Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Couples Pajamas Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Couples Pajamas After getting back home, Sheng Chuyi told Shen Zhaozhao, “You put the groceries in the fridge, I’ll prepare the ingredients for tonight’s housewarming dinner.”
Shen Zhaozhao placed the groceries in the fridge one by one, knowing a certain someone liked things tidy, she even categorized everything meticulously until she had arranged everything neatly before she happily got up and walked over to Sheng Chuyi, “Is there anything else I can do?”
Sheng Chuyi turned around to face her, “No need, I’ll take care of the rest. Why don’t you go sit in the living room and relax?”
“Since we’ve moved in together, we should share the household chores.” Although Shen Zhaozhao didn’t know how to cook, she felt embarrassed just sitting around doing nothing, especially since she had invited her roommate, she felt even more obliged not to slack off.
Seeing her insistence, Sheng Chuyi took out a new apron that she had bought as a spare from the cupboard and handed it to her, “Then you can help me by washing the vegetables, I’ll cut them later.”
“Got it!” Shen Zhaozhao ran excitedly to the sink to wash the vegetables. She took a glance at the person nearby and suddenly felt a sense of home life.
While they were busy, the doorbell rang.
Shen Zhaozhao immediately shook off the water from her hands and ran towards the door.
Upon opening the door, she saw six people standing neatly at the entrance.
“How come you all came together?” Shen Zhaozhao asked, surprised.
As Song Ning peeked around, assessing the layout of the place, he said, “We just happened to meet downstairs, so we came up together. This complex has a really nice environment, the rent must not be cheap, right?”
She really didn’t know about that.
“I’ll ask Yiyi later.”
Shen Zhaozhao handed out the shoe covers she had just bought at the supermarket to everyone and said, “Feel free to sit anywhere. We’re having hotpot tonight and it’ll be ready to eat soon.”
“Okay, we’ll take a look around, and you don’t have to mind us.”
As soon as Song Ning entered, he began to look around and exclaimed, “Is this really the place you’re renting? The setup is so beautiful! You two could even use it as your wedding house.”
“What nonsense are you talking?”
Meanwhile, Su Yang smiled and pulled out a gift bought jointly by the three of them, “Congratulations on your engagement, this is a gift from the three of us for both of you.” Since it was around the Spring Festival, interprovincial train tickets were hard to come by and the distance was too far, so the three of them hadn’t attended their engagement party, but they had arranged and bought the gift in advance.
“Thank you,” Shen Zhaozhao smiled as she accepted it, “But aren’t you guys being a bit too formal?”
“This is something we selected with great care, we hope you both will like it,” Yu Zhi said with a smile.
“We also prepared gifts for you and Old Sheng, you’ll definitely find them useful,” Lu Yao also handed her a box.
“Thank you!” Shen Zhaozhao placed the box on the table, then went to pour tea for everyone.
She had just seen a super nice set of tea ware in the supermarket and couldn’t resist buying it, now it was just the right occasion to use it.
With many people around, Sheng Chuyi prepared plenty of ingredients and even specially bought fresh beef and lamb to slice up, along with various kinds of meatballs and vegetables.
The group gathered together and had a lively hotpot meal.
While the others drank beer, Shen Zhaozhao clutched a pack of Yakult.
After sending everyone off that evening, Sheng Chuyi took care of cleaning the table, while Shen Zhaozhao was sent to the sofa, holding the gift boxes brought by the roommates and unwrapping gifts.
Song Ning and her group had given a pair of couple’s pajamas, which Shen Zhaozhao, blushing, put aside after unwrapping.
Then she went on to open the gift brought by Lu Yao and his group.
The moment she opened the box, Shen Zhaozhao’s face turned red as if engorged with blood, as if holding a hot potato, she immediately tossed the box far away.
