Chapter 107 Preliminary Understanding
A stranger suddenly came to the house, and Lin Nuan really couldn't sleep anymore.
Especially when I knew that the total of my current savings did not exceed four figures, I lost my sleep even more.
Fortunately, her pajamas were normal-looking. Although a little childish, they were not revealing at all.
Otherwise... just thinking about that scene is terrifying.
Now that things were explained clearly and the room was chosen, there wasn't really much for two strangers who had just met to talk about.
"Well, clean up by yourself. I won't disturb you anymore. I'll go back to my room first."
Turning around, he remembered something and added, "My name is Lin Nuan."
Lin Nuan returned to her room and used her computer to draft a new rental contract. She also thought carefully about some things that needed to be paid attention to when living together.
There was a knock on the door. She knew who it was without thinking. After all, besides her, there was only a new tenant in the house. Lin Nuan responded with a "coming", put down the computer and opened the door.
"What's up?"
"I want to ask if there is a large supermarket nearby. I want to buy some daily necessities."
The landlord of the rental house naturally would not help prepare daily necessities, and many things needed to be purchased. Xiao Jingyan had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place, so he had to ask Lin Nuan for help.
There is a supermarket near the community, but the goods are not very complete. In Xiao Jingyan’s current situation, you need to go to a large supermarket.
No one has lived in the house for a month. Although she had hired a part-time worker to help clean the house every once in a while, the house was kept clean and hygienic. However, there was a real shortage of food and daily necessities. Lin Nuan thought that she needed to go to the supermarket to replenish her supplies, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to have dinner. Thinking about her own wallet that couldn't be any thinner, she decided to feed herself.
Besides, the two of them are now roommates, so it’s better for them to have a harmonious relationship. After all, she doesn’t have the money to pay for the rent for the time being.
Lin Nuan thought about it and decided to go with him. "I also need to buy some things. The supermarkets nearby don't sell a wide variety of items. Wait for me and I'll change my clothes and go with you."
Of course it would be best if someone led the way. Xiao Jingyan nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your help."
Lin Nuan was quite polite and waved her hand, "You're welcome. Wait for me in the living room!"
After saying that, she closed the door, changed her clothes, and simply fixed her still wet hair with a hairpin. The whole process took less than ten minutes, and then she walked out of the bedroom.
She walked into the living room and greeted Xiao Jingyan, "Let's go." She changed her shoes at the shoe cabinet, took the house keys and car keys, and went downstairs together.
After going downstairs, Lin Nuan realized that she had forgotten where she parked the car. After all, she hadn't driven it for a month, and during this month, there were too many memories in her mind.
Fortunately, I had the remote control key. I pressed a few times and found my car quickly based on the sound.
When I walked to the car, I remembered why I had to drive. Gas is quite expensive nowadays, so I should save as much as possible. However, now that it has come to this, I can only be extravagant.
"Where are you from, Mr. Xiao? Is this your first time in North City?"
"No, I studied for my undergraduate and graduate studies here, then passed the doctoral program and went to Haicheng. After graduation, I stayed to work. Now I've been transferred to a company here. I have a lot of classmates and friends here. I even came here to play for a few days last month, so I'm not completely unfamiliar with this place."
Xiao Jingyan was quite talkative. Lin Nuan didn't ask him a single question, but he told her everything.
For a moment, Lin Nuan really didn’t know what to talk to him about, especially after hearing about his academic qualifications. She was just an ordinary undergraduate and couldn’t think of any other topics to talk about.
Xiao Jingyan felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. Although the two of them had just met, they would be living under the same roof in the future, so it would be good for them to get to know each other a little better.
"Ms. Lin, please don't call me Mr. Xiao anymore. It seems too strange. How about you just call me by my name?"
"Okay, then don't call me Miss Lin anymore. Just call me Lin Nuan."
The two of them reached an agreement on how to address each other, and both sides seemed to be more familiar with each other. They both held the idea of living under the same roof in the future and getting along well with each other, so they started chatting in a few words.
Although the conversation was not in-depth and the topics were superficial and meaningless, we all got to know each other's basic situation.
Lin Nuan was originally from North City, and the house was left to her by her parents, so she didn’t say much else.
Apart from the initial information, Xiao Jingyan did not reveal any more information.
However, for two people who have just met, they know a lot about each other.
Fortunately, it was afternoon, not yet time to get off work, and not the evening rush hour, so the journey was particularly smooth. It seemed like the two of us chatted a lot, but in fact it only took us a dozen minutes to get to the supermarket.
Lin Nuan pushed a shopping cart first, and Xiao Jingyan followed behind and pushed one too.
"I'm going to the food section. Daily necessities are on the second floor, and home textiles are on the third floor. To save time, let's go separately. I should be faster. I'll wait for you in the car after I finish shopping."
"Okay, how about we exchange contact information first, or add each other on VX, so that it will be easier to contact each other if we can't find each other later."
As Xiao Jingyan spoke, he took out his cell phone from his pocket.
Lin Nuan didn't act pretentiously. She took out her phone from her pocket and said, "Let me scan you," and opened the scan function.
Xiao Jingyan also cooperated and opened his own QR code. His avatar was very simple, a picture of a city night view, and the name on it was his own name, so he didn't have to change the note.
After Lin Nuan added her, she received the message and sent a smiling emoticon.
The two people added each other as friends and separated at the supermarket entrance.
Lin Nuan had looked inside the refrigerator before coming out. It was completely empty, but there were many things she needed to buy.
Don't buy too many vegetables and fruits. The weather in August is still quite hot. Even if you put them in the refrigerator's fresh-keeping layer, they can only be kept for three or four days at most. After a long time, they will deteriorate, so just buy enough for two days.
While thinking about what to eat in the evening, she also had to consider her wallet. After all, even if she went back to work in the next two days, she would not get her salary until at least a month later, so she had to calculate the remaining money carefully, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to make it through a month.
Besides, she slept for a month before waking up. Before she was discharged from the hospital, the doctor also told her that even after being discharged, she should pay attention to her diet and eat light and easily digestible food.
(I was delayed today by something, and my head still hurts. My dears, please take a day off today. This is the only chapter today. I will make up for it when I have time.)
