Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Officially Living Together

As she entered, Jian Zhiqing had already fetched water and started cleaning on his own, unlike some young men nowadays who don’t even wash their socks. He was very proficient in doing these chores, indicating that he must be used to it.

Qin Xiangnuan neatly spread out the bedding and laid the sheets before tucking the quilt into the cover. The quilt cover featured British plaid, which she quite liked. It was simple and generous in style, and not many people used such a design at that time.

These were items she bought from the system, made from pure cotton and quite substantial. Not to mention other aspects, since people spend a third of their life in bed and will likely end their days in one as well, she believed in making it as comfortable as possible.

Qin Xiangnuan paid close attention to such details regularly and was rather particular, ever since her family’s living conditions improved. She began using good quality bedding and would bite the bullet on the cost, no matter how expensive it was within the system.

The yellow and black British plaid was unisex, with clean patterns and elegant textures, particularly when a full set was spread out. Just looking at it was very pleasing and comfortable.

"This is quite nice."

As expected, Jian Zhiqing liked it too. He touched the quilt, padded it down, and felt how fluffy and soft it was. It seemed that the cotton was newly fluffed, and there was a faint fragrance of roasted cotton fabric with a hint of laundry detergent smell, indicating it had been washed and was very clean.

He opened his suitcase and took out his clothes, hanging them up one by one.

Zou Xiangnuan felt that this was something she didn’t need to help with, as she still had to wash the pots.

"Nuannuan, wait a second."

Seeing her walk away, Jian Zhiqing called out to her.

"Hmm?" Qin Xiangnuan tilted her head. "Is there something you need, Brother Jian?"

"Yes, there is," Jian Zhiqing approached and straightened her hair that she had tousled earlier. He saw her baby-fat cheeks were still chubby and her eyes bright, indicating she was an intelligent girl.

"Come out with me for a bit later."

"Alright," Qin Xiangnuan nodded, surmising that Jian Zhiqing probably needed to buy more things as they had just moved in. Indeed, there were many things to prepare, and she sighed helplessly.

They had just moved into her house.

With a rent of fifty yuan a month including three meals a day, she was actually making a profit. But she would rather not earn this money than live under the same roof as Jian Zhiqing. He had a sort of charisma that she found irresistible, every single time.

She finished washing the pot and cleaning up the kitchen, then went into her room and applied some ointment to her hands. Her chilblains were getting less frequent, but her hands still chapped in the winter, causing an uncomfortable itching.

She opened her closet, which was quite empty and lacked nice clothes. Most of her clothes were self-made or several years old. She picked out one that was relatively new, put it on along with a hat and a scarf, and thought to herself that she should pay close attention to the route when going out with Jian Zhiqing, making sure not to get lost.

"Nuannuan, are you ready?" Jian Zhiqing was already urging her from outside.

"Ready," responded Qin Xiangnuan, as she picked up the small bag that she had made.

Her clothes were not very new, but they had a novel design. She wore a waist-fitted cotton jacket, which at a first glance seemed plain, but a closer look revealed intricate embroidery on the collar and cuffs, and even a cloth camellia flower on the chest. The large pockets on each side could hold a lot, but did not appear bulky. The cotton jacket was quite long, almost reaching her knees, but Qin Xiangnuan, being slim and petite, looked unexpectedly good in it.
