Chapter 358
Chapter 358
Fortunately, Cheng Xiaomao didn't ask too much and didn't doubt anything.
She was also very happy to know that it was bought instead of rented, and said directly:
"It's even better if it's your own house. You can decorate it however I want, right?"
"Of course!"
"Hehe!"
Cheng Xiaomao seemed particularly expectant.
Xu Anruo looked down at her and couldn't help but be absent-minded.
He bought two apartments in Mengzhicheng at the time. He didn't have any special ideas when he bought them. He just bought them because the discount was a little bigger. Anyway, it's a good deal to buy a house in Lucheng at this time in 2014.
At first, Xu Anruo planned to live in the two-bedroom apartment, which was bigger. The extra room was just right for a study, which was convenient for him to come over to work and stay up late.
Then before the holiday, he talked about this with Tan Zijin again, and made an appointment to go buy pots and pans together, so that he could eat her cooking.
The kitchen of the two-bedroom apartment was also much larger, and there was an independent dining room.
The one-bedroom and one-living room is a typical single apartment layout, with a semi-open kitchen and a living room and dining room integrated.
Xu Anruo had already bought the basic appliances and furniture for the two houses before the holiday, including sofas and beds, TVs, internet, and other things, except for small things like quilts and pillows.
Xu Anruo must rent or buy a house outside the school, and this cannot be hidden.
But if there is only one house, when Tan Zijin comes, Cheng Xiaomao will not be able to come, which will easily cause conflicts and exposure.
So just do it like this, one set for each person, and do not interfere with each other.
After staying at home for three days during the National Day holiday, Xu Anruo re-examined his current emotional state, which was very contradictory and complicated.
This was completely different from before he was reborn.
At that time, he would not have such contradictory psychology.
How to say it? At that time, he was particularly rational, clear-minded, and profound.
Xu Anruo knew very well that love is cyclical, from ambiguity to obsession, then deep love, thunder and fire, then slowly the passion fades, enters a dull period, and finally is replaced by freshness, ending this relationship and entering the next one.
Enjoy life in time and get what you need.
Don't care about forever, just care about having it once.
But it's different now.
There are too many things to consider and too deep.
Or in other words, when it comes to Cheng Xiaomao, he not only cares about having it, but also cares about long-term, and dares not let it down and owe it.
But the problem is that Xu Anruo can't avoid his feelings for Tan Zijin.
He also thought about letting go, thinking about slowly diluting the relationship between the two, or to establish a clearer boundary and attitude.
But he thought about it for a long time, but couldn't do it, he didn't want to let go.
But on the other hand, he was slow to promote the relationship between himself and Tan Zijin, and he has always maintained great restraint.
Try to avoid ambiguity and try to avoid emotional progression.
He was afraid of losing, but also afraid of being hurt and betrayed.
So, Xu Anruo expressed his emotions in a so-called way of "I hope you can grow into a better self, I can lead you to run" through a series of "ulterior motives".
So all of Xu Anruo's actions have so-called legitimate reasons!
The help and advice he gave to Tan Zijin was to hope that she would grow and heal her.
When he lent money to Tan Zhonghong, he also emphasized that it was Zipei who needed a father.
Xu Anruo has always been careful to put himself in a position that is neither close nor far. If he takes a step back, he is unwilling, and if he takes a step forward, his heart will drag his feet.
Why drag his feet?
Because he cherishes it too much in his heart.
He is afraid of being unfair to Cheng Xiaomao, and even more afraid of being unfair to Tan Zijin.
But in addition to this, Xu Anruo feels that he has become a different person from Huanran in his previous life, and he maintains a clear sense of boundaries with all other opposite sexes.
However,
He doesn't know how long this state of his can last...
Thoughts are withdrawn.
Xu Anruo took Cheng Xiaomao's hand and walked to the door of the one-bedroom apartment, found the key, and opened the door.
Cheng Xiaomao obviously didn't notice that Xu Anruo was emotionally distracted just now.
She was still very happy.
She had been very happy since the moment she met Xu Anruo.
No, it should be said that she had been very happy since she confirmed her relationship with Xu Anruo.
After Cheng Xiaomao entered the house, she seemed very excited. She walked around inside and outside, then ran to the balcony of the bedroom, shouting in surprise and excitement:
"Xu Xiaogou, come here quickly, quickly!"
Xu Anruo closed the door casually, then walked through the living room into the bedroom.
This house is a typical one-bedroom and one-living room layout. The entrance is the living room, the middle is the kitchen and bathroom, and the bedroom with a balcony is inside, so the living room isDark hall, no balcony.
The two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment is a side unit, so the living room is a bright hall with a balcony, and the master bedroom also has a balcony.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Anruo walked over.
At this time, Cheng Xiaomao was lying on the balcony railing, pointing to the Jiangda campus not far away, and said excitedly:
"Your school can be seen from here. Look, isn't that the stadium next to your dormitory? That's Qingxi Lake, and that's the swimming pool!"
"I bought it for this reason."
While Xu Anruo was talking, he hugged Cheng Xiaomao from behind, and his voice was much gentler.
His hands crossed and pressed on Cheng Xiaomao's lower abdomen, and he leaned over and put his chin on Cheng Xiaomao's shoulder.
Cheng Xiaomao probably didn't expect Xu Anruo to hug her like this.
This was the first time, but she seemed to like it very much. She tightened her body and shrank her neck, and her reaction was particularly cute.
Then the voice changed, and she murmured softly:
"What are you doing, Xu Xiaogou?"
"I miss you."
Xu Anruo said.
This is what he really thinks.
Cheng Xiaomao lowered his head, giggled, and asked:
"How much do you miss me?"
"I don't know."
Xu Anruo couldn't say it.
He still had the same old problem, he couldn't say too affectionately if he said something too corny, which was also one of the symptoms of tsundere.
But his body language was very honest, his breathing quickened, his heartbeat quickened, and the irrepressible feeling of attachment was too obvious.
"Hmph!"
Cheng Xiaomao hummed softly.
Then he lowered his head and turned around, stretched out his white arms to wrap around Xu Anruo's waist, put his head against Xu Anruo's chest to listen to his heartbeat, and then gently responded:
"I miss you too..."
While speaking, he wrapped his arms around Xu Anruo and hugged her tightly.
Xu Anruo hummed, rubbed her hair with his chin, smelled the fragrance of her hair, and felt that it was really good to hug each other like this.
But soon, the kitten in his arms struggled, raised his face and stared at Xu Anruo, his pretty face flushed, his eyes were full of water, a little shy, but with some expectation.
After staring at each other for less than ten seconds, Xu Anruo couldn't help but lower his head and kissed him.
It was only three days since we last met, but it seemed like a long time had passed, so everything was so passionate...
