Chapter 60

Building Dreams Together Lin Xiaoxiao and Lu Tingshen sat around a large table in their living room, ready to plan their future together. The table was covered with papers, pens, and a laptop, and their faces were filled with seriousness and anticipation. "Xiaoxiao, I think we should start by discussing our family life, as it is our common foundation," Lu Tingshen suggested. Lin Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, "Yes, family is very important to us. What kind of family atmosphere do we want to create?" They began discussing various aspects of family life, from the living environment to children's education, and how to interact with family members. They hoped to create a loving and supportive environment for their children to grow up in. "Tingshen, I hope our children can grow up in an open and encouraging environment," Lin Xiaoxiao expressed her thoughts. Lu Tingshen added, "I hope so too. We should encourage our children to pursue their dreams while teaching them how to face challenges." Next, they discussed career development. Lin Xiaoxiao hoped to achieve her career goals in the library, while Lu Tingshen aimed to achieve greater success in his company. "Xiaoxiao, I will fully support your career development, whether it's further education or career advancement," Lu Tingshen encouraged her. Lin Xiaoxiao looked at him gratefully, "Thank you, Tingshen. I will also support your career development, no matter what kind of help you need." They also discussed personal growth goals. They hoped to not forget self-improvement and pursuing personal interests amidst their busy lives. "Tingshen, I want to learn a new language so that we can travel to more places together," Lin Xiaoxiao shared her interest. Lu Tingshen responded with a smile, "Good idea, Xiaoxiao. I also want to learn photography to capture the moments of our life." During the discussion, they realized that no matter how ambitious their goals were, they needed to achieve them step by step. They decided to create a detailed plan, including short-term and long-term action steps. "Xiaoxiao, we need to set a timeline for each goal so that we can better manage our time and resources," Lu Tingshen suggested. Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yes, Tingshen. We also need to regularly check our progress and make adjustments as needed." After dinner, they continued their discussion on the balcony. The stars in the night sky added a touch of romance to their dreams. "Xiaoxiao, I believe that as long as we work together, we can achieve these goals," Lu Tingshen said after finishing their planning. Lin Xiaoxiao nestled in his arms, "Tingshen, I believe so too. I believe our love and determination will lead us to a better future." In the following days, they began to act according to their plan. Lin Xiaoxiao enrolled in a language class, while Lu Tingshen learned photography techniques in his spare time. They encouraged each other and made progress together. "Xiaoxiao, look at the photos I took. What do you think?" Lu Tingshen showed Lin Xiaoxiao the photos he had taken. Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the photos appreciatively, "Tingshen, you took them very well. I can feel the emotions and stories behind the photos." Lu Tingshen also supported Lin Xiaoxiao's language learning, "Xiaoxiao, you have made great progress in your language skills. I believe we will be able to travel together soon." As they worked towards their goals, they not only deepened their understanding of each other but also strengthened their relationship. Their lives were filled with motivation and hope. "Xiaoxiao, seeing you work so hard makes me very happy," Lu Tingshen said to Lin Xiaoxiao on a warm evening. Lin Xiaoxiao held his hand tightly, "Tingshen, me too. With you by my side, I feel like I can do anything."Their home gradually became a place filled with love, learning, and growth. The walls were adorned with photos taken by Lu Tingshen, and the bookshelves were lined with Lin Xiaoxiao's study materials. "Xiaoxiao, our home is becoming more and more lively, and it's all thanks to our joint efforts," Lu Tingshen said with emotion. Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yes, Tingshen. I believe that as long as we walk hand in hand, our home will become increasingly warm." In the process of building their dreams together, they cherished each other's companionship and support even more. They knew that as long as there was love in their hearts, dreams could become reality.
