The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

Coming out of the Hongqiao Transportation Hub in Haicheng, we drove to the center of Haicheng. At this time, the streets of Haicheng were filled with a strong festive atmosphere. Big red lanterns were hung high, festive spring couplets were pasted on the doors and windows of the shops, and people's faces were filled with expectation and joy. At this lively moment, Luo Lie brought Liu Xiaoyan to No. 88 Bixun Road, an old villa full of historical charm hidden in a bustling city. The sun shines on the ancient walls through the mottled leaves, adding a touch of warm color to the building. A middle-aged woman in uniform was already waiting at the door.

Seeing Luo Lie and Liu Xiaoyan get off the car, the uniformed woman hurried over and said, "Hello, Mr. Luo Lie. I am An Ran from IKEA Agency."

"Well, do you know me?" Luo Lie asked curiously.

"Yes, Mr. Luo Lie. When the headquarters assigned this task to me, I showed you your photo." An Ran said respectfully.

"Okay, let's go in and talk." Luo Lie said to An Ran, and then he patted Liu Xiaoyan with his other hand, indicating that he would explain to her later.

Everyone gently pushed open the door, and an old and warm breath came to their faces. In the courtyard, several plum blossoms bloomed proudly, adding a touch of bright color to this cold winter. The stone road twists and turns, leading to the gate of the villa. The copper ring on the gate glows with an ancient luster, as if telling a story of the past.

An Ran took Luo Lie and Liu Xiaoyan into the villa, and the spacious living room came into view. There were gorgeous chandeliers hanging on the high ceiling, and several exquisite oil paintings hung on the walls. The retro sofas and coffee tables were placed just right, creating an elegant and comfortable atmosphere.

Liu Xiaoyan looked around, her eyes full of curiosity. "Luo Lie, this small villa is really tasteful! How did you find it?" Luo Lie walked to her side and gently put his arm around her shoulders. "I discovered it by accident." Luo Lie said calmly. He couldn't say that this was a system reward. It was my first time here.

On one side of the living room is a large French window. The sun shines through the window onto the floor, warm and bright. Liu Xiaoyan walked to the window and looked at the courtyard outside the window, her heart full of emotion. "It's really quiet and comfortable here. It feels like being away from the hustle and bustle of the city and entering a paradise."

The second floor of the villa is the bedroom and study.

In the bedroom, a large bed is placed in the center. The soft mattress and comfortable bedding make people want to lie down and have a good sleep at first sight. "Mr. Luo Lie, the mattress and bedding in this bedroom are all replaced according to your requirements. We chose the French century-old Cui Xia brand. I wonder if you are satisfied?" The agent An Ran said to Luo Lie. "Yes, there is no need to replace it for the time being." Luo Lie couldn't help but sigh at the intelligence of the system, which took this detail of the bedroom into consideration.

In the study, rows of bookshelves are full of books, and an antique desk is placed in front of the window. Luo Lie took Liu Xiaoyan's hand and walked to the desk. "In the future, you can read books, work and enjoy quiet time here." Liu Xiaoyan said with a smile, her eyes full of expectation.

The third floor of the villa is an open-air balcony, which overlooks the beautiful scenery of the entire downtown of Haicheng. Standing on the balcony, you can see the high-rise buildings in the distance and the bustling streets are crowded with people. Liu Xiaoyan took a deep breath and felt the atmosphere of this city. "Luo Lie, this place is really great. I have lived in Haicheng for more than 20 years, and this is the first time I have walked into such a beautiful place." She said with emotion.

Luo Lie walked to her side and gently held her hand. "Do you like it? Give it to you." Luo Lie said with a relaxed look. "Come on, give me your ID card?"

"Ah..." Liu Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, but she still took out her ID card and handed it to Luo Lie as a conditioned reflex. "Ah, no no no... Luo Lie... this..." After a long time, Liu Xiaoyan seemed to think of something, and hurriedly reached out to grab the ID card in Luo Lie's hand, but it was too late. Luo Lie had already handed the ID card to the agent An Ran, and then sent An Ran downstairs.

