132. Congratulations on moving in.
There was another reason for choosing this place. There happened to be an unoccupied paid parking space downstairs. This was very rare in the high-density residential area around the university.
After paying the deposit and signing a one-year contract, Qin Yang went home and drove the Jaguar he had parked at home.
On the weekend, the two drove to IKEA and picked out new curtains, shower curtains, toiletries, balcony plants, pots and pans …
"You bought so many kitchen utensils. Do you want to cook for yourself?" He Jin flipped through the woven bag full of things. He was a little hesitant about the practicality of these things.
Qin Yang raised his eyebrows. "I bought them for you. Cook for me."
He Jin was a person who believed that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. He raised his hand and said, "I'll make it clear first. I don't know how to cook. At most, I can only cook rice with an electric rice cooker!"
Qin Yang suddenly grabbed his shoulder and twisted his neck. He moved closer to He Jin's ear and said softly in a low voice, "Genius, you can learn if you don't know how to cook. You're so smart. I don't believe you can't learn."
He Jin was shocked by his sudden movement and stiffened. Qin Yang quickly backed away, but the lingering romantic feeling did not dissipate for a long time.
The people around him were all young office workers and young couples who were preparing to start a new family. This warm atmosphere also made He Jin feel an indescribable sense of shyness.
He Jin realized that in some aspects, his spending power and values were still very different from Qin Yang's. For example, chairs. He Jin felt that it was fine as long as it was practical, but Qin Yang wanted beautiful and comfortable ones. He picked two Avica leather swivel chairs. The total price was ten thousand. He Jin was deeply shocked.
However, he also thought it through. Without Qin Yang, he would not have earned the four hundred thousand prize money from the game competition. So, even if he used all the money to understand Qin Yang's views on spending, he would not be reluctant.
Since the two of them were going to live together, if he asked Qin Yang to accommodate him and lower his requirements for the quality of life because of a little pride, He Jin would feel that he was stingy.
After shopping for most of the day, the two of them returned at three in the afternoon with a car full of things.
They huffed and puffed as they carried the things up to the third floor. It was neither too high nor too low. In winter, the lowest sunlight level was four hours. It was the best floor. After resting for a while, the two of them began to divide the work.
Qin Yang even brought his Bose stereo over from home. He assembled the stereo and connected his wristband. He asked He Jin, who was cleaning up in the kitchen, "Honey, what song do you want to listen to?"
He Jin's hand paused. He always felt an indescribable sense of shyness when Qin Yang called him "wife." Although he had been called that in different situations, in-game, in text messages, and even in bed … Now that he heard Qin Yang's ardent and slightly attached tone, He Jin inexplicably felt as though his gender had been confused. It was as though they were really married and he had really become Qin Yang's wife.
"Whatever!" He Jin's cheeks were slightly hot, and he continued to pour hot water to disinfect the new kitchenware.
An English song with a light rhythm drifted out from the bedroom. Along with the afternoon sun, the song surrounded the messy nest.
"Amas kisses easily placed, on a bed and a brokenface …"
"… My scarsiness, from the people who are on my side …"
He Jin subconsciously swayed his body to the beat. He placed the sterilized bowls and chopsticks in the leaky basket. Qin Yang was in the bedroom assembling the chair and bookshelf he had bought, humming along to the song.
"Rollingup mystical leaveofightagainst, all the thingsilockedup, and all the thingsifenced …"
"Utit 'stimetoletitout, sowecan built a new newcastle …"
The next day, the mattress, quilt, and pillows they had bought online arrived.
After busying themselves for a few days, they finally finished decorating their new home. The light blue striped curtains, the Zakka-style bed with the same color slippers, and the ivory carpet — the color scheme of the two boys' house was a little monotonous. However, the coffee table in the living room, the bedside table in the bedroom, and the window sill in the kitchen were decorated with some green plants. Cotoneaster, green dandelion, asparagus … It was a sight to behold.
The new house had the smell of new furniture and bedsheets. The two of them stayed there for a few days. When the weather was good, He Jin would come over to dry the quilt. When they decided to officially move in, it was already the beginning of May.
After deciding on a Saturday, He Jin woke up early. While the entire campus was still asleep, Qin Yang drove the car over and carried the simple luggage they had packed to their new home.
"Hey, do you want to invite a friend over for dinner?" Qin Yang hugged He Jin excitedly in order to celebrate the move.
