After leaving school, the two returned home.
The house was mostly set up. Besides a simple and stylish single-row sofa in the living room, there was also a comfortable lazy sofa next to it.
There was only a small round coffee table in the middle, making the space feel spacious.
Qin Tian walked straight over and lay down lazily and comfortably on the lazy sofa.
Xia Nuannuan, with a beaming smile, picked up the TV remote from the coffee table and turned on the TV, switching to the news program.
"Come sit here."
Qin Tian patted his thigh and said with a smile.
"No, I'll go collect the bedsheets and duvet covers."
Xia Nuannuan decisively shook her head and refused, heading towards the bedsheets and duvet covers drying on the balcony.
The sun was good this morning, and after getting up, she had washed the bedsheets and duvet covers, which should be dry by now.
Watching Xia Nuannuan walk past him, Qin Tian suddenly reached out to grab her wrist.
Xia Nuannuan was prepared and skillfully took a step to the side, dodging him.
"Don't fool around. Watch your TV. I'll go make the bed."
"What's the point of making the bed? What, are you eager to sleep so soon?"
Qin Tian teased with a smile.
Xia Nuannuan's pretty face flushed slightly, and she gave him a look of disdain.
They had been sleeping together for the past two days. At her strong insistence, they both wore pajamas. However, someone's hands were quite mischievous, and she had suffered quite a bit.
Now, she understood Qin Tian's mischievous intentions more and more. With just a sly smile or a glance, she could sense what bad things Qin Tian was planning.
"Nuannuan."
"Hmm?"
Xia Nuannuan replied as she collected the bedsheet from the clothesline.
"Say, should we get a dog or a cat?"
Qin Tian asked loudly, leaning back on the sofa.
"Get a dog? Sure, but then we'd have to come home every day."
"It's fine, we're close anyway."
"Then what do you want to get?"
"Haven't decided yet. What do you think? Do you prefer cats or dogs?"
"Hmm... both are good. I quite like animals."
Xia Nuannuan was also having trouble deciding.
"Then when we have time during the holiday, let's go to the pet store together!"
Qin Tian suggested.
"Okay!"
Xia Nuannuan agreed with a sweet smile.
"I'll go cut some fruit. Hurry up, and we can watch a movie together later."
Qin Tian got up and said.
"Okay!"
Xia Nuannuan agreed with a smile and sped up.
Qin Tian walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out some of the fruits they bought at the supermarket yesterday, washed them, skillfully cut them into pieces, put them into a clean plate, drizzled them with yogurt, and finally grabbed a fork.
When he brought the fruit plate to the living room, Xia Nuannuan had just finished making the bed and came out of the bedroom.
"Quick, come!"
Qin Tian waved, placed the fruit plate on the small round coffee table, then walked over and turned off the main living room light, instantly creating an atmosphere.
The TV was the top-of-the-line model they had spent a lot of money on, with currently first-class clarity. It was quite enjoyable for watching dramas and movies.
After sitting down, they chose a very classic foreign romance movie.
Xia Nuannuan took off her slippers, put on her socks, and lay on her side on the sofa, using Qin Tian's thigh as a pillow, leaning back comfortably and lazily.
Qin Tian held the fruit plate in his hand and fed her a piece of apple with a fork.
Xia Nuannuan happily opened her mouth to eat it, her eyes curved as she looked at the TV screen.
"You know how to enjoy yourself!"
Qin Tian looked down at her and said with a sly smile.
"Hehe..."
Xia Nuannuan giggled happily.
"I want a lap pillow too, and someone to feed me!"
Qin Tian showed a look of longing.
"Let me enjoy it first, and then we can switch, okay?"
Xia Nuannuan said with a gentle smile.
"I can go for that!"
Qin Tian nodded with a smile.
The movie had also started, and neither of them spoke further. They ate fruit and quietly enjoyed the movie.
After watching for a while, they switched positions. Qin Tian also enjoyed Xia Nuannuan's lap pillow and feeding service, and the viewing experience was simply wonderful.
...
...
One morning, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan went to a nearby supermarket and bought various ingredients, as well as snacks and alcoholic beverages.
At 7:30 PM, the lecture hall had its first evening roll call of the year. Most students who had no reason to be absent were expected to be on campus.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan planned to invite everyone from their two dormitories to their place for dinner and a gathering before the evening roll call.
Returning home, they put away the purchased items and sorted them into the refrigerator. Qin Tian then drove with Xia Nuannuan to the school.
After dropping Xia Nuannuan off at the girls' dormitory, Qin Tian returned to the boys' dormitory.
Entering dorm 208, he saw Chen Zhuang standing like a mountain, cleaning his wardrobe.
"Brother Tian!"
Upon seeing Qin Tian enter, Chen Zhuang excitedly walked up and gave him a powerful bear hug.
Fortunately, Qin Tian had a strong physique. If it had been Cao Mingliang, he would have been crying out in pain.
"When did you arrive?"
Qin Tian pushed him away and asked with a smile.
"Just arrived not long ago. Want some sauerkraut? I brought several bottles. Let me tell you, the sauerkraut from my hometown is really delicious and goes well with rice."
Chen Zhuang pointed to several jars filled with sauerkraut on his desk and said with a chuckle.
"There's no rice now, so let's skip it!"
Qin Tian shook his head with amusement.
"That's true! Alright, we'll talk about it during dinner. I also brought red sausages and bean paste. You guys are in for a treat for a while."
Chen Zhuang grinned.
Qin Tian nodded with a smile and asked, "Where are they? Didn't Zhuang Zhe arrive yesterday?"
"I don't know. No one was in the dorm when I arrived. But the door was ajar. Maybe they went to buy something or are out doing something."
Chen Zhuang replied.
"Where's your girlfriend? Has she arrived?"
"You mean Siqi?"
"Who else? Do you have other girlfriends?"
"Hehe... No way. Siqi's train arrived this morning, so she should be here too."
"Mm, then hurry up and get cleaned up. Come to my place for dinner before the evening roll call."
Qin Tian invited.
"Your place?"
Chen Zhuang blinked.
"It's the house that Xia Nuannuan and I bought together. We finished setting it up these past few days. I'll cook a few dishes later, and we can have dinner and a gathering. Help me christen the house."
Qin Tian explained with a smile.
"Oh, oh, that's great! I'm starving right now and was planning to go to the cafeteria for something to eat. But now, I'll just wait for your feast!"
Chen Zhuang patted his stomach and said with a shameless smile.
"Just don't starve yourself."
Qin Tian rolled his eyes with a wry smile.
A moment later, Zhuang Zhe also returned. Seeing the two of them, he quickly greeted them.
"Brother Tian, Brother Zhuang, you're both here!"
"Ah Zhe, where were you?"
Chen Zhuang asked with a smile.
"Tian Jing had a lot of luggage, so I went to help her move it."
Zhuang Zhe replied calmly.
"Yo yo, that's good. On the first day of school, you couldn't wait to meet her, huh!"
Chen Zhuang teased with a grin.
Zhuang Zhe ignored him and looked at Qin Tian, saying, "Brother Tian, the two stocks you told me to buy have been rising these past few days. When should we sell them?"
"Wait another two days. They should still go up a bit."
Qin Tian replied with a smile.
Zhuang Zhe nodded and said nothing more, fully trusting his judgment.
