xingtang was indeed as Yunxi had imagined.

I was so excited that I barely slept all night, only managing to doze off for a short while as dawn broke. I got up around 5 or 6 a.m.

Li's mother felt that something was wrong with her son, but seeing him get dressed early in the morning and eager to go out, she just shook her head, clicked her tongue twice, and then stopped caring.

They've all been young, and you can tell they're eager to see their daughter-in-law.

"You get up so early, but you have to consider whether other people are up that early too. Won't going too early disturb their sleep?"

Li Xingtang was a little embarrassed when his mother pointed it out directly, but he quickly recovered.

"No, Yunxi gets up very early. Even if she gets up late today, it's okay. I can wait for her at the door."

After saying that, he went back to the house, picked up his savings book, and prepared to hand it over to Yunxi.

That way, even if I'm not by her side, she won't lack money or suffer any injustice.

Although it seems like I only have time to earn money during the summer vacation these past few years, as my hunting skills have become more and more proficient, I can still earn quite a lot of money.

Moreover, he neither smokes nor drinks, and apart from occasionally buying gifts for Yunxi, such as pens and notebooks, he has no other expenses.

It did allow him to save a small amount of money, totaling about 3,000 yuan, which is not a small sum.

He grabbed his bankbook, hopped on his family's bicycle, and rode straight to Yunxi's house.

At this moment, Yunxi was steaming buns. Each bun was as big as a man's fist and filled with meat filling.

She only truly enjoyed meat-filled buns, and right now she just wanted to give Li Xingtang the best; there was no other reason.

They keep wrapping things up, seemingly without stopping.

I'm worried that if I stop eating, I'll start thinking about all sorts of things. It's better to just keep the food wrapped up. Even if I can't finish it, I can store it in my space and take it out whenever I want to eat it.

As pot after pot of buns were steamed, several pots had already been placed in the space. Around seven o'clock, a knocking sound came from outside, and it seemed as if I was suddenly awakened.

Looking at the remaining dough in my hand, Glass was steaming some next to it, and there were also some wrapped but not yet steamed ones. I put them aside for now and hurried to open the door.

Upon seeing Li Xingtang waiting outside, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face. "I knew you must have come so early. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Come in and have some steamed buns. I specially made a lot so you can take them all with you when you leave tomorrow. You can't deprive yourself when you go out."

Li Xingtang was especially happy to see that Yunxi had made steamed buns for him so early, feeling that Yunxi must have him all to do.

At this moment, he was especially grateful that he had been pestering that difficult flower for so long, and finally she was willing to let him take care of her.

Although I was quite happy, seeing the dark circles under her eyes suddenly made me feel sorry for her.

Yunxi was originally fair and radiant with exceptionally good skin, but after staying up all night, her dark circles were particularly noticeable.

"Yunxi, didn't you sleep last night?"

Yunxi didn't feel sleepy at all; she had plenty of energy.

"Thank goodness, come in quickly!"

Yunxi didn't even have the heart to remind him that his dark circles weren't very noticeable yet.

I closed the door, went into the kitchen, and saw that the steamed buns in the pot were almost done. I took several and put them on a plate, asking him to take them to the living room so we could have breakfast together later.

I put the rest in a wooden basin, then put the wrapped ones in to steam. I checked the fire, and then couldn't wait to go back to the living room.

"Eat quickly, and see if my cooking skills have deteriorated."

Yunxi felt that it was because she hadn't systematically learned cooking skills; otherwise, with her talent, she could definitely have become a very skilled chef.

Even without learning the craft, she still believes her cooking is exceptionally delicious, and she has that much confidence.

Even before he had tasted it, Li Xingtang knew from the smell that it must be incredibly delicious.

I took one, blew on it to cool it down, took a bite, and it was indeed as delicious as I expected.

"Yunxi, your cooking skills are still as good as ever. No, I should say your cooking skills are even better. They taste even better than before."

"If you like it, eat more. There's more in the pot."

Yunxi also took one, and after putting it in her mouth, she found that it was no different from before, so she knew that he had just been saying nice things to coax her.

If it weren't for the smile on her face, you would really think she was angry.

Even though Yunxi knew he was just trying to comfort her, she was still quite happy inside.

After eating the steamed bun in his hand, Li Xingtang quickly took out the savings book from his pocket and handed it directly to Yunxi.

As soon as Yunxi saw the passbook in front of her, she began to guess, and what happened next proved her guess.

"This is the money I've saved over the past few years. Anyway, I won't need it for much expenses in the army, so I'm leaving it all for you. Buy whatever you want in the future, don't be shy. If you don't have enough money, just tell me, and I'll leave all my future salary to you."

"Why don't you just keep it with you? You know me, I'm not short of money at all. On the contrary, what if you need money when you're out there? What will you do if you give me the money?"

Yunxi wished she could just take out the tens of thousands of yuan in her spatial storage and throw it in front of him to show him her ability to amass wealth.

After thinking about it, I decided to forget about it!

Anyway, from now on, whose money it is, it's all my money, so I might as well not scare his little heart.

As long as he feels he has no money, he will work hard to climb up the social ladder and earn money.

"Don't save it for me. The army provides food and lodging, so there's not much to spend money on. You know me; I don't smoke or drink, and I don't need money. Besides, we're engaged now, so we'll be family. It's only right that you keep it."

Li Xingtang's mother manages the money in his family, and his father is content as long as he has a bowl of rice to eat at home; he never asks for much.

He felt he needed to learn from his father.

Seeing that he had already gone this far, Yunxi simply put it away.

"Don't worry, I'll save it for you. Take good care of yourself from now on. It's definitely not as convenient outside as at home. Be careful and stay safe. Even if you go on a mission in the future, remember that I'm still waiting for you at home."

You know my temper. Although I like you now, if anything really happens to you, I'm not some chaste widow who stays faithful forever. If you want me to like you forever, you'd better stay alive, understand?

Yunxi said these things on purpose to provoke him, hoping that while he was working hard outside, he would think about how she was waiting for him at home.