"No, no, Luo Lie, this..." Liu Xiaoyan was a little incoherent.

"Don't worry, I won't sell you." Luo Lie said with a joking face.

"Go to hell, call An agent back quickly. Your gift is too expensive, I really can't accept it." Liu Xiaoyan said in a somewhat anxious tone.

"Come on, don't worry, don't worry, let's sit down and talk slowly." Then he pulled Liu Xiaoyan to sit in the leisure area of ​​the terrace on the third floor, "You see, I spend most of my time in Manchester, and I don't have time to come to Haicheng. This house needs someone to live in it to be popular, especially this kind of old villa with a history of more than a hundred years. ..."

"This is easy, you give me the key when the time comes, I will ask my family to come over and open the window and let some fresh air in. But you can't give me the house, that's definitely not okay. I know you're not short of money, but you can't do this, who do you think I am, I'm not after your money. "Liu Xiaoyan said, she was crying.

Luo Lie looked at Liu Xiaoyan's reaction and was a little confused for a while. He stood up and walked behind her and hugged her gently. "Don't think too much, I don't mean anything else. You know that you need to be qualified to buy a house in Haicheng, and I, a foreigner, don't have this qualification, but I really like this old villa, and I can only use this Haicheng native ID card. "Luo Lie pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile.

"Really?" Liu Xiaoyan asked.

"Really, why would I lie to you, if you don't believe me, ask An agent later. "Luo Lie nodded and said.

"Mr. Luo, Ms. Liu, the transfer procedures have entered the online signing stage. The property certificate will probably be issued on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. I will send it to you at that time." After that, the agent An Ran handed a data bag to Luo Lie.

"I may not be able to stay that long. You can contact Ms. Liu when the time comes." Luo Lie pointed to Liu Xiaoyan beside him and said to An Ran.

"Okay." After that, he stepped forward and added contact information with Liu Xiaoyan, and An Ran said goodbye and left.

In the whole old villa, only Luo Lie and Liu Xiaoyan were left.

"Luo Lie, I want to sign an agreement with you to make it clear that I am holding this house on behalf of you." Liu Xiaoyan said.

"What agreement to sign? Don't I trust you?" Luo Lie was a little confused for a while. Why is this girl stubborn again?

"That won't work. You must sign it. This is more than 130 million Dongfang coins. I don't trust myself! "Liu Xiaoyan said firmly, "Wait for me, I'll consult my law students."

Finally, at Liu Xiaoyan's insistence, Luo Lie signed his name on the agreement prepared by Liu Xiaoyan with a helpless look on his face. Seeing Luo Lie signed, Liu Xiaoyan carefully put the agreement away, and took the initiative to give him a kiss after feeling relieved.

Afterwards, Luo Lie and Liu Xiaoyan went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities and food, and then began to decorate the new home. Together, they hung up red lanterns, posted festive Spring Festival couplets, and placed pots of flowers in the living room. The whole villa was filled with a festive atmosphere, warm and romantic.

In the evening, the sun shone through the window on the wooden cabinets, adding a touch of Warm colors. Liu Xiaoyan was busy in the kitchen of the old villa early in the morning. She tied an apron and began to carefully prepare today's dishes.

First, she took out fresh vegetables and meat from the refrigerator. She skillfully washed the vegetables and cut them into small, even pieces. Then, she took out a piece of tender beef, cut it into thin slices, and prepared to make a dish of stir-fried beef with green peppers. Liu Xiaoyan knew that Luo Lie could eat spicy food, so she deliberately added some more green peppers to make the dish more flavorful.

