When they were in the vegetable section, Jiang Wanyan picked up a cabbage and asked him, "Can we have cabbage tonight?"
Xi Chenzhu nodded and said, "You take what you like, and I'll take what I like. Don't worry that I won't eat it."
This was the first time Jiang Wanyan heard such a statement. Seeing her surprise, Xi Chenzhu asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Wanyan explained, "I just think it's novel. Usually one person cooks, and the food they buy might not be liked by the other person. Few people say they buy the food they like."
Xi Chenzhu laughed and said, "It's not that there aren't any, it's just that they don't go out shopping together. Now that we go out shopping together, there's nothing wrong with buying what we like."
Jiang Wanyan nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, there's nothing wrong with buying the dishes you like."
When they arrived at the fish area, they were swimming around in the water. One of the fish jumped from the upper tank to the lower one. Jiang Wanyan was splashed with water from the jumping fish. She was startled and subconsciously stepped back to the outside, accidentally bumping into Xi Chenzhu.
Xi Chenzhu put his arm around Jiang Wanyan's waist and took her away from the "disaster zone," asking with concern, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Wanyan shook her head and said, "It's okay."
Then he asked Xi Chenzhu: "Sorry, did I bump into you just now?"
Xi Chenzhu said helplessly, "Force is mutual. You bumped into me, and I bumped into you. I'm stronger than you, so why ask me?"
Jiang Wanyan was amused by Xi Chenzhu's words. She said jokingly, "But I bumped into you."
Xi Chenzhu said, "You were the one who bumped into me, and I was happy to let you bump into me, so can you not apologize? I don't like to hear you apologize."
Jiang Wanyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You are a good person."
Xi Chenzhu was so amused by Jiang Wanyan's words that he didn't know what to say. He smiled helplessly, not expecting to be given the nice guy card.
Seeing Xi Chenzhu's helpless expression, Jiang Wanyan also felt that her words were a little inappropriate. She touched her head and said, "That's not what I meant. I'm not trying to be nice to you..."
Xi Chenzhu interrupted her and said, "I know what you mean."
Others might use the nice guy card to tease others, but Xi Chenzhu knew what kind of person Jiang Wanyan was. He knew that she would not tease him, but really thought he was a good person and was truly praising him.
Because Jiang Wanyan's clothes were splashed with water, the two did not stay for long and went straight home after buying the food.
When they got home, Xi Chenzhu said, "Go change into new clothes first. I'll take care of the dishes."
"Okay, you take care of it and leave it there, I'll do it."
The division of labor was clear. Jiang Wanyan went to change clothes first. She went into the house and took out her clothes to change. Suddenly, she remembered something. She walked to the door again and said to Xi Chenzhu who was busy in the kitchen, "You should not sleep on your side tonight."
Xi Chenzhu looked back at her and asked, "Why?"
Jiang Wanyan said, "If Nuannuan comes and sees us sleeping separately, she might think too much."
Jiang Wan actually wanted Xi Chenzhu to go back and sleep with her because she couldn't sleep well without him.
She knew that having other people come might not necessarily be a good thing, but she wanted to spend more time with Xi Chenzhu, as one day they might not have time to be together.
She wants to cherish every minute and every second.
But this excuse is too easy to be exposed. Xi Nuannuan would not come here for no reason, at least not before the winter vacation.
Xi Chenzhu said, "Okay, let's go back to sleep tonight."
Jiang Wanyan breathed a sigh of relief and went back to change clothes.
After changing clothes, Xi Chenzhu had almost finished preparing the dishes, and she only needed to cook.
After Jiang Wanyan finished cooking the vegetables, she served the last dish on the table and the two of them ate together.
After dinner, Xi Chenzhu asked Jiang Wanyan, "Aren't you going to buy the hanging chair for the balcony yet?"
Jiang Wanyan said, "We have to wait for Nuannuan to buy it."
Xi Chenzhu didn't ask any more questions. Looking at the empty balcony, he asked, "Do you want to buy some flowers to put here?"
Jiang Wanyan said embarrassedly, "Let Nuannuan take care of it too. Although I like flowers, I'm not very good at taking care of them, especially since there might be a lot of bugs in them."
She was a little afraid of insects. She was afraid of them when she was a child and she was still afraid of them when she grew up. When she saw an insect, her hair stood on end and she felt nauseous.
Xi Chenzhu looked at Jiang Wanyan and suddenly said, "Actually, there's something I haven't told you."
Jiang Wanyan looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xi Chenzhu said: "Actually, I'm afraid of noise."
Jiang Wanyan was stunned for a moment before she realized that Xi Chenzhu didn't want to embarrass her, so he gave her a way out.
She was touched by his thoughtfulness and felt a little distressed, so she asked softly, "Why don't you like noise?"
Xi Chenzhu didn't hide it from her and said with a smile, "When I was a child, the place where we lived was very noisy. There was a construction zone outside."
Xi Chenzhu spoke of the past with a touch of sadness and emotion. He said softly, "My mother took Nuannuan and me with her. We lived in that noisy little house. There was noise everywhere."
"I still remember one time in the middle of the night, something on the construction site fell from a high-rise building and smashed everything downstairs."
The loud noise scared him, as he already felt insecure.
Jiang Wanyan looked at Xi Chenzhu, frowned and asked, "Are you scared?"
Xi Chenzhu replied: "Yes, I was scared."
There was a flash of pain in his eyes, but then it became calm again, and he continued: "That's why I hate noise."
Xi Chenzhu's tone was light, as if he was talking about someone else, but Jiang Wanyan knew that it was an unpleasant memory for him.
Jiang Wanyan hugged him lovingly and said gently, "It's okay. There's no noise where we live."
Jiang Wanyan gently hugged Xi Chenzhu from behind, she could feel his mood.
Xi Chenzhu reached out, held Jiang Wanyan's hand that was holding his, and said, "I know. That's why I said, I like this place you chose very much."
When Jiang Wanyan heard him talk about her choice of this house, she suddenly asked, "When I bought the house, weren't you afraid that I would buy a bad one?"
Xi Chenzhu said: "No, when you looked at the house, I knew you were good at finding a house. You are more professional than me."
There was a hint of pride in his tone, and Jiang Wanyan smiled. She really knew how to find a house.
When she was at the Jiang family before, she had thought about moving out with Liang Manzhu, so she looked up a lot of information about finding a house. She knew clearly what kind of house was suitable for living and what she needed to pay attention to when looking for a house.
However, in the end, she was unable to bring Liang Manzhu out to live because Liang Manzhu was in the hospital and she married into the He family.
This has always been her regret.
