Another reason for choosing this place is that there happens to be an unoccupied paid parking space downstairs in the community, which is very rare in the area around the university where the residential density is extremely high.
After paying the deposit and temporarily signing a one-year contract, Qin Yang went home and drove the Jaguar he parked at home.
On weekends, the two drove to IKEA to pick out new curtains, shower curtains, toiletries, balcony bonsai, pots and pans...
"Buying so many kitchen utensils, do you want to cook for yourself?" He Jin flipped through the full woven bags, a little hesitant about the practicability of these things.
Qin Yang raised his eyebrows: "I bought it for you, you make it for me."
He Jin is a person who believes in "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen". He raised his hand and said, "Let me declare first that I don't know how to cook. At most, I can only cook rice with a rice cooker!"
Qin Yang embraced his shoulders, twisted his neck and leaned closer, leaning against He Jin's ear, and said softly in a deep voice: "University bully, if you don't know how to do it, you can learn it. You are so smart, I don't believe you can learn it." Won't."
He Jin was frightened by his sudden approach, and Qin Yang quickly backed away, but the ambiguous smell lingering around him did not dissipate for a long time. All the people coming and going around him were young office workers and young couples preparing to start a new home. This kind of warm atmosphere also made He Jin feel an indescribable sense of shyness.
The two walked around the mall for a long time, and He Jin found that in some respects, he and Qin Yang's spending power and values were quite different. For example, chairs, He Jin thought they were practical, but Qin Yang wanted them to be beautiful. , and comfortable, he picked two "Avica" leather swivel chairs, each for 5,000, and the combined price was 10,000, which shocked He Jin deeply.
But he also figured it out, without Qin Yang, he would not be able to earn the 400,000 prize money from the game competition, so even if all the money was spent on understanding Qin Yang's consumption concept, he would not be reluctant. Now that the two are living together, He Jin will feel very sorry if he asks Qin Yang to accommodate him and lower his requirements on the quality of life for a little bit of self-esteem.
After strolling around until four o'clock in the afternoon, the two returned with a carful of things.
Hang Chi Hang Chi carried things up to the third floor—neither high nor low, with a minimum of four hours of sunshine in winter, the best floor—after resting for a while, the two began to divide their work.
Qin Yang also brought his own set of Bose speakers from home, assembled the speakers, connected the bracelet, and asked He Jin who was packing up in the kitchen: "Honey~~ What song do you want to listen to?"
He Jin snapped his hands. When Qin Yang called him "wife", he felt a subtle sense of shame every time. Although he had been called that in different situations, in games, in text messages, and even in bed, now Listening to Qin Yang calling in such an earnest tone with a hint of attachment, He Jin inexplicably had a feeling of "gender confusion", as if they were really married and he really became Qin Yang's wife.
"Whatever!" He Jin's cheeks were slightly hot, and he continued to run hot water to sterilize the new kitchen utensils.
A brisk English song came from the bedroom, bringing the afternoon sun around the messy den.
“A mask is easily placed, on a betrayed and broken face… my scars i shouldn't hide, from the people who are on my side… ”
He Jin swayed unconsciously to the beat, and put the sterilized bowls and chopsticks in the leaking basket, while Qin Yang assembled the chairs and bookshelves he bought back in the bedroom, humming softly along with the tune.
“Rolling up my sleeves to fight against, all the things i locked up, and all the things i fenced… ”
“But it's time to let it out, so we build a brand new castle… ”
The next day, the mattresses, quilts and pillows that the two bought online also arrived.
After several days of busy work, I finally finished decorating the new home. Light blue striped curtains, zakka-style beds and slippers of the same color, and ivory white carpet—two boys’ houses, the color scheme seems a bit monotonous, but the living room The coffee table, the bedside in the bedroom and the window sill in the kitchen are dotted with some green plants, such as copper money grass, green radish, and asparagus bamboo, which are eye-catching.
There was a smell of new furniture in the new house, and the two of them ventilated it for a few days. When the weather was fine, He Jin came to dry the quilts. It was already May when they decided to officially move in.
A Saturday was fixed, He Jin woke up early, and while the entire campus was still asleep, he asked Qin Yang to drive over and carry the simple luggage that the two of them had packed to their new home.
"Hey, do you want to invite your friends over for dinner?" To celebrate the housewarming, Qin Yang excitedly proposed to He Jin.
He Jin was a little embarrassed: "Don't invite me, this kind of thing..."
"What's the matter with this kind of thing?" Qin Yang leaned over and hugged him, "It's not that we are shameless, I don't care about others, don't you want to invite Hou Dongyan to come and sit down? He also knows that you moved out to live with me, at least you have to let me He is relieved."
Qin Yang's proposal was not unreasonable. He Jin originally wanted to completely escape from reality and wanted to cut off all social interactions for his lover, but this was always unrealistic. He couldn't even have a friend.
