Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 420 This is what it tastes like!
In stark contrast to the hectic life in the capital, Ximen Lang's life here was much more carefree.

Although Ximen Lang couldn't do anything reckless because of Xia Yiyi's health, he also had to serve her at her beck and call.

They have to take care of everything, from food and drink to other necessities.

But who can blame us for wanting to?
You've said that if you don't even cherish your own woman, whose woman are you planning to cherish?
Someone else's?

Ximen Lang is not that despicable!

In addition, Xia Yiyi always manages to express her little temper in just the right way.

It's a way to let Ximen Lang experience the many little joys of the couple living together, without being too over the top and causing others to feel disgusted.

They simply enjoy it.

A day passed quickly and quietly thanks to Simon Lang's immersive experience.

Even when it was already the next morning.

Ximen Lang was still lingering in bed, holding his wife tightly and unwilling to let go.

Xia Yi realized that she really couldn't delay any longer, or it would interfere with important matters.

Ximen Lang, still reluctant to leave, finally got up to wash up after Xia Yiyi's earnest persuasion.

After making arrangements for Xia Yiyi, he returned to the world of Sijiu City.

Then, they couldn't wait even a moment longer.

Ximen Lang immediately dragged Bai Ling, who had been busy all night and was still catching up on sleep, out of bed.

"Stop sleeping! Get up and party!"

Bai Ling was so angry she wanted to bite Ximen Lang!
But the arm can never twist the thigh.

If this drags on any longer, Ximen Lang will probably end up in his bed.

Helpless, Bai Ling could only yawn and crawl out of her warm bed, following the excited Ximen Lang to...
"Wait, aren't we going to the guard battalion's barracks? Why are you going back to the courtyard house?"

"Why, what else could we be doing? Of course, we're bringing Big Yellow from next door along!"

This answer really left Bai Ling completely baffled.

However, when she heard Simon Lang's subsequent explanation...
"When I first came here, the dog next door wouldn't bite anyone, but it bit me the most! Now, although I've slowly tamed it by feeding it sausage after sausage, I still can't swallow this anger!"

"But to catch it and give it a good beating would be too low-class and not in line with my style. Just then, didn't Zhang Long and Zhao Hu say that a guy like Da Huang is afraid of men like them who have fought their way up from the battlefield?"

"I'll take it straight to the guard battalion and stuff it among all the combat heroes and valiant warriors! Let's see if it's still so arrogant, and if it dares to whine at me again! You little punk, I can't kill it!"

Bai Ling was speechless.

Keep in mind that this happened just a few months ago, and the animal was a small dog that was barely up to Simon Lang's knees.

Just because Big Yellow barked at him a few times back then, he still remembers it to this day!

How petty!
"You're really something!"

Bai Ling was speechless and didn't know what to say!

They could only watch helplessly as Ximen Lang excitedly ran to the neighboring courtyard, where he was greeted with an overwhelmingly enthusiastic welcome.

With a few cans of meat, which would definitely be considered hard currency in this era, he took Dahuang from the dog owner. Dahuang had been so tempted by Ximen Lang's ham sausages that he couldn't move.

Then, it was a grand and imposing procession.

They called in several more drivers, who brought in several trucks, forming a convoy!
They drove in a grand procession, laden with supplies, towards the guard battalion's encampment.

During the process, Bai Ling was so sleepy that she kept yawning.

Having missed Bai Ling terribly after not seeing her for two days, Ximen Lang immediately moved closer to her. His little hands roamed restlessly as he winked and made faces.

"See? I told you I couldn't live without me, didn't I? Look how haggard you look after just two days. Tell me, have you been missing me so much these past two days that you haven't been able to sleep? It's okay, just say so if you miss me. We're an old married couple, there's no shame in it."

Seeing that Ximen Lang really knew how to pat himself on the back.

Bai Ling, speechless at Ximen Lang's narcissism, slapped him hard, sending his tentatively extended hand flying back.

Then he said in an annoyed tone.

"Ximen Lang, you're so narcissistic! You said you couldn't sleep because you missed me. You have no idea how well I've been sleeping these past two days! Even Aunt Wang said I look much better! I've been so comfortable that I almost forgot I even had you. Missing you? You really dare to think that way!"

"Pretend, keep pretending."

"Who's lying to you? I'm stating the facts!"

"The truth? Then what's going on here?"

"I"

"See, you can't say it now, can you? You still miss me."

Bai Ling was truly at a loss for words when she heard this.

After all, she couldn't just tell the truth directly, could she?

It is said that because of those three exercises yesterday, most of the leaders in Beijing gathered together and stayed up all night.

Bai Ling was too busy keeping it a secret to tell Ximen Lang, so how could she possibly tell him this?

Therefore, it's really not easy to explain this matter.

Bai Ling decisively gave up struggling and casually made up an excuse.

"I spent all night on my phone yesterday, is that not allowed? Oh, so you can play on your phone all night, but I can't get addicted to it too?"

Now it was Ximen Lang's turn to be unsettled.

The reason, of course, is quite simple.

That means you really shouldn't overuse your phone!
Especially considering that the person scrolling through her phone is Bai Ling, who lives in the world of Beijing, what if Bai Ling accidentally finds some incredible information on the internet where she can search for anything, leading to unpredictable consequences or even learning something new?
Wouldn't that mean he's doomed?
Therefore, it was only a few days after she gave him the phone that Bai Ling showed signs of becoming obsessed with it.

So much so that they've started staying up all night playing on their phones.

He sighed in admiration.
"Cellphones really do cause a lot of harm. I should have known better than to give it to her!"

He tried to persuade her earnestly.

"Ling, things online are all virtual; you can't control them. The waters here are very deep."

"So you're putting this in your hands, right?"

With just one sentence, Ximen Lang swallowed back all the advice he had in his heart.

Not daring to delve any deeper into the topic, Ximen Lang immediately abandoned any further attempts to persuade him.

And so, amidst their inner turmoil, they arrived with Bai Ling at the temporary post of the guard battalion stationed outside the city, near Nanluoguxiang.

Then, before the grand convoy even arrived at its destination, the resounding slogans from the encampment had already reached the ears of Ximen Lang and Bai Ling.

That familiar tone immediately struck Ximen Lang as something special.
"Yes, that's the taste! That's exactly it!"

Then, as expected, Ximen Lang discovered that the once unruly Dahuang had begun to behave.
