Chapter 27 Chapter 27 I’ll spank you… Do you want to come live here? …

Tang Ke slept until noon, then had a casual brunch of pancakes and cornmeal. His parents sat in the living room watching a movie, their conversation unrelated to the film. But then a line in the script clicked, and they started talking about livelihood policies.

She has become accustomed to daydreaming and emptying her mind with such background noise like the news broadcast.

After finishing the last bite of pancake, she remembered that Xue Jiayin's luggage was still in the rental house and she had to let her take it away in the afternoon.

"Dad, you're not going out today? Lend me the car." Tang Ke walked towards the living room.

Mr. Tang nodded perfunctorily, and then continued with his unique insights on the grand social issue of "Should public toilets have toilets?"

Dong Ci couldn't bear to listen any longer. Compared to her daughter, she felt that her words were more appealing. So she turned around and asked, "Why do you want a car?"

"Xue Jiayin's stuff is still with me. I'll return it to her later." Tang Ke saw two large boxes of yellow peaches stacked next to the coffee table and felt unfamiliar. "Why did you buy so many yellow peaches? Or who gave them to you?"

"Oh, you reminded me." Dong Ci stood up. "Last time, Fu Yu sent a lot of watermelons to our family. We should return the favor. Your dad has a friend who sells fruit. His yellow peaches are very sweet. You can give some to Fu Yu and his parents."

Tang Ke half-crouched, trying to lift a box. With her effort, the peaches rose a full two centimeters. She stiffened her neck and complained, "How can I lift this by myself?"

In the end, it was Tang's father who ran up and down the stairs twice to deliver the two boxes of yellow peaches to the car. As for what to do after transporting them to the rental house, Tang Ke can just use his social skills to ask the security guard downstairs in the community for help. Your parents can only accompany you here - one thing is one thing, said Tang, a middle-aged man who loves his father like a mountain but is determined to get out of the mountains.

Tang Ke first went to Xue Jiayin's house to pick her up, and then they returned to their rental house together. Since she had left earlier the previous night, Xue Jiayin had no idea what happened next. Tang Ke didn't intend to mention it. Neither Shi Bohuan's offensive behavior nor Fu Yu's clumsy counterattack seemed that important in retrospect.

But later Shi Bohuan sent her a text message. She didn't reply at first, but half an hour later he sent another long message.

"I was drunk last night. Did I say anything I shouldn't have said? / Covering my face"

"I don't remember clearly, I just remember that you kind of rejected me at the end. You might have misunderstood something. I've been wanting to find an opportunity to tell you happy wedding, and the gift money is all ready. I haven't seen you in so many years, I was a little nervous. Last year, you couldn't come to Potato's wedding because of something, and we only chatted briefly in the group chat. At that time, you said you were single, and you suddenly got married this year. I was very surprised, but I sincerely wish you well. I'm happy for you that you've found a good home. I was too happy and said some nonsense unconsciously, but don't mind it. Now, let's get back to the topic. Happy wedding!"

"Transfer 1000.00 yuan"

Note: Membership fee

Seeing the words "I don't remember clearly", "misunderstanding", "happy for you", "unconsciously", etc., Tang Ke frowned even deeper. In fact, what he thought and how he said what he thought in his heart, she didn't think it had anything to do with her at this moment. Instead, she wondered why he became like this, and was completely different from the young Shi Bohuan in her impression.

Of course, she had no time to recall what the young Shi Bohuan looked like. The wheel of history rolled forward, crushing her seventeen years old and also crushing her old lover.

After all this time, she is the only one who still silently sticks to the writing style of a romantic poet. Her peers have long covered up their embarrassment with mosaics, erased their undignification with low pixels, and covered their faces instead of making fun of themselves.

Tank: "Thank you for your blessing! I won't accept any gift money/face covering, we are still preparing for the wedding, we will talk to you when you can drink the wedding wine/grin"

The romantic poet was full of nonsense, not to fit in, but to fucking communicate with this thing. Having said that, she had done her best. From now on, they would never have any contact with each other, and the road would lead to their own paths. If he insisted on taking the side road, then she could not do anything about it.

After seeing Xue Jiayin off, Tang Ke returned to his rental house at night and felt very lonely. He played games for a while, but the emptiness in his heart still could not be relieved.

Although both of them are staying at home, there is not much difference in form between one person playing with mobile phone and two people lying on the bed playing with mobile phones without disturbing each other, but the psychological effects are very different.

Lying on the bed, she took a photo with her legs crossed and sent it to Xue Jiayin, with the caption: "The water of Taohuatan is a thousand feet deep."

Research Dead Sharp Comment: "Not as embarrassing as a tank"

Tank: "What are you doing? Did you miss me?"

Research Death: "? I thought you had two boxes of yellow peaches and didn't give me any to eat."

Tank: "You're still holding a grudge. I told you I'm too lazy to open it. I can't just give it away piecemeal."

Researching Death: "It would be best to stack them into a pyramid and give it to someone, and you squat in front of it and act like the Sphinx."

Life advice: don’t give Tang Ke abstract opinions, she will really put them into practice.

Tank: "Hahahaha good idea, I'll go tear it down now."

Studying Death: "/Smile"

Tang Ke, who had nothing to do, got to work immediately. He used a utility knife to cut open the box, picked out yellow peaches of similar size, and stacked them layer by layer into a pyramid shape on the table.

After finishing the work, she took a selfie with the artwork, smiling brightly as if working people are the most glorious.

The researcher replied with deep resentment: "Send it to whoever you want to send it to/smile, don't be greedy here/smile"

Tank: “Oh.”

