Chapter 330 Sorry to bother you

Xu Dantong's voice was quite loud, and since there were few customers in the area, it was very quiet, so Xie Qinglan naturally heard it as well.

This woman is getting more and more gossipy.

Xie Qinglan clicked her tongue, glanced at Huo Huaisui who was running towards them out of the corner of her eye, and calmly gave him the payment code.

"Wait..." Huo Huai Sui interrupted.

But she was too late; Xie Qinglan had already made the payment.

It's okay, she can fix it.

Huo Huaisui took out his phone and transferred money to Xie Qinglan.

Xie Qinglan confiscated it. "Come over and fill in the delivery address and number."

Beds are large items, and most retailers will deliver them to your door.

"Miss, please." The sales clerk handed Huo Huai Sui a three-part receipt and a pen with both hands.

Huo Huaisui had no choice but to fill out the form first.

Xu Dantong walked over unhurriedly, "What brings you here, Second Young Master Xie?"

Xie Qinglan didn't speak, but raised her hand and rubbed her thumb and forefinger together a few times.

Xu Dantong rolled her eyes on the spot.

You dare ask for money? Who cares about your messy affairs?

Xu Dantong simply ignored Xie Qinglan, paid the bill for her bed, filled out the delivery information, and turned to ask Huo Huaisui, "Sister, have you eaten? Do you want to go eat together?"

Huo Huaisui was about to say that he hadn't eaten yet when Xie Qinglan interrupted, "We're not familiar with each other. No thanks."

Xu Dantong disagreed, saying, "You'll get to know each other after a couple more dates."

Xie Qinglan: "She's busy."

Huo Huaisui looked at this one, then at that one, and remained silent.

She ate a bit too much at noon, and then went to the lounge to relax and have afternoon tea, so she's not hungry yet.

Rather than going out to eat, she actually preferred to wander around somewhere else.

She still has a lot of things she hasn't bought yet.

Having finally saved up some money, she had to buy things quickly while she still had some in her purse, otherwise her brother would take it all or she might accidentally spend it elsewhere, leaving her with nothing but a bed when she moved into her new home.

Xu Dantong was too lazy to argue with him. "Never mind. I have something to do later, maybe next time."

As she spoke, Xu Dantong opened the QR code, "Little sister, please add me on WeChat."

I only joined the group last time, and I didn't expect to run into you again, so I didn't add you on WeChat.

Huo Huaisui did not refuse.

Her friend list contains all sorts of people, and she's forgotten who many of them are because she added them so long ago. So, one more won't make a difference.

Xie Qinglan didn't stop her, but lazily reminded her, "Remember to browse your WeChat Moments more often and like more posts."

"..." Huo Huai Sui immediately thought of those unbearable confessions in his WeChat Moments, and glanced at Xie Qing Lan speechlessly.

Thanks to this guy, everyone on her friend list now knows that she "likes Xie Qinglan," and it's even been spread to people outside her friend list.

For example, she ran into Niannian's aunt Dou Meijuan while eating out a couple of days ago. When she greeted her, Dou Meijuan asked her if she and Xie Qinglan were getting married soon... She herself didn't know that her "good thing" was coming soon, which is completely outrageous!

Her friends list is even more remarkable. For example, her biological mother.

The night before last, I called her late at night to ask how far her relationship with Xie Qinglan had progressed, whether she had taken precautions against pregnancy, and whether the Xie family had come to propose marriage. I also asked her if she really liked Xie Qinglan, and if she really did, her family could propose to the Xie family instead...

This was the first time in her life she had ever realized how long-winded her mother was.

Xu Dantong was unaware of Xie Qinglan's thoughts and looked at Xie Qinglan as if she were an escaped convict from a mental hospital.

After adding each other on WeChat, Xu Dantong left alone and didn't stay to be a third wheel.

Seeing that Huo Huaisui showed no sign of leaving, Xie Qinglan asked, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"

"Too many." Huo Huai Sui opened the notes app on his phone, crossed out the line for "bed," and began reading aloud: "Mattress, sheets, pillow, pillowcase, cushion, carpet, curtains, water heater, water purifier, water dispenser..."

Xie Qinglan listened patiently, then simply asked, "Aren't you hungry?"

Huo Huai Sui put away his phone, about to say he wasn't hungry, but then he thought that Xie Qing Lan might insist on paying for these things if he went to buy them now. He hadn't even collected the money for the bed yet, and if he kept making him pay, then it wouldn't just be "his" bed in her house anymore; he would have bought most of the things in the house.

