It takes half an hour for the washing machine to wash the sheets. During this time, Xu Man had nothing to do, so she followed Qin Shen to a nearby supermarket and bought a week's worth of food and vegetables, including rice, flour, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. She also made a list one by one and put them in the shopping cart.
Originally, Qin Shen didn't want her to come with him. Although they had agreed to go to the supermarket together last night, that was said before going to bed. He didn't expect that the two of them would spend so much time together at night, and naturally he didn't expect that his lover would have sore waist and legs today.
Seeing that her steps were a little unsteady when she went up and down the stairs, and that she was obviously still feeling unwell, he wanted to go alone and leave her at home to rest. After all, it was just buying some daily necessities, which was not a big deal. But Xu Man, contrary to her usual behavior, insisted on going with him. He had no choice but to take her to the supermarket together.
Xu Man's idea was simple. This was the first time they went shopping after living together, and they were buying daily necessities like rice, oil, soy sauce and vinegar. It was like a newlywed couple buying things for their new home. It made her happy from the bottom of her heart, and she had a warm and joyful feeling, so she naturally wanted to come along.
Just like now, she held Qin Shen's arm, leaned on his shoulder with a smile, and walked past the shelves filled with a wide variety of goods. She felt her whole body become lighter, and even the numbness and discomfort between her waist and legs was reduced and could be ignored.
After buying the things and returning home, the sheets had been washed and dried, rolled up and lying quietly in the washing machine. Xu Man took it out and put it in the dryer, then returned to the new bedroom where she had lived for half a day, and packed up her things with Qin Shen and moved into his master bedroom.
First came her frequently used handbag, followed by cosmetics and some small items, and finally her pile of clothes, most of which had been sorted and folded yesterday, and she just needed to move them to another place.
The master bedroom happened to be equipped with a large vertical wardrobe, which was more than enough to hold the clothes of two people. Xu Man originally wanted to share half with Qin Shen, but when she opened the door, she found that only a small part of the space was used for clothes, and the rest of the space was empty. In addition, except for the few pieces she folded for Qin Shen last night, the other clothes were placed in a rather messy manner, with tops and bottoms mixed together at random. Seeing this, she sighed helplessly, took them all out, and prepared to rearrange them.
Seeing this, Qin Shen quickly said, "I can sort these clothes myself, no need to trouble you."
"It's okay. I have to sort out my closet later anyway. Your clothes and my clothes need to be reorganized and sorted out." Xu Man unfolded a T-shirt, spread it on the bed, folded it in half, and put it aside. She looked up at him and smiled, saying, "Speaking of which, do you remember what you promised me yesterday?"
Qin Shen was stunned. He had promised her many things yesterday. Especially in the second half of the night, his beloved girl could not bear his demands and sobbed softly with panting voice. He made all kinds of promises as if they were free of charge just to calm her emotions and make her relax. For a moment, he could not guess which one she was referring to.
"…Which one do you mean?"
Xu Man blushed. She hadn't thought about it that way at first, but he suddenly said that, which reminded her of the blushing and heart-pounding things that happened last night, as well as the series of promises and guarantees that she didn't think were true at the time but now realized were completely unreliable when she thought about it.
"What are you thinking about? I mean clothes!" She bit her lip and said shyly, "Didn't you promise me last night that you would organize your clothes yourself and let me supervise you? In the end, why do you still want me to help you now?"
Qin Shen suddenly realized that this was indeed the case. He coughed with a guilty conscience and said with a wry smile, "So I just said that I can do this myself, so you don't have to do it."
"Forget it. You said the same thing last night, but you didn't even touch the clothes I folded for you." Xu Man didn't dare to expect him to tidy up the clothes. She shook her head and said, "Let me do it."
Of course Qin Shen felt embarrassed to let her do these things alone, so he took a few steps forward, picked up a pair of trousers from the bed, folded them in half, and put them on the pile of clothes she had sorted out. The two of them worked together and quickly sorted out all the clothes and placed them in the closet according to categories.
Next was Xu Man's own clothes. Although she didn't need to rearrange them like Qin Shen's, she still had to go back and forth between her new and old bedrooms twice and move out everything that had been sorted out and placed in the closet yesterday.
At this moment, she felt particularly stupid. Tian Sidu had told her that living together was not just about sharing a room with friends, but she still chose a guest room with a reserved and lucky mentality. Now, she had to repeat the same thing twice.
But if you think about it carefully, if she had told Qin Shen that she wanted to sleep in the same room with him when she came over yesterday, it would have seemed very strange. After all, the two of them had not yet reached the final step at that time. It would have been too straightforward to just say that they wanted to sleep together. It was as if she was hinting at something. With her personality, she definitely wouldn't be able to say it, and in the end she would still go to the guest room.
