“It’s okay, I think you’ll look great in this!” Bi Qiaoan smiled and stood in front of the fitting room door, holding up her coat. “If you don’t like it…” Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Yanming took the coat, threw it on Bi Qiaoan’s head, and then took the coat from her and put it on.
"How is it? Does it look good?" Shen Yanming didn't leave the fitting room or look in the mirror, because Bi Qiaoan was his mirror.
"Hmm, looks good!" Bi Qiaoan smiled, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes. Shen Yanming was a natural clothes hanger; not only was he handsome, but he also had a great physique. His usual attire made him appear composed and mature, but this jacket today gave him a youthful and energetic vibe.
"Okay, this is it!" Shen Yanming took off his coat to pay, while Bi Qiaoan walked to the store entrance and looked around.
"Let's go home."
"Aren't you buying it?"
"Okay, I'll come again next time."
Shen Yanming pulled Bi Qiaoan towards the elevator. After getting into the car, Shen Yanming didn't rush to drive. Instead, he asked, "Qiaoan, what happened just now?"
Looking into Shen Yanming's worried eyes, Bi Qiaoan pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.
"You can try to trust me. I will believe whatever you say and help you no matter what you do." Shen Yanming's expression was serious and his eyes were firm.
Bi Qiaoan smiled slightly and sighed, "I just saw one of my roommates. I don't want her to see you. I'm afraid she'll start thinking about you."
Shen Yanming knew immediately who Bi Qiaoan was talking about. He was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, I won't leave you. It's no use whoever is thinking about you."
Bi Qiaoan smiled and shook her head, "Brother Yanming, you can't speak too confidently, okay? Wait until you get married and have children..."
Bi Qiaoan became depressed and didn't continue speaking. "By then, I'll be alone again..."
Shen Yanming sensed Bi Qiaoan's emotional change and fell silent. At this moment, Shen Yanming couldn't tell Bi Qiaoan that he wouldn't get married, nor was he prepared to tell Bi Qiaoan that he wanted to marry her.
Shen Yanming patted Bi Qiaoan's head and promised, "I will not leave you."
After saying that, he started the car and drove home.
They remained silent the entire way until they reached the parking lot downstairs in the apartment complex. Before getting out of the car, Shen Yanming said, "If there are people you don't like, try to stay away from them for now. When the time is right, you can deal with them."
“Yes, I know.” Bi Qiaoan nodded with a smile, but in her heart she was thinking that even if she didn’t take action, they wouldn’t have an easy time a year from now, and too many things could happen in that year.
It took Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan three or four trips to move all their belongings into room 1602. The two of them slumped onto the sofa, feeling sore backs, arms, and legs.
Looking up, Bi Qiaoan realized it was already 9:15, so she quickly took off her coat and went to prepare the meal.
If she were alone, Bi Qiaoan would probably just have some instant noodles, but now that there are two of them, and Shen Yanming has been on a plane and shopping all day, Bi Qiaoan really can't bear to make him feel uncomfortable.
"Yanming, why don't you go take a shower first? I'll start cooking." With that, Bi Qiaoan picked out the ingredients for dinner and headed to the kitchen.
Shen Yanming didn't say much. He got up, picked up his newly bought underwear and couple's pajamas, and threw them into the washing machine on the small balcony for a scheduled rinse.
After that, I went to organize the things I bought today. I put the things that needed to be put in the refrigerator in the refrigerator and the things that needed to be put in the cabinet in the cabinet. After I finished organizing, I went to the bathroom to wash the rag and wiped the dining table, coffee table and windowsill clean.
Hearing the washing machine beeping, Shen Yanming went to the small balcony and switched to the dryer. Then he went to the bedroom and took all the sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases off the bed, carrying them to the balcony. He removed not only the sheets from his own bedroom but also those from the guest room. Clean three-piece bedding sets, already packed under the beds, were placed in both rooms.
Shen Yanming took the dried pajamas and underwear to the laundry room to hang them up, delivered Bi Qiaoan's pajamas to the guest room, and then went to the bathroom to get a new toothbrush and bath towel to take a shower.
Twenty minutes later, Shen Yanming walked out of the bathroom wearing his gray pajamas. He stood tall and straight, holding a towel in his right hand to dry his messy, slightly damp short hair. Beneath his two sword-like eyebrows, two dark eyes shone brightly, like stars. His nose was straight and his lips were slightly pursed, with a slight smile at the corners of his mouth. The pink heart on his chest added a touch of cuteness to his handsome face.
Shen Yanming leaned against the kitchen door, watching the girl inside busy at work.
The girl in the kitchen was 168 cm tall, wearing a white chiffon long-sleeved blouse and tight jeans. Her weight of less than 100 pounds made Shen Yanming frown. She was a bit too thin!
Fortunately, the girl's hair was black and smooth, loosely tied into a bun, with her side bangs clipped back with a pearl hair clip, revealing her fair and full forehead. She had willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes with double eyelids, and thick, curled eyelashes that were like feathers that stirred her heart. The girl's cheeks were rosy, and fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose.
Bi Qiaoan is so wonderful!
"All packed up?" Bi Qiaoan felt Shen Yanming's gaze and turned to ask.
"Um."
"The food is almost ready. Please take these two dishes out first."
"good!"
Shen Yanming placed a plate of garlic broccoli and a plate of stir-fried bok choy on the dining table. After checking on Qiao An, he figured it would take a few more minutes. Then he went to the small balcony and threw the sheets and blankets he had changed into the washing machine and set a timer for rinsing.
Once everything was ready and we returned to the restaurant, Bi Qiaoan had already turned off the stove and served the last dish: braised prawns.
Shen Yanming went to the kitchen, filled two bowls with rice, and brought them out. One bowl for each of them, and the two sat facing each other.
"Mmm, it smells so good! Let me try it. It tastes like home!" Shen Yanming couldn't wait to pick up a large shrimp and taste it, giving Bi Qiaoan a very high evaluation.
"Of course! I learned this dish from Aunt Su! Does it taste similar?" Aunt Su was Shen Yanming's mother, who passed away several years ago.
"I like your cooking better!" Shen Yanming didn't love the taste of the food; he loved Bi Qiaoan and the warm and cozy time he spent with her.
"Eat quickly, it's already ten o'clock, dinner is a bit late tonight."
"It's a special situation!" Shen Yanming didn't care about the time of day. As long as he could be with Bi Qiaoan, he didn't care about skipping meals. Only when he was by Bi Qiaoan's side did Shen Yanming feel at ease.
In just ten minutes, the two had almost finished their meal. Bi Qiaoan got up to clear the dishes, but her phone rang.
Shen Yanming let Bi Qiaoan answer the phone while he tidied up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.
"Hey, Qiao An, why aren't you in the dorm? Did you put away the things Xiao Fei gave me?"
"No, I'm home. Why don't you call Xiao Fei and ask?"
"Really? You're not coming back tonight?"
"Um."
Bi Qiaoan didn't want to get involved with these two people, so she glossed over it and told them to handle it themselves.
