Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

"This young man is so lucky." The neighbors kept praising him.

After some conversation, they returned to their own roof.

"Please come in, this is my little world." Zhou Quan smiled and invited Sisi into the house.

Seeing that Li Sisi was a little shy, he gently put his arm around her shoulders from behind and guided her inside.

"Wow!" Li Sisi was deeply attracted by the home decoration and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

They browsed every space together and felt the warmth of each other's lives.

"It's really wonderful. It's a beauty I have never seen anywhere else." Li Sisi praised.

It was indeed a display of modern, high-end decor, beyond anything she had anticipated.

After gradually getting familiar with the environment, she began to relax and explore her new home with interest.

“It’s quite what I wanted.

I decorated this place very carefully, and now it’s just missing the owner’s input.” Zhou Quan said with full sense of ability.

Faced with his pride, Sisi smiled shyly but did not respond immediately.

Mr. Chen took Li Sisi's arm and stepped into the courtyard. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the courtyard became lively.

The news that Mr. Chen brought back his fiancée instantly captured everyone's attention like a star.

"Xiao Chen's fiancée looks really stunning." the aunt praised.

His wife quickly agreed, "Indeed, she is very pretty and elegant."

"Our daughter-in-law is still more outstanding." The man who interrupted was given a cold look by his wife before he even finished his words.

"Stop interrupting me!" she responded shyly and angrily.

With no other options, he had to step aside tactfully.

Everyone was laughing, except Sha Zhu, who was still confused because of what Chen Sheng said just now.

"It's hard to say, who knows what will happen." Sha Zhu said disdainfully while organizing his thoughts.

"It's hard to say what happens to others, just look at yourself." The wife started the argument without any hesitation.

"What's wrong with me? I'm a master chef with superb cooking skills. The big house is my capital, so finding a wife is a piece of cake." Sha Zhu was arrogant and proud of it.

Because the big house in the yard has always belonged to the owner, Sha Zhu feels quite respected and he is very proud of it.

Although everyone disagreed with Sha Zhu's bragging in their hearts, they were unwilling to pay any more attention to it.

"That's true, Master Chef, it's a pity that you are still single." The wife said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Laughter flowed in the air. Sha Zhu felt a lot of pressure from being watched. After taking the opportunity to find fault, he turned away and disappeared.

The people in the yard had little patience for his actions and didn't pay much attention to them.

After Sha Zhu left, Jia Zhang came over slowly, holding the unfinished sole in her hand, and said with a hint of coldness: "It's funny that you're in such a hurry to take it home before you've made a decision."

"Hey, didn't they all say they would get married after the New Year?" Yan Fugui responded with a little expectation and disappointment.

"It's still a long way to go." Jia Zhang was obviously not optimistic about this matter and said in a cold tone.

"I don't think Mr. Chen will hold any large-scale banquet." Yan Fugui sighed, revealing his regret.

At this time, the second aunt interrupted: "There are very few wedding banquets in this world. Have you seen such a grand ceremony around you?"

Then she emphasized: "But Chen's family is different. How can they be better than other ordinary people?"

Jia Zhang did not comment, but sneered: "What can I do? I have also inquired about their family. His father works in a department store and his mother works in a textile factory. How many families with such status can there be in this compound?"

After that, he added: "The woman's background is unknown, but from what I can see, she should come from a decent family."

Everyone began to talk about the topic of Mr. Chen and Li Sisi's wedding.

At the same time, in the house, Li Sisi and Mr. Chen were discussing lunch arrangements.

"Sisi, what are your thoughts this afternoon?" Mr. Chen asked with concern.

"I don't know either. I'll make whatever you want to eat." Li Sisi answered generously. It was obvious that Mr. Chen had already prepared everything in the kitchen, and she didn't want to compete for the opportunity to make the decision.

So, Mr. Chen took her hand and walked towards the kitchen, ready to spend a happy cooking time together.

"You prepared so much meat?" Li Sisi asked in surprise, looking at the food in the kitchen.

"Shh!" Chen Cheng made a silencing gesture and whispered to her, "You know I've been to a grocery store and I can get these.

Let’s enjoy it secretly and keep a low profile.”

Li Sisi suddenly realized what was going on.

She is also a child of the compound and understands the complex interpersonal relationships among neighbors.

“Don’t worry, there’s no need to worry about food at home, but we just have to be careful.

There lives an old lady with poor hearing over there. She is very picky about food. If she tastes it, we might have to entertain her in the future. "Mr. Chen said with a smile.

"Ah?" Li Sisi was obviously a little surprised.

"It's okay, they won't cause any trouble.

Just be careful, there really aren't many good people in this yard." Mr. Chen continued with a smile.

"Okay, I understand." Li Sisi nodded in agreement eagerly.

Mr. Chen smiled and patted Li Sisi's hair, "Hee, your hair is all messy." Seeing her shaking her head to avoid him, he smiled and said, "That's quite cute."

Sure enough, the deaf old lady from the neighbor's house was attracted by the fragrance.

