Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 728 It’s Not Easy to Spend Money
After admiring the beauty of the bedroom on the third floor, Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong were no longer surprised by anything else.

After leaving the third floor, the group came to the fourth floor.

This place looks much more normal, mainly because it is the room prepared for Yan Zhusheng.

A professional recording studio and a piano room with great lighting.

Because the soundproofing of these two rooms was very good, Li Luo simply placed the mahjong room and karaoke room next to them and soundproofed them with a slightly lower standard.

This way, you don’t have to worry about disturbing your neighbors.

Yan Zhusheng was obviously very satisfied with the recording studio and piano room. After walking around the room carefully, he was already thinking about what equipment to purchase next.

The recording studio here was planned from the beginning of the decoration, and the overall design is much more professional and high-end than the recording studio in Yan Zhusheng's home.

Yan Zhusheng also plans to plan it carefully so as not to waste it.

"This mahjong room is quite interesting." Lin Xiuhong was quite satisfied with the entertainment facilities on the fourth floor. "You can play mahjong here and sing over there. What is this long table for?"

"This is for playing board games." Li Luo said with a smile, "When I invite friends over to my house, if there are many people, we can sit in a circle and play board games, just like playing poker."

"Oh." Lin Xiuhong didn't really understand those things that young people did, but she just remembered Li Guohong's advice and nodded twice, "In the future, we will have a mahjong table at home. We don't have to go out to play. We can just play here and save some money on the chess and card room."

Although Li Luo really wanted to say that they didn't need the box fee for the chess and card room, he thought better of it.

After finishing the tour of the fourth floor, Butler Liu took them to the rooftop.

As a result, when the rooftop appeared, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong were surprised again.

“You even installed a swimming pool on the roof?!”

At this time, two more swimming lanes appeared on the rooftop near the edge of the backyard. They were about three meters wide and twelve meters long, creating the effect of an infinity pool.

"In order to install the rooftop swimming lane, the bottom here has been specially reinforced to support the weight." Butler Liu introduced to their family, "The swimming pool has an infinity shape on the outside."

"But don't worry about the water falling into the backyard. There is a corresponding water recovery system underneath. When the water overflows, it will be recovered at the edge."

"The height of the swimming pool exposed above the ground is 1.2 meters, which is already the weight limit. If it is higher, the load-bearing capacity after reinforcement will exceed the standard."

Lin Xiuhong listened to the introduction of Butler Liu and walked to the swimming pool to look inside.

Because Butler Liu had arranged for the entire house to be cleaned, the entire swimming lane looked very clean at this moment.

"In order to prevent the swimming lane from getting dirty on rainy days, a special cover mode has been designed here," said Liu. "On rainy days or when the swimming pool is not in use, it can be covered electrically."

“It takes about seven or eight hours to fill the pool with the added professional pump.”

"So when you need to use the swimming pool, I suggest you just tell me half a day in advance."

Lin Xiuhong was stunned when she heard this. Although her son bought a villa, she actually never considered herself a rich person in her heart.

Until this moment, the swimming pool that could only be seen in TV dramas and in the homes of domineering CEOs now appeared right before her eyes.

And it was the villa that her son bought himself.

At this moment, she realized something.

The level of their family seems to be really different from before.

"Sister Youyu doesn't like running. If you want to keep exercising in the future, swimming is a good choice." Li Luo said with a smile, "Otherwise, when you get older, if you sit at your desk and type all the time, you will have a lot of sub-health problems."

"Thank you so much." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, but still liked this swimming pool very much.

Especially the infinity design, people can easily see the scenery of the backyard when standing on the edge of the swimming pool.

Xu Youyu felt very comfortable just thinking about it.

In addition to the swimming pool on the edge, the rooftop has other functions, but as soon as we went upstairs, everyone's attention was attracted by the swimming pool, and only started to pay attention at this moment.

Among them, there are several sunshades and lounge chairs matching the pool, right next to the pool.

There is also an open-air bar with a sink, counter, refrigerator and grill.

When necessary, you can go to the rooftop to swim, barbecue, and drink. Just thinking about it is great.

