Chapter 121 Living Together
His answer was an even more arrogant laugh.
After accidentally "appeasing" Zhou Zhou, Cheng Yu finally had the mind to do other things.
The suitcase I brought back is still in the hallway and hasn't been packed yet.
Zhou Zhou followed him into the cloakroom. Seeing him hanging his clothes one by one, occupying a small area of her cloakroom, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to live here?"
Cheng Yu hummed, as if it was a matter of course: "What's the problem?"
Zhou Zhou hasn't thought about living with him yet.
When she came out to the living room, she saw the box and thought he wanted to spend a few days with her, but she didn't expect that he would set up home here.
"I won't be used to it." Zhou Zhou said.
In her life, she had never spent a long time with others.
It’s not that I mind Cheng Yu moving in, but I’m not ready to completely go from living alone to living with someone else.
Cheng Yu paused, then suddenly tilted his head to look at her. His silent eyes were filled with emotion, "Weren't we living together in California?"
"That's different."
Zhou Zhou told him, "In California, we spent most of our time playing outside. It's different in Beijing. We spend more time at home. It's strange to have one's space occupied."
Cheng Yu understood what was said now, and his brows were a little unhappy: "You don't want to live with me?"
“…Not really.”
They are determined to be in a relationship. Both of them are straightforward people and there won't be any bends and turns.
As two adults, they have enjoyed lovemaking so many times. Although dating and living together is not in her imagination, she does not resist it and does not mind it. She just wants time to adapt.
"I'm used to being alone." Zhou Zhou told him, "Maybe we can take it step by step."
Knowing that she didn't want to, but just wanted to adapt, Cheng Yu's expression softened.
He knew Zhou Zhou wasn't the type to make excuses to delay, so he asked, "How do we proceed step by step?"
Zhou Zhou thought about it and discussed with him: "How about starting with three days a week?"
"Do you have any misunderstanding about my abilities?"
Cheng Yu put away the empty box and spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction, "I only stay here three days a week. Do I have to use my right hand to comfort my left hand for the remaining four days?"
Zhou Zhou: "...is this the reason why you're living together?"
"Of course, living together isn't for this." Cheng Yu said confidently, "It's not something you can only do if you live together, but you're obviously dividing my time unequally."
"You used to be fine even if you didn't do it for a month or two, didn't you?"
"Can it be the same?"
"Why is it different?"
"I didn't have a girlfriend before, so I could naturally control my desire for this. Now that I have a girlfriend, if I can still control myself, would I still be a man?"
Zhou Zhou snorted coldly: "When I have my period, you also have to endure it for seven days."
"Back then, I was still fighting bravely, and you were just calling me a bastard."
"You're being quite the asshole now," Zhou Zhou said. "Living together three days a week doesn't mean we can only see each other on those three days. We can see each other at other times as well."
"oh."
Cheng Yu responded lazily, then spoke slowly, dragging his voice, "So what you're saying is, I climbed into your bed and took good care of you, but in return you turned your back on me, kicked me, and told me to get out of here in the night?"
Zhou Zhou held his forehead with his hand. He could feel the veins in his solar plexus throbbing violently when his fingertips touched them. "Cheng Yu, how can you confuse right and wrong like this?"
"I'm discussing this with you." Cheng Yu said.
"Then what do you want to do?"
Cheng Yu thought for a moment and said, "You have to adapt to living together, and so do I."
Finally hearing a human word from him, Zhou Zhou nodded gratefully: "Yeah."
"If you say three days, then that's three days."
Cheng Yu said, "I'll stay with you on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and you'll get used to living with me. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, you'll stay with me, and I'll get used to living with you. Sundays are a day off."
Zhou Zhou: “…”
Taurus, living together also means Sundays off.
Working like a beast of burden gives you two days off a week, but living with him only gives you one day off a week.
"What's the difference between one, three, five, two, four, and six? Aren't we living together?" Zhou Zhou asked him.
"Of course there is a difference." Cheng Yu pointed to the closet where he had just hung his clothes. "Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are days when I invade your life, while Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are days when you invade my life. It feels different."
Zhou Zhou: “…”
As she stared in astonishment, Cheng Yu pushed her directly into the room.
The matter of cohabitation was dropped in a few words by him. Zhou Zhou didn't even think about putting up a fight. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu brought it up again before going to bed: "Zhou Zhou, seriously, do you really not want to live with me?"
Zhou Zhou was already sleepy at this time. She mumbled in a vague voice while half asleep and half awake: "I don't miss it."
Because she likes him, she will condone some of Cheng Yu's behaviors, but it does not mean that she has no bottom line.
If she really resisted living together, she would not give in even if Cheng Yu kept pestering her.
She just wanted time to get used to it.
But if Cheng Yu really wants to be with her, she can also try to accept it.
What Zhou Zhou didn't say was that the moment she saw Cheng Yu hanging the clothes in her closet, she truly experienced the taste of love. The way of getting along with each other was completely different from before, and Cheng Yu completely occupied her life.
But she did not resist and even felt it was beautiful.
Cheng Yu smiled, and his warm fingertips stroked the loose hair on her cheeks, and when he pushed it behind her ears, he pinched her earlobe.
She closed her eyes and moaned unconsciously, then heard his serious voice: "We can try living together first."
He said, “If you still can’t get used to it after trying it, we’ll try another way.”
Cheng Yu seemed a little sleepy, his voice was slightly hoarse, and each word rolled out slowly from the depths of his throat, restraining his usual frivolous edge.
"Yeah." Zhou Zhou responded subconsciously.
Still somewhat sober, it took him a while to grasp what he meant. Zhou Zhou half-opened his eyelids and looked at him dazedly: "Cheng Yu, what possessed you so late at night?"
And when he negotiates.
Cheng Yu scoffed and exhaled through his nose: "I've been possessed by Cinderella, and out of nowhere I've gained a pumpkin carriage and crystal slippers. You should cherish them now, because my words will be invalid when the sun comes up."
"Tsundere." Zhou Zhou laughed.
There was no response, only the sound of slightly heavy breathing.
She was quickly pulled into someone's arms, with a leg firmly pressed against her.
Zhou Zhou was not satisfied and nudged towards him, tacitly agreeing to try living together.
She understood that Cheng Yu insisted on living with her, but he also began to learn to care about her emotions.
Zhou Zhou slept well and had no dreams all night.
When I woke up, there was no one by the bed, and when I turned over, the other side was already cold.
The bedroom door was closed and Cheng Yu had already gotten up.
Zhou Zhou thought he had gone to the company, and when he squinted his eyes to pick up his phone, he didn't see his message.
Thinking of something, she sat up from the bed, opened the door in her slippers, walked across the corridor and saw Cheng Yu's back.
A stack of gray folders appeared on the coffee table where her design drafts had originally been placed. Cheng Yu was leaning on the sofa, talking on the phone.
"If you don't know how to do a background check, just pack up and get out."
He sounded unhappy. "Do I need you to tell me what's going on with the company? I've already said it before. I don't want revenue or debt figures. I want information about those two old men to ensure there won't be any problems after the acquisition. You guys compiled this thick stack of background checks, but which word is useful?"
