On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 19 Simple words are better than a long confession!
Now that I have the clothes, all that's left is the bedding.

As Su Yuqing turned the corner carrying the bulging bag, her canvas shoes cast tiny spots of light on the water-logged stone bricks.

She secretly glanced at Chen Mo, who was walking a little faster than her. In the shopping bag that the boy was shaking in his hand, a corner of the mint green lace skirt was peeking out from the edge of the kraft paper, swaying in the wind like a spring branch.

"The home furnishing store is on the fourth floor." Arriving at the mall, Chen Mo pressed the elevator button. The metal door reflected Su Yuqing's small movements of tugging at the hem of her skirt. She suddenly felt that the two of them were like a young couple shopping, so she was a little afraid of being seen by others, but also a little sweet.

"Just pick the one you like later. You'll be the one sleeping in the end anyway."

When I arrived at the bedding store, I saw that the lighting here was relatively warm.

The warm yellow spotlights cut the shelves into soft blocks of color. Su Yuqing ran her fingertips over a row of quilts. The cloud-like touch reminded her of the warmth of falling asleep wrapped in the breath of a boy last night.

Chen Mo followed her half a step behind, pushing a shopping cart filled with the bags of clothes he had put in before. When she bent down, her hair brushed against the lilac pillowcase, and he felt that the scene was like a newlywed couple buying household belongings.

"Is this too expensive..." Su Yuqing pinched the price tag of the washed cotton four-piece set, which had a light gray-blue edging embroidered with star and moon patterns.

"Why is it so expensive? If you like it, try it first." Chen Mo took off the silk quilt and stuffed it into Su Yuqing's arms, letting her try the feel.

Su Yuqing touched it and smiled without comment.

Thinking that Su Yuqing was not satisfied with the touch, Chen Mo continued to choose.

As a result, when he was squatting in front of the shelf comparing various fillings, Su Yuqing quietly put the silk quilt with a four-digit price tag back to its original place, picked up a much cheaper light green washed cotton quilt, and said, "This feels good."

"What's good about it? The quality is so poor."

Chen Mo finally realized that she was still put off by the price. He immediately stood up and tapped Su Yuqing's forehead with his knuckles, saying with a smile, "Don't underestimate these things. Sometimes they can really improve your sleep quality. Besides, these things are not bought just for you. If you don't stay in the guest room anymore, we can clean them and give them to guests. So it's okay to buy expensive ones."

But what he said was quite ambiguous. If you don't stay in the guest room, you can leave it for guests to use...

This seems to mean that Su Yuqing no longer lives in Chen Mo's house and can still be used by guests, but if it is said that Su Yuqing was directly promoted to the hostess of this house, there is nothing wrong with it.

Especially Chen Mo used the word "we".

At this time, Su Yuqing clearly heard two meanings, and her heart was pounding.

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Su Yuqing's reaction. Instead, he shook the sample and covered it on the display bed: "Come here and try the touch."

Su Yuqing was still in a daze when a warm big hand pulled her into the fluffy silk quilt, and a memory foam pillow was stuffed under her head.

When the boy's hot palm left her hand, he suddenly pressed it against her waist through the fabric: "Sleeping curled up is bad for the lumbar and cervical spine. This memory foam pillow can support the cervical spine."

Su Yuqing was sunken in the cloud-like bedding, looking at Chen Mo's arm muscles stretched out in smooth lines as he supported himself on the pillow, and suddenly she felt the air was filled with the sweetness of honey.

After some selection, Chen Mo finally helped Su Yuqing choose the bedding.

As the shopping cart was filled with spoils, Su Yuqing stared at the pale cherry-colored brushed quilt and whispered, "Thank you, Chen Mo..."

Suddenly the person in front stopped, and Su Yuqing subconsciously bumped into his thick back.

"From now on, there's no need to say thank you. Actions speak louder than words. You have to think about how to thank me, not just say thank you. Before you repay me, nothing can happen to you!"

Chen Mo's unreasonable second half of the sentence made Su Yuqing slightly stunned.

But she nodded anyway.

"Let's go home." The young man smiled brightly, like a ray of warm sunshine shining into the girl's already dark and damp heart, creating a harbor for her soul to dock in the sea of ​​​​heart. After paying the bill at the front desk, Chen Mo gave the store the address and asked them to deliver it as soon as possible today. Then, he picked up a few bags of clothes and set off for home with Su Yuqing.

On the way back, when I passed by the second-hand book market, the moment the stall owner opened the steamer, the sweet mist of osmanthus wine instantly filled half the street.

Chen Mo immediately went forward to buy one, held the hot rice cake in one hand, blew on it gently a few times, and then handed it to her lips.

Su Yuqing bit down on the gap torn by his fangs, and the candied osmanthus petals instantly stuck to the corner of her mouth, and were wiped off by the boy's thumb the next second.

"Is it delicious?" Chen Mo looked at Su Yuqing with a smile.

"Huff, huff, huff..." Su Yuqing cutely exhaled a few breaths of hot air before squinting her eyes and smiling, "It's very sweet and fragrant."

"Next time I'll take you to the snack street. There are more delicious foods there." Chen Mo said after taking a bite of the rice cake.

Speaking of the food street, Su Yuqing really yearned for it.

She had heard people say before that there were a lot of delicious food in the food court, but unfortunately, she was short of money and really couldn't go to such a place.

If she went with Chen Mo, she would have to spend Chen Mo's money again, which she felt was inappropriate.

Although she likes Chen Mo, she is not greedy for Chen Mo's money, but it is just an agreement made when they were young.

In a corner of the park on that spring day, that kind-hearted little boy spoke a natural yet heartwarming word...

The memory flashed back, and Su Yuqing looked at the boy's back with a dazed look.

He may have forgotten everything, but he will always remember.

After returning to the vicinity of home, Chen Mo bought a complete set of toiletries for Su Yuqing, and then returned home.

By the time they wandered back home, the bedding had already been delivered to their doorstep.

……

In the guest room, Chen Mo was kneeling on the floor putting on the quilt cover.

"Let me do it." Su Yuqing stood aside holding the newly bought pillow, watching helplessly as the boy's shoulder blades rose and fell like butterfly wings under his cotton T-shirt.

"I'll do it... I'm afraid you'll sew yourself into the quilt." Chen Mo shook out the star-moon patterned bed sheet, suddenly turned around and covered the peeping girl with the Milky Way. "Now the whole bed and the whole room are yours, until you get tired of living here..."

Simple words can go deeper into the soul than a long confession of love.

Chen Mo didn't know that every time he spoke unintentionally, it always deeply touched Su Yuqing's heart.

She suddenly turned around, and tears had already flowed from her eyes.

This is what it feels like to have a real home...

The moment Su Yuqing turned around, Chen Mo's keen sense of smell seemed to catch a subtle salty smell in the air, and at the same time he noticed the unnatural trembling of her shoulders.

"Don't be touched yet. I will settle the rent with you as usual. You can live here, but you have to think about how to repay the debt." Seeing that Su Yuqing was crying for some reason, Chen Mo immediately tried to resolve the situation with a joke.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Su Yuqing wiped her tears and turned back again. At this time, her eyes were slightly red with tears, but her face showed an extremely bright and beautiful smile. She only replied to Chen Mo with one word, "Yeah!"