He Jin compromised and said, "Alright, then invite Hou Dongyan."
"Then I'll invite Lao Bai and Zhang Xiao to come over, the five of us will get together." Qin Yang laughed.
"Zhang Xiao?" He Jin was taken aback, "The one with the big smoke?"
Qin Yang: "Yes, it's the one who played against me last semester. You also met him at KTV at the beginning of the year."
"I don't know him very well." He Jin would not be afraid of strangers if they were just meeting with ordinary friends, but now they want someone else to come and visit their "new residence", which makes He Jin a little uncomfortable.
Qin Yang explained: "Jiang Baijian and Zhang Xiao both know that I am with you, they will not talk nonsense, especially Zhang Xiao, he knew that I like you very early, after I posted the photo in Moments, he You guessed it, and congratulations."
Speaking of this photo, He Jin was a little angry, but he didn't want to argue with Qin Yang, so he could only say: "Then it's up to you."
"Are you unhappy?" Here, no one can control them anymore, Qin Yang presumptuously kissed the corners of He Jin's eyes and ears, like a clingy big dog, "If you are unhappy, I will not let you he came."
As soon as Qin Yang clings to him, He Jin has no choice but to surrender with a helpless smile: "Please, they are also your friends, aren't they?"
Sleeping in the new house for the first night, they did it again. This kind of thing seems to be addictive, and the small nest belonging to two people is like a protective cover, which makes He Jin feel an inexplicable sense of security. He is better than the last time during the whole process. enjoy.
The next day, He Jin woke up sleepily in Qin Yang's arms, and he didn't feel any embarrassment about what happened last night. He couldn't help feeling that human beings are very adaptable creatures, and even when their eyelids were kissed by their lovers, they murmured Saying good morning, it was like a dream, making He Jin in a trance.
After waking up, the two went to a nearby supermarket to buy food for their friends, just like newlyweds. They carefully selected daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, snacks, and snacks... When they got home, there were only two hours left before their friends came to their door.
The two started to pack their things as if they were fighting, "How to do this?" He Jin took out the tomato Qin Yang bought from the plastic bag.
"Uh, let's make cold salad!" Qin Yang took out the cutting board, put one of the tomatoes in the middle, and took out the kitchen knife he just bought. Under He Jin's terrified gaze, "Boom, boom, boom!" , The tomato instantly "blooded" and the water flowed horizontally, and the lumpy corpse was horrible.
He Jin: "..." (=_=)
Qin Yang: "Give me a plate!"
After shoveling the "corpse" of tomato into the plate, Qin Yang cut another one as before, and asked, "How is it? Is the shape better this time?"
He Jin complained leisurely: "It's half a catty."
After opening a new bag of white cotton candy, Qin Yang sprinkled it boldly, half of the tomatoes on the plate were covered by the sugar.
"Is this... edible?" He Jin couldn't bear to look directly at him and raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you want to entertain guests with this?"
Qin Yang didn't change his face: "The most important thing is your heart."
Well, He Jin had nothing to say, and took a plate of tomato corpses covered with "snow" to the living room, and placed it in the middle of the dining table.
He Jin went to search the bag again and found two cucumbers: "What about this? What are you doing?"
Qin Yang stroked his chin and said, "It's done!"
"Boom, boom, boom! Pop! Pop!" Sprinkle sugar, pour vinegar, and the second plate of "corpse" is out - vinegar cucumber!
Seeing that there were already two beautifully colored dishes on the table, Qin Yang was overwhelmed with confidence, poured out all the ingredients in the bag, and said to He Jin, "Help me go to the room and get the IPAD! I downloaded a 'start from scratch' yesterday. "Learn to Cook" app!"
"Oh..." He Jin found the IPAD from the room, put it on top of the microwave oven that is not easy to get water and oil, and the two got together to order—
He Jin likes to eat sweet and sour things, pointing to the "sweet and sour pork tenderloin" in the picture, he said anxiously: "This looks very good."
Qin Yang swiped his finger to look at the process, and said embarrassingly, "This is a fourth-level dish. It's too difficult. It's better to make something simple for the first time."
The two chose the "Elementary" catalog and went in to see that they were all extremely simple dishes, such as fried eggs, scrambled eggs, fried rice with eggs, fried vegetables...
"Fried eggs?" He Jin clicked on it, and the tutorial video started to play after buffering. Qin Yang's eyes lit up: "That's good, pause for now, and follow suit later."
Qin Yang prepared oil and salt seasoning, and He Jin picked three fresh eggs to wash.
Seeing this, Qin Yang asked strangely, "Why are you washing eggs?"
He Jin frowned: "The eggs are pulled out from the place where the hen is, so it's too dirty if you don't wash them."
Qin Yang was speechless: "But we don't eat eggshells."
