After Deng Fangping returned to her hometown, Shulan moved her belongings out of her house and moved in with Yan Hongzhe. At their age, it was impossible for them to date for three to five years before getting married like young people do; a quick and decisive marriage suited their age.
Shulan has a lot of clothes. Yan Hongzhe felt that the house had become crowded with one more person. A few years ago, Chu Yu asked him to buy a house, but Yan Hongzhe didn't take it seriously at all. But now Yan Hongzhe felt that having a big house was the right decision.
The two of them need at least a three-room apartment. Shulan will use one room as a walk-in closet, and Yan Hongzhe will use one room as a study, so that they won't disturb each other. If it could be a little bigger, it would be even better.
In the past two years, most of the houses built in Beijing have been small apartments. The real estate market is not particularly good. Only houses built by large real estate developers like Huachu Future are easy to sell. It is normal for houses built by small real estate developers to take one or two years to sell.
That's just how the market works, it varies from year to year. However, Huachu Future is building a large-scale residential project, which includes duplex units. If Yan Hongzhe wants one, he can simply ask Chu Yu to reserve one for him.
Yan Hongzhe was planning to buy a house and get married. He told Shulan about it, and Shulan hugged his waist and said coquettishly, "Are you really going to marry me? Aren't you afraid I'll run away with you!"
Yan Hongzhe smiled and kissed her on the tip of her nose. He had never known the joy of having a girlfriend before, but now that he had tasted it, he was like a monk who had tasted meat, and he was unwilling to let go.
"I'm willing to be tricked by you, okay? Let's go back and look at houses, and I'll ask Chu Yu to put in a good word for me and reserve a house with a good orientation and a good floor."
Shulan felt a little uncomfortable. She and Yan Hongzhe hadn't been together long, but things had progressed so quickly. They were not only sleeping together, but also planning to buy a house and get married. She felt that things were moving too fast and it was a little unreal.
"I'm afraid Chu Yu will laugh at me," Shu Lan said, sounding a little aggrieved.
Yan Hongzhe laughed and said, "There's nothing we can do but let her laugh. It won't hurt if she laughs. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have met. Speaking of which, Chu Yu has a good eye for people. We became a couple on our first introduction."
Shu Lan smiled and sat in Yan Hongzhe's lap. Yan Hongzhe held her while they read, but as they read, they started to get a little inappropriate. Yan Hongzhe's hands became restless, and Shu Lan bit her lip, struggling to hold back. Neither of them could concentrate on their reading anymore; their minds were already wandering to other things. Before long, they rolled onto the bed.
Shu Lan found Yan Hongzhe's techniques quite appealing. He was a quick learner; if he didn't do well this time, he would improve next time. He always addressed Shu Lan's needs, so she didn't need to suppress or hold back. Yan Hongzhe had studied abroad, so he was quite open in bed, and he hoped Shu Lan could enjoy it.
The two were a perfect match.
Undoubtedly, couples don't necessarily need to discuss literature, history, and philosophy to have common topics. Shulan grew a few flowers at Yan Hongzhe's place. If it weren't for Shulan, Yan Hongzhe would never have known that there were so many techniques involved in growing flowers.
Shulan also keeps a cat.
Yan Hongzhe didn't know much about cats, but after having Shulan's cat, he felt that the cat was like a child in the family. Every time he saw the cat lying lazily in the sun, he would think of his childhood.
At that time, Yan Hongzhe was the youngest child in the family. When he got tired of reading, he would lie on his grandmother's stall to bask in the sun. He was always lazy and casual, like a kitten. His grandmother would come over and stroke his cheek. Whenever this happened, Yan Hongzhe would imagine himself as a small animal.
Yan Hongzhe learned how to raise cats. When Shulan wasn't around, Yan Hongzhe would feed the cats for her. Yan Hongzhe fed them scientifically and didn't spoil them. The cats were actually healthier with him than with Shulan.
As the cat grew closer to Yan Hongzhe, Shulan couldn't help but sigh, "Having a cat at home is such a blessing." The little cat would often rub against her feet and snuggle up to sleep beside her. Before, when Shulan was cooking alone, she found the cat annoying and couldn't take care of it. But now that Yan Hongzhe was around, the cat would rub against him whenever she was busy.
Having one more person means having one more companion.
Shulan and Yan Hongzhe have stopped living together.
They didn't feel any friction in their lives. They were mature enough, financially independent, and had careers they enjoyed. Occasionally, Shulan would make clothes at home with her sewing machine. The shirts she made for Yan Hongzhe were particularly beautiful, which surprised him.
So this is how a garment is made.
They have money and ability; they can solve anything with money.
Yan Hongzhe didn't think Shulan's family was worse than his. Meeting at their age was the best choice. They were very happy living together, much happier than living alone.
The two of them stayed home every day watching DVDs, occasionally watching some erotic films. After watching the films, they would roll around in bed together, living a blissful life.
When Deng Fangping returned, she found that Shulan's belongings were all gone. She assumed that Shulan had moved out, but after inquiring, she learned that Shulan had moved in with her boyfriend.
Deng Fangping was extremely worried and immediately called Shu Hui back. "This child has a poor eye. Every man she sets her sights on is no good. It was one thing for them to have minor flings before, but this time it's gotten out of hand. If this man is no good, and they live together, how will Shu Lan live her life?"
Shu Hui also felt distressed, "This child has been living with her boyfriend since they started dating. Could she have been deceived by him?"
"That's what I'm afraid of! No matter how anxious we are, we can't just grab anyone off the street, can we? We have to find someone decent, someone we can take out in public, right?"
Deng Fangping felt that Shu Hui's two sons-in-law were both outstanding; they could attract attention just by standing outside.
