Lin Xiangyi glanced at Xie Qingxiao, who said he didn't know. He glanced at Zhang Pengfei and said, "Thanks. But brother, it's not necessary."
"Yeah," Lin Xiangyi echoed, "How many rooms does the house you bought have? You're going to give up two rooms at once. Are you not going to get married or have children in the future?"
Shen Xiaolan immediately said, "Don't worry about that. His house has six or seven rooms. It's enough for him no matter what."
OK.
Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi said nothing after hearing this, and agreed to stay at Zhang Pengfei's house tonight.
Although Zhang Pengfei bought his house at about the same time as the braised food shop, he did not have enough money to renovate it yet. Fortunately, the original owner was kind and left him a lot of furniture that he could not take away.
Zhang Pengfei simply cleaned the house, bought some necessary supplies, and moved in.
"...clean up the yard, build cement on the old and damaged places, plant some flowers and plants...use the broken doors and windows if they can be used, and remove them if they can't and replace them with new ones. The walls are old too, so they need to be repainted white..." Shen Xiaolan also came over, walking in front with Lin Xiangyi, chatting about how to renovate the old house Zhang Pengfei bought.
Lin Xiangyi looked around Zhang Pengfei's house. It was indeed very shabby. Although it had been cleaned, the window frames were falling off, the eaves were mottled, the walls were peeling, and every corner was filled with traces of time...
However, this house has a very classical charm and is beautifully designed. If you have the money to redecorate it, it will still look very nice.
"This is your room," Zhang Pengfei and Shen Xiaolan led Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi to a room, "It has been cleaned, the mat is new, and the sheets are clean..."
"Okay," Lin Xiangyi responded.
Shen Xiaolan: "Okay, I can go back soon..."
"I'll take you there!" Zhang Pengfei said immediately.
Lin Xiangyi smiled knowingly, knowing that they wanted to be alone for a while, so she urged them to leave quickly.
"What a sweet relationship, so sticky," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile after they left.
When she turned around, she saw Xie Qingxiao looking at her with a fake smile.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Lin Xiangyi asked.
"They are dating, isn't it normal to be so clingy?" Xie Qingxiao answered irrelevantly, and then asked: "Are you tired? I'll go boil some hot water for you to take a shower?"
"Of course it's normal," Lin Xiangyi followed him out: "But what did you mean by looking at me like that just now?"
After saying that, she poked his thick shoulder and said, "Hurry up and tell me. Don't keep your worries in your heart anymore."
From looking at houses to buying houses, Xie Qingxiao accompanied Zhang Pengfei. He was already familiar with the place. He walked out to the kitchen and turned on the light.
Looking back at Lin Xiangyi, he said in a rather resentful tone: "You also know that it is normal for them to be clingy when they are dating. We are still husband and wife, so why don't you cling to me?"
Lin Xiangyi seldom behaves intimately with Xie Qingxiao in front of outsiders. Occasionally, when Xie Qingxiao behaves intimately with her, she will avoid him.
Xie Qingxiao has been bothered by this matter for a long time.
Lin Xiangyi: “…”
"That's different," she chuckled.
She was indeed not used to being too intimate with Xie Qingxiao in public, not that she thought it was against morals or was unwilling.
It’s just because their beginning didn’t want to be a normal acquaintance like Zhang Pengfei and Shen Xiaolan. They went from being at loggerheads in the beginning to being forced to get married and "live together" after an accident… With such a deformed beginning, how could their relationship be as sweet and sticky as a normal one?
Xie Qingxiao was unwilling to let her go easily: "What's the difference? If they are dating, we are still husband and wife. Our relationship is deeper than theirs. Isn't it more natural for us to stick together?"
Lin Xiangyi wanted to say no: "You don't know that dating now is all about romance and love, suitable for being intimate. But after marriage, it's all about living, suitable for a simple life."
Xie Qingxiao: "We haven't talked about dating yet."
Lin Xiangyi: “…” So you mean we can’t skip this step?
She wanted to say something else, but seeing Xie Qingxiao's serious look, she found it a little funny, so she finally stopped teasing him and coaxed him, "Okay!"
As for what she was doing, she didn't say anything. She just leaned on Xie Qingxiao and responded to his words with her actions. She said in a drawn-out tone, "Don't talk about these nonsense. I'm so tired."
Xie Qingxiao hugged her waist, the corners of his lips curled up: "You've worked hard today, can I help you press it?"
"Let's talk about it after I take a shower," Lin Xiangyi said, "I'm sweating all over now."
"I'll go boil some water," Xie Qingxiao asked Lin Xiangyi to stand up straight.
When Lin Xiangyi saw him scoop water into the pot and put it on the gas, she moved closer again.
Xie Qingxiao: "...Aren't you hot?"
The weather is still quite cool now, but they just came back from outside and it's still quite hot. Plus, they've been busy all day and sweated a lot, so their bodies are sticky. It doesn't feel good to hug each other.
Lin Xiangyi: "Didn't you ask me to stick with you?"
Xie Qingxiao's temples throbbed twice.
Seeing his speechless expression, Lin Xiangyi raised her foot and quickly kissed the corner of his lips, then she let him go without laughing: "Is that sticky enough?"
Xie Qingxiao found it a little funny to see her dealing with him as if she had completed a task, so he didn't argue with her: "If you are tired, go back to the house and rest. I'll watch the water here and call you when it's ready."
"It's not that tiring," Lin Xiangyi said, "I'm here with you. We made a lot of money today, are you happy?"
Xie Qingxiao moved two chairs, wiped the dust off them, and asked Lin Xiangyi to sit down: "Happy."
Lin Xiangyi sat down next to Xie Qingxiao and looked at the house Zhang Pengfei bought: "When we save enough money, we will also come to the county town to buy a house."
"good."
"But before that, you need to save a certain amount of money to ensure the operation of the business."
"good."
"Once the braised food business is stable, we can look for good money-making opportunities..."
"good."
"Why do you say yes to everything?" Lin Xiangyi looked up at Xie Qingxiao.
Xie Qingxiao lowered his eyes and looked at her: "As long as it is what you want to do, I will accompany you to do it."
"..." Lin Xiangyi pursed her lips that revealed a sweet smile, "You are just a smooth talker."
Xie Qingxiao: "I just said what was in my heart."
"Now you dare to tell me your true feelings?" Lin Xiangyi said curiously.
Xie Qingxiao looked at her and snorted, "Isn't it because you taught me well?"
Lin Xiangyi smiled. Ever since she knew that Xie Qingxiao liked her but didn't dare to tell her, she had severely "taught" Xie Qingxiao a lesson and told him not to hide his feelings in front of her in the future.
Xie Qingxiao is really changing slowly.
Lin Xiangyi affirmed and praised: "I taught well, and you also learned well, please keep it up!"
Xie Qingxiao gave her a look that was half a smile.
