Chapter 145: +1: Beauty's Autumn Sleep
After the wrap-up banquet,
and drinking the farewell wine with everyone,
Li Luo opened the passenger door with a flushed face and sat in, swaying.
He had to sway.
Otherwise, he would have to keep drinking.
He waved to the few people seeing him off, and the Grand Cherokee drove slowly into the scorching noon sun.
"Gulp~"
He took half a bottle of mineral water handed by Wu Yu, and his eyes quickly regained clarity.
"Go to Shichahai first."
Pouring a little more water to wipe his face, he said to the little assistant driving: "I will live there often from now on; you should go and recognize the door. I'm moving in the day after tomorrow; you come over to join the fun too."
After tossing for more than four months, the courtyard finished renovation ten days ago.
The relevant inspection work was all fine.
Calculating the time, Li Luo simply took advantage of the gap before *Divine Physician and Heroic Couple* started filming to move in.
"Okay."
Wu Yu turned the steering wheel and agreed readily.
A few hours later,
the Cherokee drove toward Shichahai facing the afternoon sun; under Li Luo's direction, the vehicle drove slowly through one alley after another, and looking at the courtyards around, the little assistant swallowed her saliva.
She thought it would be some apartment building.
Now it was very clear that it had to be at least a detached courtyard.
In this location,
how much money did this house cost!
"Right here."
Pointing forward, Li Luo signaled Wu Yu to park on the side.
This was a relatively quiet alley, the passage was very spacious, two cars could be parked beside the courtyard gate, and tall ginkgo trees covered the sunlight, casting patches of coolness.
"Mr. Li."
As soon as they got out of the car, two middle-aged men who had been waiting here early walked up quickly.
One was the person in charge of the renovation work for the entire courtyard, and the other was the head of the inspection team.
The homeowner returned to take possession of the house.
Reasonably and emotionally, they had to come and introduce the situation.
Li Luo carried the heavy briefcase and exchanged pleasantries with the two, took the lead to walk toward the courtyard gate, and Wu Yu followed quickly with curiosity after looking around.
Arriving at the courtyard gate,
she slowed her pace.
Two drum-shaped stone piers were on the left and right, with exquisite flower patterns carved on them.
Large vermilion gates.
On one side of the gate hung a wooden sign.
It read: "Private residence, please do not enter."
There were many tourists in Beijing.
Quite a few liked to stroll through the alleys, so this was a reminder.
On the other side was an electronic password lock; Wu Yu found this thing quite fresh. She stepped over the threshold and followed the conversation in front into the courtyard, facing a beautifully patterned shadow wall.
A row of low, thin bamboo was planted by the wall.
The lush green look made people feel comfortable after coming in.
Crossing the moon gate,
Wu Yu felt her eyes light up.
Tall trees stood in the corner of the courtyard, and clear spring water flowed down from the crevices of the small rockery, falling into a uniquely shaped pond where a dozen koi were swimming back and forth.
The flowing water was trickling, looking full of vitality.
"Mr. Li, these koi were given to you by our company, wishing you a bright future."
Listening to the bespectacled man's words,
Wu Yu drilled into the side wing room.
The courtyard looked ancient, but the inside was quite modern; the reception room was furnished with sofas, tea tables, and various expensive furniture, and large appliances were all fully equipped, making her unable to help sitting on the sofa covered with dust cloths.
Shaking it lightly, it was soft and elastic.
It couldn't be more comfortable.
Her fingers slid across the shiny automatic mahjong table, and Wu Yu walked out of the wing room.
Other places looked like bedrooms, which were not good to visit.
Moving her gaze,
she saw a small staircase.
Wu Yu walked over with excitement, followed the steps to the large terrace above the side room; the ginkgo leaves overhead were rustling in the autumn wind, and the entire small courtyard below was in full view.
The sound of talking drifted, and her boss was nodding repeatedly under the introduction of those two people.
Sunlight fell on his side face.
He looked even more handsome.
Wu Yu stared at Li Luo for two glances, then quickly moved her gaze away; she held the railing and looked around, surrounded by low bungalows, and the view was more than just open.
This feeling of touching the sky and the ground.
Couldn't be more comfortable.
Compared to the house she shared with others, this place was like heaven.
The fatigue of driving,
dissipated quickly in the autumn breeze.
"Xiao Yu."
She didn't know how much time had passed, but the shout made her come back to her senses.
Looking down, those two strangers had disappeared, and her boss was waving at her in the middle of the courtyard.
"Hey~"
She answered hurriedly and walked down quickly.