"Swimming or something, it doesn't matter." Xu Youyu leaned close to Li Luo's ear and whispered softly, "But the rooftop is still a good place. For example, next time when we swim, we can do some things that we can't do in Qianda Swimming Pool~"

After hearing what Xu Youyu said, Li Luo suddenly felt a little moved.

Unfortunately, the villa here is not habitable yet. We have to wait at least another two or three months for the formaldehyde to dissipate and the indicators to drop to a safe range.

Fortunately, Ying Chanxi paid more attention to this aspect from the beginning of the decoration, and the materials used are of high quality, tending to be low in formaldehyde.

So they don’t have to wait too long and will definitely be able to move in by the end of this year.

"Leave this area empty. According to Mr. Li's instructions, if you buy an astronomical telescope or something in the future, you can use it here." Butler Liu pointed to the southeast corner and said.

Li Luo patted Ying Chanxi's shoulder, indicating that this was reserved for her.

Ying Chanxi came to the railing, already fantasizing in his mind that in the future he and Li Luo would go to the rooftop alone, look at the stars through a telescope while leaning in Li Luo's arms and doing some naughty things.

Thinking of this, she was filled with anticipation.

After the group had finally completed the tour from top to bottom, they took the elevator back to the restaurant on the first floor, sat around the dining table, and began to discuss how to choose the furniture that had not yet been purchased.

Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong rarely spoke to each other and left all decision-making power to Li Luo and his children.

It was almost noon when the four of them had roughly decided on the options for the remaining furniture.

In the next two days, they made some deletions and modifications and changed some of the furniture choices.

By the way, the location of the cat villa was also finalized, and it was arranged in the guest bedroom next to the study on the second floor.

They plan to carve a hole in the wall between the guest bedroom and the study to serve as a catwalk.

Usually the cats move around in the guest bedroom next door which is more than 20 square meters and they don’t feel crowded or cramped.

When Li Luo and the others are at home, they can open the small door of the catwalk and let them stroll into the more spacious study.

Then they installed a fence gate at the entrance of the stairs to prevent the kittens from running up and down, and limit their main activity space to the second floor.

On this basis, Li Luo asked Butler Liu to install two railing doors on the two stone paths between the front and back yards.

In this way, with a fence around the perimeter, you can even let your kittens play in the backyard without having to worry about them running away.

……

"Are you going out today?" On the afternoon of the 2nd, Li Luo saw Yan Zhusheng preparing to go out alone, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yes." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "Go learn how to drive."

"Can I go to the driving school during the National Day holiday?"

"I will take the third test after National Day." Yan Zhusheng said, "I asked my coach for practice, and I prepared overtime pay for her."

Li Luo: “…”

It's not easy for the coach either, he has to work overtime even during the National Day holiday, but I guess this is voluntary.

According to Yan Zhusheng's personality, the overtime pay would probably not be small.

"Based on your current progress, can you get your driver's license this month?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"Yeah." Yan Zhusheng nodded. "The coach said that I learn quickly and will definitely be able to pass the third subject after the National Day. The fourth subject is also very easy. I think I can get my driver's license by the middle of the month."

"Then I'll take you to buy a car then." Li Luo said with a smile, "You can think about what car you want to buy first."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded obediently, then opened the door and left.

Li Luo watched Yan Zhusheng leave, and then looked at Ying Chanxi who had just walked out of the kitchen.

Watching her put the freshly cut fruit on the coffee table, Li Luo reached out and hugged her, kissed her and asked, "Which brand of new car do you want to buy?"

"Hmm..." Ying Chanxi was hugged and kissed by him, and her body softened immediately. She leaned against Li Luo's arms. After hearing what he said, she hesitated, "Do you really want to buy it?"

"That car has been given to my mother, so of course I have to buy you a new one." Li Luo said with a smile.

"How about this?" Ying Chanxi hugged Li Luo's neck, put his cheek on his chest, and whispered, "Do you have a new car you want to buy? I can buy one for you."

"Then your Audi will be free, right? I can just drive that Audi."

