Chapter 196 New Home
The next day at noon, Su Xiaojuan flew back to Jiangcheng and left Su Xia a box of brand new clothes, shoes, and bags, as well as a moving company car.
No matter how safe a city is, it is impossible to make a young girl feel at ease if she takes a taxi back to school at 11 or 12 o'clock at night.
The Red Circle Firm exploits interns at such an intensity that Su Xia was determined to stick with it and no amount of persuasion would change her mind. Fortunately, Xu Jiqing bought a house almost across the street and she could go home and rest by crossing the road. Su Xiaojuan was also willing to let her daughter use it as a place to stay occasionally.
Just treat it as the princess's palace, giving the little boy who has become rich through his own efforts a chance to show his abilities.
Moving teams have become a popular full-service management service in recent years.
Since she couldn't enter the National Tsing Hua University dormitory building, Su Xia had to do the packing herself. But she didn't have to worry about the rest of the work, from moving the items upstairs to fully restoring them. She even had wardrobe storage and dust and mite removal services included.
The aunt who came to work was extremely skillful. The room was dusty and empty before she even left, and in a blink of an eye, even the lip balm and eye mask on the bedside table were in place. Everything was clean and shiny, and there was not a speck of dust on the desk lamp.
"...Is this the power of money?"
He Miao, who was about to help, was stunned and rolled down his sleeves, saying, "I'm a bit shocked."
"It seems I have to continue tutoring. I can't afford to lose money."
The girl opened the closet door and saw Su Xia's thick and thin clothes hanging there neatly, and she exclaimed in surprise again.
"I was worried about renting a house after graduation a while ago. I was suffocating just thinking about all the mess. Now that the budget is in place, everything is solved."
The house Xu Jiqing bought has been newly renovated.
The previous owner was an elderly lady living alone. She did art history research in Paris when she was young. After returning to China, she worked as a foreign language professor next door. She had very good taste.
The area of the house is not as large as Su Xia's flat, but the wide opening is open from north to south. The old man heard from somewhere that Su Xia plays the cello, so he specially gave them a valuable leather single stool.
The legs of the stool are decorated with tiny and elegant mother-of-pearl inlays, and the lacquer surface is smooth and beautiful. It is placed in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. When you sit down, the head of the stool is at the perfect height to rest on your shoulders, and the curtains are floating in the bright autumn breeze.
He Miao looked here and touched there.
I was about to say a few more words when I heard a boy calling out from outside the master bedroom door, "Have you packed up, our respected boss lady and her friends?"
"If you need anything, I'll go all out and call for help. If not, I suggest we hurry downstairs to the boss' birthday party. I'm starving and about to collapse."
When the door opened, Lin Lang was standing at the door leaning against the wall, holding a small black suitcase in his hand.
The boy was dressed in a clean tracksuit, looking as if he had been waiting there for a long time. He Miao was a little confused, "Why are you everywhere?"
Although we had agreed to have dinner together yesterday, the remaining two people were still nowhere to be seen, and he was running very actively.
"It's easy to understand, right? Haven't you heard of this idiom?"
Lin Lang put one hand in his pocket and answered himself, "Lin Lang is full of eyes."
“…You’re awesome.”
Su Xia smiled enough before replying. She didn't care whether the person was called by Xu Jiqing or not. She ran to the door in small steps, changed her shoes, and dragged He Miao to the elevator. "Let's eat first."
The parking space was given to the moving company, and Xu Jiqing's car was parked far away this time.
He Miao and Lin Lang were waiting downstairs. They drove a short distance away. Su Xia held Xu Jiqing's arm and swayed back and forth, never letting go.
I talked it over with Su Xiaojuan last night, and we moved into the new house smoothly today. I also booked a beautiful restaurant and a cake tonight, and planned to celebrate Xu Jiqing’s birthday with my high school and current friends.
The afterglow of the sunset shines on the road surface of the community, and the cobblestones are polished to a shine.
It's not a luxurious house for the rich, but she was so excited that her apple cheeks couldn't touch the ground, and she couldn't help jumping after taking two steps.
Xu Jiqing reached out to help her, "Are you so happy?"
Su Xia nodded vigorously.
Her hair fluttered in the autumn wind, her eyes sparkling. "This is buying a house in Beijing. Do you know how amazing you are?"
"I now suspect you have that special fetish," Su Xia frowned in feigned anger, "You've already planned it in your mind. You didn't tell me anything, and then secretly bought extremely expensive things, just to see me look terrified."
She has gained weight recently, and there is a shallow dimple on her cheek, which was recreated by Xu Jiqing's cafeteria meal card and intensive feeding.
Xu Jiqing lowered his eyes and looked for a while, but couldn't help but wiped it back and forth with his thumb.
