Today's meal was probably the most lively meal Xu Lian had eaten at Xiang Changkong's house. Not only did Xiang Nuan talk more than usual, but Weng Shuli, who had never spoken before, also echoed a few words.
After the meal, Xiang Nuan took the initiative to run to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Weng Shuli went back to the room to sleep as usual, and Xiang Changkong and Xu Lian were left alone in the living room.
Xiang Changkong picked up the orange again and asked Xu Lian, "Do you want to eat it now?"
Xu Lian glanced at the orange in his hand, it was yellow and orange, it should be quite sweet. She responded, and Xiang Zhangkong sipped and smiled, and began to help her peel the oranges. Xu Lian, the knife worker who cooks for Changkong, has already seen it before, and peeling oranges is even easier for him. The orange peel was elongated little by little, and finally the knife was perfectly closed, and the sweet smell of oranges soon appeared in the air.
Xiang Changkong peeled two at a time, placed them in the fruit bowl on the coffee table, and brought them to Xu Lian.
Xu Lian glanced at it, picked up a small portion and tasted it, and it was as sweet as she imagined.
After eating the oranges, she wiped her hands with a tissue and said to Chang Kong, "I want to go back to the store, so I'll go first."
Xiang Changkong didn't expect her to leave so soon, so he was stunned subconsciously: "Will you not sit for a while?"
"No, it took a while to go abroad before, and the list in hand has not been completed." Xu Lian stood up, picked up her bag and slung it over her shoulder. Xiang Changkong also stood up with her, pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll take you down."
"Um."
The two walked out together, and when they passed the kitchen, Xiang Nuan glanced at them sideways, and then asked with a smirk, "Brother, are you going out with Sister Xu Lian?"
Xiang Changkong changed his shoes and nodded: "Well, I'll take her down."
"Oh, okay!" Xiang Nuan hasn't forgotten that after he sent Xu Lian back last time, he hasn't come back until the next day!
Xiang Changkong knew what she was thinking, so he just glared at her, opened the door a little embarrassedly, turned around and said to Xu Lian, "Let's go."
The two of them seemed to have walked through this narrow corridor many times. Xu Lian never spoke, and Xiang Zhangkong was thinking hard about finding something interesting. Before she could figure it out, Xu Lian, who was walking beside her, suddenly wobbled. Xiang Zhangkong was startled, and she quickly supported her: "Are you alright?"
He put his hands on her waist and looked down at her, breathing close at hand.
Xu Lian felt that the place he was holding was hot, and quickly stood up straight: "It's alright, I accidentally bruised."
He let go of Xiang Zhangkong, and his expression was a little uncomfortable: "Well... the heels of your shoes are too high, so be careful when walking."
"Um."
After this little episode, the two continued to walk downstairs in silence, but Xu Lian always felt that she heard the heartbeat along the way, and she didn't know who it was.
After Xu Lian got into the car, Xiang Changkong stood outside, watching her fasten her seat belt, raised her hand and tapped on her window lightly. Xu Lian heard the sound, lowered the car window, and looked up at him: "Is there anything else?"
Xiang Changkong smiled at her and said, "Tomorrow, I will still bring you meals."
"… Um."
"Then you drive carefully, and pay attention to rest when you work."
"Understood." Xu Lian adjusted the position of the seat belt, and deliberately did not look at Changkong, "Don't delay your review."
The smile on Xiang Changkong's face deepened, and he nodded to her: "Well, I read books every day."
"That's good, I'll go first." After Xu Lian finished speaking, she closed the car window again and drove the car away from the basketball court.
Leaving the gate of the yard, Xu Lian exhaled softly. I don't know if it's been a long time since I haven't had anything with Xiang Changkong... The physical contact, he just put his arms around his waist, it actually made her feel a little weak. He leaned against the window to talk to himself, his breath and the wind falling on his face, making her heart palpitate again.
When she was studying, her classmates always said she was cold, and Wei Yichen also said that she was definitely cold...
They are all wrong about themselves! !
Xiang Changkong had been standing on the basketball court until Xu Lian's car could not be seen, and then he returned upstairs. Xiang Nuan was very surprised when he saw him leaving and returning: "Brother? Did you forget to take something?"
"..." Xiang Changkong rubbed her head and put on his slippers again, "I said I was taking her downstairs."
"… so what?"
"I'll be back when she leaves."
"..." Xiang Nuan held back for a long time, but he finally didn't hold back, "Brother, are you okay?"
Xiang Changkong: "..."
Seeing his expression, Xiang Nuan actively encouraged him: "It doesn't matter, there are still opportunities in the future! Come on!"
Xiang Changkong: "..."
Although she caught him kissing Xu Lian last time, Xiang Changkong was sure that they hadn't taught her these things.
"After washing the dishes, come to me with the papers from the weekly test." Xiang Changkong dropped this sentence and went back to his room.
Xiang Nuan: "… "
For the next week, Xiang Zhangkong still went to Xu Lian's store every day to give her a loving lunch. On Friday, I originally wanted to invite her to come home for dinner, but suddenly received a call from the landlord.
