- Chapter 10 - The Official Start of Cohabitation
The next day, as soon as Liu Shuhan got off work, Cheng Qiuyi took her and moved all her belongings from the small rental room to her own house. Liu Shuhan didn’t have much stuff; two suitcases were enough to pack everything. However, she had one secret box that was locked, and Liu Shuhan insisted on holding it personally in her arms.
“Well, what good stuff are you hiding in there that you treasure it so much?” Cheng Qiuyi, driving the car, glanced at the solemnly sitting Liu Shuhan and the box held tightly in her arms through the rearview mirror and teased her.
“Of course it’s treasure,” Liu Shuhan said matter-of-factly. “All my most valuable things are in here. Even if I lose myself, I can’t lose this!”
Cheng Qiuyi originally only wanted to start a conversation to chat with Liu Shuhan, but her reply actually piqued her interest. “What exactly are you hiding in there? A passbook?”
Liu Shuhan gave her a look of disdain. “Can you not be so vulgar? Young lady, there are so many wonderful things in this world. Don’t be so obsessed with money all the time, okay?” As she spoke, she even patted Cheng Qiuyi’s shoulder seriously.
Cheng Qiuyi laughed. She held the steering wheel with her left hand, grabbed Liu Shuhan’s hand with her right, holding it in her palm, and tilted her head to give it a light kiss. “Yes, yes, yes, thank you for your lecture, Teacher Liu.”
Liu Shuhan’s face turned red. She pulled her hand back and stammered, “We are on the road. Focus on driving.” After saying that, she turned her head towards the car window, her earlobes completely flushed.
Cheng Qiuyi was in a good mood after taking advantage of Liu Shuhan, and she stopped teasing her, letting her be shy by herself, and stepped on the accelerator, racing home.
Before that, the place was just a house to Cheng Qiuyi, but now it could truly be called “home.”
Since Cheng Qiuyi confessed to Liu Shuhan yesterday, she had been floating on cloud nine. Only after entering the door in a daze following Cheng Qiuyi did she remember something important. “Qiuyi, that…”
“What is it?”
“Where… where do I sleep?”
Cheng Qiuyi looked her up and down, touching her chin meaningfully. “Where do you want to sleep?”
“I, I didn’t mean that! I mean… I mean…” Liu Shuhan mumbled for a long time without making any sense and closed her mouth dejectedly.
Cheng Qiuyi carried her luggage into the room she had stayed in previously. “You sleep where you slept before. Everything remains the same.”
“The same, huh…” Liu Shuhan sighed in relief, but also felt vaguely disappointed.
Liu Shuhan’s blue duvet cover was on the quilt, her plush slippers were by the bed, her clothes for spring, summer, autumn, and winter were in the closet, and there was a large teddy bear doll on the bedside table.
As Liu Shuhan’s belongings filled the room bit by bit, Cheng Qiuyi’s heart was also being filled bit by bit.
“Are we… together now?” Even after packing up all her belongings, Liu Shuhan still felt unreal. Cheng Qiuyi was an unreachable dream to her. Had this dream actually come true so easily?
“What, do you want to back out?”
“How is that possible!” Liu Shuhan shook her head vehemently. “I’m genuinely afraid that I’m still dreaming, and when I wake up, everything will be gone, and I’ll be lying alone on the single bed in my rental room.”
Hearing this, Cheng Qiuyi lifted Liu Shuhan’s chin and gently pecked her on the lips. “Shuhan, this is not a dream. Would I do this to you in a dream?”
Liu Shuhan wanted to say no, but she didn’t want to lie to Cheng Qiuyi, so she closed her eyes and nodded shyly.
Cheng Qiuyi took the opportunity to pinch Liu Shuhan’s cheek and teased, “Not bad, Dullard. I thought you were so timid. You have quite the nerve in your dreams, though.”
Liu Shuhan slapped Cheng Qiuyi’s hand away, adopting a ‘might as well’ attitude. “I am gutsy! Does it concern you? Do you control the heavens, the earth, and people’s dreams?”
“Heaven and earth? Let whoever wants to control them, control them. I only want to control you.”
Liu Shuhan felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She was indeed more educated than herself; she just knew how to talk.
Although Liu Shuhan and Cheng Qiuyi were now officially in a relationship, everything was pretty much the same as before, except that Liu Shuhan could now hug and occasionally kiss the person she wanted. Liu Shuhan was still the courier who left early and returned late, driving around all over the place, and Cheng Qiuyi was still the online shopping enthusiast who received several packages every day.
Liu Shuhan sometimes felt bad about the things Cheng Qiuyi bought. She bought a whole bunch of things that Liu Shuhan never saw her use. She would buy a toothbrush every day. The little money she saved by buying online instead of in a store was not enough to cover the shipping fees.
“No, if you really want to buy toothbrushes, can’t you buy them all at once? How much extra money are you spending this way?” Finally, one time when Liu Shuhan was delivering a package to her, she couldn’t help but ask. Even if Cheng Qiuyi was rich, she shouldn’t spend money like this. It would be better to donate this spare money to the mountainous regions.
Cheng Qiuyi rolled her eyes at her and didn’t say anything. The next time, she still bought as usual, but this time she did buy a little more—two toothbrushes.
“Beautiful woman, another package for you, and it’s still a toothbrush…” Liu Shuhan knocked on Cheng Qiuyi’s door and said helplessly.
When Cheng Qiuyi opened the door for her, she had a tablet computer in her hand and earphones in her ears.
“Are you watching a movie?” Liu Shuhan felt that she was a very negligent partner. Cheng Qiuyi knew everything about her life, but she knew nothing about Cheng Qiuyi, not even what she did for a living.
“Do you want to watch?” Cheng Qiuyi signed the express delivery slip and said to her, “Come in and have a drink of water first. Look at all the sweat.”
“No, I have many packages today. I need to rush to the next customer.”
Cheng Qiuyi dragged Liu Shuhan into the house without question. “At worst, I’ll drive you later. Your health is important. Don’t overwork yourself.”
Liu Shuhan had no choice but to follow her in. Every time she delivered a package to Cheng Qiuyi, she would take a detour to sneak in a little rest, which she felt was quite unfair to the salary her boss paid her.
Cheng Qiuyi placed the tablet computer on the table and went into the kitchen to pour water for Liu Shuhan. Liu Shuhan curiously glanced at the screen and casually asked, “What movie are you watching? How come I’ve never seen this actor before?”
Cheng Qiuyi came out of the kitchen and said with a mischievous look, “A teaching video.”
“A teaching video? You’re not planning to learn how to cook, are you? Please don’t, Sister!”
It wasn’t that Liu Shuhan was overreacting; it was truly because Cheng Qiuyi was a kitchen nemesis by nature. The day before yesterday, she tried to make fried rice with eggs, and a perfectly good non-stick pan ended up completely covered in black, charred stuff. She didn’t even know what it was, and it couldn’t be scraped off.
“No, don’t worry. What I’m learning this time is definitely something useful.”
“What is it?”
Cheng Qiuyi moved the tablet in front of Liu Shuhan and pressed the play button.
Soon, the intertwining bodies of two women appeared on the screen, and the sound coming from the external speakers made Liu Shuhan blush furiously.
“Wh-why are you watching this kind of thing in broad daylight?”
Cheng Qiuyi leaned close to Liu Shuhan’s ear and laughed. “Isn’t this for our future enjoyment? If you haven’t eaten pork, you should at least see how the pig runs first.”
“Cheng Qiuyi.”
“Ah?”
“You’re the pig!”