"Help me tidy up, how about it?" Li Luo looked at the little assistant with a smile and spread his hands: "Brother Luo will treat you to a big meal tonight."
After figuring out the purpose of various places in the courtyard and the location of the electrical switches, he wanted to organize it himself; although he hired a professional team to do a deep cleaning, some things had to be done by hand.
Otherwise, it didn't feel right.
"No problem."
Wu Yu snapped her fingers immediately.
They rolled up their sleeves and got busy.
Li Luo quickly put away the dust cloths, and the little assistant ran outside the alley to purchase cleaning supplies.
The renovation fee wasn't spent in vain; in addition to repairing the entire courtyard and landscaping, the corresponding large furniture and appliances had to be equipped, and the grade couldn't be low!
It was only 2003 now, and the purchasing power of one million was quite astonishing.
So this courtyard wasn't particularly large.
So the necessary large items had to be there.
Money was spent in the right place, and the main point was moving in with a suitcase.
The house in Taiyang Garden
was a surprise.
This was the one he followed from beginning to end; although Li Luo had just finished filming, he didn't feel tired at all while wiping everywhere in the new house with a rag; instead, he felt an unusually enjoyable feeling.
In three years, he finally had a place that truly belonged to him.
That sense of satisfaction in his heart,
let alone.
【One part cultivation, ten parts harvest; the joy of settling down is always deep-rooted】
【Indulgence successful】
【Reward: Physique Experience +10】
Until after eight o'clock in the evening, Li Luo returned to the Beiying residential area with unfinished interest.
There were still a lot of things to buy for the new house.
He definitely couldn't move in now.
If he didn't have to send Wu Yu back to rest, he would have stayed in the courtyard for a while longer; even if he didn't do anything, just looking at the house made him happy.
Arriving at the door, his footsteps stopped suddenly.
Through the crack in the door,
light was shining out.
Inside, there was the faint sound of a TV.
Except for himself, only one person had the key to this place.
Li Luo's expression was joyful.
He opened the door quickly and peeked inside.
On the coffee table in the living room were a few exquisite dishes; he didn't need to eat them to know they were cold. The decanter held more than half a pot of red wine, and the rim of the cup was printed with a faint lipstick mark, with residual wine inside.
In the sofa,
Xu Qing was sleeping on her side.
The light from the TV flickered continuously on her fair face.
She was wearing a black nightdress.
The hem slipped down.
Her plump thighs were half-covered.
She didn't know what good thing she dreamed of, but dimples appeared.
The air conditioner sent out a gentle breeze, and strands of short hair swayed lightly on her cheeks.
What a picture of a beauty sleeping in autumn.
Li Luo tiptoed to bring the luggage in, carefully closed the door, and finally walked slowly to Xu Qing's side and squatted down, looking at this beautiful face with a smile.
This big girl probably wanted to give him a surprise.
It's just that while waiting,
she fell asleep!
After watching for a while, Li Luo's mind drifted.
His gaze began to uncontrollably sweep toward some deep places, and slowly he grinned.
Sunlight was brilliant.
Azure seawater hit the golden beach wave after wave.
Clusters of spray, like seven-colored rainbows.
Dreamlike.
The rainbow-like spray spread to the sand, forming all kinds of colorful candies, and even the air floated with a sweet, greasy smell.
Xu Qing lay in a pile of clouds, staring blankly upward.
Among the golden coconut leaves, there were fruits like diamonds.
So beautiful~
Another rustling sound.
She looked vaguely in the direction the sound came from.
She only saw a man glowing with golden light, walking over with vigorous steps; his strong muscles were covered with olive oil, his whole body was shiny, and his handsome face made her intoxicated.
While walking, swaying.
Majestic to the extreme.
"Xiao Luo!!!"
Xu Qing couldn't help but let out a low cry; she lifted her hand lightly and placed her fingertips on her neck.
Crossing hills, and crossing plains.
Just at this moment,
the man glowing with golden light came to her side.
It was clearly Li Luo's appearance.
She bit her lip hard, watching the other party approach slowly..
Feeling the sea breeze blowing, Xu Qing tightened her toes and stabbed straight toward the sun like a rainbow ball.
The spray surged.
The clouds she was lying on also began to sway.
The whole world spun, seven-colored streamers flew everywhere like meteors, dancing faster and faster!
"Hoo!!!"
Xu Qing opened her eyes wide and took a rapid breath.
But why.
Was it still that swaying feeling of riding a pirate ship?
This is?
Xiao Luo, really?
Slow down!!!
Xu Qing's brain hadn't completely cleared up yet, and her eyes looked a bit floating.
"Are you awake?"