Tang Ke then forwarded the message to Fu Yu with one click. A few moments later, a red dot popped up in the upper right corner of the kitten's profile picture wearing black-framed glasses.

ForU: "Where did you go to play? What attractions have you never seen?"

Look, this is the talent scout who understands her talent.

Texting was a long story, so Tang Ke opted for a voice message. She pressed the button and spoke, "My parents gave you yellow peaches as a return gift for the watermelon. Xue Jiayin said it wasn't sincere enough to leave them in the box, so she asked me to artistically process them before giving them to you. How do you think? Out of ten, how would you rate it?"

ForU: "10 points, can be sold to Shanghai people"

"I'm not selling it. I'm giving it to you!" Tang Ke smiled. "Will you take me to work tomorrow?"

ForU: "Are you available for a video call now?"

There had been a misunderstanding before, and he had learned his lesson, so he asked first before fighting.

Tang Ke didn't hesitate and pressed the video call button as a response. After seeing the screen, she subconsciously fiddled with her bangs. Wherever the mirror was, she had to check her bangs.

Fu Yu was sitting on the sofa, his elbows on his knees, half leaning over the camera. He calmly turned up the brightness of the screen and continued, "Tomorrow, I'll go to work with you."

"Okay, that's great. You can take these two boxes of yellow peaches with you and share them with your colleagues at the company." Tang Ke was finally satisfied with his hairstyle and put his phone on the phone holder.

"Well, there's something else I need to discuss with you."

"What?"

Fu Yu squeezed her face on the screen with his thumbs, zooming it in and out, and said, "My parents came to my house for dinner a few days ago and asked why you didn't live with me. I said that your current place is close to your workplace, so it's convenient for you to go home after get off work. But it seems that they still hope that we can live together."

"Alas, they will tell it sooner or later. My parents are the same." Tang Ke expected his parents' concerns. They gradually became immune to the same reason after being used so many times.

She leaned forward, her chin resting on her arms, and spoke like a nutcracker. "And they're using the argument that a two-year separation automatically constitutes a breakdown in the relationship to pressure me, which I don't see fit. And that's not the worst part. Do you know what's the worst part? I rented this house three years ago after I got a permanent job, and it'll be three years next month. They told me to stop renting and just move in with you. I don't even have the last argument left. I really don't know how to argue. It's not just my parents; I was also asked about this at a class reunion. Luckily, we were just married, so I was able to get away with it. But if things go on for a while, it'll be hard to explain; it'll be easy to get caught."

Fu Yu looked at her quietly. They couldn't really look each other in the eye because of the screen, so his eyes could only follow her mouth as it opened and closed. After she finished speaking, he slowly said:

"This is what I want to discuss with you. Do you want to move in?"

Tang Ke straightened up, looking shocked, "Are you serious?"

"Um."

"Hiss..." Tang Ke touched his face in confusion, "If I move over, you're the one who'll suffer, right?"

Fu Yu thought about her refusing, and also thought about her tactfully putting the issue aside, but he didn't expect her to say that.

He pulled the corner of his mouth and asked, "Suffering a loss? Me?"

"Yes." Tang Ke was much smarter than him and said slowly, "Look, you bought this house with your hard work, and you also worked hard to decorate it. Once I move in, you have to make an extra room for me. Don't you think it's a disadvantage? Or -"

She was certain he had no such idea, so she boldly teased him, "Are you planning on letting me sleep in the same room with you?"

Varied? !

Fu Yu was speechless.

This part of the content needs to load for a while.

Seeing him stunned, Tang Ke tugged at his nails boredly, "You don't have to sacrifice so much. What's yours is yours. I know you mean well, but you've already helped me enough. I'll think of a reason to talk to my parents. If it really doesn't work out, I can just say I accidentally renewed the lease. There's nothing I can do about it."

"What about you?" Fu Yu asked abruptly.

Tang Ke's gaze returned to the screen. "What about me?"

Fu Yu casually grabbed a pillow, lazily leaned over, and held his phone horizontally, saying:

"I don't feel disadvantaged. Given your status, I think it's reasonable to add your name to the property deed. But you, don't you feel disadvantaged? Even if we don't sleep in the same room."

Even if they didn't live in the same house, men and women inevitably saw the more private aspects of each other's lives. If Tang Ke cared deeply about privacy, she would have to be on guard at home, so it would be better for her to live alone. Fu Yu wasn't sure if she would accept this.

When Tang Ke heard his words, his mind was filled with the thought of "adding your name to the property certificate", and he was deeply moved.

This guy is really easy to get along with. What kind of noble education did he receive, or has he never encountered any major setbacks since he was a child? He actually trusts others so much.

The more generous he was, the more uncomfortable she felt. And when he asked her if she felt at a disadvantage, he didn't know she'd slept in a dorm during youth training, and had lived in a mixed-gender homestay in Yunnan during her college graduation trip. Furthermore, when she'd returned to her hometown, she'd had a burly father, so she'd long imagined what it was like to live with a man. Compared to them, Fu Yu was definitely the fairest.

"Fu Yu," Tang Ke pretended to be experienced, his fingertips sparking nothing, but it was like he was smoking a cigarette from a respected old man, "Don't think that living together means the woman is at a disadvantage."

"What's the meaning……"

"Nothing. I just wanted to remind you not to be caught without pants on." Tang Ke lied, trying to make him back off.

Fu Yu sat up honestly, raised his phone, and filmed from top to bottom, saying honestly:

"I'm wearing it."

?

Is that what she meant?

The author has something to say: Fu Yu (smug): I am different from them, I am a good citizen.

Tang Ke: It’s not the same thing, buddy…