Seeing that the fragrance came from Mr. Chen's side, she glanced at them and went back to her room.

The two enjoyed a delicious meal and then cleaned up the table together.

Then they relaxed in chairs in the living room, enjoying the peaceful afternoon.

"Your cooking skills are great. I'm in for a treat," Mr. Chen commented.

"That's right, I always help my mother cook at home." Li Sisi replied with a smile, with pride flashing in her eyes.

Holding Li Sisi's hand, Chen said jokingly: "I am a lucky guy to have found you."

"I'll leave the housework to you from now on." Li Sisi stuck out her tongue jokingly.

Hearing this, Chen Sheng suddenly took her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and whispered, "Will you cook for me?"

Li Sisi responded a little nervously, "I..." The first time she experienced such intimacy made her heart beat faster.

"Can I?" Mr. Chen took a step closer and asked in a low voice in her ear, as if he was searching for the sweetest poem.

Her voice was trembling with tears in it, and her whole body trembled slightly when she said "I'm willing to..."

Hearing this, Mr. Chen slowly let her go and let her return to her seat. The atmosphere in the room became much warmer.

Li Sisi, who was sitting, felt a little flustered, not sure whether she should remain still or move.

"Sisi." This time, Mr. Chen gently lifted her up, let her snuggle on his legs, and called her name in a low voice.

"Hmm..." Li Sisi's mind went blank, as if she was about to lose herself in warmth.

Mr. Chen looked at his future wife in his arms, and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her lightly.

"Hmm..." The whole body was shaking as if it was electrocuted, and every cell was immersed in throbbing emotions.

"I'm leaving." A low voice sounded, and Li Sisi whispered with her eyes lowered.

Mr. Chen smiled and tried to persuade him, "Please stay a little longer." But his hand was still naughty and unruly.

"No, you will take the opportunity to make fun of me, which is not good at all! Big bad guy! Super bad guy!" Li Sisi pouted and complained in a coquettish tone.

He nodded: "Okay, I'll take you home." He put her down and gently helped her put her clothes together, being very considerate.

Faced with separation, although Li Sisi was a little reluctant, she couldn't refuse too much: "I really have to go." After saying this, there was a bit of anticipation in her voice.

Chen Sheng felt the warmth between his fingers and said with a smile, "How about coming to my house for a nice meal every week?"

"Yeah." Li Sisi's heart was filled with reluctance to part with Chen Sheng, and there seemed to be sparkling tears in her eyes.

“Okay, don’t be sad.

This is your home too, you can come back whenever you want. "Mr. Chen gently held her in his arms again and comforted her.

"Okay." Li Sisi agreed softly.

After hugging for a while, Li Sisi gently broke free, "I really should go, it's getting late." Mr. Chen looked at her, touched her cheek with heartache, straightened her clothes, and looked at her deeply for a few times.

The one walking in front was Mr. Chen, and Li Sisi followed with her head down, remaining silent for a while along the way, which felt a little awkward but also warm.

Back in the middle courtyard, Chen Sheng and the lively people were still talking.

The wife of one of them said, "Xiao Chen, are you sending your wife home?"

"Yes, let her feel the atmosphere here, and we also enjoyed the meal together." Mr. Chen replied with a smile.

The other man’s wife said with a smile: “It is indeed time to get familiar with him. He will be a member of our compound in the future.”

They waved goodbye.

Then Li Sisi greeted the other party politely, and then the two waved goodbye again.

When they rode out of the door, Li Sisi sat on the back seat of the bicycle, and neither of them spoke.

After a long time, she suddenly hugged Chen Sheng tightly.

Mr. Chen was slightly surprised and understood her deep attachment.

While riding, Chen Sheng chuckled and asked, "Will we meet again next week?"

"Yes!" Li Sisi responded firmly in a crisp voice.

Then she hugged him even tighter, showing she was more open than ever before.

Mr. Chen then slowed down. It was supposed to take more than twenty minutes, but because of her closeness, it took nearly an hour longer.

After arriving at Li Sisi's house, he stopped, but Li Sisi still held him tightly. "Sisi?" he called again.

It was not until this time that Li Sisi woke up from her deep affection and slowly got out of the car.

Mr. Chen looked at her and guessed that she might be sleepy in such cold weather and even fall asleep in the back seat of the car.

"You go back first, I'll pick you up tomorrow." He stopped his bike and hugged her gently.

"Then I'll go back first." After making sure that there was no one around, Li Sisi hugged him back tightly.

Not noticing Chen Sheng's quick kiss, she quickly rushed into the house.

After sending Li Sisi home, Mr. Chen returned to the compound to continue chatting.

One of them joked: "Xiao Chen, you are so diligent in sending your wife to school."

Mr. Chen laughed and said, "It's not that fast. We talked so long that we even missed dinner."

The deaf old lady also joined the conversation and suddenly brought up the topic of marriage.

However, his tone towards Yan Fugui was a little unfriendly.

Mr. Chen was in a good mood and retorted casually.

Yan Fugui hurriedly apologized, unable to conceal his sarcastic expression.
