A bowl of beef and vermicelli soup at a neighborhood restaurant in Shanghai in the early morning.
It is a warm comfort in the bustling city.
On the street where the landlord lives, the shop opens at 5:40 a.m., and the aroma of beef soup fills the air.
The broth is rich and flavorful, the beef is tender, and when paired with clear broth, it's simple yet incredibly delicious.
Two ounces of potstickers and a bowl of beef and vermicelli soup is the standard order for regular customers.
I walked out of that little shop, which was filled with a unique, lively atmosphere.
Lin Yuan strolled leisurely along the streets as the morning light began to break.
He was muttering to himself.
"A devoted man cannot let go of his love, a resentful woman weeps with sorrow. Love and hate intertwine, impossible to extricate themselves; how can the debts of love be settled? Ah, how can these debts be settled!"
This limerick is a reflection of his inner thoughts.
As he softly recited, a refreshing feeling arose spontaneously, making him feel instantly refreshed.
Before long, Lin Yuan arrived at the car parked at the entrance of the residential area.
He decided to wait in the car for several hours before going to find Xia Qingxue.
After all, since she has already chosen to be with him, he still needs to discuss the matter of moving with her.
Take some time to relax.
Lin Yuan casually opened the Douhu live streaming app on his phone.
At first, the talent shows of those live streamers really caught his eye.
Some songs were melodious and graceful, some dances were light and beautiful, and some hosts were humorous and witty, making people feel particularly relaxed.
And so, as I watched one live stream after another, the initial novelty gradually wore off.
The excitement gradually dissipated, and fatigue set in. Lin Yuan finally couldn't resist the onslaught of sleepiness.
After an unknown amount of time, a series of clear knocks broke the morning's tranquility.
Xia Qingxue, who was taking a nap on the sofa, opened her eyes upon hearing the sound, and a sense of anticipation welled up in her heart.
Because Lin Yuan didn't come looking for her.
At this moment, she did feel somewhat lonely.
Xia Qingxue stood up from the sofa and walked quickly towards the door...
Who's knocking?
With a soft "click," the door was pushed open.
Outside the door, all was quiet and deserted, with only a gentle breeze blowing by, bringing the coolness of the morning.
She couldn't help but frown.
"Am I really overthinking things...?"
With a helpless sigh, a crisp and rhythmic knocking sounded again.
She looked down in confusion to see where the sound was coming from.
It turned out that a chubby orange cat was sitting obediently at the door.
A pair of big, round eyes were staring at her, and it was making "meow" sounds.
It raised its little paw and patted the door, as if urging something.
Seeing this adorable little guy, Xia Qingxue smiled gently.
"Oh, it's you, Orange!"
As she spoke, she squatted down and reached out to hug the orange cat.
The orange cat seemed to enjoy the close contact as well.
It wiggled happily in Xia Qingxue's arms, rubbing its fluffy head against her chest.
After a while, she remembered that she should find something to eat for the orange.
So she put the orange back on the threshold.
"Wait patiently, I'll go get you the jar."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.
I had only taken a few steps when I suddenly heard a shout coming from the doorway.
"landlord?"
The voice sounded somewhat familiar, so she stopped and turned around to look at the doorway.
There stood a tall, imposing man.
Sunlight fell on him, outlining his handsome features.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the tenant, Lin Yuan.
At this moment, Lin Yuan was wearing a suit and jeans, and carrying a bulging plastic bag in his hand.
The bag contained fried dumplings, and a fragrant aroma wafted out from the bag's opening.
Xia Qingxue quickly stepped forward and hugged Lin Yuan.
Before she could finish speaking, a scent unique to nightclubs wafted over and entered her nostrils.
The scent was a blend of a faint aroma of alcohol and a woman's perfume.
"Didn't sleep all night, did you?"
Seeing that Lin Yuan did not answer, she took the bag that was handed to her.
"Thank you. Didn't you sleep well last night? You look so tired."
Lin Yuan scratched his head awkwardly, revealing an endearing smile.
"Oh dear, nothing can be hidden from you, landlady!"
Xia Qingxue, standing to the side, rolled her eyes helplessly.
Then he reached out and grabbed Lin Yuan, and walked straight into the house.
As she walked away, she said reproachfully, "Don't call me landlady anymore. From now on, just call me Sister Xue."
Lin Yuan quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay, Sister Xue! Then you have to call me Brother Yuan too."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang, and the door slammed shut.
Inside the room, Lin Yuan couldn't wait to hug the beauty in front of him from behind, wrapping his arms around her slender waist.
"Hmph, you only remembered me after playing all night?"
Xia Qingxue uttered a sour remark, but to Lin Yuan, it sounded like an irresistible temptation.
"Of course I miss you! I think about you all the time! How about we move in together? How about you move in with me?"
Lin Yuan eagerly expressed his thoughts while slightly lowering his head.
Xia Qingxue couldn't help but make a strange sound as she answered his question.
"Hmm...hmm...okay, I'll do whatever you say..."
However, she didn't finish her sentence: "But..."