Then, she began to prepare a braised pork. This is her specialty, and she also heard Luo Lie say that this is one of his favorite dishes. She cut the pork belly into cubes and put it in Blanch the pork in water to remove blood and impurities. Then, she added a proper amount of oil to the pot, added onions, ginger and garlic to stir-fry until fragrant, and then added the pork belly and stir-fried until golden. Then, she added soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, rock sugar and other seasonings, stir-fried evenly, so that each piece of pork belly was coated with a rich sauce. Finally, she added a proper amount of water, covered the pot, and simmered slowly over low heat to make the pork belly crispy and tasty.

While waiting for the braised pork to stew, Liu Xiaoyan began to prepare other dishes. She made a stir-fried seasonal vegetable dish, which made the fresh green vegetables green and juicy, which greatly increased people's appetite. She also made a tomato and egg soup, which tasted sour and sweet , very appetizing.

Time passed quietly in Liu Xiaoyan's busyness, and soon, a table of sumptuous home-cooked dishes was ready. The green pepper fried beef was bright in color, the beef was tender and juicy, and the green pepper was just the right spiciness. The braised pork was bright red in color, fat but not greasy, and melted in the mouth. The stir-fried seasonal vegetables were refreshing and delicious, and the tomato and egg soup was sweet and sour and appetizing. Every dish was full of Liu Xiaoyan's love for Luo Lie.

Just when Liu Xiaoyan had just served the last dish, Luo Lie came over. As soon as he walked into the kitchen, he smelled the rich aroma of food. A happy smile appeared on his face. He walked over, hugged Liu Xiaoyan tightly, and said, "Thank you, Xiaoyan. The dishes you made look delicious."

Liu Xiaoyan smiled at Luo Lie and said, "It's time to eat, sit down and try it."

Luo Lie sat at the dining table, looking at a table of sumptuous dishes, and his heart was full of emotion. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. Suddenly, the richThe aroma of the food spread in his mouth. He closed his eyes and enjoyed this delicious moment. Then he tasted other dishes, and each dish made him praise it.

In this warm old villa, Liu Xiaoyan and Luo Lie enjoyed the food while sharing each other's lives. Their laughter echoed throughout the room, making people feel a strong sense of happiness.

After dinner, Luo Lie helped Liu Xiaoyan clean up the table together. They walked hand in hand to the open-air balcony on the third floor, sat on the soft sofa in the balcony leisure area, and enjoyed this quiet time. The night gradually deepened, and they leaned on each other and looked at the starry sky.

Liu Xiaoyan leaned on Luo Lie's shoulder and said, "I'm so happy today! "Luo Lie, look, the stars are so beautiful." Liu Xiaoyan pointed to the starry sky and said.

Luo Lie looked along her finger and saw countless stars twinkling in the night sky, like dazzling gems. "Yes, it's beautiful. Just like you, beautiful and shining. "

Liu Xiaoyan laughed and said, "You are really good at talking."

Luo Lie held Liu Xiaoyan's hand tightly and said, "I am speaking from the heart. Xiaoyan, thank you..."

Luo Lie was kissed by Liu Xiaoyan before he finished speaking.

This kiss seemed to stop time. Liu Xiaoyan's action made Luo Lie stunned for a moment, and then, an indescribable warmth and touch surged in his heart.

Liu Xiaoyan's heart beat like a drum. She didn't know why she suddenly made such a bold move. It was just that at that moment, she didn't want to hear Luo Lie's unfinished words. She knew about Luo Lie's life over the years and understood why Luo Lie said thank you to her, but she didn't want Luo Lie to have too much psychological burden. She just wanted to use this kiss to express her deep feelings.

Luo Lie hugged Liu Xiaoyan tightly, feeling her softness and warmth, and responded to her kiss enthusiastically.

"Don't... don't do it here. "Liu Xiaoyan blushed, lowered her head slightly, and whispered softly.

Luo Lie smiled and gently stroked Liu Xiaoyan's cheek with his fingers. Then he picked up Liu Xiaoyan and walked to the second floor.

In this old house, they seemed to be in a world that belonged only to them. There was no noise and disturbance from the outside world, only their love and warmth for each other.
