Shen Ye held Mu Xiaoxi's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, I will always be by your side, and I won't make you feel lonely or uneasy."

Mu Xiaoxi felt Shen Ye's warmth, and her nervousness gradually eased.She smiled and nodded, expressing her gratitude: "Thank you, Shen Ye. With you by my side, I really feel very happy."

Shen Ye hugged Mu Xiaoxi lightly, and said, "Fool, let's face everything together, and everything will be fine."

The conversation between the two is filled with sweet and reassuring emotions as they sail together towards home, looking forward to new experiences and futures.

Mu Xiaoxi frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Shen Ye, I want to go to the big supermarket in the city center tomorrow to buy gifts. There are many kinds there, so I should be able to find something suitable."

Shen Ye nodded and agreed: "Indeed, the supermarket in the city center is indeed bigger and has more choices. However, tomorrow is the weekend, it may be crowded there, and it may take some time to queue up for payment."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded, considering this, and then made another suggestion: "Then let's consider going to a nearby small supermarket. Although the variety may not be so many, there are fewer people and shopping will be more convenient."

Shen Ye thought for a while and expressed his understanding: "It also makes sense. There are fewer people in the small supermarket, so shopping will be faster. And the nearby small supermarket should also have some gift options."

Mu Xiaoxi looked at Shen Ye and said with a smile: "And small supermarkets usually have some local specialties. If we can find the right ones, it might be more meaningful."

Shen Ye nodded and agreed: "Yes, the small supermarket will indeed have some unique things, we can look for some gifts that represent local characteristics."

The two exchanged a look tacitly, as if they had already made a decision.Shen Ye gently held Mu Xiaoxi's hand, and said, "In this case, let's go to the nearby small supermarket, and shopping will be easier and more enjoyable."

Mu Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, feeling Shen Ye's warmth, she said, "Okay, it's settled. Tomorrow we will go to a small supermarket nearby and pick out the most suitable gift."

Shen Ye smiled and expressed his expectation: "Yes, I am also looking forward to tomorrow's shopping trip. However, no matter which supermarket we choose, the most important thing is your heart. I believe the gift you choose will be great."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded with a smile, and looked at Shen Ye gratefully: "Thank you, Shen Ye. With your support, I feel very at ease."

The conversation between the two was full of intimacy and tacit understanding. They planned their shopping trip tomorrow and looked forward to bringing a wonderful surprise to Shen Ye's family.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and Mu Xiaoxi and Shen Ye were ready to go shopping in the supermarket together.The two walked on the street, and Mu Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Today is a fine day, and shopping in the supermarket should be very pleasant."

Shen Ye nodded and responded: "Yes, I hope to find a suitable gift that everyone in the Shen family will like."

They came to a nearby small supermarket, entered the store, and were immediately attracted by the colorful merchandise display.Mu Xiaoxi looked around in a little confusion, not knowing where to start.

Shen Ye patted her on the shoulder lightly, encouraging: "Don't worry, we can take our time and find a suitable gift."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded, smiled and followed Shen Ye to browse the products on the shelves.They walked through the rows of shelves, carefully selecting each item, considering whether it was suitable as a gift.

In a corner, they saw some handicrafts with local characteristics. Mu Xiaoxi stopped, pointed to a beautiful ceramic ornament, and asked, "Shen Ye, what do you think of this? I think it is very delicate."

Shen Ye took a closer look, nodded and praised: "It is really exquisite, and this kind of handicraft often has some unique cultural connotations. I think this is a good choice. If the Shen family likes cultural and artistic things, this It should be very popular."

Mu Xiaoxi was all smiles and happily put this ceramic ornament into the shopping basket.Afterwards, they selected some specialty foods and small gifts, and gradually filled their shopping baskets.

When the two walked to the payment place, Mu Xiaoxi looked at the shopping basket with some concern, and asked, "Shen Ye, there are too many of these things, is it too much?"

