Chapter 163: The War between Cotton Socks and Silk Stockings. _2
"Same with you my foot, I already said I'm just moving in by myself."
Xu Musen packed up his things.
"Stop pretending, I think it's just a matter of time, but have you two made it official yet?"
"This is like trying before buying, if I'm not satisfied, I could just return it without a reason..." Zhou Hangyu chuckled weirdly.
Ma Yaxing scratched his head, "I think it's better to make it official sooner rather than later, to be responsible for the girl. That way, even if you're cohabiting, it's all aboveboard."
Xu Musen couldn't be bothered with them, but speaking of status...
Xu Musen always felt that he and An Nuannuan were now no different from some of the other young couples.
Moreover, Nuannuan seemed to have no resistance to some actions that clearly went beyond friendship.
At least it showed that she had a favorable impression of him, because the subconscious reactions of the body can't lie.
Even when he had just been reborn and kept Yao Mingyue at arm's length mentally,
His body was still very honest once he came into contact with her.
It was a kind of conditioned reflex, completely outside the control of the brain.
But there's still a difference between having a good impression and liking someone.
If I don't handle it well, wouldn't I just become a clown again?
Xu Musen thought about the scenes with her at the furniture mall that day.
Actually, he wasn't resistant to An Nuannuan's approach either, was he?
Which means, deep down, they both had a fondness for each other.
Maybe he really could take the initiative...
Xu Musen shouldered the quilt, while several people carried other items, and they all went with Xu Musen to the milk tea shop.
The newly delivered bedding needed to be washed before use.
Tonight, he'd use his own.
As soon as they entered the shop, a few people saw An Nuannuan and immediately started giggling.
"Congratulations to Boss Xu on the housewarming and starting a new life."
"Madam, Boss Xu likes to hug something while sleeping. We can't accompany him anymore, that's for you to take care of."
"Safe travels, may you have..."
"Scram, scram, scram, if there's nothing else, take the quilt to the dry cleaners."
Xu Musen interrupted them irritably, placing the twisted-up quilt first on the bed.
Luckily An Nuannuan seemed not to understand these words, just noticing Xu Musen moving in with luggage, her eyes sparkled.
The school had a dry cleaning store, Xu Musen decided to have the new sheets and quilt cover washed first.
In the store, Xu Musen's luggage was placed in a small room.
An Nuannuan curiously looked over Xu Musen's things.
Actually, there wasn't much stuff, not even many clothes.
Many boys typically only had a couple of outfits per season, especially when it came to underpants; they wouldn't dream of changing the old ones until they were absolutely unserviceable.
An Nuannuan eyed his clothes and some personal effects, walking over with the intention of helping him to tidy up.
Zhao Lianmai also came over to look, noting An Nuannuan's difficulty moving step by step with a crutch.
"Nuannuan, let me take care of it."
Zhao Lianmai stepped in, wanting to help arrange the bedding and his clothes.
"No need, I can do it myself," An Nuannuan shook her head, hobbling with her crutch, folding Xu Musen's clothes neatly before placing them in the wardrobe.
An Nuannuan usually spoke in a gentle manner, but her tone right now didn't leave room for negotiation.
Although there wasn't much stuff, it was a big project for An Nuannuan, who relied on crutches.
After folding Xu Musen's clothes, she went to the restroom and arranged the towels and toothbrushes as well.
She also took out her own set; their cups and toothbrushes were identical save for the colors.
That way, if she didn't feel like going back to the dorm after a meal, she could occasionally come here to wash her face and brush her teeth, she reasoned.
With that thought, An Nuannuan placed their toothbrush sets together, neatly aligned.
Zhao Lianmai silently observed.
Is this... possessiveness?
Zhao Lianmai watched An Nuannuan, who still limped along with a crutch.
The first step for a girl who likes a boy is to manifest that possessiveness.
But their relationship seemed to have never quite been defined.
Moreover... Zhao Lianmai just saw the furniture and newly placed toiletries in the room, clearly meant for two people.
Perhaps, this room might indeed accommodate two people in the future...
She sighed quietly, replaced the door and turned back to continue selling milk tea in the shop.
In the room.
An Nuannuan's gaze returned to the quilt Xu Musen had brought back.
She sat down on the edge of the bed, unfolded the rolled-up quilt, and began to make the bed.
To others, arranging bed sheets and quilt covers was a simple task, but for An Nuannuan it was quite a physical challenge.
After painstakingly smoothing out the sheet, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and picked up Xu Musen's pillow to arrange it.
But on the underside of the pillow, there seemed to be something bulging. Enjoy new stories from empire
Out of curiosity, she picked it up, unzipped it, and a pair of socks fell out.
White cotton socks, with a little rabbit pattern.
An Nuannuan recognized them at a glance, the socks she had once given to him.
Her cheeks flushed.
She remembered Xu Musen always adamantly claiming he wasn't a pervert and had no interest in such things.
But his body was honest, wasn't it?
Keeping socks under his pillow...
"Pervert..." An Nuannuan murmured softly; she glanced at her own feet in sandals.
He did like to nibble on feet.
She picked up her socks, hesitating whether to take them back or pretend she hadn't seen anything.
