Chapter 1422: Beginning the Cohabitation Life (1)

After chatting with everyone for a while, Zhou Qi took Xiao Rou upstairs to the room where she rested last night: "You stay here temporarily, if you need anything, I’ll go with you to get it after dinner."

"Okay, thank you, I still want to go to the shop in the afternoon, it’s not good to leave Qingqing alone."

Xiao Rou said this, and Zhou Qi didn’t stop her. Although Xiao Rou seemed fine now, the image of her pale face this morning was still deeply etched in Zhou Qi’s mind.

It’s good to let her be busy for a bit, at least she won’t have time to overthink.

"Okay, after dinner, shall I accompany you over there?"

"No need, I can go on my own, it’s not far anyway."

Zhou Qi didn’t say much more; when Xiao Rou had made up her mind, he naturally wouldn’t intervene excessively.

Zhou Qi turned and left, Xiao Rou sat on the bed, looking at this small room, with the bag just brought back on the table. Xiao Rou got up and took out the floppy-eared rabbit toy inside.

She looked at it for a while and couldn’t help but laugh. The toy itself is unintentional; what’s meaningful is the person who gave the toy.

Xiao Rou placed the floppy-eared rabbit on the pillow, suddenly feeling that the entire room’s atmosphere was different.

Heading downstairs for dinner, naturally, there was joking and teasing among the young ones at the table. Several times, Xiao Rou laughed until her stomach hurt; it was the first time she realized her laugh points were so low.

After dinner, Xiao Rou went to the milk tea shop by herself.

Lunch break wasn’t over yet. Watching Xiao Rou walk away, Ah Wai suddenly blurted out, "I say, if Xiao moves in, does that mean she and Brother Qi are living together now?"

"Pfft..."

Someone was drinking water and sprayed it.

Though the others didn’t spray, they all looked at him uniformly, including Zhou Qi.

Everyone seemed to look at Ah Wai like he was an idiot.

Living together?

Is there such a way of living together?

Ah Shuang walked over to Ah Wai, placing a hand on his shoulder: "Not quite, living together means a man and a woman living together, understand?"

Ah Wai blinked and nodded, Ah Shuang released him, and everyone planned to relax a bit before preparing for the afternoon training. Suddenly, they heard Ah Wai speak again: "So what’s this now? Cohabiting?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Ellipsis, ellipsis again.

If life had special effects, everyone’s head at this moment would definitely be topped with ellipses.

Standing next to Ah Wai, yet to take two steps away, Ah Shuang wore the look of "my family has a silly nephew," patting Ah Wai’s shoulder: "Bro, no one’s forcing you to speak."

Ah Wai innocently blinked; though he also felt his words were odd, but... was he wrong?

Consequently, Ah Wai, convinced he wasn’t wrong, ended up being teased by someone for the entire afternoon.

Over at Xiao Rou’s side, as Zhou Qi predicted, once she got busy, she completely had no time to think about the morning’s incident.

When she finally got some downtime, Xu Qingqing approached Xiao Rou with a small notebook: "Rourou, there’s something I want to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

"I’ve calculated that if we continue to run the shop like we currently are, we’ll be losing money each month."

Xu Qingqing said, handing her small notebook to Xiao Rou, speaking rapidly, which left Xiao Rou understanding some parts, while other parts were confusing.

Academically, she was more qualified than Xu Qingqing, but some matters truly aren’t about education level; Xu Qingqing had far more experience in this aspect.