Shen Ye smiled and patted the back of her hand, comforting: "It's okay, we can make a choice according to the actual situation, don't worry. As long as it is a heart, no matter how much it is, it will be felt by the family."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded and calmed down.They began to place the purchased products on the cash register one by one, and the staff patiently helped them calculate the prices.

When everything was finished, the two walked out of the supermarket pushing the shopping cart together.Mu Xiaoxi sighed, "I'm really tired after buying so many things today."

Shen Ye hugged her shoulders with a smile, and said, "But it was also a pleasant shopping experience. I am very happy to see your seriousness in choosing gifts."

There was a smile on the corner of Mu Xiaoxi's mouth, expressing satisfaction: "Well, I hope these gifts can bring warmth and joy to the Shen family."

The two were walking on the way home, the shopping cart was full of various gifts and small items, and they were in a happy and fulfilling mood.They not only prepared gifts for the Shen family, but also enhanced their mutual feelings in the process.

Back home, Mu Xiaoxi and Shen Ye put the shopping bags on the dining table together, and started the day's harvest.Mu Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Although these gifts are not many, they are all carefully selected."

Shen Ye nodded and looked at her gratefully: "Thank you, Xiaoxi, you are really thoughtful of our family."

Mu Xiaoxi smiled all over her face, and then began to get busy.She took out some ingredients and prepared to cook a delicious pasta meal for Shen Ye.Shen Ye sat aside and observed her movements.

Mu Xiaoxi skillfully prepared the ingredients, and then began to boil water in the pot.While boiling water, she said with a smile, "The weather is really hot recently, and eating a bowl of cold noodles should relieve the heat."

Shen Ye nodded in agreement, his eyes full of anticipation.Mu Xiaoxi put the noodles into the pot, stir-fried them, and they were cooked after a while.She scooped up the boiled noodles and put them in a bowl, then prepared the poached eggs.

She gently cracked an egg, separated the egg white from the yolk, then put the egg yolk into a bowl, added a little salt and chicken essence, and stirred well.Seeing her skillful movements, Shen Ye couldn't help admiring: "Your cooking skills are getting better and better."

Mu Xiaoxi accepted the compliment with a smile, poured the prepared egg liquid into the pot, and carefully spread it into the shape of poached eggs.After a while, the fragrant poached eggs are ready.She puts the poached eggs on a plate and puts the boiled noodles on the side as well.

The two sat down together, Mu Xiaoxi brought the noodles in the bowl to Shen Ye, and said with a smile: "Come on, how about trying my cooking?"

Shen Ye took a sip and nodded with satisfaction: "The taste is very good, refreshing and delicious, just to my liking."

Mu Xiaoxi also smiled, watching him eat with satisfaction.The two chatted while eating, and Mu Xiaoxi asked, "Have you made any progress in the studio today?"

Shen Ye nodded and responded: "Yes, the job the foreman introduced is not bad. I'm interested in learning about it. Maybe it can provide some inspiration for my future creations."

Mu Xiaoxi smiled happily, and encouraged: "That's good, I believe you will perform well."

The two continued to enjoy the pasta, and the warm atmosphere filled the whole room.After eating, they cleared the table together, then sat in the living room, sharing their experiences and feelings about the day.

This ordinary and warm evening has become a closer bond between them, making each other's feelings deeper.

Mu Xiaoxi took a sip of water, looked at Shen Ye, and asked curiously: "Shen Ye, how is your family? I haven't had the chance to meet your father and mother yet."

Shen Ye smiled and nodded, and began to introduce: "Well, my father is a very busy person and is often away from home. He has his own business in the business world, so he often needs to travel or participate in various activities."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded, expressing her understanding: "Hearing what you said, your father should be a very enterprising person."

Shen Ye smiled and continued: "Yes, he has always worked hard and pursued his career goals. However, he also cares about his family very much, but sometimes he is short on time."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded, and then asked, "What about your mother?"

