When Mu Nanfang arrived at the Gu family's house, he was sweating profusely from running.
"Brother Nanfang, how anxious are you? You're sweating all over!"
When Sanqi saw Mu Nanfang push the door open and enter, he was covered in sweat and made a joke.
"What's wrong? Is something chasing you?"
Gu Xuanyi also chimed in with a sarcastic remark. He was now the older brother, Liu Jiu's older brother, and also Mu Nanfang's older brother, so he had to call him that willingly.
"You two are everywhere, why aren't you so enthusiastic during morning exercise?"
Liu Jiu was puzzled. Every morning when they ran the 3,000 meters, the two of them looked like wilted eggplants. But after their morning exercise, they would be full of energy.
"Liu Jiu, so you're starting to side with Mu Nanfang now? How could you do this? We're blood relatives, after all!"
Gu Xuanyi got hooked on the game; he just wanted to see how Liu Jiu had changed. He didn't know before, but now that their relationship was out in the open, he was dying of curiosity about how Liu Jiu dated.
"He doesn't have a fever, so why is he talking nonsense?"
Liu Jiu pressed down on Gu Xuanyi and touched his forehead. It wasn't hot at all.
"Ha ha……"
Sanqi was laughing so hard at her brother for always doing such useless things; her sister's thought process was completely straightforward.
"Stop laughing. If you two do the same thing in the 3,000 meters tomorrow, I'll suggest that Dad send you two to the army for training for a while."
"Liu Jiu, I was wrong. I will definitely be able to speed up tomorrow, really. I'm going to study now, to draw lines. I'm going to draw lines."
Gu Xuanyi felt a chill run down his spine. In the dead of winter, this really was his own sister.
"Sis, I'm going to translate a magazine for Brother Nanfang."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Sanqi also quickly retreated.
"Let's go to the study. I have a question for you."
Liu Jiu spent a long time studying computer knowledge, but there were a few parts he didn't understand.
"Okay, I'm going to get some water, I'm thirsty."
"Mu Nanfang, the green tea mug on the table is new; it was prepared for you."
Liu Jiu remembered the tea mug she had taken out that morning. Since Mu Nanfang would be visiting frequently in the future, she needed to prepare a cup for him, since her family all had their own cups.
"knew."
Mu Nanfang happily went to find his teacup, took a sip of water, and found it tasted a little sweet.
Upstairs in the study, Liu Jiu pointed out the parts she didn't understand and waited for Mu Nanfang to explain them to her.
"What are the things you don't understand?"
Mu Nanfang entered the study, put the teacup aside, and began to explain computer knowledge to Liu Jiu.
"It would be great to have a computer; it would be much more intuitive to operate this."
Mu Nanfang and his classmates could only access computers during class; other students who were not majoring in computer science did not have access to them.
"A computer must be very expensive these days."
Although I don't know the exact price of 69, it certainly won't be cheap.
"About ten thousand but less than twenty thousand."
Mu Nanfang inquired about the price and was shocked when he found out—it was more than his father's annual salary!
"It's more expensive than the house my mom bought! That's terrifying!"
I knew Liu Jiu was expensive, but I didn't know it was this expensive!
"Why is Aunt Gu buying a house? Isn't this house big enough?"
Mu Nanfang was quite surprised. Are people still buying their own houses these days? Aren't they usually provided with housing by their work units?
“My mom said the house belongs to the military and will be taken back after my dad retires. Also, my mom bought the house as a way to save money, and she can collect rent if she rents it out.”
Liu Jiu didn't quite understand either. Her mother had handled all of this, and her father didn't even know how much money the family had or where the house they bought was located.
"Really? Aunt Gu has quite a business sense. Now that you mention it, I need to think about it too. My dad is definitely going to live in a retirement home after he retires, so we need to have our own little home!"
This was the first time Mu Nanfang had considered this issue. He hadn't thought about these things before, assuming that after graduating from university, his workplace would allocate housing. However, it seemed unlikely that he and Liu Jiu would be allocated housing immediately after graduation.
“The company will provide housing by then. Besides, it’s okay if they don’t provide housing. We can just rent a place nearby or buy our own. My mom said that buying a house won’t be a loss.”
Liu Jiu was unaware that her mother had already prepared two houses for her and San Qi.
"Don't worry about this. You'll be joining the army after you graduate. I'll take care of things at home. Don't get distracted. Just focus on getting home safely."
This was the first time Mu Nanfang had ever thought about money. Before, his family gave him pocket money, and he never felt that he didn't have enough. After entering university, with the school providing subsidies and his family giving him pocket money, he even felt that he was quite wealthy.
"By the way, what happened to you just now? You're all sweaty from running."
Liu Jiu was so caught up in Gu Xuanyi's antics that she almost forgot about this matter.
"When I got near Commander Ma, I ran into Ma Zijun. He wanted to chat with me. We talked for a while on the basketball court. I was worried you'd be anxious, so I ran a few steps."
"What does Ma Zijun want with you? To spar? If so, it would be a bit unfair for him to win, since he's a proper military academy student. However, given his current strength, it's hard to say who's stronger between you and him."
Mu Nanfang looked at Liu Jiu, who was analyzing the situation seriously, and reached out to ruffle her hair. She really hadn't changed at all; her first reaction was still to spar!
"You've messed up my hair, why do you like to ruffle it so much?"
Looking at Liu Jiu's puzzled expression, what could Mu Nanfang say? All he could say was that all he could do now was to smooth his hair down.
"You're still young. You'll understand when you grow up."
Liu Jiu thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered a foreign novel she had read, which contained many descriptions of love. She suddenly felt a little hot.
"What's wrong? Why are you blushing all of a sudden?"
Mu Nanfang had no idea that his words would have such a powerful effect; Liu Jiu's face turned visibly red.
"Mu Nanfang, we are still young and cannot do those things. We can only do them after we get married."
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Jiu decided to just say it directly.
"What's up?"
Mu Nanfang was stunned; he didn't understand what Liu Jiu was talking about.
"Yes, it's about kissing and having children."
Liu Jiu felt ashamed. Honestly, he didn't understand anything and kept asking questions.
"Cough cough..."
Mu Nanfang also felt that the temperature in the room seemed to have risen, and he also felt hot.
"Brother Nanfang, I've finished translating. Come over and take a look and see if there are any incorrect technical terms."
Sanqi pushed open the door and came in, noticing two strange-looking people inside.
"You two had a sparring session, why are your faces so red?"
"Sanqi, I'll go with you to take a look."
Mu Nanfang quickly found an excuse to leave; sometimes Liu Jiu's directness was too much for his heart to bear.
Liu Jiu also felt that he might have said something wrong. He fanned himself with his hand, felt thirsty, picked up the water jar next to him, and gulped down all the water in the jar.
"This is Mu Nanfang's teacup!"
It was only after 69 seconds that she belatedly realized she and Mu Nanfang had been sharing the same water container. The heat that had just subsided on her face returned!