That's not good.

Huo Huai Sui's eyes darted around slightly. "I'm hungry."

Xie Qinglan smiled, didn't expose her, and went along with her as she left the furniture store.

While looking for a car, Huo Huai Sui passed by a beggar with four missing limbs. He glanced at the beggar but didn't stop.

Xie Qinglan asked, "Why aren't you donating money anymore?"

Whenever he went out, Huo Huaisui would give ten or eight yuan to any beggars he encountered. Sometimes, if he was in a good mood, he would give fifty or a hundred yuan.

Huo Huaisui shook his head, "It's been approved."

She couldn't recognize the beggar's face, but she would subconsciously try to remember some features. She wouldn't give again after she had already donated.

Her brother once said that it's okay to be kind, but each person should only give once. If you give too much, the other person will take it for granted and start clinging to you.

She hadn't taken these words to heart before; whenever she encountered one and had money, she would give it to them. But later, whenever she went shopping in a certain place, the beggars who were waiting there would approach her and ask for money, bringing their companions along. They wouldn't let her leave without giving her money and even tried to snatch her bag. Luckily, a passerby helped her.

In the end, it was her brother who helped her resolve this matter.

She never saw the two beggars again, and she didn't care where they went.

In short, one shouldn't be too kind.

Xie Qinglan nodded in agreement, "Your brother is right."

Huo Huai Sui glanced at him. "My brother said you're not a good person and told me to stay away from you."

Hsieh Ching-lan added, "But not everything she said is correct."

Huo Huai Sui gave a soft hum.

Once in the car, Huo Huai Sui asked while fastening his seatbelt, "Did you take a taxi here?"

Xie Qinglan: "My classmate brought it over on his way."

Huo Huaisui did not ask any further questions.

The two grabbed a quick bite outside, and Huo Huai Sui asked, "Shall I take you home first?"

Xie Qinglan: "And you?"

Huo Huaisui: "Go to Lanjiang New City."

She had arranged with the bed seller to deliver the bed to her door at 8 p.m., so she had to go there to open the door.

Xie Qinglan: "Together."

Huo Huaisui didn't actually want to be with him.

But she couldn't get rid of him, so she could only take him with her.

The house has been renovated and is still being aired out. Huo Huaisui comes to check on it every few days.

The front door had a combination lock. Huo Huai Sui entered the code and opened the door, then reached in to touch the light switch. "No need to take off your shoes."

The floor was a bit dirty, and since more things were being moved in later, which would make the floor even dirtier, Huo Huai Sui didn't plan to clean it for the time being.

"We haven't bought a sofa yet, there are no stools, and no water to offer you. See where you can sit and find a place to sit yourself."

Just as Huo Huai Sui was about to walk inside, her arm suddenly tightened, and she was pulled back two steps, her back bumping into the man's solid chest.

Huo Huai Sui turned around, about to speak, when his face was pressed down.

"You...uh!"

Looking at that face so close to his, Huo Huai Sui's hands and feet started itching again.

The door wasn't closed, and he... no, she didn't mean that closing the door was enough; the point was that this scoundrel was taking advantage of her again!

With his hands bound and unable to move, Huo Huai Sui could only stomp on him with his feet.

After a struggle, the man behind her finally released her.

Before Huo Huai Sui could even catch her breath, a dizzying sensation struck her, and the next second, she found herself sitting on the entryway cabinet.

The house wasn't completely empty; at least all the cabinets and shelves in each area had been custom-made and installed, but because it hadn't been cleaned, they were covered in dust.

Huo Huai Sui's first reaction was that her bottom was about to turn "white". Just as she was about to question the culprit, the man's hot and humid breath covered her again.

Is this ever going to end?!

Huo Huai Sui tried to push him away, but he held her tightly.

In the struggle, Huo Huai Sui realized something and froze instantly.

That scoundrel, he actually...

Huo Huai Sui's eyes widened, meeting those dark, fox-like eyes in shock.

"cough--"

A cough suddenly came from outside the door.

The pressure on their lips finally eased, and they both turned their heads at the same time.

Several movers appeared outside the door at some point. When they saw the movers looking over, one of them forced a smile and said, "Excuse me, are you Miss Huo? We're here to deliver a bed. Sorry to bother you."

Huo Huaisui: "..."

Xie Qinglan: "..."