Shen Ye's smile gradually faded, and he sighed softly: "My mother passed away when I was very young."

Mu Xiaoxi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, she coughed lightly, and said, "Sorry, I don't know."

Shen Ye shook his head and smiled softly: "It's okay, this is all in the past. My mother is a gentle and kind person, but unfortunately we don't have much time together."

Mu Xiaoxi put down the cup, gently held Shen Ye's hand, and expressed comfort: "I understand that although some things have passed, the memory will always remain in my heart. Your father and you will definitely miss your mother forever. "

Shen Ye felt Mu Xiaoxi's warmth and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your understanding, Xiaoxi. Although the situation of my parents makes me feel a little lonely sometimes, I already feel very happy to have you by my side."

Mu Xiaoxi patted his hand lightly, smiling brightly: "Well, no matter what happens, we will face and overcome together. Your happiness is also my happiness."

The eyes of the two met together, full of affection and tacit understanding.Mu Xiaoxi's words made Shen Ye feel incomparably warm and powerful. He held her hand tightly and said gratefully: "Thank you, Xiaoxi, I am really lucky to have met you."

Mu Xiaoxi smiled even brighter, and patted his hand lightly, expressing understanding and support: "To each other, we will go on forever and stay by each other's side."

This short conversation deepened the relationship between the two and strengthened their determination to move forward.

Shen Ye smiled lightly, and continued: "Actually, my family is in the same place as the hometown of the richest man, the Shen family. The law and order in that area is very good, and the environment is not bad."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded after hearing this, and asked curiously: "Then, is the relationship between your two families very close? There will definitely be a lot of topics to talk about when you are together."

Shen Ye smiled and shook his head: "Actually, we're not as close as you think. I'm not that close to the richest man, the Shen family. We're just distant relatives. Although we have a little connection, it can't be said that the relationship is particularly strong."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded, expressing her understanding: "So that's the case. Distant relatives are sometimes not too close."

Shen Ye nodded, and then looked at her with a smile: "Yes, but sometimes there are some small benefits. After all, there are relatives in the same place, so we can help each other with any problems."

Mu Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, agreeing: "Yes, this is indeed more convenient. However, your family should be considered a bit rich, since it is a place with good law and order."

Shen Ye smiled, and said noncommittally: "It's okay, the family does have some savings, but it's not a big fortune. It's just because the living environment in that place is better, so life is relatively comfortable."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded, expressing her understanding.She knew that Shen Ye was not a showy person, so she didn't investigate further.She smiled and said, "No matter what, I think being able to live an ordinary and happy life with you is already my greatest happiness."

Shen Ye watched her eyes become affectionate, he gently held her hand, and said softly: "I also feel that being with you is my greatest happiness. No matter what happens in the future, we will face it together. Work hard together and be happy together."

There was a knock on the door, and Mu Xiaoxi walked towards the door, opened it, and saw two burly men standing outside.She was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

One of the burly men smiled, showing his white teeth, and said, "We were invited by Shen Ye to help move things. He said that some furniture from his house will be brought here."

Mu Xiaoxi nodded and understood, she smiled and said, "So that's the case, Shen Ye didn't tell me, so I asked you to wait."

Another burly man shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay, we just have a little spare time, so we came here to help."

Mu Xiaoxi looked at them gratefully, then pointed to the living room, and said, "Please come in, please come in. The furniture is waiting in the living room."

The two big men nodded and followed Mu Xiaoxi into the living room.Shen Ye was already waiting in the living room. When he saw two big men coming over, he said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. Please help me move the furniture."

One of the big guys smiled and said: "No problem, we often move things, this little thing is nothing."

Shen Ye nodded and looked at them gratefully.The two big men started to get busy, moving the furniture into the house methodically one by one.Mu Xiaoxi was too embarrassed to be idle, so she picked up some small items to help. (end of this chapter)
