Chapter 333: Chapter 53 Recreation Looking to Rent a House to Cook_1

For the city folks, the park offers artificial mountains and stone paths, ponds surrounded by green trees, the fragrance of flowers coupled with melodious bird chirping, and fish swimming in shallow waters. Coming here during the weekend is akin to getting closer to nature—perhaps even inspiring some literary souls to write a spontaneous poem or prose.

However, for Yan Fei, who’s accustomed to the primitive scenery of Dinosaur World and frequently flies overhead, this park is nothing more than a few water holes surrounded by a handful of trees.

If it weren’t for the girl beside him, this place wouldn’t attract him at all.

In reality, Xu Xiaoyan isn’t overly interested either. No matter how well the park pavilions are constructed, they can’t match the charm of the centuries-old temples and towers she frequented as a child. The artificial mountains, ponds, and green trees can’t compete with the vegetable garden next to the Sancha River cattle farm—where roses bloom around the garden, and the transplanted willows by the river are thriving. Sitting on the grass there, with the cool breeze blowing, is far more comfortable than this bustling park scene.

After a hearty meal and a bit of sun, the young girl pulled Yan Fei to a secluded spot, lazily sitting on the grass, watching the fitness enthusiasts perform their workout routines as if they were juggling acts.

"I should get a hula hoop too!" Watching a few young men and women swing their hula hoops, the girl suddenly seemed intrigued.

"Go ahead, buy it if you’d like. But it’s just a plastic ring. What’s the use of spinning it around?" From a certain monster’s perspective, a hula hoop is nothing to be interested in.

"It’s useful! It’s quite popular right now and can help tone the body. It’s just what I need— having meals with you during the summer break, it’s always meat, I’m afraid I’m gaining weight. This could help!" Xu Xiaoyan explained.

"Really? I eat the same every day, and I’m not gaining weight. Don’t you also practice yoga?" Yan Fei didn’t think the girl looked heavier in any way.

"What do you mean, no? Look!" Noticing that no one was around, the girl pulled her clothes tight, trying to show Yan Fei her excess weight. "It’s all your fault. You feed me so much meat, even yoga doesn’t seem to help anymore."

"I can’t tell. Here, let me have a feel and see..."

"Ah! Yan Xiaofei, are you asking to be taught a lesson?"

"What’s wrong with a little squeeze? Come on, let me feel, or you can feel me instead!"

"Ew! Who wants to touch your stinky flesh!"

"You usually can’t keep your hands off me, though."

"Humph! You deserved it!"

"Fine, don’t touch then! At least let me have a look!"

"Dream on! Look at what, your giant head?"

"So, touching is prohibited and now looking is too?"

"That’s right! You’re not allowed to do any of it!"

"Fine, don’t let me. Big deal, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before..."

"Eh! Yan Xiaofei, when exactly did you sneak a peek? Come clean now, did you do something naughty while I was asleep?"

"If I wanted to do something naughty, would I need to wait until you’re asleep? It was you who let me see..."

"When did I ever let you see? Explain yourself clearly, or I won’t let this go!"

"In the morning! When I turned into a butterfly to wake you up, you were the one who let me see!"

"Haha... Yan Xiaofei, when you seriously make up stories, you really are the most adorable! Alright, I’ll let you off the hook this time. But as punishment, you have to make up another story for me! Start now!"

"Sure, what do you want to hear? Should I tell you a story about me bravely rescuing the Kronosaurus, or a story about me teaching the Suchomimus a lesson using my seventy-two transformations?"

"I didn’t realize you have so many stories! Any one will do, start quickly!"

"Then I’ll tell the story of how I tricked a group of Pterosaurs using thirty-six changes!"

"Yan Xiaofei, you’re hilarious, isn’t it seventy-two changes? How come it turned into thirty-six changes? Can’t you put some effort when telling stories?"

"Who says I’m not putting effort? What I meant is that I don’t need seventy-two changes to trick the Pterosaurs, thirty-six changes are enough. Are you going to listen or not?"

"Yes yes yes, begin! I’ll keep quiet now!"

"Hmm, let’s start. So, one day....."

Amongst the lush greenery of the park’s corner, these convoluted yet immersive stories began to unfold.

Telling the truth feels so good!

Using this somewhat peculiar method to tell these things, that had been bottled up inside me. Sharing experiences that were unique and one-of-a-kind with my girlfriend.

Every time Yan Fei told these stories, he always felt a sense of unreality, but it was precisely this feeling that left him totally engrossed.

The sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting mottled patterns on them. His girlfriend watched him tell his stories with rapt attention, totally entranced.

"You tell it so well! It’s as if it were true!" After the story ended, after a while, the girl murmured softly. "If your story were true, then I could see how you transform seventy-two times, and see the primordial landscapes you described, they must be gorgeous!"

They are indeed gorgeous! Even the blood-splattered hunting among the dinosaurs was filled with brutal beauty!

Yan Fei answered in his heart.

From thereat, Yan Fei’s bike carried Xu Xiaoyan all over the streets and alleys of the provincial city.

They spent their days exploring, and at night in the Agricultural University library. One copied books, the other read. Occasionally looking up at each other, sharing a foolish smile before returning back to work.

Under these circumstances, time always seems to pass too quickly.

As they left the library one night, the girl lamented, "Time passes so fast! It feels like the holiday just started and classes will start in two days. Tomorrow is our last day, where should we go next? It feels like there’s nowhere to go!"

Actually, this year’s National Day coincided with the weekend, and the university had given a five-day break, which was quite long. However, the perception of time tends to vary from person to person.

Yan Fei nodded deeply, "Let’s not go anywhere tomorrow! I want to rent a house for you to cook. You’ve been eating in the school cafeteria every day, and you’re too stingy to spend money, I’m sure your meals are not good!"

"Where’s the food not good? I’ve told you I’m fine. Renting a house requires buying pots and pans, which also costs money. I really have not been hungry, I’m not lying. Just look at me, I haven’t lost a bit of weight!" the girl argued.

"Can you have good food? Everything here is expensive, and you spent less than fifty dollars in a month, do you think you’ve eaten well?" Yan Fei expressed serious doubts.

"How is it possible for a month? It’s not even twenty days since you left last time, and you know very well that the dining hall of our school is pretty cheap. I’m spending a lot in a month."

"Anyway, I want to rent it, whether you agree or not." Yan Fei said somewhat sullenly. "Once the house is rented, I can bring more things to you in the future. Don’t you want to eat our home-cooked meals? Anyway, I’m definitely coming here, If I bring some stuff from home and you cook it, it might actually save money!"

"Well... okay! Do as you wish! You do have your reasons. It’s also quite convenient to have a room to stay in when you come. These days, you must have spent quite a bit to stay in a hotel outside every night!"

"Hmm! Then let’s go house hunting tomorrow!" Yan Fei, having gained approval, felt very pleased.

Of course, there was no need to tell his girlfriend that he was staying in Dinosaur World at night. If he hadn’t been supplementing his meals on Vegetable Garden Island at night, and solely relied on the meals he had with his girlfriend, he was certain that he would have starved to death.