There is really no solution...
By the time everything was ready, it was already past four in the afternoon. Qin Shen went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Xu Man also followed him downstairs, but she went to the bathroom, took out the dried sheets, put them in her "old" bedroom, folded them and placed them at the end of the bed, then went back downstairs and went into the kitchen to help Qin Shen.
She had no experience in cooking, but she knew how to cook rice. She just washed the rice, added water, and turned on the rice cooker, and it was done. Then there was nothing for her to do. Qin Shen had already washed and cut the vegetables. She didn't know how to do the remaining steps such as blanching them in hot oil, so she just stayed aside and watched, saying a few words to him from time to time.
The oil pan was heated over medium heat, making a tiny sizzling sound, which suddenly became louder after the meat slices were put in. The sizzling sound was loud but not loud, revealing a strong breath of life, making Xu Man feel like her heart was filled. She reached her climax when Qin Shen picked up a piece of fried tender meat and fed it to her, and she couldn't help wanting to smile.
This is probably the feeling of happiness...
…
Perhaps considering that he had to go to work the next day, when he went to bed at night, Qin Shen did not keep on doing it until the middle of the night like he did yesterday. He just did it once. Of course, even if he wanted to, Xu Man would not give in. The numbness in her body had not completely faded away yet. If he did it again, she would really not be able to get up tomorrow.
After they finished, they each took a shower and fell asleep on the bed. Xu Man showered first, and Qin Shen waited for her to finish before going to the bathroom. He finished in less than ten minutes, which surprised her: "How come you finished so quickly?"
Qin Shen was also surprised: "It's just a shower, of course it's done quickly."
Then Xu Man understood that the concept of taking a bath was different in their minds. Of course, it might also be because there were more marks on her body and it took longer to clean.
She was too nervous yesterday and let Qin Shen take the lead. She followed his pace the whole time. When she was going out shopping today, she found many kiss marks on her neck when she was changing clothes. Summer clothes are all low-necked and thin, so she took a lot of effort to cover up those marks. So she just now specifically reminded Qin Shen not to leave marks in places that are easily visible. They were only shopping in the supermarket for an hour and a half, and it would be okay if she showed a little bit occasionally and no one saw it. Even if someone saw it, it didn't matter. They were all strangers, so who cared about who? She had to stay in the detachment for a whole day tomorrow, and if someone saw her, she would be so embarrassed.
Qin Shen listened to her and kissed her shoulders and neck with less force, leaving no marks. But maybe to compensate, he put all his strength into her back, almost making her collapse. Not to mention responding and retaliating, she could hardly keep up with the rhythm and collapsed on the bed.
She finally understood that you really can't trust what men say in bed, but even if you do, don't have too high expectations, because they will always give you a big surprise in other areas.
Fortunately, they went to bed early and finished at ten o'clock in the evening, which was a little earlier than the time when Xu Man usually went home to rest after working overtime. Because she was tired, she fell asleep quickly after turning off the lights. She had been worried about whether she would not be used to sleeping with someone next to her or suffer from breathing asynchrony, but she did not encounter any of the problems and slept until dawn.
A small incident happened when she woke up in the morning. First, Qin Shen's cell phone rang at six in the morning. Xu Man just opened her eyes dazedly because of the noise, and Qin Shen turned it off, saying that he forgot to change the alarm time. Since they live together now, he can go directly to the detachment in the morning and no longer need to take a detour to the community to pick her up. It is still early now, so she can sleep a little longer.
When Xu Man lay back on the pillow, her mind fell into a daze. After a while, her cell phone rang. Then she realized that she had forgotten to set the alarm time.
After being woken up by two alarm clocks in succession, she was no longer sleepy. She turned around and saw Qin Shen, who also had his eyes open, holding his forehead with a helpless look on his face. The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"Get up." She was the first to sit up from the bed. She felt very good. Her waist was not very sore, just a little uncomfortable. But it was much better than yesterday. "It's almost half past six. It's about time to get up and clean up."
This time was actually quite early for Qin Shen. Before Xu Man came to Mingzhou and he didn't need to work overtime all night, he usually got up after seven o'clock, because he only needed to wash up and change clothes before going out, which would not take more than fifteen minutes. But seeing his lover sitting up and urging him, he turned over and sat up, got out of bed to wash his face and brush his teeth.
They no longer buy breakfast from the breakfast shop and eat it on the way as before. One advantage of living together is that there is plenty of time, and there is always someone who is fast enough to make full use of it. When Xu Man finished washing, changing clothes and came downstairs, Qin Shen had already cooked two bowls of noodles with the leftovers from last night and put them on the table waiting for her to eat.
