Before even buying any groceries, Shen Xingcan had already filled her shopping cart more than halfway with various snacks and ice cream.
Clearly, Shen Xingcan's excuse for coming to the supermarket to buy groceries was just that—an excuse. Her Shen Xingcan purpose was to buy a large bag of unhealthy snacks.
Xie Linchuan didn't say anything throughout the entire process.
Shen Xingcan felt wonderful inside, thinking to herself, "Is this one of the benefits of being in a relationship?"
You have to understand that in the past, Xie Linchuan would never have allowed him to buy so many snacks and ice cream.
Except for specific circumstances, the two housekeepers only come over every morning to tidy up the room and make breakfast.
Because Shen Xingcan refused the two aunts' suggestion to buy ingredients due to her own selfish reasons, all the ingredients now naturally need to be handled by the two of them.
Shen Xingcan put on the little apron she had just bought from the supermarket, looking quite serious, as if she was ready to get down to business.
In reality, all he needed to do was unpack the supermarket's takeout boxes, as most of the ingredients they bought were already washed and cut for convenience.
Once all the ingredients were neatly arranged, Shen Xingcan took out her phone, found the right angle, and took a picture.
Shen Xingcan V: I had hot pot at home for lunch today~ (image. jpg)
Cheese Corn: Wow, baby's having hot pot today! It looks delicious.
Genius, genius, I really am a genius: What a delicious hot pot! Love you, mwah!
"Legs are 2.8 meters long: This hot pot is so spicy? Looks like your husband hasn't gotten you yet."
Little Star: On the surface, she was talking about having hot pot for lunch today, but the focus was clearly on the two sets of tableware and two glasses of juice. I knew this Evil Ragdoll would never miss any opportunity to show off its affection.
I love you: Tsk, I almost forgot what Weibo was before, but after starting a relationship, I've been using it like my personal Weibo Moments.
Almond Tofu: Can the CP fans please take a break? Shen Xingcan can only eat with Xie Linchuan? Can't Shen Xingcan have other friends?
Xie Linchuan didn't let Shen Xingcan eat hot pot right away. Instead, he coaxed him to drink half a bowl of the chicken porridge that had just been delivered before letting him eat.
Shen Xingcan was reluctant, but she still obediently drank half a bowl of porridge.
Shen Xingcan thoroughly enjoyed the meal. After finishing the hot pot and tidying up the table, Shen Xingcan collapsed onto the sofa as if she had no bones.
Xie Linchuan: "Don't lie down right after you eat."
Shen Xingcan muttered, "Even my dad isn't as long-winded as you."
Even so, Shen Xingcan still struggled to get up from the sofa, but he refused to walk properly and instead clung to Xie Linchuan like a sloth.
Xie Linchuan took one step, and he moved one step in turn.
Shen Xingcan sniffed Xie Linchuan, then said with disdain, " Xie Linchuan, you smell awful. You smell like hot pot broth."
Xie Linchuan: "..."
Even the five-constant air system clearly couldn't dispel the smell of hot pot.
Shen Xingcan lowered her head and sniffed herself again, then wrinkled her nose. "I smell awful too, it stinks, it stinks! You go take a shower, I'm going to take a shower too."
Xie Linchuan: "Why didn't you complain when you were eating it?"
"That's not the same! Just like many people like to eat stinky tofu, but no one would make stinky tofu into perfume!"
Xie Linchuan: "..."
In the washroom, Shen Xingcan's toiletries had brazenly taken over the territory that originally belonged exclusively to Xie Linchuan.
As for Xie Linchuan's belongings, Shen Xingcan moved them all to his own room. He generously lent Xie Linchuan his own bathroom so that Xie Linchuan wouldn't have to use the public bathroom anymore.
Thinking that she wouldn't be going out today since it was her day off, Shen Xingcan simply put on her pajamas.
Xie Linchuan helped Shen Xingcan dry her hair, and then took her for a walk on the second-floor terrace to aid digestion.
The two houses have adjacent balconies, and the partition between them was completely removed during the renovation.
A 100-meter-long terrace stretches across the entire floor, with wooden flooring extending to the edges. It offers a wide view and is adorned with lush greenery. A set of rattan sofas stands along the wall.
A wooden cradle-shaped hanging chair hangs on the left side. Shen Xingcan used to love sitting on it and staring blankly at the sky.
After circling the terrace a few times, Shen Xingcan returned to her throne.
He lay half-reclined in the hammock, comfortably squinting his eyes.
The sun was shining brightly, its warmth neither scorching nor oppressive.
Shen Xingcan yawned.
Are you sleepy?
"A little."
As she spoke, Shen Xingcan naturally reached out her arms to hug Xie Linchuan.
Xie Linchuan calmly, "Lazy cat."
Even so, she still carried the person back to the room like a baby, and personally took off their shoes and covered them with a blanket.
"Aren't you going to sleep with me?"
Shen Xingcan frowned when she saw that Xie Linchuan had no intention of lying down next to her.
Xie Linchuan: "I still have some emails to process. You go to sleep first, and I'll come back after I've finished dealing with the emails."
Shen Xingcan complained, "Can't we take the computer to the room to deal with it? Fine, I'll go to the study with you, I'll sleep on the sofa in your study."
Xie Linchuan then thought of Shen Xingcan's remaining four sleeping pills.
He reassured her, "I'll take the computer to the bedroom to deal with it; you can go to sleep."
But Shen Xingcan had already put on her shoes and naturally draped them over his back. "Let's go to the study. It's too tiring to deal with emails without using the desk."
Xie Linchuan's study is on the second floor. In addition to Xie Linchuan's study, there is also a collection room on the second floor. The two rooms are connected.
Shen Xingcan felt sleepy when she was lying in bed, but she was wide awake when she got to Xie Linchuan's study.
He got up from the sofa, like a cat patrolling its territory, wandering around and looking at things.
It was as if he was trying to re-imbue the house, which had long since lost his presence, with his scent again.
After walking around the study, Shen Xingcan stood in front of the collection room.
Xie Linchuan.
"Um."
Can I still go in?