He Jin was a little embarrassed. "No need, this kind of thing …"
"What's wrong with this kind of thing?" Qin Yang leaned over and hugged him. "It's not like we can't be seen. I don't care about other people, but don't you want to invite Hou Dongyan over? He also knows that you moved out to live with me. At least you have to let him feel at ease. "
Qin Yang's suggestion was not unreasonable. He Jin originally had the idea of completely escaping from reality. He wanted to cut off all social connections and isolate himself from the world for this person. However, this was not realistic. He could not not even have a friend.
"Alright, let's invite Hou Dongyan." He Jin compromised.
"Then I'll invite Old Bai and Zhang Xiao over. The five of us can have a gathering." Qin Yang laughed.
"Zhang Xiao?" He Jin was stunned. "The one who smoked the most. Your high school classmate?"
"Yes, the person who competed with me last semester. You saw him at the KTV at the beginning of the year."
"I don't know him very well." If it was just an ordinary meeting, He Jin would not be afraid of strangers. However, they wanted others to visit their 'new home'. This made He Jin feel very uncomfortable.
Qin Yang explained, "Jiang Baijian and Zhang Xiao both know that I'm with you. They won't say anything, especially Zhang Xiao. He knew that I was waiting for you a long time ago. After I posted the photo on WeChat, he guessed it and even congratulated me."
Speaking of the photo, He Jin was a little angry. However, he did not want to fight with Qin Yang, so he could only say, "Up to you."
"Are you unhappy?" Here, no one could control them anymore. Qin Yang impudently kissed the corner of He Jin's eyes and ears like a large, clingy dog. "If you're unhappy, I won't let him come."
Once Qin Yang clung to him, He Jin was at his wit's end. He smiled helplessly and surrendered. "Please. They are also your friends, aren't they?"
They did it again on the first night in their new home. This kind of thing seemed to be addictive. This little nest that belonged to the two of them was like a protective shield, giving He Jin an inexplicable sense of security. He enjoyed the whole process more than the last time.
The next day, He Jin woke up in Qin Yang's arms drowsily. He did not feel embarrassed about what happened last night. He could not help but sigh. Humans were really creatures with strong adaptability. Moreover, being kissed on the eyelids by his lover and whispering good morning felt like a dream. It made He Jin fall into a trance.
After getting up, the two of them went to the nearby supermarket to buy food to entertain their friends. Like a newlywed couple, they carefully picked out daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, and snacks … It was already ten o 'clock when they got home. There were still two hours before their friends arrived. The two of them started packing like they were at war.
"How do I make this?" He Jin took out the tomatoes that Qin Yang had bought from a plastic bag.
"Uh, let's do it cold!" Qin Yang took out a chopping board and placed the tomatoes in the middle. He then took out the kitchen knife that he had just bought. Under He Jin's fearful gaze, Qin Yang violently chopped the tomato three times. Blood instantly flowed out, and the chunks of tomatoes were too horrible to look at.
Qin Yang: "…"
He Jin: "…"
Qin Yang: "Hurry up and give me a plate!"
He shoveled the tomato "corpse" into the plate and cut another one. He said smugly, "How is it? Isn't the shape better this time?"
He Jin leisurely ridiculed, "About the same."
Qin Yang: "…" He opened a new bag of white cotton candy. Qin Yang sprinkled it on the plate, and half of the tomatoes on the plate were covered in sugar.
"Can this … be eaten?" He Jin could not bear to look at it and raised his eyebrows. "Are you sure you want to entertain your guests with this?"
Qin Yang's expression did not change. "It's the thought that counts."
Alright … He Jin was speechless. He placed the plate of tomato corpses covered in snow in the middle of the dining table.
He Jin rummaged through the bag and found two cucumbers. "What about this? What are you making? "
Qin Yang touched his chin and said, "I'm taking a picture!"
Dong dong dong dong! Pa! Pa! He sprinkled sugar and poured vinegar. The second "corpse" was done — vinegar cucumbers!
Qin Yang looked at the two beautiful dishes on the table and was bursting with confidence. He poured out all the ingredients in the bag and said to He Jin, "Help me get the iPad from the room! I downloaded an app called 'Learn to Cook from Scratch' yesterday! "
"Oh …" He Jin found the iPad from the room and placed it on top of the microwave, which would not easily get wet or greasy. The two of them gathered together to order.
He Jin liked to eat sweet and sour food. He pointed at the "sweet and sour pork" on the screen and said eagerly, "This looks pretty good."
Qin Yang scrolled through the process and said embarrassedly, "This is a level four dish. It's too difficult. It's better to choose something easy since it's your first time making it."
