Sun Kaicheng habitually ruffled Qian Xiao's short hair: "Calling me that proves we have a good relationship."
Qian Xiao raised her hand and slapped Sun Kaicheng's hand away, then tidied her hair: "I've told you so many times not to hit me, not to hit me. It's all your fault I'm not tall."
In four years, Sun Kaicheng had grown to 1.8 meters tall. This guy was only seventeen, he could still grow taller. He wasn't the skinny, boyish type; he looked a little thin, but she knew he was all muscle and stronger than her.
But what about herself? She grew from 1.6 meters to 1.69 meters, just one centimeter away from 1.7 meters, and it was as if she had stopped growing. For a whole six months, she hadn't grown any taller at all. She was only fifteen years old. Logically, she should still be able to grow. Why had she stopped growing?
However, her figure didn't change much. She didn't seem to gain weight no matter how much she ate; she remained slender and always looked malnourished. In fact, apart from her height, she was quite satisfied with her figure. Maintaining such a slim figure in later generations wouldn't be easy.
Sun Kaicheng wasn't angry: "You're already quite tall. Besides, you're still so young, you have a lot more to grow."
"Really? Then why haven't I gained any weight in the past six months?"
"What's the rush? You're still two or three years away from being an adult. You'll grow to be over 1.7 meters tall by now."
Sun Kaicheng couldn't understand Qian Xiao's mentality. These days, there aren't many tall people. The standard height for men is around 1.7 meters, and for women it's around 1.6 meters. What's the use of Erdan being so tall? He's already standing out from the crowd.
Qian Xiao stopped worrying about her height and teased Sun Kaicheng: "Hey, how many people are pursuing you? Is it because you're good-looking that you've almost become the public enemy of all the men in your factory?"
Sun Kaicheng smiled helplessly: "What nonsense are you talking about? My appearance isn't very appealing these days, and besides, there aren't many female colleagues where I work."
This guy is hopeless when it comes to love. He makes it so obvious. Anyone who knows the two of them knows he likes Erdan. But this guy, he just watches with his eyes lighting up whenever someone shows a hint of affection.
What's that called again? Right—shipping couples.
When it came to him, it was as if he were blind, which made him feel helpless but also somewhat happy. After all, it was better to be a little slow on the uptake; during the year they were apart, he didn't have to worry about Erdan being seduced by someone else.
After spending several years together, Sun Kaicheng's initial vague liking for Erdan gradually turned into love. Erdan was exactly what he was looking for, even his impatient temper was adorable.
Fortunately, because of her young age, she was able to spend four years peacefully in school; otherwise, with Qian Xiao's personality, who knows how many suitors she would have attracted.
University male classmate: Aren't you too optimistic about Qian Xiao? Don't think they didn't see that Qian Xiao is full of violent tendencies. Who would want such a formidable person? They certainly wouldn't dare to.
"By the way, the company is also recruiting for technical positions this year. I've already asked around for you. With your performance, the factory would be begging for such a job."
Qian Xiao's eyes lit up: "Really? That's great! I was worried that no company would hire me. It's a technical position?"
She doesn't really like going to the office. As a common problem for modern people, she has a slight social anxiety. She's really worried that she won't be able to handle the relationships with her colleagues. A technical job is better, as there's less backstabbing and infighting.
Besides, if she could work with Sun Kaicheng, that guy is as cunning as a sieve, she would feel much more at ease. Although she doesn't know how to play mind games, Sun Kaicheng does.
Sun Kaicheng nodded firmly: "Yes, a technical position. Don't you dislike sitting in an office?"
"That's great! By the way, how's the dorm you guys live in?"
This is another problem. Back in her hometown, she always lived alone, and it's the same now that she's in college. If she goes back, she'll have to live with other people, which makes her hesitate.
"It's not very nice, quite noisy. It's not as good as where you live now. Do you want me to go and look for a place to rent?"
"Is it convenient? It would be best if we could buy it. If I go back to work in the future, I definitely won't be moving for many years. It's better to have a stable place to live." I don't know if renting a house is convenient.
"I've got some news. I plan to go take a look tomorrow. If it's suitable, I'll buy it directly. What about your household registration?"
"It's right here in my room. Take it if you need it. And as for the money, take as much as you need. So, are you still staying in the dormitory?"
Actually, it's best for two people to live together after buying a house, so they can look after each other. But things are different now than before. If two people with no family ties live together, wouldn't that be incredibly awkward?
Even if you separate into different rooms, it won't work. As long as you live inside the same gate, there will be endless gossip.
When those years came around, if you really ran into someone with bad intentions, you could report them and they could find fault with you even if you had nothing to show for it.
"I'll see if I can buy two adjacent units, so it'll be easier for us to take care of each other. I'm worried about you living alone outside, and Grandpa Qian and the others won't be either."
"That would be ideal, but it's not easy to get one, is it?" It's possible to buy a house in the next two years, but it will be more troublesome to resell it in a few years.
"It's not easy to find one. I've been asking around for a long time before I got any news. Anyway, there's still time, so there's no rush." He started inquiring about houses after he arrived, and he only recently received news that there aren't many people selling houses right now.
Qian Xiao patted his belly. There was no shortage of food in the space. Over the past few years, he had become quite picky about food. Even the cornbread that he used to think tasted pretty good now tasted a bit rough on his throat.
"I'm hungry, would you like something to eat?"
"Sure, I want to eat your boiled fish." Sun Kaicheng didn't stand on ceremony. His cooking skills weren't as good as Erdan's, and he still preferred Erdan's cooking. It's just that Erdan wouldn't cook unless he was craving it.
"Okay, you go kill the fish, I'll cook the rice first."
The two worked together very well, clearly having been doing so for quite some time; it had probably become a habit. Qian Xiao never found anything strange about it.
After a delicious meal, Qian Xiao felt that even the creaky little bed felt exceptionally comfortable to sleep in today.
It was almost time, so Qian Xiao mailed some of the things he needed to take back home and put the rest into his spatial storage. He didn't even want to leave behind a teacup; it was too difficult to buy anything new these days, everything was a treasure.
Carrying a backpack, Qian Xiao found Teacher Chen.
"Are you getting ready to leave?" He still felt a little regretful that he hadn't kept the little girl with him.
"Yes, I've come to say goodbye and thank you for taking care of me over the past four years."
Teacher Chen waved her hand: "I didn't take care of you much. You are all good children. You take good care of yourselves and work very hard. Go to your workplaces and work hard to achieve something."
