forever
After receiving the keys to the new house, Xu Xi spent every day looking for people to decorate the house and find furniture. The store she and Xiao Mu opened together was running smoothly.
It was just that when it came to the house, she had no experience and wasn't good at expressing herself, so she took a lot of detours.
When Xu Xi went to pick up Chen Shuning, there was a look of despair on her face.
Chen Shuning got in the car and fastened his seatbelt. Seeing Xu Xi looking exhausted, he asked, "What's wrong? Didn't things go well today?"
Xu Xi sighed. "Hmm, I didn't expect decorating a house would be so complicated."
"Take your time. There's no rush."
Xu Xi looked at her, started the car, and drove out slowly. Thinking about the arrangement on the balcony, he asked Chen Shuning: "By the way, besides planting some jasmine on the balcony, do you want to plant any other plants?"
"I'd like to grow something easy to grow and maintain. Besides that, I want two kittens," Chen Shuning said with a laugh. "Once the house is completely renovated, we'll spend summer nights lying on beanbag chairs, looking at the starry sky, each holding a cat in our arms. It's going to be so happy."
Even as Xu Xiguang listened, she could already picture how blissful that scene would be. She thought of the photo of Chen Shuning playing with a cat in the sunshine when he came to pick her up from work a few days ago. It was so beautiful. Her lips curled up involuntarily.
"good."
Xu Xi glanced at Chen Shuning out of the corner of her eye and asked her, "What do you want to eat tonight? Let's go buy some groceries first."
Chen Shuning thought for a moment. "How about boiled fish? I haven't had it in a while."
Xu Xi smiled and said, "Add another salad. I'll make it."
It’s a bit embarrassing to say that she has learned to cook from Chen Shuning, but so far she has only learned how to make the simplest cold dishes, and the other dishes are ruined as soon as they are made.
After buying the vegetables, Xu Xi passed by a flower shop on the way back and bought a bouquet of roses. Xu Xi carried the vegetables in one hand and held Chen Shuning's hand in the other. Chen Shuning held her hand and held the flowers in the other hand.
When I returned to the doorstep, I saw a familiar figure standing at the door from afar. It was Chen Shuning's sister Chen Shuyao.
Hearing the sound, Chen Shuyao turned her head to look at them.
Xu Xi and Chen Shuning were both stunned. But they soon recovered and walked forward hand in hand, saying hello.
Chen Shuning: "Sister, why are you here?"
Xu Xi followed behind and greeted softly. "Sister."
Chen Shuyao was silent for two seconds, then sighed before speaking. "I'm not busy today, so I came to see how you were doing."
Xu Xi quickly took out the key and opened the door. "Come in and sit down and talk."
The three of them went into the house together. Xu Xi asked Chen Shuning and her sister to sit down and chat, while she went to make tea.
Chen Shuyao sat down and looked at Xu Xi who was busy making tea, her voice soft.
"Do you really plan to live like this for the rest of your life?"
Chen Shuning followed his gaze. "Yeah. I think this is great. I just want this simple life, to be with the one I love. By the way, we've bought a new house and are renovating it now. When we move in, if you have time, come over and have dinner with us."
Chen Shuyao was silent. Sometimes she felt that this was really good. In fact, sometimes she envied her. Her own life was too tiring.
"We'll see if we have time then."
Seeing that she looked a little tired, Chen Shuning asked with concern, "You look very tired. Did you not get enough rest?"
"Yeah, a little. I've been busy with things at home lately. I'm done with them now."
She spoke calmly, as if discussing ordinary matters, about her family. "My brother and sister-in-law are divorced, and Mom and Dad have temporarily handed over the company's affairs to me."
Chen Shuning pursed her lips. She didn't know how to react to this outcome. She had chosen to leave this family, as if she had lost her reason to interfere in family affairs. At most, she could just listen to her sister's stories like she was doing now.
She didn't ask about the family company, but simply asked: "How are Mom and Dad's health recently?"
"It's okay. I was very angry about the matter between my sister-in-law and brother a while ago."
Chen Shuning knew that this was inevitable.
They only talked about some family matters, and Xu Xi came over with tea, and they didn't talk anymore. Chen Shuning wanted her sister to stay here for dinner tonight, but she didn't stay.
This time I came here just to take a look.
Xu Xi looked at the coffee table, where the fruit gift Chen Shuyao had brought her was placed. She then glanced at Chen Shuning, seeing her eyes moist. She was silent for a few seconds, wondering if Chen Shuning was homesick. She sat down close to Chen Shuning, pulled her into a hug, and whispered to her.
"Shuning. If you want to go home and have a look, I'll go back with you."
But unexpectedly, Chen Shuning's answer was beyond her expectations.
Chen Shuning: "No."
"If we go back, there will be more new troubles."
She knew her parents well, and they wouldn't necessarily forgive her if she went back. They'd probably think she was coming back because she had compromised and admitted her mistakes, and they'd think she was going to listen to them. Then they'd arrange all sorts of blind dates for her.
"Well, okay." Xu Xi respected her opinion. She didn't want to talk about the unpleasant things anymore. She changed the subject and said, "Then let's go cook."
"good."
Entering the kitchen, Xu Xi and Chen Shuning were chatting intermittently.
"Does the fish have to be sliced so thinly?"
"Well, thick ones are fine too. But I think this thin one tastes better."
"Ningning, you are really good at knife skills."
"Yeah?"
"yes."
Xu Xi felt warm at heart as she watched Chen Shuning chop the fish and the side dishes for the boiled fish. She seemed to have seen the two of them busy together in the kitchen in the future.
Whether you are renting a house now or moving into a new house in the future, being with the one you love and having three simple meals a day is happiness.
Xu Xi couldn't help but hug Chen Shuning from behind. "Ningning, can we be together forever?"
Chen Shuning's eyes fell on the rings on their hands, and the corners of his mouth curled up. "Okay."