The two of them chose the "basic" menu and entered. They were all extremely simple dishes like fried eggs, scrambled eggs, egg-fried rice, stir-fried vegetables …
"Fried eggs?" He Jin clicked on it. The tutorial video buffered and started playing. Qin Yang's eyes lit up. "This is good! I'll pause it first and do the same later. "
Qin Yang prepared the oil, salt, and seasonings. He Jin picked three fresh eggs to wash. "Why are you washing the eggs?" Qin Yang was puzzled.
He Jin frowned. "The eggs come out from the hens. They'll get dirty if I don't wash them."
Qin Yang was speechless. "But we don't eat eggshells."
He Jin: "Won't it get on the eggs when you crack them?"
Qin Yang: "…"
He Jin had never done any chores before. Now that he washed the eggs, he did not know how to crack them. He cracked them like he was peeling a tea egg, and the egg white flowed all over his hands. "Uh … It's sticky. Disgusting."
Qin Yang facepalmed. "Y-you should leave it. I'll do it."
Although he did not know how to cook, he was still better than He Jin …
Hence, He Jin became Qin Yang's assistant the entire time. He passed things and helped Qin Yang adjust the progress of the video.
"Hey, you played it too fast. I didn't see it clearly. Rewind it a little." "Here?" "A little more … Ah, yes, start from here!" "Whoa! The eggs are fluffy! "" Yes! It smells so good! " The two stared at the fried eggs in the non-stick pan. They were so excited that it was like they had turned the eggs into gold.
A plate of fried eggs was finally made after a lot of hard work. Qin Yang placed the eggs on a plate and handed it to He Jin. He Jin received it with both hands, his eyes sparkling. "It's great!"
Qin Yang played with the spatula like he was playing with a tennis racket and said smugly, "Is Hubby awesome?"
He Jin frowned and suddenly thought of something. He asked, "Hey, did you put salt in it?"
The corners of Qin Yang's eyes twitched. "Uh, I don't think so."
He Jin dug a hole with his chopsticks and tasted it. "You didn't … Should I pour some soy sauce?"
Qin Yang: "Good idea!"
…
Soon, it was close to midnight. There was a knock on the door from outside. Qin Yang's wristband also rang. His friends had arrived! In two hours, Qin Yang and He Jin had only made four dishes, and two of them were cold dishes!
He Jin opened the door nervously as he looked at the strangely shaped cold tomatoes, vinegar cucumbers, a fried egg with a corner missing, and the stir-fried shredded cabbage and pork with Lao Gan Ma on it.
Jiang Baijian and Zhang Xiao arrived together. They greeted each other and shouted before entering the door, "What is this? It smells so good!"
It was the smell of fried eggs. He Jin welcomed them in like a real host and made each of them a cup of bagged milk tea.
"Damn, this thing!" Zhang Xiao stared at the four dishes on the table and was very disappointed.
He Jin hurriedly brought out roast duck, roast goose, and braised pork …
"Wow!" Zhang Xiao's expression changed instantly. She pointed at the dishes in shock and asked, "You guys made all these? That's too awesome! "
He Jin said honestly, "I bought cooked food from the supermarket."
Zhang Xiao, "…"
Soon, Hou Dongyan also arrived. He did not pay as much attention to the dishes on the table as Zhang Xiao and Jiang Baijian. He first curiously looked around their new residence.
"It's really nice. It looks so warm!" Hou Dongyan's thoughts were originally very pure until he accidentally saw a used condom in the trash can at the foot of the bed when he was looking around the bedroom. Hou Dongyan's worldview collapsed and he became very upset!
… Pervert Qin, give me back my pure and abstinent Brother Jin!!!
It was time for dinner. The five of them sat around the small dining table and clinked glasses.
Jiang Baijian was the first to say, "Congratulations on your move. Give us more chances to freeload meals in the future!"
Zhang Xiao said, "I wish you a happy wedding!"
Everyone, "Pfft …"
He Jin was embarrassed by Zhang Xiao's inappropriate "congratulations". Zhang Xiao coughed lightly and said seriously, "He Jin, we didn't know each other before. Let's get to know each other properly. My name is Zhang Xiao, Qin Yang's high school classmate. We are not in the same year, but we played tennis together in high school and have a good relationship. I knew this guy had someone he liked for many years, but I didn't expect it to be you. How should I put it? Qin Yang's boyfriend is my man … Eh? Oh my, that doesn't sound right! "
Everyone laughed. Qin Yang toasted with him again. "Alright, you can't even straighten your tongue, so stop talking!"
Finally, it was Hou Dongyan's turn. Hou Dongyan raised his glass and looked at He Jin. He said sincerely, "Brother Jin, I don't know what to say either. Anyway, as long as you're happy."
As long as he was happy. That was the most honest sentence.
One should enjoy life to the fullest. Who would not hesitate to enjoy their youth?
