Gu Rongqi patiently repeated for the third time, "Do you want to move in with me?"
Cheng Qicai tugged at her clothes and thought seriously for a while, finding the question somewhat difficult to answer.
Finally, he came up with an excuse that wasn't really an excuse: "I have a lot of stuff at home..."
“It’s alright, I can help you move. There’s a room here that was originally reserved for you,” Gu Rongqi said, stroking her head and hair gently from top to bottom. “Or, you can decorate the house however you like.”
Perhaps it was because Gu Rongqi's touch on her hair was too gentle that her mind hadn't even had time to think before her head nodded in agreement.
Gu Rongqi, whose wish had been fulfilled, smiled and kissed Cheng Qicai, then continued to stroke her hair.
"Then go to sleep, goodnight."
Like putting a child to sleep.
Exhausted from a long day, Cheng Qicai drifted off to sleep amidst Gu Rongqi's gentle, rhythmic movements.
The next day, as soon as Cheng Qicai opened her eyes, she saw Gu Rongqi's strikingly handsome face, a face that always brought a look of smug delight to Cheng Qicai no matter how many times she opened her eyes.
"Good morning, Qicai!" Gu Rongqi greeted her.
"morning."
Gu Rongqi affectionately kissed her on the cheek and asked, "Do you remember what happened last night?"
What happened last night?
Cheng Qicai had just woken up and was still a little dazed. After a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and asked, "You did that on purpose?"
She was 100% certain that Gu Rongqi had deliberately chosen the moment when her willpower was at its weakest to ask the question.
Although she was now sober and didn't feel any regret, Gu Rongqi's little trick still made her somewhat...unhappy.
"No, I just chose a time when you were most honest."
Is this the art of language?
Seeing Gu Rongqi staring intently at her, Cheng Qicai threw off the covers and got out of bed.
She felt that they needed a little cold war for a while.
Gu Rongqi brought out the breakfast he had prepared. He looked at Cheng Qicai, his eyes half-closed, and sincerely apologized to her, "I'm sorry, I was in too much of a hurry. If you don't want it, I'll do it next time..."
Cheng Qicai inexplicably saw pity on his face, and her heart softened, causing her to break down her feigned indifference.
She poked at the heart-shaped fried egg on her plate, pouting, and said, "I didn't say I disagreed! Come help me move my things later."
"good."
Gu Rongqi's voice was low, but in contrast, his eyes were filled with a indulgent smile as he looked at Cheng Qicai.
However, Cheng Qicai had her head down, so she naturally missed the expression on his face at that moment.
After discussing it, Cheng Qicai also sent a message to the landlord to tell him that she was moving.
The landlord was very kind; she just told me to let her know when I was done moving in, and she would come over and get the keys.
Cheng Qicai gets a headache just looking at all the stuff in her house. The joy of buying things back then is now replaced by the pain of moving them around.
Fortunately, Gu Rongqi came to help, otherwise Cheng Qicai would have really regretted moving.
Cheng Qicai tidied her room, while Gu Rongqi helped her tidy the living room.
It took two days to pack all her belongings, and she ended up using more than twenty cardboard boxes. Only after Cheng Qicai had moved all her things out did she finally hand over the apartment to the landlord and terminate the lease.
Cheng Qicai returned to Gu Rongqi's home—no, it can now be said to be her and Gu Rongqi's home—or simply their home.
