Cheng Nanqiao came back from the kitchen with a bowl of noodles with an egg on it.
"There are no other vegetables at home, so I can only make some simple noodles."
Cheng Nanqiao explained a little embarrassedly.
Chen Fan smiled and thought, since it has come to this, he might as well stay here until his body has fully recovered before leaving.
"Thanks."
Chen Fan took the chopsticks, tasted it, and praised it.
“It tastes good.”
Cheng Nanqiao smiled shyly and lowered his head to continue eating his salad.
As if feeling that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Chen Fan took the initiative to start a conversation.
"Have you been living here since graduation?"
Cheng Nanqiao quickly sat up straight, "Yes."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. This is not the company, there's no need to be so serious."
"It's just a casual chat."
Only then did Cheng Nanqiao breathe a sigh of relief.
"The salary the group offers you should be enough to rent a nice apartment, right? Why are you still sharing a house with someone in this old and run-down area?"
Cheng Nanqiao lowered his head and whispered, "I...I'm from the countryside. I have a younger brother who needs to go to school. I...I give half of my salary to my mother every month."
"It's not easy for a rural family to support a university student, so I should share some of the burden. But..."
"You can't let this make your life difficult."
Cheng Nanqiao quickly explained: "No. I always leave enough living expenses every month."
"Besides, the person I'm rooming with is from college, and we were good friends in college."
"If two people share the rent, they can still save some rent."
Chen Fan nodded and glanced at the house.
"How much is the monthly rent?"
"뀖百五."
Chen Fan pondered and said, "I remember that the group has employee benefits. I can apply for housing subsidies, right?"
Cheng Nanqiao quickly explained: "Well... you need to become a regular employee for a while before you can apply, and you haven't been a regular employee for a while yet."
Chen Fan nodded to show that he understood.
After that, neither of them spoke and focused on eating their own food.
After all this trouble, Chen Fan was indeed exhausted.
He ate up a bowl of ordinary scallion noodles.
Cheng Nanqiao was somewhat happy.
"Boss, can you have another bowl?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "One bowl is just right. If you eat more, you will be too full."
"I didn't expect you to be quite good at cooking."
Cheng Nanqiao smiled shyly: "I've been cooking at home since I was a kid."
“When I live with friends, I always cook whenever I have time.”
Chen Fan nodded: "I am also from the countryside. It is not easy for rural people to come here. Work hard."
"Um."
Cheng Nanqiao reached out and took the dishes and chopsticks in front of Chen Fan, stood up and went into the kitchen.
Chen Fan asked curiously, "Are you usually home alone after get off work?"
"Yeah. My roommate has a boyfriend. Usually he goes out on a date after get off work, so he's usually alone at home."
"You don't have a boyfriend?"
Cheng Nanqiao was a little shy, "No."
"Didn't you talk during college?"
"I talked about... I talked about one."
Chen Fan made small talk: "Why couldn't you hold on?"
"He was found to be cheating on me, and they broke up."
Chen Fan smiled somewhat awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, I seem to be a bit of a gossip."
Cheng Nanqiao came out from the kitchen and said with a smile, "It's okay. I'm used to being alone."
"Um..." Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, "What happened tonight must be kept secret for you."
Cheng Nanqiao nodded quickly.
"Boss, don't let me go. I will never tell you that I'm going there."
Chen Fan nodded, took out his phone, opened the battery and checked it.
I was just taking a shower and my phone got soaked in water. Now it can't be turned on.
Cheng Nanqiao explained: "Boss, I'm afraid it will take a while for the clothes to dry..."
"You...if you don't mind, you can stay in 놖's room tonight. 놖...놖 can stay in my friend's bedroom. She won't be back tonight."
After saying this, Cheng Nanqiao suddenly felt a little regretful.
These words seemed to be conveying another meaning to Chen Fan.
For a moment, her face turned red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look Chen Fan in the eye.
Chen Fan didn't think much about it.
"Do you have a hair dryer at home? My phone won't turn on."
"Yes, yes. In the house."
So Chen Fan followed the other person into the bedroom.
Cheng Nanqiao found a hair dryer and gave it to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan explained: "놖 Dry the phone, 늀 I'll leave in a while."
"Ah? The clothes are not dry yet?"
Cheng Nanqiao whispered: "If someone sees us when we go..."
Chen Fan looked down at his basketball uniform and said with a smile, "It's okay. If someone sees me, I'll just say I went to play basketball."
After hearing what Chen Fan said, Cheng Nanqiao felt reluctant to continue trying to keep him.
"Then...then you go ahead and do your thing. Go...go clean the bathroom."
A person came to the living room, Cheng Nanqiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she was almost the same age as Chen Fan, she was still nervous and a little overwhelmed in front of him.
In order to avoid wild thoughts, I can only find something to keep myself busy.
Chen Fan used a hair dryer to dry the phone and battery, then installed them and tried it out.
I pressed the power button several times, but nothing happened.
This phone is totally broken.
He shook his head and put away his phone helplessly. He could only find time to buy a new one tomorrow.
Standing up and putting the hair dryer back on the table next to him, Chen Fan was about to say goodbye.
Suddenly, there was a sound of a door opening in the living room.
"Qiao Qiao, you're back."
A woman's voice rang out in the living room.
Chen Fan's expression was slightly stunned, and he immediately realized that Cheng Nanqiao's roommate had returned.
Looking down at the clothes on his body, Chen Fan smiled bitterly.
What happened today was embarrassing.
Cheng Nanqiao in the living room was also embarrassed.
At this moment, he was looking at his friend with a dull look on his face.
"You...why are you back?"
"How come you can't come back? What's that expression on your face?"
My roommate Li Meijiao was looking at Cheng Nanqiao with a mixture of laughter and tears.
"You seem shocked to be back."
"No, it's not."
Cheng Nanqiao glanced towards the bedroom nervously.
"Didn't you say you were with your boyfriend tonight and wouldn't come?"
"Fuck, don't mention it."
Li Meijiao has a carefree personality and swears as soon as she opens her mouth.
"We had dinner, watched a movie, and booked a hotel, but my period came early."
"Seeing that guy was so depressed, I didn't bother to pay attention to him and came back alone."
Cheng Nanqiao panicked and wanted to cover his friend's mouth.
"You...you should pay attention to your image."
"Why? There's no one else in the house, what are you afraid of!"
"By the way, do you want to eat strawberries? It's not easy to buy strawberries in this weather. They're so expensive."
"놖 said 놖 wanted to eat strawberries, but he was stingy and didn't want to spend money."
Li Meijiao lay down comfortably on the sofa.
"Wash the strawberries later and we'll eat them together."
"By the way, did you go to the yoga studio to exercise today?"
“Yes.”
"You're in such great shape, there's no need to go to the club, right?"
Li Meijiao smiled and joked: "Tell me the truth, do you have any improper thoughts about your boss? Do you want to get a good body and take him down?"
Cheng Nanqiao's face immediately turned red. "You, what nonsense are you talking about! I didn't say that."
After saying this, he quickly glanced at the bedroom, fearing that someone might hear him.
"Oh, you're blushing."
"It seems like I was really guessed."
Li Meijiao laughed heartily.
"Qiao Qiao, to be honest, there is absolutely no need for you to exercise."
"You have such a body and such breasts. You should dress sexier when you are young, with a shorter skirt and a lower neckline."
"Believe me, if you don't do it three times, your boss will definitely be taken down by you!"
