As soon as she got back, she lay down on the sofa and shouted, "I'm never moving again!!! I'm exhausted!"

Gu Rongqi poured her a glass of water. "Okay, I won't move again next time."

The thought of taking the contents out of the packing box gave her a headache and made her feel weak all over.

Looking at Gu Rongqi sitting next to her, Cheng Qicai's eyes darted around.

She sat up, leaned against Gu Rongqi's back, and said in a coquettish tone, "Gu Rongqi~ why don't you help me pack? I'm so tired~"

Gu Rongqi felt a weight on his back as he sensed Cheng Qicai's warm body. He turned away from replying to the message and looked at her. "Okay!"

His tone was filled with boundless doting affection.

Hearing that Gu Rong was going to help, Cheng Qicai happily hugged his neck and gave him a big kiss on the cheek, making a loud "bo" sound.

Gu Rongqi was amused and laughed.

Although Cheng Qicai coaxed Gu Rongqi to tidy up for her, there were actually some things she still had to do herself.

The room that Gu Rongqi left for her was much bigger than the one she had rented before. It had a large wardrobe, and there was still plenty of space left after putting all her clothes in it.

Gu Rong also prepared a super large open cabinet in her room to display her trinkets.

Cheng Qicai sat on the carpet, surrounded by packing boxes. She would share any interesting ones she found with Gu Rongqi.

For example, the posters she won at comic conventions when she was in school, and the characters from her own dolls...

Cheng Qicai also found the prize money from Gu Rongqi's scratch-off lottery ticket among her pile of things.

She held it up to Gu Rongqi like a treasure, saying, "See? I told you I didn't spend it."

Gu Rongqi's eyes darkened, a complex mix of emotions surging within them. He looked at Cheng Qicai and asked calmly, "Why? Why didn't you spend it back then?"

"Aren't you touched that I didn't spend it all?" Cheng Qicai noticed Gu Rongqi's expression.

"Um……"

"It's a pity it's not as romantic as you thought~ I was originally planning to spend it," Cheng Qicai said.

"I happened to have it with me when I went to buy a jianbing guozi, but when I handed the money to the auntie selling jianbing guozi, before I could even hand it to her, the jianbing guozi I was carrying fell to the ground with a thud..."

"I was so heartbroken at the time!" Cheng Qicai said vividly. "The word 'luck' immediately flashed through my mind. It means half for each person, and that also represents luck."

"Then I felt that it wasn't a good idea to spend the money, because that would be like spending my luck too. So I paid with my phone after that."

Cheng Qicai had a feeling that the falling jianbing guozi was deliberately preventing her from spending the money.

She hesitated for a long time, clutching the money, before finally putting it back in her pocket.

Fortunately, the bag of jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) only had a broken handle, the opening of the bag was facing upwards, and the aunt had tied a knot at the handle. There was also no trash on the ground, so she didn't need to buy a new one.

This made her feel even luckier, and with this feeling, she took the money back and put it in the cabinet.

After hearing this, Gu Rongqi chuckled softly, "It seems we have a deep connection."

“Yes!” Cheng Qicai nodded, her right hand touching the jade bracelet on her left wrist.

She thought that Gu Rongqi didn't need to worry so much, because they had a lot of fate between them!

On their first day of living together, Gu Rongqi prepared a very lavish meal. After dinner, they went to the store and brought back the golden beans.

Although the two had stayed together quite a few times, the feeling of staying overnight was different from actually living there.

Her room wasn't ready yet, so she had to stay with Gu Rongqi temporarily.

Whether she will sleep in her own room after it's been tidied up depends on what the two of them think.

The next day, Cheng Qicai and Gu Rongqi were fine. They sat cross-legged on the living room floor, putting together the jigsaw puzzles they hadn't finished before.

Gu Rongqi's living room is large, so she can spread out the puzzle pieces, which will make it much faster to find the puzzle pieces.

"Ding—" The doorbell rang.

Cheng Qicai stood up and walked towards the main entrance. "I'll open it."

Cheng Qicai's position is on the outside, and Gu Rongqi's position is on the inside. If Gu Rongqi wants to come out, he has to step over this huge pile of messy puzzle pieces.

So it's more convenient for her to open the door from her side.

The moment Cheng Qicai opened the door and saw who it was, she was completely taken aback.

She called out stiffly, "Auntie! Hello!"

She now regrets moving; if she had known Gu Rongqi's mother would be coming, she wouldn't have moved.

When she first came here, Gu Rongqi said that his parents wouldn't be coming, so she felt at ease moving in.

His mother arrived the very next day.

That's so unlucky!

When Qianzhi saw her, he was also taken aback.

However, her good upbringing prevented her from showing her surprise; she calmly nodded to Cheng Qicai.

Cheng Qicai stepped aside to let Qianzhi in, and she found Qianzhi a new pair of slippers.

Qianzhi watched her skillful movements, his lips tightening.

Gu Rongqi heard Cheng Qicai's address and immediately stood up, stepped over the puzzle pieces, and walked towards the door.

"Mom!" He was stunned the moment he saw Qianzhi.

He saw Cheng Qicai frowning and winking at him.

He hadn't lied to Cheng Qicai before; after he moved out of the villa, Qianzhi and the others had never come to his place.

So, he was quite surprised to see it now.

Qianzhi put on the slippers that Cheng Qicai handed her and walked into the living room.

He walked behind Qianzhi, patted Cheng Qicai who was also walking behind him reassuringly, and mouthed to her, "It's okay."

With Gu Rongqi by her side, Cheng Qicai felt much more at ease.