"It's not that expensive. It should be much smaller than your house."
Su Xia felt very itchy when he touched her. She rubbed her cheek into his palm, gave him a kiss, and took advantage of the moment he froze to hide.
"It's old enough," she said. "I'm not at home playing badminton. If you have the ambition to serve the country through sports, there's always time to do it later. You can play table tennis in the basement, badminton on the first floor, basketball on the second floor, and let Jiaojiao practice swimming in the yard."
When she turned around and saw Xu Jiqing had been listening, she realized something and shut up instantly.
"I'm just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."
Xu Jiqing: "Okay."
Su Xia thought about it, then quickly changed her tone, "But I'm not just talking nonsense about letting Jiaojiao live with us. I'm serious about it."
Xu Jiqing didn't respond immediately this time.
His eyes rested on her quietly for a moment, his Adam's apple moved, and he hastily turned his face away. When he turned back, his handsome face was still cold, but his ears were a little red. "Okay."
Su Xia looked at him, "Why are you suddenly shy..."
She understood the question before I even finished asking it.
Her face became even redder, a chubby-faced tomato and a cold-faced tomato.
"That's not what I meant," she said.
Xu Jiqing: "Yeah."
Her head was buzzing and squeaking like a kettle.
Could you be a little more soft-hearted?
Even though he clearly doesn't show any emotion on his face, I still feel bad for him, worried that he feels insecure and that he is overthinking.
She bit her lip in self-abandonment and pretended to be at ease, "It's not that I don't mean that at all."
Xu Jiqing was much taller than her, and she couldn't see the expression on his face when looking straight at him, but her fingers were clasped together in an instant.
The other person's hot body temperature was transmitted without leaving any gap.
Su Xia calmed down and continued, "So you have to work hard in the future."
"Don't try too hard, just show some effort. The most important thing is to sleep well, eat well, and take care of yourself. Money can be earned slowly, and jewelry and houses can be bought slowly. I already have all these things. I just want you to stay with me."
The more they experienced together, the more she would express her thoughts and feelings in front of him, including those girlish thoughts that she would regret tomorrow if she said them today.
Even if she is a little clumsy and not so perfect and lovable, she still wants to let the flow of her heart flow out.
After so many reincarnations, it is already extremely difficult to meet her lover again, so why should she care about these few words.
"I told you I have a good life. If you stay by my side, I will bring you good luck."
"My mom asked me yesterday how your recovery from your previous injury was going."
Su Xia hugged his arm and clung to him like a koala. "...Don't look at her as if she's fierce, but she's actually very soft-hearted. From what I've observed, she probably already likes you a little bit."
Thinking of Su Xiaojuan's instructions yesterday, she turned her head and added seriously, "My mother is more concerned about her reputation and won't let me tell you. If you see her again in the future, you have to pretend to be afraid of her. Got it?"
The temperature in Beijing had dropped by the end of November. The shawl wrapped around Su Xia's neck was warm, and her hair was a soft golden color drawn by the setting sun.
Xu Jiqing hummed, the emotions that surged in that instant were so intense that he couldn't speak for several seconds. "I still have to listen to my mother from now on."
"Oh," Su Xia took his hand and moved it down, clasping his hands together, "but I want to make you happier."
Xu Jiqing looked at her and said, "I'm already happy."
She took two quick steps, grabbed his hand, and walked backwards in front of him, leaning forward to look around. "Do you know there's a word called 'stick reading'?"
"It's used to describe people like you. They speak passionately but with no expression on their faces. They're completely unconvincing."
Su Xia raised one hand and touched his lips, "At least smile."
Xu Jiqing was very obedient, with the corners of his lips slightly raised. Between his thick eyelashes were his beautiful eyes, looking at her intently.
“…”
Su Xia swallowed her saliva in a very unpromising manner, "Why don't you just stop laughing."
Xu Jiqing didn't say anything and continued to look at her.
"...Hey," her cheeks flushed a little, feeling like a pervert who gets carried away at the slightest provocation. "There are so many people in public now, and there are so many teachers from the school in the community. I see people everywhere. I'm a nobody, so it doesn't matter. What if someone recognizes you?"
"I heard that Yao Ban is planning to let you speak at next year's graduation ceremony. It's such a wonderful day as your birthday. If you behave inappropriately outside of school, will they disqualify you?"
Her ears were burning, but her mouth was frank as hell, "I...I can't kiss you here."
The wind in late autumn is chilly, curling the fallen leaves in the flower beds into swirls and then scattering them.
The next second after she finished speaking, the wind blowing against her cheek stopped.
Xu Jiqing lowered his shoulders and head in front of her until his light brown eyes were almost level with hers.
"Today is my birthday." He opened his lips.
"Kiss me."