Li Luo leaned forward and bit her nose with a smile.
"Xiao Luo?"
This real touch made Xu Qing come back to her senses.
"Brother Luo!"
Her hands held his head tightly.
"Brother Luo~"
Her heels hooked back.
"~~~"
Xu Qing couldn't make any sound anymore; she looked straight at the TV, where *Animal World* was playing, and a cheetah with a vigorous figure was galloping in the vast grassland, launching a crazy attack on its prey.
*Animal World* finished playing.
That strong cheetah had finished its attack and was sitting there resting.
The prey was unexpectedly unharmed, but its whole body was covered in crystal-clear sweat, and its hair was also wet and stuck to its face, looking as if it had collapsed!
"Give me a drink too."
Xu Qing patted Li Luo's arm, her voice slightly hoarse.
Taking the wine glass,
she drank it all in one gulp.
She finally recovered.
"Bullying people."
Putting down the wine glass, she immediately bit Li Luo's thigh hard: "Bullying me while I was still sleeping; you're the worst!"
"Pa~"
Li Luo slapped her without ceremony, hitting her buttocks until they rippled.
"Letting you travel for so long."
"Pa~"
"Letting you lie to me that you'd only be back tomorrow."
"Pa~"
"Letting you be so good-looking."
That last slap was because he couldn't think of any other excuse, and the Q-elastic feel made him reluctant to stop.
Three slaps in a row.
Made Sister Xu Qing cry out repeatedly.
"Annoying, it's all swollen."
She twisted her waist and hugged Li Luo coquettishly: "I wasn't afraid of coughing, right? Anyway, there was nothing wrong, so I just played for a few more months, just as a big vacation for myself."
"Why did you come back
Li Luo looked at the bright red palm print on her plump, perky buttocks and couldn't help but stroke it, saying, "Don't play this kind of surprise on me in the future. You letting me see you earlier is the biggest surprise."
"Understand?"
These words made Xu Qing feel as if she had gulped down several pounds of honey.
Sweet from head to toe~
"It's good that you're back."
Li Luo patted her waist and let her sit up: "Why don't you accompany me to buy things tomorrow? There are still many items over there that need to be purchased, pots, pans, bedding, small appliances, and all sorts of messy things."
"Okay~"
Xu Qing was all smiles.
Having not seen each other for a while, she now couldn't wait to be stuck together twenty-four hours a day.
"What is that?"
Seeing Li Luo bring over a briefcase, Xu Qing asked curiously.
"It's probably money."
Li Luo turned back and sat down, patting the heavy briefcase: "There was a change a while ago, and the production team added some scenes for me. This is what the investor gave me today. I haven't had a chance to open it yet."
There is always time for a glance.
But thinking with his butt, he knew it was money, so he wasn't in a hurry to check.
It's not like there's a rush.
"Swish~"
The zipper opened, and the bright red bills came into view.
Even if the money in the bank card is many times more than this, the impact of seeing cash still made Li Luo's eyes slightly dazed. Stacks of banknotes lay quietly in the bag.
He took a deep breath; the air was filled with the smell of money.
"Quite generous, aren't they~"
Xu Qing helped him take the money out of the bag and stacked it on the table.
Brand new banknotes.
There were still seals on them, fifteen stacks in total.
That is to say, Li Si Lin packed a big red envelope of 150,000 for him. Xu Qing was right; that guy is truly generous. If it were a stingier boss, he would probably have dismissed him with one or two thousand!
"He's a stand-up guy."
First, he took his phone to send a thank-you text to Li Si Lin, then Li Luo smiled and tore the seal off a stack of money: "But he didn't lose out either; I also added a lot of scenes for him."
"Swish~"
A casual flick.
The cash in his hand exploded into the sky like a party popper and then fell down in a flurry.
Inside the entire living room, it started raining banknotes.
Li Luo spread his arms.
Letting the banknotes fall on him, he squinted his eyes to enjoy this feeling. A life of luxury is nothing more than this.
This flamboyant appearance made Xu Qing's eyes completely obsessed.
"Sister Qing."
Li Luo slapped the stack of banknotes and raised his eyebrows at the woman: "I haven't tried the feeling of lying on banknotes yet. Why don't we give it a try?"
"Okay~"
Xu Qing jumped up excitedly.
The two of them nimbly took several stacks of money each and ran quickly toward the bedroom. Under the unbridled laughter of the Beijing girl, bundles of hundred-yuan bills danced in the sky, and the cute banknotes drifted everywhere.
Until the entire bed was covered in red.
Finally, Xu Qing rolled over onto it and gave Li Luo a fierce, flirtatious wink.
