Two children are the center of attention wherever they go, their adorable appearance making it hard for anyone to resist approaching them.
Liu Qingxi did not respond at all, and people's attention was completely drawn to the two kids.
There was nothing they could do; the charm of the two adults simply could not compare to that of the two little children.
Even more astonishing was that Big Baby was not shy at all, happily allowing anyone to hold him, which led to continuous laughter and joy.
After returning from the street, Yang Yichen was filled with toys for the children, all given by people they met along the way.
These gifts were meant for the two little ones.
At the same time, news of Yang Yichen and Liu Qingxi's return spread throughout Ten Li Pu, including among the outsiders living in the villa community.
In their eyes, Liu Qingxi and Yang Yichen were legendary figures, and they never expected to have a chance to see them in person.
In the following days, although the weather grew colder, visitors continued to come to the Yang Family. They were not just from the Village but also many from Biqi Town and Linyi County.
At just a teenager, Yang Yichen had achieved the rank of Fifth Rank official and was highly regarded by the emperor. Moreover, at a time when his future looked promising, he chose to resign and return to a rural life, which was truly legendary.
Liu Qingxi was equally impressive; as a farmer's daughter, she single-handedly built an industry of immeasurable value in Linyi County and even in the capital within just a few short years, gaining widespread fame.
Standing before them in reality made everyone realize that those legends were true; such people really existed.
The constant stream of visitors left Liu Qingxi and Yang Yichen feeling quite helpless; it was difficult to turn away their fellow villagers.
Fortunately, winter arrived with heavy snow blocking the roads. With distant and slippery paths, people's excitement gradually faded, allowing the Yang Family some much-needed respite.
Picking chrysanthemums beneath the eastern fence, I leisurely gaze at the Southern Mountain.
In their tranquil lives, they maintain a serene and distant attitude, enjoying the quietude and simplicity, relishing the unique peace and joy of the village.
The two little ones adapt well to their new environment, stretching out their hands for the servants to carry them outside to play, watching the older siblings from the Village engage in snowball fights, while they cheerfully observe from the side.
Meanwhile, Liu Qingxi and Yang Yichen have taken on a lifestyle reminiscent of traditional farming couples.
During their free time, Yang Yichen carries a bow and arrow up the mountain to hunt, providing wild game for the family.
Compared to the Lavish Lifestyle of the capital, this simple life here is far more comforting.
Time quietly slips through their fingers, and before they realize it, the New Year has arrived.
Having spent three years in the capital, returning here brings back memories of past New Years spent in this place. In comparison, Ten Li Pu truly feels like the best and most suitable place for them.
As spring arrives next year, with smiles on the melting snow and warming earth, the two children shed their thick winter coats. After growing over these months, their short legs have become much sturdier.
The two parents feel they cannot waste their time in this unfamiliar world. After settling their affairs, they decide to become carefree Shopkeepers and explore the beautiful landscapes.
Setting off from Ten Li Pu, they travel westward to experience different customs and cultures.
Whenever they encounter places with mountains, water, and beautiful scenery, Liu Qingxi and Yang Yichen stop to enjoy themselves a bit longer, buying toys and treats for their two little ones while taking them to appreciate the views.
Time passes over several months as they explore mountains and rivers together. One evening, during an unknown conversation topic, Yang Yichen reveals her background.
At this moment, Liu Qingxi suddenly realized why she always felt that Yang Yichen was different, why he could understand some of her ideas from her past life, and why he was exceptional at creating weapons.
Everything had an explanation; it turned out he was also a soul from the Twenty-First Century, and they were the same kind of person.
"How did you come here?" Liu Qingxi asked curiously.
Her own background was already astonishing enough, but Yang Yichen had no memories at all initially, so why was that?
Yang Yichen revealed the truth to her. It turned out that he had crossed over and was reborn directly into the womb of the Wen Family, losing his memories and struggling to survive in the back courtyard of Yang Residence.
As for his past life memories, after meeting Liu Qingxi, the fragmented images in his mind became more frequent and clearer.
It wasn't until that night when he broke into the palace and got injured on the head during a struggle with the guards that his memories fully resurfaced, allowing him to recall his past.
As soon as Yang Yichen finished speaking, Liu Qingxi suddenly threw herself into his arms. How wonderful!
How wonderful it was to have him, how wonderful that they came from the same world and shared the same circle of life.
"What a pity about your invention patents," Liu Qingxi sighed for Yang Yichen; he was truly a remarkable person.
"It’s okay. If it weren't for that incident, I wouldn't have met you."
Indeed, perhaps all the unfair experiences were just to bring them together in this moment.
"Yes, if I hadn't passed by a certain place to buy something and encountered a funeral procession, I wouldn't have inexplicably ended up here."
When Liu Qingxi mentioned a certain place, Yang Yichen's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Why did that place sound so familiar? A funeral procession? Why was it so...
He suddenly reached out and tightly grasped Liu Qingxi's hand. "Is that where you got into trouble?"
Huh? Liu Qingxi's eyes widened in disbelief. How could that be? How did Yang Yichen know?
However, Yang Yichen's mind raced, and he quickly grasped the key point. "That funeral procession was me."
With a bang, Liu Qingxi felt a shocking realization emerge in her mind.
The couple exchanged glances, realizing that their fates were intertwined at that moment.
It turned out that after Yang Yichen's family received a huge hush money payment from the other side, fearing that he would die unjustly, they happened to encounter Liu Qingxi traveling alone during the funeral and conspired to harm her as his posthumous bride.
This was how Liu Qingxi ended up crossing over.
It turned out their connection began at that time.
It turned out this was a bond that spanned two eras.
It turned out...
It turned out they had so much in common, and it was only at this moment that she learned the truth.
At this moment, there were no more secrets between the two; their hearts drew closer, intertwined with one another.
In the future, we will witness the splendor of the world together.
In the future, we will explore the vast landscapes hand in hand.
In this life and the next, through fate and destiny, we are destined to accompany each other.
Happiness continues.

Epilogue:
Years later,
A legend spread throughout the Western Moon Kingdom: Master Architect Liu Qingxi's influence extended across the nation, with his works being priceless and elusive, and encountering him was considered a great fortune.
Yang Yichen became the next leader of the Inorganic Gate, handling countless weapons with greatly enhanced power, yet he rarely took action, even against an emperor or those wielding supreme authority.
Liu Qingyan did not pursue an official career; after his first journey and seeing many different people and landscapes, he fell in love with this way of life and ultimately became a great scholar.
