Shen Mianmian thought about it and realized that it indeed made sense. Since the place was nearby, moving in a day earlier or later would not matter much, so she agreed.
"Then I’ll move tomorrow."
He Nan nodded, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aside from cooking noodles, can you cook anything else?"
Shen Mianmian answered without thinking, "I can stir fry some simple home dishes, and make some meat porridge."
He furrowed his brows, "What would you like to eat for dinner?"
"Ah?" Shen Mianmian was taken aback.
"What do you want to eat, I’ll pick it up on the way." He explained earnestly.
This time, Shen Mianmian understood that Big Brother He planned to cook dinner at home. Since they had noodles last night, they would definitely want something different tonight.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Big Brother He, I can only cook some simple stir-fries, so just getting some greens, pork, or fish would be fine."
"Mhm." He Nan nodded in response, placing the keys on the table inside the room, "I’ve left the keys here, go watch TV if you get tired."
Shen Mianmian nodded and began to clean the house after watching him leave. The house wasn’t dirty, but it hadn’t been cleaned for over a week, and there was a bit of dust.
Shen Mianmian cleaned meticulously inside and out; this was where she would live for the next three years of high school. Although it was a rented place, it was her space, and she was delighted in her heart.
She cleaned with great enthusiasm.
The apartment, though a two-bedroom with a living room, wasn’t small at all—well over ninety square meters. It was spacious enough for her and Xiaocui to live in, and she genuinely loved the place.
In her past life, she had lived to a ripe old age and had only witnessed others living prosperous lives while she still resided in a shabby rental place, never having afforded a place that cost over five hundred to rent.
After cleaning, Shen Mianmian revealed a satisfied smile. With the place airing out, she could move in tomorrow.
Glancing at the clock on the wall, it was already after five. Thinking that He Nan would soon be back, she went to take a shower. Just after she finished washing her dirty clothes and hung them up to dry, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance.
He Nan walked in expressionlessly, carrying some groceries. Shen Mianmian glanced at them, and the corner of her mouth twitched—Big Brother He had bought so much! Didn’t he know the two of them couldn’t possibly eat all that chicken, fish, and meat?
Seeming to read her thoughts, He Nan said, "It may look like a lot, but it isn’t much once it’s cooked."
Shen Mianmian thought it made sense; Big Brother He had a good appetite and could eat several buns in one meal. She couldn’t measure the amount of food based on her own appetite.
He brought the groceries into the kitchen, and Shen Mianmian followed. The spacious kitchen suddenly felt cramped with him there, and they inevitably bumped into each other constantly.
Shen Mianmian felt a little uncomfortable, kept moving to the side, and ended up leaning against the refrigerator. However, He Nan didn’t seem to notice these things and took everything out of the bags.
Shen Mianmian couldn’t help out and just stood there watching. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱
After he had arranged everything, he finally said, "Go watch TV for a bit. I’ll wash the vegetables, then you can come back in."
So cooking also involved taking care of washing the vegetables?
Shen Mianmian indicated that she wasn’t that high-maintenance, "Big Brother He, let me do it! You’ve been running around all day, you must be tired. Rest for a while!"
"These meat dishes have a strong smell, and cutting them is strenuous. You go wait outside." He Nan casually placed an entire chicken into the sink, "Leave the vegetables to you, and the meat dishes to me."
