Chapter 144 Spinning in Circles
Li Yiran felt that Li Yuxin was simply worrying too much. How could there be any problems in her relationship with Chen Ke? They had been separated for three years and couldn't see each other often, and there had been no problems. Now that they were ending their long-distance relationship and were together every day, how could there be any problems in their relationship?
She smiled but said nothing, responding to her friend's groundless worry with silence.
"Yiran, help me get a pair of underwear!"
"Hey! Right away!" Li Yiran hurried into the bedroom and rummaged through the closet. "Yuxin, I have something to do right now. I'm hanging up now!"
"Me!" Li Yuxin rolled her eyes at the hung-up phone. "I haven't finished yet! And what about Chen Ke? Is he a three-year-old? He didn't even remember to take his underwear when taking a bath!"
Before going to bed, Li Yiran snuggled in Chen Ke's arms, muttering about moving.
"How do you say we should bring the bread?"
Chen Ke was stunned for a moment before realizing that Li Yiran was talking about the cat he gave her, which Li Yiran named "Bread".
However, he didn't expect Li Yiran to ask such a question. In his heart, he had already agreed to give the cat away, otherwise it would be too troublesome to bring it over. But now the atmosphere was so good, he couldn't bring himself to ask Li Yiran to throw the cat away.
"When the time comes, we'll fly back and just check it in with the airline."
Li Yiran sat up excitedly. She hadn't expected her boyfriend to have thought of the cat's shipping method in advance. She couldn't help but kiss Chen Ke on the lips. "Chen Ke, you're so kind!"
Chen Ke was secretly delighted. The atmosphere had become so good. He touched Li Yiran's slender waist under her clothes and turned over to cling to Li Yiran's body.
meow~
The little kitten at the door saw something it shouldn't have seen and cried out in guilt.
In the airport, among the pedestrians coming and going, Li Yiran and Li Yuxin hugged each other, and both of their eyes were slightly red.
"Okay, stop crying. If someone doesn't know me, they would think I'm a human trafficker." Chen Ke tried to ease the atmosphere.
Li Yuxin cursed in her heart: You'd better not let my friend suffer, otherwise you will be no different from a human trafficker!
Li Yiran was amused by her boyfriend's humor and said shyly, "How can there be a human trafficker as good as you..."
Chen Ke was still living on campus; due to time constraints, he hadn't rented a place yet. When Li Yiran arrived in Andu, the provincial capital of his hometown, she had no choice but to stay in a cheap hotel.
"Yiran, don't worry. Once I finish my graduation defense, I'll go out and find you a house. I'm sorry I've wronged you these past few days, so just stay here for now."
Li Yiran verbally agreed to Chen Ke's proposal, but she knew he was already swamped with his graduation thesis. If he failed the defense, Chen Ke would lose the job he had worked so hard to secure. So, early the next morning, she searched online for rentals, looking only at properties near Chen Ke's workplace. After scheduling viewings with the landlords, she began inspecting and shortlisting properties one by one, ultimately viewing over ten properties in a single day.
Her favorite is a two-bedroom house, with a small second bedroom that can be used for storage. Her second choice is a cozy-looking studio apartment, which rents slightly lower than a two-bedroom apartment. However, the utility bills are more expensive in a studio apartment than in a house, and cooking with natural gas is prohibited, requiring an induction cooker.
Li Yiran had been cooking in a small rice cooker in her dorm room for four years. Her biggest wish was to one day cook over an open flame. So after graduation, she shared an apartment with strangers, which allowed her to cook over an open flame and save her money on rent.
The day after viewing the apartment, Li Yiran called the landlord of the two-bedroom apartment, explained her financial situation, and asked for a lower rent. The landlord, a generous woman from Northeast China, immediately agreed to a 500 yuan discount on the rent upon hearing that Li Yiran, a southern girl, had bravely come to the north for her boyfriend. Li Yiran was overjoyed; with this price reduction, the two-bedroom apartment was actually cheaper than the studio apartment.
The two hit it off and signed a contract immediately. The lease term was three years, with a one-year deposit and one-month payment.
"Yiran, I passed the defense!"
Li Yiran was packing her belongings in her rental apartment when she received Chen Ke's call. After deciding where to stay, she called Li Yuxin to have all her belongings in Hangzhou shipped to Andu. They chose Deppon Express, and the deliveryman was incredibly friendly. He carried everything upstairs and placed it in the designated area according to Li Yiran's requirements. This put Li Yiran's mind at ease.
"Congratulations! I've already rented a place. I'll send you the location on WeChat. Are you free to come over now?"
"Not right now. I have dinner with my classmates and mentors tonight. Send me the location first, and I'll go there early tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, then when you're done tonight, remember to send me a message."
Li Yiran gave a few more instructions with concern before hanging up the phone.
Some of the classmates who knew about the relationship between Chen Keke and Li Yiran started to urge Chen Ke to call Li Yiran over. Chen Ke blushed and asked everyone to stop making fun of him.
That night, Chen Ke remembered Li Yiran's advice and ate more food and drank less alcohol, but his friends still forced him to drink quite a bit. The next day, he collapsed in bed, unable to get up, and even turned off all the alarms on his phone.
Li Yiran didn't call him either. He knew that she must be considerate of him because he had gone to a dinner party last night and didn't want to disturb him. She was always so considerate.
Chen Ke fell asleep again with a smile on his face. When he almost woke up, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
He took his time and ate something simple to fill his stomach, waiting to have the big meal cooked by Li Yiran in the evening.
By the time he arrived downstairs, it was already past 4 p.m. Li Yiran was already waiting downstairs, and when she saw Chen Ke coming, she ran over happily.
"Chen Ke!"
Li Yiran rushed to Chen Ke and leaped lightly, but he caught her. Then, she received a kiss on each cheek and was asked to spin in circles.
At that moment, Chen Ke and Li Yiran both thought that they were the happiest people in the world. They loved each other so much that they would surely grow old together.
Lost in memories, Chen Ke couldn't help but burst into tears in Mei Ling'er's live broadcast room.
[This man must love that girl to the core. Just mentioning her name makes him cry like this.]
If he says they love each other, why doesn't the girl want to marry him? Could it be that the boy did something wrong to her?
[It may be that girls have betrayed their direct feelings. Why are they always so hostile to us men? ]
Everyone, calm down. Keep reading and you'll find out the truth. We're all adults now, so stop being so judgmental.
