After a discount, the remaining amount was exactly ten thousand yuan.
Additionally, the sales assistant gifted them two sets of quality bedding.
"Then please have the items delivered to us as soon as possible," Qin Tian requested after swiping his card to pay.
"Rest assured, sir, we will arrange it immediately. It should arrive within two hours, and our technician will handle the installation," the sales assistant assured him with a warm smile.
"Alright, we'll be going then," Qin Tian said as he bid farewell.
"Certainly, I'll see you out," the sales assistant replied, gesturing for them to follow and escorting them to the shop entrance.
"Why don't we exchange contact information? If you decide to purchase any home appliances or furniture in the future, you can reach out to me anytime."
"Sure!" Qin Tian agreed without hesitation.
There were still many items they needed to buy for the two apartments, and this furniture store had a comprehensive selection. They would definitely be back in the coming days.
"Nuannuan, please add her," Qin Tian said to Xia Nuannuan beside him.
"Okay!" Xia Nuannuan replied with a sweet smile, taking out her phone to exchange contact details with the sales assistant.
"Alright, please take care on your way out," the sales assistant said, pushing the door open for them after putting away her phone.
"Thank you," Xia Nuannuan said gratefully with a beaming smile.
After leaving the furniture store, the two drove home.
Before heading back, they stopped by a large supermarket to purchase daily necessities.
Pushing a shopping cart, they began browsing the aisles.
First on their list were slippers; they needed several pairs for both winter and summer, to be placed in the shoe cabinets of each apartment's entryway.
Xia Nuannuan took charge of selecting the slippers, while Qin Tian pushed the cart and followed.
She was enjoying herself immensely, carefully choosing each style of slipper and occasionally turning to ask for Qin Tian's opinion.
They felt like a young couple who had just moved in together, stocking their new home, and each item they added to the cart brought a growing sense of satisfaction and happiness.
"Are there enough socks? Should we buy some?" Xia Nuannuan asked sweetly, pointing to the socks nearby.
"Let's buy a few, just in case," Qin Tian nodded.
Xia Nuannuan pecked his head in acknowledgment and resumed her search for socks, picking out white ones for herself and a few black pairs for Qin Tian.
"Brother, when Siqi and the others come over in a couple of days, let's cook a meal at home and invite them over!" she suddenly suggested while they were picking out items.
"That sounds great. I was thinking the same thing," Qin Tian replied with a smile.
"In that case, we'll need to buy cookware, as well as bowls, plates, and chopsticks, not to mention cooking oil, rice, salt, and all sorts of seasonings!" Xia Nuannuan listed on her fingers.
"Let's get all of that. Let's get my place fully set up first. We can wake up earlier tomorrow and get the appliances like the refrigerator and air conditioner arranged," Qin Tian said.
"Mmm, it feels like there's still so much to do. Will we have enough time?"
"Don't worry, we will," Qin Tian reassured her.
...
...
After two full shopping cart loads, with every available space filled, they finally drove home.
Fortunately, their previous luggage had already been moved upstairs, freeing up plenty of space.
As they neared the residential complex, the delivery drivers called.
Qin Tian quickly asked them to wait a moment and sped back to the complex.
The drivers and their delivery truck were already waiting downstairs. Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan hurried over.
Qin Tian took out a pack of cigarettes from the car and handed them out to the drivers.
While smoking, they discussed how to move the beds upstairs and whether the elevator was large enough.
The beds were still disassembled parts, but unfortunately, the round beds Qin Tian had chosen were exceptionally large, with each component being quite imposing.
After some discussion, the drivers decided it would be best to go the extra mile and carry each part up through the stairwell.
While this would be slower, it was the only feasible option.
Once their cigarettes were finished, the drivers, true to their word, prepared to begin the task.
"I'll carry this one!" Qin Tian said, pointing to the headboard part of the bed, addressing the drivers.
"Sir, please don't. You just need to go up and open the door. We'll handle it; this is very heavy," one of the drivers politely refused.
They had encountered many bosses like him who, while claiming to want to help, often ended up being more of a hindrance, making their job harder.
Moreover, this young man didn't look like he was suited for manual labor.
"It's alright, I'm quite strong," Qin Tian said with a smile.
The drivers exchanged glances, harboring doubts.
If the young man hadn't been so polite earlier, they might have already shown signs of impatience.
"Sir, really, you don't need to. We can manage," the driver reiterated with a smile.
Qin Tian could sense their skepticism and didn't bother with further explanations. He simply crouched down and picked up the headboard section.
To the astonished gaze of the drivers, he lifted it directly and casually placed it onto his shoulder.
"Alright, I'll head up first. I'll wait for you guys upstairs," Qin Tian said with a smile to the dumbfounded drivers, then turned and walked towards the stairwell.
Xia Nuannuan, amused, quickly trotted over to help open the stairwell door.
"Cough, cough... we misjudged him. We really misjudged him! This young man is indeed quite strong!"
"Yeah, it's strange, isn't it? He doesn't look like it!"
"We can't even move that thing by ourselves, and he's doing it with such ease!"
"He's about the same age as my son. My son grunts and groans for half a day just carrying a bottle of water. Look at this kid, sigh!"
"Enough with the chatter. Let's go. We shouldn't keep the young man waiting and let him laugh at us."
...
After both beds were moved upstairs and assembled, it was completely dark.
Qin Tian had considered inviting the drivers for a meal nearby, but they all politely declined, citing the need to get home for dinner.
After the drivers left, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan tidied up the scene together.
They collected the cardboard boxes and ropes, consolidating them before taking them downstairs to the trash bins.
Xia Nuannuan, meanwhile, used the newly purchased broom and mop to clean the floor.
The washing machine hadn't been bought yet, and the delivered bedding couldn't be washed and dried. They decided to put it on directly, planning to sleep in their clothes for the night and go shopping for appliances and furniture the next day.
By the time they finished, it was past seven o'clock.
Feeling hungry, they went out to a small dish restaurant outside the complex, ordered several dishes and rice, and enjoyed a hearty meal.
After eating their fill, they didn't go anywhere else and returned directly home, turning on the central air conditioning in the room.
Qin Tian stretched out his arms and lay straight on the large round bed, letting out a languid sigh.
Xia Nuannuan looked at him with a smile.
"Come here, let's rest together!" Qin Tian said, patting the space beside him on the bed with his right hand.
"No way!" Xia Nuannuan firmly shook her head, her expression conveying that she saw right through him.
