Gu Ziyi pursed her lips, knowing that Lin Yuxi might have noticed something was wrong with her. The two had known each other for such a long time and had some similarities in personality, so Lin Yuxi could naturally feel it.
"Nothing, just calling to ask how you are doing lately..." Lin Yuxi said.
Gu Ziyi coughed twice more: "It's nothing, you will see me when you return to Beijing. You have fun outside, please pay attention to safety."
"Okay. Take care of yourself and hang up the phone."
Gu Ziyi hung up the phone.
There was silence.
—
When Xu Ruanruan came home at night, she had been cooking dinner in Xiang Shen's apartment recently. She was given a spare key to Xiang Shen's apartment. Xiang Shen also asked her if she wanted to wait until the end of the month to quit the rent and move the two of them together. Anyway, it was two bedrooms and one living room, so they could live comfortably.
Xu Ruanruan's working hours are relatively normal, and he even gets off work earlier than normal. After returning to Youwen, his work is particularly easy.
Since she got off work earlier than Xiang Shen, she took care of dinner for the two of them.
In fact, it's just a simple meal, and she can't cook complicated meals.
During this period, she bought a multifunctional breakfast machine and a small oven in Xiangshen's apartment.
She is not opposed to cooking and is very interested in it. Occasionally when I’m watching short videos on my phone, I’ll be tempted to see those cute and beautiful snacks.
She simmered the rice, then fried the vegetables and served them.
There happened to be the sound of the door opening. Xiang Shen opened the door and came in. The first thing he said was: "It smells so good."
Xu Ruanruan took off his apron and said, "Wash your hands and eat."
"Yes." Xiang Shen came over and kissed Xu Ruanruan's cheek first, and then walked into the bathroom to wash his hands. Hanging his suit jacket on the hanger, he sat down at the table obediently.
The things Xu Ruanruan cooks are not very complicated, they are all simple versions of home-cooked dishes. Two people each had a plate, and the rice and vegetables were already placed on their respective plates.
Xu Ruanruan bought these two plates online a while ago, one pink and one aqua blue.
Xiang Shen had no objections to this at all, including Xu Ruanruan's fondness for buying beautiful cups and the pile of baking molds in the kitchen. He thought it was very good, it had an unprecedented warm atmosphere.
"How about I cook braised pork for you on the weekend?" Xu Ruanruan looked at him, both eyes shining.
Xiang Shen smiled and said, "Okay."
He likes Xu Ruanruan's vigorous vitality and vigor, which makes him feel that life also has some colors to pursue.
When Xu Ruanruan and Xiang Shen were in love, there were not many opportunities for the two to date. Because Xiang Shen is very busy.
After all, Xiang Shen is not Xiang Secretary or Assistant, but Xiang President.
When Xiang Shen was particularly busy before, he and Xu Ruanruan had a serious discussion about the fact that the two of them had little time to spend together. Originally, he felt a little guilty, feeling that he had failed to fulfill his duty as a boyfriend.
And Xu Ruanruan’s reaction…
"No, I like you to make money. Only by making money can you support me."
Xiang Shen: "..." There's nothing wrong with it.
Xu Ruanruan is actually half-joking. She is not a dependent woman. She has excellent work ability. Saying this is nothing more than reassuring Xiang Shen.
After getting together with Xiang Shen, Xu Ruanruan found that Xiang Shen was really a very good person. That's right, she regarded Xiang Shen as her marriage partner.
Although Xiang Shen doesn't talk too much, he is very careful and considerate. More importantly, he has a really good personality. You don't have the problems of other men. You drink in moderation, you don't get too drunk, and you don't smoke? You won’t just talk about yourself after drinking and boast that you are the best in the world.
If Xu Ruanruan could sum up Xiang Shen in two words, it would be "satisfaction".
Xu Ruanruan used to think that falling in love was quite difficult. You really can't find someone you get along well with in a short period of time. It is really difficult to meet such a person. Maybe the chance is one in tens of thousands? Or maybe the one-in-a-million chance of making the film. She always felt that she had a lot of luck meeting Xiang Shen.
I didn't fall in love before, but if people around me fell in love, got married, or had children, I would still feel a little bit anxious. Because others seem to be happy, it seems that I have never been able to find a good partner.
Now Xu Ruanruan believes that "what belongs to you will eventually come." Maybe it's earlier or later.
The two of them would talk about the company while having dinner. After all, Xu Ruanruan is a gossip genius. She often mentions the editorial department of Youwen.
Xiang Shen is not that nosy, and he is the one who listens most of the time. After listening to Xu Ruanruan talk a lot, I also know who the people in the editorial department are. Xu Ruanruan has a better relationship with a little sister in the editorial department named Jiang Keke.
For some reason, Xiang Shen felt that the name had an anime feel to it, like a two-dimensional character in an anime.
"Are you going to work overtime on the weekend?" Xu Ruanruan tilted his head and looked at him.
Xiang Shen shook his head, "Why don't you work overtime?"
"Let's go to the supermarket together that weekend." Xu Ruanruan laughed, his eyes crooked.
Xiang Shen agreed: "Okay." Then he asked Xu Ruanruan, "Do you want to move here at the end of the month? I have already packed up the guest room."
Xu Ruanruan bit his chopsticks, "Would it be awkward to live together?"
"You can save the rent by living together." Xiang Shen said.
Xu Ruanruan looked at him and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you planning to bear all the rent alone?"
Xiang Shen's expression said "otherwise".
Xu Ruanruan said: "We agreed in advance that when I move here, the rent will be AA."
"Then don't I have to give you food money every month?"
"Eh?" Xu Ruanruan was stunned.
Xiang Shen did the math for her: "Look, you have to help me make breakfast and dinner every day, and you buy the food." He pointed to the kitchen, "You also bought the kitchen utensils, and you paid for the labor. Then I Do you want to eat and drink for free? Since the rent is equal to me, then the food money must also be equal to me."
Xu Ruanruan: "..."
"How about I pay all the rent for you to cook for me?" Xiang Shen looked at her with a smile.
"Hmm... It seems ok." Xu Ruanruan agreed.
The reason why she didn't want Xiang Shen to bear all the rent was because the two were still in a relationship. If she usually asks for a snack or a meal, she doesn't think it's a big problem. But Xu Ruanruan felt that it was not feasible to pay all the rent to Shenzhen.
After all, it is a love relationship, not a husband-wife relationship.
When it comes to money, two people still have to roughly divide it between you and me.
Xu Ruanruan didn't want Xiang Shen to spend too much money on her behalf, because they were both the same age and were busy commuting to and from get off work every day. There was no reason for Xiang Shen to pay much more than she did.