The landlord said on the phone that they received news that the old house in Rongcheng was about to be demolished, and the house could no longer be rented out, so they should find another house as soon as possible.
The rental contract they signed with the landlord has not yet expired. The landlord said that they would pay the rent to them. Xiang Changkong did not want to embarrass others, so he agreed. When I came home that day, as expected, the neighbors were talking about the demolition. Aunt Liu next door stopped him when he saw him coming back and asked him if he knew about it.
He nodded to Zhang Kong and told her that the landlord had told him that he would move out when he found a new house. The neighbor Xiao Liu had a good impression of him and Xiang Nuan, so he took the initiative to help them pay attention to suitable housing. Thank you to Changkong, open the door and go home.
Weng Shuli also heard some troubles, and as soon as Xiang Changkong came back, she inquired about it.
Xiang Changkong said, "Mom, don't worry about this, I will find the house again."
When he said that, Weng Shuli didn't ask any more. Anyway, there should be a lot of rental houses.
There are indeed many listings for rental houses, but Xiang Changkong has looked at several of them and is not particularly satisfied. Either the rent is too expensive, or it is too far away. He didn't see any results, but Xu Lian took the initiative to send him a message.
Xu Lian: Are you reading
This is the first time Xu Lian took the initiative to send a message since he broke up last time. These simple four words also swept away the haze in Xiang Changkong's heart.
Xiang Changkong: We are looking at the house. The place we live in is about to be demolished. We need to find a new house.
Xu Lian: Are you going to tear it down? Did you find the right one
Xiang Changkong: Not yet, let’s look for it slowly. The landlord said that we can move in before the end of this month.
Xu Lian thought about it with her phone, and replied, "Well, you go to the book and I'll help you find it."
Xiang Changkong smiled, Xu Lian was really afraid that he would not read. In fact, what he told her was that the postgraduate entrance examination questions were very simple to him, and it was not just casual words.
But he was still very obedient: "Okay, then I'll trouble you. ^_^"
Xu Lian raised her brows, Xiang Changkong now even sent emojis.
She quit WeChat, turned on her computer and boarded a rental network.
She had never rented a house before, and it was the first time she browsed this type of website. The various listings on the page started to cause headaches after a while. She thought about it for a while and narrowed it down to the neighborhood where she lived.
She really found one, and it was still in the same community as her.
She dialed the number left on the website and chatted with the landlord.
Before Xiang Changkong went to bed, he received another message from Xu Lian: "The house has been found, in the central garden."
Xiang Changkong delivers food in the area of Xingguang Park, and he is very familiar with the real estate here, not to mention, this is the community where Xu Lian lives.
Xiang Changkong: Where do you live
Xu Lian: Yes, Building 6, 2102
Building No. 6, 2012, looking at these numbers to Zhangkong, the location of this room has been locked in his head. Building No. 6 is a two-bedroom and one-living room type. It is different from the small-slab-style bungalow in No. 8 where Xu Lian lives. It is a high-rise elevator apartment with a total height of 31 floors and four households with two elevators. The location of Building 6 is not the best in the community, but it is not facing the street, and there is a pavilion on the front.
Xiang Changkong: Your neighborhood will be expensive, right
Xu Lian: I talked to the landlord, and the price is alright, not asking for random prices. His house is still well-decorated, and the appliances are complete.
Xu Lian: And it's also close to me, so it will be very convenient to take care of your mother in the future
She thought about it, and moving out to Changkong in the future, Aunt Weng would be uneasy if she lived alone. If she lived in a community, she would be able to take care of anything.
Xiang Changkong: Is this automatically brought in after I live with you
Xu Lian: "…"
Isn't he IQ very high, haven't he even heard of "see through but not say through"
She was still embarrassed, and called Zhangkong directly. Xu Lian listened to the phone ringing for a while before picking it up: "What's the matter?"
Xiang Changkong's voice with a light smile came from the receiver, which was unexpectedly pleasant: "It's nothing, I just want to hear your voice suddenly."
Xu Lian felt that her ears were starting to heat, and she pretended not to hear it and changed the topic: "The landlord said that you can go to see the room at any time. If you like it, you don't have to worry about the rent. I can help you share part of it."
The other end of the phone was quiet for a while, and then there was a sigh from Xiang Changkong: "Xu Lian, are you really planning to take care of me?"
Xu Lian said: "I said, I am investing in the aviation business of the motherland. You will have to repay me in the future."
Xiang Changkong laughed twice, but without speaking, Xu Lian asked again, "Are you going to come to see the room?"
"Okay, tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, then I'll talk to the landlord."
After the matter was finalized, the two became quiet at the same time. When Xu Lian wanted to find a chance to hang up the phone, Xiang Changkong's voice came over again, softly like a murmur: "Xu Lian, I really want to kiss you now, I really want to."
Xu Lian's hand holding the phone subconsciously tightened, and even the corners of her mouth tensed: "Don't think you can be a hooligan through the phone, I haven't forgiven you yet."
After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone quickly.
Her heart beat fast, and every word Xiang Changkong said just now seemed to be kissing her on the body.
