After buying a cup of milk tea, the three of them walked towards the bus stop while sipping their drinks.
Because they were going in different directions, the three parted ways.
There weren't many classes on the first day of school, and the homework was just to go back and familiarize myself with the textbook.
Lu Chuqing got off the bus at her stop and bought two packs of instant snail rice noodles at a supermarket outside the residential area before entering the community.
Lu Ying could tolerate her eating durian-flavored food, but snail rice noodles were something a woman simply couldn't stand.
During summer vacation, she discovered that the supermarket sold snail rice noodles, and without saying a word, she bought two packs and cooked them at home. When Lu Ying came in, she thought her toilet had exploded!
Upon learning that she was eating snail rice noodles, even her dearest mother couldn't help but lock her outside on the balcony to slurp the noodles alone, and even said that she would never let her eat them at home again.
Lu Chuqing was rebellious; she insisted on eating with Lu Ying. The woman struggled painfully for a long time, but Lu Chuqing still fed her a mouthful of noodles.
Then I was forced to try it, and slowly I found it quite delicious.
But she didn't accept it immediately, and was told to eat less of these fast foods.
It had been a while since she'd had it, and Lu Chuqing was craving it again.
When she got home, she changed into slippers and headed to the kitchen, just in time to see two adults jump away instantly.
"..."
The words she was about to say hello were instantly stuck in her throat. She put the snail rice noodles into the storage cabinet next to her and dragged her feet upstairs.
"I'm going upstairs first, you guys continue."
Lu Ying and Xi Jun blushed so much they couldn't speak.
Although it is already autumn, the summer heat has not yet dissipated.
After squeezing onto the bus on her way back, Lu Chuqing was sweating profusely. She threw her schoolbag on the small sofa at the bottom of the stairs, unbuttoned the top two buttons of her collar, and headed to the bathroom.
The upstairs area only occupies half the area of the downstairs area, and the two rooms are one on the larger side and the other on the smaller side.
The larger room faces the sun and is a bedroom; the smaller room is located further inside and can be used as a children's playroom.
The bathroom is sandwiched between the two rooms. It is slightly larger than the bathroom downstairs and also has a bathtub.
A small space was left directly opposite the stairs, leading to the balcony. Since Lu Chuqing moved upstairs, this space was converted into her small art studio.
The storage shelves against the wall of her room were filled with art supplies and paints, and on the top shelf were several of her paintings.
A small single sofa was placed against the opposite wall, facing the stairs, with a small round table in the middle. An easel was placed on the balcony, where the light was excellent, and there was a painting she had finished sketching on it.
She wasn't upset about losing her original room because of Xi Jun's arrival; on the contrary, she felt quite comfortable living upstairs alone.
The entire second floor is her personal space, and she can decorate it however she wants.
Lu Ying and Xi Jun were busy dating, so it was impossible for them to come upstairs and disturb her.
So she never imagined that one day she would meet a handsome guy in the bathroom who had just finished showering, especially since she had just taken off her short-sleeved shirt.
That guy is really handsome.
He's very tall and has long legs.
Her skin is so white, her waist is so slim, and her muscle definition is so prominent.
She was wearing black flats and was putting a white short-sleeved shirt over her head.
Her wet hair flowed back, water slid from her forehead to her chin, gathered there, and then dripped down.
The tiny water droplets seemed to fall into Lu Chuqing's heart.
She stared at it for a long time, completely forgetting that she had just taken off her short-sleeved shirt, and hadn't even had time to pull it out of her arms.
Lu Ying, who was downstairs, suddenly remembered that Xi Qingxu was taking a shower upstairs. She came out of the kitchen and called upstairs, "Qingqing, Qingxu is taking a shower upstairs. If you need to use the bathroom, come downstairs!"
Lu Chuqing snapped back to reality, realizing she wasn't dressed yet, and hurriedly put her school uniform short-sleeved shirt on.
Covering her mouth and pretending to be in her room, she mumbled, "Okay, Mom, I'm organizing my textbooks in my room!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ying said nothing more, but reminded her to come down for dinner.
After Lu Chuqing agreed, she turned around and looked at the bathroom door, which was not closed. The boy had already put on his pants.
"You must be Xi Qingxu," she said first.
Xi Qingxu paused almost imperceptibly in the towel he was holding, then picked it up and used it to wipe his head.
"Um."
Oh? You're quite aloof!
Lu Chuqing glanced at him twice, and the more she looked, the more handsome she thought he was.
Pshaw... This isn't the time to talk about that.
She walked to the bathroom door and leaned against it, preemptively saying, "What happened just now isn't my fault, I'm a victim too. If anyone's to blame, it's you. You didn't close the door when you showered, and you saw me naked too."
Even though she was wearing a tank top underneath.
The school uniform short-sleeved shirt was a bit see-through, so she had no choice but to wear a tank top instead.
Xi Qingxu paused in drying her hair, then hummed in agreement, "It's my fault."
He did close the door; the second-floor bathroom was larger and had a wet and dry separation design, with another door in the shower area.
He closed the outer door but didn't lock it, but the door to the shower was locked.
Because no one lived on the second floor before, the bathroom wasn't specially decorated, and there wasn't even a place to put clothes in the shower area.
Xi Qingxu didn't think much of it and put the clothes directly on the washing machine in the dry area. But just as she was getting dressed, Lu Chuqing turned the doorknob and came in.
Unexpectedly, the person reacted so coldly, and Lu Chuqing didn't know what to say.
If we really have to compare, Xi Qingxu was seen by her more often.
Although she had known of him for a while, this was the first time she had met him. Since they weren't familiar with each other, she shut her mouth, turned around, and left.
Seeing that no one was at the door, Xi Qingxu's mind went blank.
He hadn't initially planned to move in.
He knew that Xi Jun was not his biological father. When he was younger, he used to call him uncle, but after that, he rarely spoke to him.
Xi Jun and Lu Ying got together. His old neighborhood had poor security and living conditions, so it was only natural for him to move to Lu Ying's place.
