They had confirmed their relationship only a few days ago, and had not even held hands yet.
That afternoon, she was asked to help look at furniture and houses.
It seemed like he was certain that they would definitely be together in the future.
Sheng Ning’an looked at the other person, "Xu Weiran, you couldn’t have liked me for a long time, could you?" Otherwise, why had he immediately agreed when she suggested he be her boyfriend?
If he had been so easy to pursue, he probably wouldn’t have been single for so long.
The only explanation was that he must have been eyeing her for a long time and was just holding back from confessing.
Upon hearing this, Xu Weiran did not deny it, but just stared at her for a long time, until Sheng Ning’an nearly couldn’t take it anymore and thought she was being delusional, she then heard him say, "Hmm!"
That simple word somehow made Sheng Ning’an’s ears unexpectedly warm.
Xu Weiran looked at her, seeming to indeed have liked this girl for a long time. Before, it was just because of the girl’s young age that he had never considered that aspect.
It wasn’t until that girl messaged him to ask if she should set him up with a girlfriend, how she felt, and if he wanted to give it a try.
At that moment, it seemed like there was only one voice in his head: Agree to her.
Then he went directly to her school to find her.
Though he was past the age of youthful impulses, he was still irrational once.
Even knowing they had an age difference, not being the most suitable choice for each other, and that the girl might have been joking, he still went.
On the way there, he thought a lot about the obstacles they might face, about how young the girl was, and whether she might regret it after a whim... He thought a lot but still wanted to give it a try.
Ultimately, it was all because of "liking" her.
He had indeed liked this girl for a long time.
It was either the moment they reunited at the bar, or maybe even earlier.
His direct admission surprisingly made Sheng Ning’an speechless.
But she wasn’t a coy or pretentious person, so she immediately spoke up, "I understand. I’m not too busy lately, so I’ll keep an eye out. But do you have any requirements for the new house?"
Xu Weiran said, "No specific requirements, you take care of it."
Having no requirements was the biggest requirement.
It’s like when you ask someone what they want to eat and they say anything, but "anything" is actually the hardest to handle.
Seeing her difficulty, Xu Weiran added, "Preferably nearby, a good layout, and enough space to live in is fine. You can take a look first, and we can discuss any you like."
Buying a house was not a trivial matter, but since he brought it up, Sheng Ning’an also took it to heart.
Because Xu Weiran said just enough space to live in was fine, Sheng Ning’an assumed his funds were limited.
So, she focused on the low-demand small apartments in the area.
There were many properties nearby, with few new ones, mostly second-hand houses.
Sheng Ning’an did not like second-hand houses much, but if she chose a new house, the location had to be a bit farther away. She first looked up the information online, then contacted the real estate agent to roughly understand the situation of several properties, and after careful comparison and spending several evenings, she finally reluctantly picked out two properties and layouts she thought were suitable.
Sheng Ning’an looked at the pile of housing information she had finally organized in front of her, couldn’t help stretching lazily, and thought, she hadn’t put so much effort even during her high school entrance exams.
Then she picked up her phone and texted Xu Weiran, "Boyfriend, tomorrow is the weekend, wanna meet?"
