Although the house was furnished with huanghuali furniture and exuded a sense of simplicity and refinement everywhere, Yi Qingqing always felt that it was not as comfortable as in her own space.
I felt like I was lying in a small room. The surroundings were so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat. Outside, there was only the gloomy moonlight falling on the yard.
There were rooms and high walls between Ayuan and her.
I always feel a little uneasy in my heart.
Living alone in such a big yard, if a thief or murderer climbed over the wall and came in, no one would hear her shouting for help.
After thinking about it for half the night, I finally came up with a plan in my mind.
The next morning, after Yun Guyuan woke up, he saw that it was almost time and estimated that Qingqing should get up, so he went to the corner gate in the northwest corner of the courtyard.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw his girl squatting on the ground, pulling out weeds from time to time, mumbling something incoherently. It seemed that she had been squatting there for quite some time.
"Qingqing?"
Yi Qingqing looked up when she heard the voice.
"What's wrong? Are you not used to sleeping well? Why are you up so early?" Yun Guyuan was a little worried.
I have to go to school to check my test results today. I had made an appointment with her to buy breakfast nearby, so I got up earlier than usual.
"Ayuan, that's when I suddenly thought, isn't it dangerous to put the incense hall at your place? If we live in one house and put things that are not easy for outsiders to see in another house, wouldn't that be safer? Then, we can say to the outside world that we bought a house together. This way, it will be easier to explain the source of our money, and it will be convenient for us to cook together or go to the portable space. Even if outsiders come, they won't find out what's in the other house."
Yi Qingqing made up her mind and blurted out everything she had spent half the night thinking about yesterday.
I spoke very fluently, but I was feeling nervous, hesitant and shy inside, as complicated as a ball of yarn that has been played with by a cat.
This is different from the previous life in the portable space. There is only one courtyard house in the portable space, so it is inevitable to live in one courtyard.
Now they each have their own house and live separately, but she wants him to still live in the same yard with her. She always feels that she is being a little too unreserved.
But there are so many benefits to living in a house!
Moreover, the house is so big that the distance between neighbors living together is farther than the distance between neighbors in some smaller houses, so it is not too close.
This is how she convinced herself yesterday, and she wanted to convince Yuan the same way now, but he insisted on acting from the heart and ending with courtesy. Would he feel that his request was a bit abrupt?
She didn't want to ruin her image in his mind, and suddenly she regretted being so impulsive. She lowered her head and dared not look at him. The result of counting the grass leaves just now was clearly "don't say", so why didn't he listen to the omen and count them again?
As I was struggling, I heard a very fast voice saying, "You're right, I'll go pack my things!"
She looked up blankly, only to see a hurriedly leaving back. After a moment's pause, she suddenly smiled and whispered, "Actually, I'm not in that hurry. I can move in when I come back... and... we haven't discussed how to live yet..."
But that person had already disappeared, so naturally he didn't hear what she said.
Yi Qingqing didn't wait to count the grass leaves this time. She happily spun around in the corner yard with her hands behind her back. It seemed that someone was not as emotional as he said. He must want to live with her too! Hehe!
Yun Guyuan ran back to pack his things. It was very simple to pack up. He just emptied out wherever he went. He knew that he didn't need to spend much time on the decoration, as he wouldn't be able to live here for long!
When he thought about living in the same house with Qingqing, he felt happy in his heart. He was afraid that she would regret it, so it would be better to make it happen as soon as possible.
This time he will decorate his own residence properly, so that Qingqing will not have the heart to drive him away!
Where is the floor plan from yesterday? He needs to find it and plan it carefully!
Yi Qingqing waited for less than ten minutes before she heard some hurried footsteps.
"Qingqing, I've packed it up! You're really thoughtful. I'll install a door in a couple of days and lock it. That way, no one will know that this is our house as well. This is the safest way!"
Yun Guyuan couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
In Yi Qingqing's impression, he was always confident in everything he did, calm and steady, not like a young man. But this was the first time she saw him look happy.
The feeling of being loved was particularly clear. Yi Qingqing no longer worried about leaving a bad impression on him. In front of him, she seemed to be able to do whatever she wanted, because he loved her and could tolerate everything about her.
She's not the only one who's unreserved, he's the same!
But how can a girl admit that she is not reserved? She pretended to be serious and said, "Fortunately, I thought about it more carefully. Otherwise, if someone came to visit, it would be difficult to hide the incense hall."
Yun Guyuan held her hand and praised her, "My Qingqing is so smart! When we get the results later, we will plan how to live. If there are two of us living together, we need to buy more things. I have saved for so long, and now I can use the salary that I have nowhere to spend. We can't be careless about where to live!"
That's not what he said yesterday. Why did he change his mind after just one day?
But Yi Qingqing didn't expose him, "Okay, there's no need to rush this time. We can live in the sleeves now, and move out after everything outside is arranged!"
"Yeah!" Yun Guyuan nodded.
"By the way, this is the key to the front door of my house. I'll give you one." Yi Qingqing took out a bunch of keys and gave one to him.
"Since I'm living with you, you should have half of my place, and I'll give you a copy of my key as well," Yun Guyuan also took out a bunch of keys.
Yi Qingqing did not refuse: "Okay, now these two houses are our common property!"
Yun Guyuan smiled, and Yi Qingqing also smiled.
The early morning glow spread into this corner of the courtyard and fell on the two of them, making it seem as if there was light in their eyes.
The two walked out of No. 45 Luoguxiang hand in hand.
The alley was very quiet, and the two of them occupied a large area. Across the alley was the back wall of another family, and the nearest neighbors were also some distance away.
As we walked out of the alley, the place gradually became lively.
They bought fried dough sticks and soy milk at a nearby state-owned restaurant, had breakfast together, and then went to the nearby bus stop to catch the bus.
Every time she did these ordinary things with him, Yi Qingqing had a sense of certainty and destiny that she and he had been together for a long time, even though they had only been together for a short time.