He Jin: "Will it be stained when you beat the eggs?"
Qin Yang: "..."
He Jin washed the eggs, and didn't know how to break them. He knocked them like peeling tea eggs, and the egg whites flowed all over his hands: "Ah... it's sticky, it's so disgusting. (=_=)"
Qin Yang caressed his forehead: "You, you'd better let it go, I'll come."
Although Qin Yang doesn't know how to cook, but compared to He Jin who doesn't touch Yang Chunshui with his fingers, he is still much better.
As a result, He Jin became a helper throughout the whole process, passing things and helping Qin Yang adjust the progress of the video, "Hey, it's too fast, I didn't see it clearly, so go back a little." "Here?" Yes, start here!" "Prickly..." "Wow! The egg is fluffy!" "Yeah! It's delicious! (⊙o⊙)" The two stared at the fried egg in the non-stick pan with fresh eyes , excited like turning an egg into gold.
A plate of fried eggs has gone through untold hardships, and finally made it. Qin Yang hurriedly put the eggs on the plate. He Jin took the plate with both hands, staring at the stars: "It's great!"
Qin Yang played with a spatula like a tennis racket, and asked, "Is your husband good?"
He Jin suddenly remembered and asked, "Hey, that, did you put salt?"
The corners of Qin Yang's eyes twitched: "It seems that I didn't let it go, try it"
He Jin dug a hole with his chopsticks and ate it: "I didn't put it... Pour some soy sauce?"
Qin Yang: "Good idea!"
…
Soon approaching twelve o'clock, there was a knock on the door outside, and Qin Yang's bracelet also rang. It was a friend who had arrived. In two hours, Qin Yang and He Jin only cooked four dishes. Two of them are cold dishes!
Looking at the oddly shaped cold tomatoes, vinegared cucumbers, fried eggs with a corner missing on the table, and shredded pork with cabbage that was fried black and added with old godmother, He Jin opened the door nervously.
Jiang Baijian and Zhang Xiao arrived together, they greeted each other, and before entering the door, they shouted: "What is it, it smells so good!"
It smells like fried eggs, right? Like the head of a family, He Jin welcomed them in with grace and made them each a cup of milk tea in a bag.
"I'll go, what a thing!" Zhang Xiao stared at the four dishes on the table, disappointed.
He Jin hurriedly brought out roast duck, roast goose, sauced meat from the kitchen...
"Wow!" Zhang Xiao's expression changed instantly, and he pointed to the dishes in shock and asked, "You all made this? It's awesome!"
He Jin said honestly: "The cooked food bought in the supermarket."
Zhang Xiao: "..."
After a while, Hou Dongyan also came. He didn't pay as much attention to the dishes on the table as Zhang Xiao and Jiang Baijian, but first visited their new house curiously.
"It's really nice, it looks so warm!" Hou Dongyan had a pure mind at first, until when he visited the bedroom, he accidentally saw a used condom in the trash can at the foot of the bed. At this point, Hou Dongyan's three views completely collapsed, the whole People are not so good!
... Qin Metamorphosis, you return my pure and ascetic brother Jin! ! ! TAT
After dinner, five people sat around the small dining table and raised their glasses.
Jiang Baijian first said: "Congratulations on moving, give us more opportunities to eat together in the future!"
Qin Yang: "Don't even think about it, just this once!"
Then it was Zhang Xiao's turn: "I wish you a happy wedding!"
Everyone: "Pfft..."
He Jin was so embarrassed by Zhang Xiao's unscrupulous "Congratulations", Zhang Xiao coughed lightly, switched modes and said seriously: "He Jin, I'm not familiar with you before, let's get to know each other formally, my name is Zhang Xiao, It's Qin Yang's high school classmate, different grades, but we played tennis together in high school, and we have a good relationship. I knew this guy had someone he liked for many years, but I didn't expect it to be you. What do you say, Qin Yang's boy? My friend is my boyfriend... Huh? Emma, that doesn't seem right!"
Everyone laughed, Qin Yang drank a glass with him again: "Okay, if you can't straighten your tongue, just say a few words less!"
Finally it was Hou Dongyan's turn. Hou Dongyan held up his wine glass, looked at He Jin, and said sincerely: "Brother Jin, I don't know what to say, anyway, as long as you are happy."
Just be happy, this is the most realistic sentence.
To be happy in life is to have fun, who would not hesitate to be with Qin Yang impulsively when he was a teenager, He Jin didn't care about being a little more indulgent, he raised his glass, said "thank you", and did it all.

Translation of four English lyrics—
Easily put on a mask, covering a face of betrayal and brokenness
I shouldn't hide my scars, I shouldn't hide from those who are with me
Roll up your sleeves and fight all the things I block, all the things I cover
It's time to unleash our hearts so we can build a whole new castle