"I don't know much about this. I just need to drive the existing car. There's no need to buy a new one."

Listening to the soft whispers of the girl in his arms and such virtuous plans, Li Luo couldn't help but hug her tight.

"You are just too good at saving money for me." Li Luo buried his head and continued to kiss, then said, "Don't you think more about yourself?"

"Besides, wasn't this Audi I own a gift from Uncle Ying?"

"What kind of excuse would it be if I gave it to you now?"

"It doesn't matter..." Ying Chanxi muttered softly.

"No." Li Luo was tough for once. He threw Ying Chanxi onto the sofa, leaned over and looked into her eyes seriously. "Little maid, you have to be obedient, understand? Just do as I say. I'll choose a new car for you this time."

After saying that, Li Luo did not give her any chance to refute. He simply lowered his head and forcefully blocked Ying Chanxi's small mouth, kissing her until her whole body was numb and she couldn't speak.

……

In the evening, Li Luo walked into Xu Youyu's room again and started talking about buying a car.

"I don't need it." Xu Youyu laughed when he mentioned this, "If I really want to buy it, I can just buy it myself. It's not like I don't have money."

"But this time is different." Li Luo picked up Xu Youyu and sat on the chair in front of the desk. He let Xu Youyu sit on his thighs, put his arms around her slender waist and said, "I just want to buy it for you."

"So domineering?" Xu Youyu said with a smile, "Did Xixi agree too?"

"Yeah." Li Luo nodded, "But if Sister Yu is here too, she will definitely not hesitate anymore."

"You've been scheming against her all day long." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him. "Okay, okay, then I'll give my car to my mom for free. I'll give you a chance to show off."

"Then it's settled." Li Luo smiled with satisfaction, hugged her and stood up, "Xixi is cooking, I'm going to help her, and I'll come out for dinner later."

"I know. Go ahead."

After coming out of Xu Youyu's room, Li Luo felt a little helpless.

Normally, if a boyfriend wants to spend some money on his girlfriend, such as buying her a car or something, most girls would gladly accept it, or even be ecstatic.

But there are also girls like Ying Chanxi who are always more willing to consider their other half, or who prefer to be independent and self-reliant and don't want to spend boys' money.

Li Luo has obviously made so much money now, but in fact, what he actually spends on these girls is very little.

When I bought a new car for Ying Chanxi, I had to convince her by using the excuse of buying one for Lin Xiuhong.

In the end, Ying Chanxi and Lin Xiuhong discussed it with each other and decided to buy the cheapest model, which really saved him a lot of money.

Everyone else is worried that their women spend too much money.

Li Luo, however, had a headache about how to spend more money on the three of them.

Otherwise, what's the point of making this money?

"It's done." After Ying Chanxi finished cooking, he asked Li Luo who was helping him, "Is Zhu Sheng not back yet?"

"She just said it would only take a few minutes. It should be here soon." Li Luo helped to carry the dishes to the table outside, then came back to help Ying Chanxi take off her apron and hang it on the wall.

After washing his hands, Li Luo walked into Xu Youyu's room again and called her out for dinner.

At this time, Yan Zhusheng just returned home, and the four of them sat around the dining table and started eating dinner.

"I'm going to the city tomorrow." Li Luo said while eating, "The copyright of a new novel and script I wrote has been reserved by Uncle Ying."

"So we need to go to Huayue Film and Television to sign the contract tomorrow."

"Do you want to go and see it together?"

After saying that, Li Luo looked at Yan Zhusheng and added, "Zhusheng has to go with me."

"I made a few songs that are related to this TV series. I'll show them to you and Aunt Yuan later."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded obediently.

Ying Chanxi on the side also said quickly: "Then I want to go too. I haven't seen my father for a long time. He has to be busy during the National Day holiday. It's a good opportunity for me to go and see him."

"I won't go. You guys go." Xu Youyu waved his hand and said, "After the National Day holiday, the stray cat management team in Qingxi is short of staff. I have to help feed the cats."

"Okay, then Xixi and Zhusheng will go with me tomorrow morning." Li Luo nodded and finalized the itinerary for tomorrow.
