after
Xu Xi simply responded to the real estate agent's words.
Finally, she made an appointment with Xu Xi to look at houses this weekend because she wanted to take Chen Shuning with her. After all, they were in a relationship now, and she hoped they could live together in the future. Of course, all of this required Chen Shuning's consent. She would discuss it with Chen Shuning and ask him if he was willing to live together in the future and if he liked the rooftop house.
Xu Xi thought about it and felt a little excited. In fact, no matter what the outcome was, she was really looking forward to it. Even if Chen Shuning didn't want to live together, they would still spend time together occasionally, watching the stars on the rooftop, chatting about their daily lives, sharing their joys and sorrows. She felt that was enough. The rest could come later.
Xu Xi hung up the phone. After chatting with the real estate agent, her nervousness had eased, and she wasn't as excited or nervous as before. She looked intently at Chen Shuning, who was already reading a comic on his tablet. Xu Xi put her phone aside and slowly sat down a little closer.
Chen Shuning saw her hang up the phone and sat over, raising his arm to close the distance between them. Xu Xi was leaning on the sofa next to Chen Shuning, reading a comic. Although she looked like she was reading the comic seriously, Xu Xi was actually still thinking about how to tell Chen Shuning.
Several minutes passed before she spoke softly. "Shunning."
Chen Shuning looked at her. "Yeah. What's wrong?"
Xu Xi blinked and said seriously: "I have something I want to tell you. About our future."
Seeing that she looked serious, Chen Shuning put the tablet aside. Since it was about their future, he listened carefully.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Xu Xi swallowed. She wasn't good at expressing herself, so her words were simple and direct. "I wanted to tell you about buying a house. I've mentioned to you before that I'm looking for a house. Now that we're together, I hope we can live together in the future. Of course, if you're not used to living with someone else right now, we can take our time and not rush into a tight spot. Besides, I haven't found a house yet. I just wanted to tell you in advance and ask for your opinion and what kind of house you like. I plan to buy a house that both you and I like. We can live together so we can take care of each other. What do you think?"
After listening to this, Chen Shuning fell silent. Her eyes drooped slightly, as if something was on her mind, but she didn't show it. She just followed Xu Xi's topic and asked:
"Do you want to have a house of our own and live together in the future?"
"Yeah." Xu Xi explained more bluntly: "I want to see you every day. Are you willing to live with me?"
She didn't know how to use fancy words to express the excitement, nervousness and happiness in her heart. She only knew that she wanted to be with Chen Shuning every day, with the person she loved.
“…”
Chen Shuning pursed her lips and remained silent. She was thinking the same thing.
During the years she had been chasing Xu Xi, she had occasionally fantasized about those beautiful days. She had also thought about what it would be like if they could be together one day. Although she had never thought that they would really be together one day, she still had some fantasies in her heart. It was almost relying on these so-called beautiful fantasies to support her and continue chasing Xu Xi.
If she could live with Xu Xi, she would definitely be happy every day.
But before living together, how should she explain this to her family?
Over the past few years, she has been fighting against her family. They've threatened to cut ties with her, and even her sister, who always stood up for her, had her car taken away last time. She doesn't know how much longer she can hold out. If Xu Xi were with her, knowing that her family was forcing her to do something, would she back down?
She can hold on when she is alone, but can Xu Xi do it? Her family knows that she is with a girl, and they will probably find Xu Xi through some means, and then put pressure on her to make her leave them.
So, although it seems easy for the two of them to be together, they actually have a lot to worry about and face.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Shuning felt that he should let Xu Xi know, so that even if that day really happened, Xu Xi would be mentally prepared.
Chen Shuning said softly, "Xu Xi, I also want to live with you and see you every day. But in fact, it may not be as easy as you think for the two of us to be together, because we are both girls. I don't know how your family views the fact that two girls are together. My family is not that simple. You also met my sister last time. She was very angry when she saw you here. She knew that I like girls. In fact, it's not just her. Everyone in my family knows the girls I like, but they don't understand my love for them. So they arranged a lot of blind dates for me, and because I have always refused to go on blind dates with the opposite sex, I am now afraid to go home."
