An Lan looked at Lu Fan, who seemed to want to melt into the bed, and smiled slightly with a doting expression. She shook her head gently and turned to walk to the window.
She reached out and pulled back the curtains. In an instant, warm sunlight poured in like a golden veil, illuminating the entire room and filling it with a cozy atmosphere.
Then, An Lan curiously opened the wardrobe next to her and saw several clean clothes hanging neatly inside, simple in style but exquisite.
Upon seeing these clothes, An Lan couldn't help but clap and cheer: "Great! Finally, I'll have clean clothes to change into. I won't have to wear the same clothes every day anymore. I feel like I'm going to get moldy!"
After all, everyone longs to change into clean and tidy clothes in a comfortable environment and enjoy a pleasant life.
Hearing An Lan's cheers, Lu Fan turned around with a bright smile on his face: "Not bad, not bad. It seems that this system reward is quite considerate of our needs. It's so thoughtful and humane!"
An Lan responded with a smile, then sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up a book from the bedside table, and quietly began to read.
The room was extremely quiet, with only Lu Fan's occasional sighs of contentment and the soft rustling of An Lan turning the pages of her book, weaving together a tranquil melody.
Time slips away unnoticed, like a babbling brook, silently flowing by.
After a long time, the sky gradually darkened, and the afterglow of the sunset shone through the window into the room, giving the entire space a warm orange hue.
The two snapped out of their pleasant reverie, smiled at each other, got up and left the room to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Stepping into the kitchen, Lu Fan looked at the rudimentary cooking equipment—complete with everything except a rice cooker—and his expression instantly turned from laughter to exasperation, prompting him to launch into a rant.
"I'm saying this villa looks incredibly luxurious on the outside, but why is the cooking equipment so inadequate? It's like driving a top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce but having to manually roll down the windows. It's outrageous, the contrast is off the charts!"
An Lan skillfully chopped the meat, the cleaver rhythmically rising and falling on the cutting board, making a crisp sound, while she smiled and comforted him.
"Okay, okay, stop complaining! Having a rice cooker is already pretty good. Cooking rice with a rice cooker is convenient and quick now, be content!"
Lu Fan shrugged helplessly, accepted reality with a wry smile, and began to prepare to start a fire and cook.
He brought some honeycomb briquettes from the storage room next door, and found a fan. He fanned the stove and lit the fire, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat. He looked just like a focused little chef.
Soon, wisps of smoke rose from the kitchen, and the aroma of food gradually filled the air, enticing the entire villa.
Soon, the two worked together to bring the steaming hot, delicious-looking meal to the living room.
Lu Fan shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brother Ling, dinner's ready!"
The sound echoed in the spacious villa, filled with the warmth and life of everyday life.
At this moment, Ling Yue was sweating profusely in the gym.
Hearing Lu Fan's call, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "You guys eat first, I'm going to take a shower. I'm all sticky and sweaty, it's so uncomfortable. Wait for me a bit."
After saying that, he quickly returned to his room, picked out a clean set of clothes from the closet, and swiftly went into the bathroom.
A few minutes later, Ling Yue walked out of the bathroom looking refreshed, his hair still damp and his body exuding a clean, post-shower scent.
He strode over to the dining table, plopped down, and his eyes lit up instantly when he saw the sumptuous meal spread out on the table. He praised it highly.
"Wow, it smells so good! Your cooking skills are absolutely amazing! Just smelling this makes me want to eat two more bowls of rice."
The three of them enthusiastically poured a little monkey wine. The clear liquid swirled gently in the delicate wine glass, emitting an enticing aroma, as if telling the story of that special experience.
Lu Fan raised his glass, his face beaming with joy and his eyes sparkling with happiness, and said, "Come on, let's toast to the housewarming and to all the hardships and achievements we've made along the way!"
An Lan and Ling Yue also raised their glasses, and the three glasses clinked gently in the air, making a crisp and pleasant sound that echoed in the living room.
"cheers!"
The three of them spoke in unison, their voices filled with anticipation and longing for the future, before downing their drinks in one gulp.
After drinking the beverage, a warm current flowed slowly down my throat, instantly warming my heart and dispelling the fatigue and worries of the day.
After dinner, the three of them sat comfortably in the living room watching TV.
Lu Fan and An Lan watched TV while snacking, occasionally bursting into laughter at the funny scenes on screen, their cheerful laughter echoing in the living room.
Suddenly, Lu Fan's ears twitched slightly as he heard a familiar "squeak squeak squeak" sound.
A knowing smile appeared on his face, and he guessed that the Monkey King must have arrived.
So he put down his snacks, got up and went outside.
The moonlight, like water, spilled over this familiar yet unfamiliar land.
Sure enough, the Monkey King was standing next to the former shelter, carrying that small lantern, looking blankly at the huge villa that had sprung up next to him.
Its little head swayed left and right, its eyes full of confusion, clearly not understanding how such a dramatic change had occurred overnight.
The magnificent villa left the Monkey King momentarily speechless.
Looking at the monkey king's adorable appearance, Lu Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud. He waved at it and called out, "Hey, King Gigi, over here!"
Upon hearing Lu Fan's voice, the Monkey King immediately became excited, and his previously bewildered eyes instantly brightened.
It came bounding over excitedly, chattering incessantly along the way, its eagerness as if telling Lu Fan about the "magical event" that had occurred here. Little did it know that all these changes were brought about by Lu Fan and his companions.
Lu Fan squatted down, patted the monkey king's head, and then led it into the large villa.
As soon as he stepped into the villa, the Monkey King was as if he had been frozen in place, his eyes wide with shock and his little mouth agape, big enough to fit an egg.
Its gaze was drawn to the dazzling chandelier in the living room; the bright light seemed to it like a magical glow from another world.
It had never seen anything so bright before, and couldn't help but stretch out its little paws, as if wanting to touch the light.
Then, at Lu Fan's invitation, the Monkey King carefully jumped onto the sofa and, imitating Lu Fan and the others, sat up straight and stared intently at the television.
