King of the Wilderness-Chapter 170 - 139: The Invitation to "Alone in the Wilderness: Frozen Throne"!_3

Lin Yu'an was immediately drawn in, his body instinctively leaning forward.

It was a style he loved very much, modern Scandinavian minimalism, perfectly combining the ruggedness of natural wood with the simplicity of modern design.

"Quick, start from the first floor and give me a tour of our new home," Lin Yu'an urged, like a child eager to open a gift.

Aliya laughed from the other end of the video, her fingers sliding on the phone screen.

"Alright, sir~ Welcome to your kingdom~ First is the first floor, which I've designed as a completely open, transparent space..."

The living room area occupies the largest space, with the core of the layout being a massive fireplace constructed of deep gray natural slate.

Extending from the ground up through the second floor's high ceiling, it is filled with a sense of primitive yet sturdy strength.

In front of the fireplace is a set of beige modern fabric sofas and a heavy coffee table made from a whole slab of wood.

"I specifically asked the designer to make this fireplace large enough to have presence."

"I know you love fireplaces; they are the heart of the home! I imagine winter nights with our family gathered here, the firelight on everyone's face, would be so warm."

"I love this design; I'm planning to collect the stones personally." Lin Yu'an looked at the design on the screen and was already thinking about how to realize the plan.

"I knew you'd like it." Aliya smiled from the screen, continuing to move the view.

The kitchen and dining room seamlessly connect with the living room; the kitchen is open with a huge center island and a durable matte black rock slab countertop.

The cabinets have a simple handleless design, in a stable deep gray color, forming a perfect contrast of warmth against the warm wooden walls.

A long solid wood dining table that can accommodate more than ten people sits quietly in front of the window, beyond which is an endless forest.

"This table is big enough that when the whole family comes over, we can all sit comfortably." Aliya's voice was full of longing for lively family life in the future.

The master bedroom suite is situated on the quietest eastern side of the first floor, with Aliya deliberately designing an independent walk-in closet, spacious bathroom with separate bathtub and shower.

Aliya earnestly explained in the video: "We still need a private space of our own, after a busy day, I hope you can completely relax here!"

"Look, this tub, I chose a deep and extended version, big enough for the two of us."

After she said that, a mischievous voice came from the speaker, and seeing her wink on the other side of the camera, Lin Yu'an's Adam's apple involuntarily rolled, he could already imagine that scene.

Aliya switched the view to upstairs: "The second floor, here will be the kids' realm in the future."

Two separate bedrooms are neatly arranged, each room has large south-facing windows to ensure ample sunlight.

The communal area on the second floor is a comfortable family activity room, with an L-shaped corner sofa and an entire wall of massive bookshelves.

Finally, Aliya pulled the view to the top floor.

It's a temporary sanctuary entirely belonging to Lin Yu'an, half is his studio, with professional computer equipment and a massive workbench in the layout allowing him to process videos and study diagrams.

The other half is an incredibly dreamy stargazing platform, with a large slanted skylight facing the pure northern sky.

Aliya's voice became gentle beyond measure: "When the aurora bursts forth, you can hold me in the warmest room, say nothing, just quietly watch the aurora filling the sky... until morning."

Looking at this design full of cleverness and love, Lin Yu'an's heart was completely filled with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and anticipation for the future.

This is no longer a cold design drawing, but a preview of every happy moment of his future life!

"Aliya... thank you, it's even more perfect than I imagined.

"Silly, this is our home, I just drew it out."

"I miss you, and I miss the kids a lot." Lin Yu'an looked at the clear face of his beloved on the screen, openly expressing the longing in his heart.

"I imagine every day what you all look like when you come here, imagining the kids chasing Whiskey on the grass, imagining you preparing dinner for us in the kitchen."

"We are too, counting down the days to go to Alaska every day." Aliya's voice carried a hint of a nasal tone.

"So, hurry and get the house built, my hero. We're waiting for you."

"I promise." Lin Yu'an nodded heavily.

This promise is his most steadfast belief at this moment!

The two of them quietly stared at each other in the video for a while, the warm silence filled with unspoken affection.

Lin Yu'an knew it was time to discuss that important matter now.

"Aliya."

He cleared his throat, his tone becoming somewhat serious: "There's one more thing I need to talk to you about."

Concerned, Aliya from the other end of the screen asked: "What's up, darling? Is there some trouble?"

"No, it's not trouble."

"This afternoon, I received a call from Mark, the producer of 'Alone in the Wilderness'."

"Mark?" Aliya clearly remembered the name too.

"What's he calling you for?"

"He's inviting me to participate in a new show called 'Wilderness Solo Living: Frozen Throne,' a 'Champions Battle' inviting past legendary contestants."

Lin Yu'an quickly recounted the show's rules, location, and timing concisely to Aliya.

As he explained, Aliya's brows gradually furrowed.

When she heard that the competition location was the Labrador Coastline and airing time was early November's harsh winter, the worry in her eyes seemed to almost overflow the screen.

"Labrador? November?" Aliya's voice unconsciously raised a little.

"The winter there is even colder than at Chilco Lake! You're going alone to such a place for fifty days? No, that's too dangerous!"

Her first reaction was unhesitating concern, not worried about anything else, just purely worried about his safety.

She had endured the agony when Lin Yu'an participated in competitions before, spending every day in prayer, and she didn't want to experience that anguish again!
