house
The next morning, before Xu Xi and Chen Shuning woke up, the real estate agent called.
Xu Xi groggily poked her head out of bed, grabbed the phone from the headboard, and answered it. The real estate agent asked Xu Xi if she wanted to look at houses this morning. The agent had found two good rooftop properties and planned to take her there to see what they were like.
Xu Xi rubbed her eyes, lifted her phone from her ear, and glanced at the time. It was already 10 a.m., and thinking of the intense scene last night, it was no surprise that she was still asleep.
Just thinking about this, Xu Xi's ears felt hot. She carefully pulled the quilt over herself. It was already 10 o'clock, so it was impossible to go to see the house in the morning. She could only make an appointment in the afternoon.
Xu Xi spoke in a low voice. She agreed on a time and place with the real estate agency, then hung up the phone. She turned around and glanced at Chen Shuning, who was still sleeping and hadn't woken up.
She slowly got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When Xu Xi came out of the bathroom, she found that Chen Shuning had woken up and was sitting on the bed looking at her intently.
Xu Xi hadn't adapted yet, so she took a step back with a start, and stood there for two seconds before she slowly spoke:
"Morning, you, you're awake."
"Yeah." Chen Shuning responded lazily, got off the bed, and slowly walked to Xu Xi. He reached out to hug Xu Xi, then gently kissed Xu Xi on the forehead and asked Xu Xi softly.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Xi knew what Chen Shuning was referring to, and her cheeks instantly flushed all the way to her ears. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Chen Shuning, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito.
"No."
Because of her inner embarrassment and nervousness, Xu Xi chose to change the subject to ease the tension. "Do you want to go in and take a shower first?"
"Okay." When Chen Shuning let go of Xu Xi, he pecked her lips again.
Xu Xi casually found a set of clothes she had brought with her, put them on, and went to clean up the leftovers in the living room from last night. After she had packed everything up, she sat on the sofa in the living room and looked around.
As expected, brave people really do have a wife first. I am finally close to my wife. I am still very excited now.
After Chen Shuning finished washing, Xu Xi suggested going downstairs to eat something. It was too late to have breakfast and too early to have lunch at this time. If she went out to buy groceries, she would have to cook lunch on an empty stomach. She was tired after a night of sleep and didn't want to move, nor did she want Chen Shuning to cook.
Xu Xi: "Let's go downstairs and eat something first."
"Um."
"Let's take a rest after dinner. I have an appointment with a real estate agent to look at a house this afternoon. Let's go and take a look together then."
"good."
The two walked to the entrance together. Xu Xi turned her back to Chen Shuning and was about to change her shoes. Suddenly, a pair of hands hugged her from behind. Xu Xi froze for a moment. It was Chen Shuning who was hugging her. Chen Shuning put his arms around Xu Xi's waist from behind and buried his head in Xu Xi's neck from behind. His warm breath sprayed on Xu Xi's skin one by one.
Chen Shuning took a deep breath and exhaled gently. He whispered to Xu Xi, "Xixi, are you sure you want to buy a house? I only have a little over 300,000 yuan in savings."
In order to escape the control of her family, she ran away from home over the years, working part-time while going to school. Occasionally, she got help from her sister, which enabled her to save some money.
Xu Xi looked down at Chen Shuning's fair hands. She couldn't help but hold them with her own, rubbing her head against them. Just thinking about the stupid things Chen Shuning would do before her rebirth due to a breakdown made her feel distressed. Thinking about the pressures she had experienced at home over the years, Xu Xi knew that Chen Shuning must have longed for a warm, understanding home, and she must have wanted to be loved.
It was just right that she loved Chen Shuning, and it was just right that she had enough savings to buy a house. She could give the person she loved the life she wanted, and the rest would come later.
Xu Xi: "Ningning, keep your money first. I have no problem with it."
Chen Shuning let go of her hand, stood in front of Xu Xi, and said seriously: "But I don't want you to pay alone."
Xu Xi blinked. She had thought about paying for the house and having both of their names written on it. Then it would be their home.
Now that Chen Shuning said this, she suddenly realized that love is mutual, and accepting the efforts of others is also a kind of recognition.
So Xu Xi stopped refusing and agreed, "Okay, when the time comes, let's see how much the house costs and then we can discuss how to get it."
Chen Shuning silently raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a gentle smile, and she gently pecked Xu Xi's lips.
"Let's go."
Xu Xi's ears blushed. She quickly changed her shoes and went to have breakfast with Chen Shuning.
While eating breakfast, Xu Xi stared at Chen Shuning quietly, but she was thinking about what to do if she wanted to bring Chen Shuning home to meet her parents tonight. Her parents had said that they had to inform them in advance so that they could prepare at home. However, Xu Xi felt that since her parents cleaned their place every day, there was no need to clean up. It would only be a matter of buying food and entertaining guests.
