I just came out of the Gansu-Qinghai bar.
Xia Wan then received a call from Cui Ziqi.
On the other end of the phone, Cui Ziqi's voice was gentle, completely different from his usual self.
"Have you finished your plans?"
Xia Wan felt that Cui Ziqi's timing was too tight.
She had just left the bar.
She hummed in agreement, but her interest wasn't very high.
Cui Ziqi seemed oblivious and spoke casually.
"Where are you? I'll come pick you up and take you to the home furnishing market."
Xia Wan was surprised by Cui Ziqi's words. In her lifetime, this little pervert would actually take the initiative to invite her to the home furnishing market.
What are you going to the furniture market for? What do you want to buy?
"Add some things to the house."
Fresh!
How could a little pervert think about going to a home furnishing market and decorating his home?
She would never forget that when she first moved into the apartment, it was so cold and empty that it looked like a morgue, and the owner clearly didn't know how to live a good life.
But it's good, the little pervert has made progress!
Now you understand life!
Her gloomy mood eased somewhat, and she said to Cui Ziqi:
"No need to pick me up, I'll take a taxi there. See you at the home furnishing market."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Wan took a taxi to the home furnishing market.
After arriving at the destination.
She saw Cui Ziqi waiting for her at the door.
Today is a cloudy day. The afternoon sun is blocked by thick clouds, making the sky over Lincheng dim.
The five-story home furnishing market was brightly lit.
Cui Ziqi leaned against the dragon pillar by the door, playing on his phone. The backlighting accentuated his excellent physique.
With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his often-wearing overcoat elongated his proportions. Leaning casually against a pillar, his lazy and arrogant demeanor drew people's attention.
Among the several groups of people passing by the door, their eyes remained fixed on Cui Ziqi for a long time.
Xia Wan paid the money and ran to Cui Ziqi in a few steps.
"I'm here!"
Cui Ziqi's lips curved slightly, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.
He took off his headphones and put them in his pocket, then naturally took Xia Wan's hand, their fingers intertwined.
"Let's go."
Xia Wan looked at him curiously, "Were you listening to music just now? What were you listening to? Can I listen to it too?"
"I'll put it for you when we get home."
Xia Wan stopped insisting.
The two strolled down from the fifth floor.
The top floor features rooms decorated in various styles, with large furniture concentrated on this floor.
Xia Wan asked Cui Ziqi, "What do you want to buy?"
"I want to change the bed sheets and duvet cover."
Xia Wan asked in confusion, "You went all the way to the home furnishing market just to buy bed sheets and duvet covers?"
"Take this opportunity to relax," Cui Ziqi said. "Since you're already here, why not see if there's anything you'd like to buy?"
Cui Ziqi was unusually good-tempered today.
But Xia Wan thought it was a good thing.
Everyone knows they need to go out and relax; the little pervert is getting better and better!
That way she can leave with more peace of mind.
"I won't buy any more. I'll help you choose the sheets and duvet cover later."
She doesn't have much time left, so there's no need for her to buy anything more.
As she spoke, she pulled Cui Ziqi down to the floor where they sold four-piece bedding sets.
But Cui Ziqi gently stopped him.
"Let's take a look around."
Cui Ziqi used just two words, gentle yet resolute.
Xia Wan simply said "Oh" and didn't insist.
Girls have a peculiar habit when browsing home furnishings: when they see beautiful and practical furniture, they unconsciously imagine their dream house.
When Xia Wan was still a corporate slave, she hoped that she could buy a house.
She decorated the house in her favorite style, designing and decorating it herself.
Therefore, even though it was just Cui Ziqi who wanted to browse, after a while, it was Xia Wan who pulled Cui Ziqi aside to introduce the wooden bookshelf.
"In a sun-drenched study, if it's decorated in a simple, natural wood style, with white sheer curtains by the window and a few potted plants, and a gentle breeze blowing through, lifting the curtains, the atmosphere is so inviting that you'd want to slap yourself if you weren't reading..."
"I think your bedroom is too cold. White walls and black blankets, it's almost like the room where the devil lives. You should change to some warm-colored furniture and decorations, so it will feel warmer to you."
"Ziqi, this dining table is great! The tabletop is wide, so if Zuo Cheng, Tang Xiao, and the others come sometime, everyone can sit down. The main thing is the high-tech design of the table; it even has a smart food warming function, which is very convenient!"
"..."
Xia Wan chattered away in Cui Ziqi's ear.
Cui Ziqi occasionally responded to Xia Wan's occasional questions, such as "Isn't that right?", "Is it good?", "Do you like it?"
The two of them seemed to be in a relationship like a newlywed couple.
Choosing furniture, they looked forward to their future life after marriage.
When they came out of the home furnishing market, Xia Wan looked at the bed sheets and duvet cover in Cui Ziqi's hand with some disdain.
It's the all-black version that Cui Ziqi likes.
"So, all my earnest advice to you inside to make the room warmer didn't get a word in edgewise?"
Cui Ziqi put the things in her hand into the back seat.
"I'm used to using black; it makes me feel safe."
He rarely spoke to Xia Wan with explanatory language, such as using emotionally charged words like "feel safe."
Xia Wan paused, but did not reply.
Seeing Cui Ziqi get into the driver's seat, she looked at the gauze in his hand and found it very offensive.
"Give me the key, I'll open it."
Cui Ziqi glanced at her, but did not refuse, and handed over the key.
Xia Wan reached out to take it.
But just as her fingers touched the keys, Cui Ziqi grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
'Bang!'
