Won't
Xu Xi took Chen Shuning to the supermarket, bought some groceries, and strolled around. Xu Xi saw Chen Shuning had picked out a lot of snacks and couldn't help but ask:
“Why did you buy so many snacks?”
Chen Shuning smiled slightly and said to her: "It's not much. Actually, I thought we would watch TV together tonight, so I bought some to eat while watching TV."
As Xu Xi listened, a picture already appeared in her mind: the feeling of a peaceful and quiet life must be very happy.
So, after returning home and cooking dinner, Xu Xi began to look forward to the scene of the two of them snuggling on the sofa with snacks and watching TV together. Chen Shuning was making tea, and Xu Xi stood by and watched, playing with the teapot placed beside her, and casually finding topics to chat.
"How do you feel about your current job? Are you tired?" If she felt tired, she would not stay here too long tonight and go back early so that Chen Shuning could rest early.
Chen Shuning chuckled. "Well, it's okay. Compared to my previous job, this one is a bit more demanding. But that's to be expected. After all, this job pays more than my last one."
Xu Xi sighed silently. The salary for this job was indeed relatively high, but she remembered that her boss had been increasingly exploiting her. Although she received commissions and overtime pay for exceeding her workload, she didn't want Chen Shuning to be like herself before her rebirth, overwhelmed by work and deprived of any personal space, with endless overtime and endless editing. Not only would she have no time for love, but she would also ruin her health, which would be a loss. Her own pre-rebirth experience was a prime example of this: she had lost her life, had no time to spend the money she earned, and neglected her parents and friends.
She looked at Chen Shuning worriedly, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly, "Will you work overtime late in the future?"
She used to work late, sometimes even bringing work home to work all night. She wanted to know if Chen Shuning had the same thoughts, and if so, how should she persuade her or how should she respect her ideas?
When Chen Shuning heard this, she paused. She looked up and realized that Xu Xi's words contained some expectations for love.
"Won't."
Chen Shuning smiled gently as she handed Xu Xi a cup of brewed tea. She then told Xu Xi, "It's okay to occasionally work overtime in my current job, but not often. This was mentioned during the interview. If there's any excess workload, the company can hire another person or find a temporary person to do it."
Xu Xi blinked, realizing that she had never mentioned any of this in her interview before her rebirth. She wasn't good at expressing herself, nor did she know how to refuse. Back then, she was truly a fighter among cattle and horses.
She remembered that she had taken on some external drawings from other companies, so she casually told Chen Shuning about it.
"Actually, I took on some drawings and started drawing at home. I just started today."
Chen Shuning was surprised: "Don't you want to start a business?"
How can I still have time to accept the drawings sent out?
"Starting a business is definitely necessary. I've been looking for houses recently. Actually, I want to find a house first and then settle down stably. I don't have anything else to do in my spare time, so I thought about finding something to do first." Xu Xi pursed her lips after saying this. In fact, she just wanted to live together as soon as possible. In this way, she could see Chen Shuning and be with Chen Shuning every day except during working hours.
Chen Shuning frowned slightly. "Do you want to buy a house first?"
"Yeah." Xu Xi blinked. She didn't give too much explanation, but she never expected that Chen Shuning would continue to question her.
Chen Shuning: "Why?"
She assumed Xu Xi would pursue both house hunting and starting a business simultaneously, or perhaps prioritize starting a business if she was too busy. After all, Xu Xi had been immersed in study and work for years, and this time, she hadn't expected her to prioritize housing.
Xu Xi was stunned by the question. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. If she told Chen Shuning directly that she wanted to live with her as soon as possible, would it seem that she was impatient? She thought about it again and again in her heart, and hesitantly found an excuse that she thought was more reasonable and said:
"My lease is about to expire. If I can find a new place before it expires, I won't renew it."
Chen Shuning looked up. "How long until it expires?"
"Probably more than a month." Xu Xi answered truthfully without thinking too much.
Chen Shuning held the teacup and took a sip of tea. His eyes fell on Xu Xi's face, and his thick and long eyelashes trembled slightly.
She whispered to Xu Xi, "Xixi, even if we find a house in over a month, we can't move in right away. Even if the house has been treated for formaldehyde in advance, it will take time to decorate the new house."
