Chapter 38 Guan Guan's Housewarming Ceremony

At Room 19, Building 2202, Ode to Joy Community in Shanghai, Guan Juer rubbed her sleepy eyes, got up and opened the door, only to see Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying, who were watching TV, eating snacks and chatting in the living room.

"Good morning, Yingying, Sister Fan."

"Guan Guan, would you like some of the new snacks I bought?" Qiu Yingying asked, taking a bag of snacks from the table.

Guan Juer waved her hand to refuse, "Yingying, I'll wash up first."

Fan Shengmei smiled and said, "Go wash up quickly. It's almost ten o'clock. The breakfast is probably getting cold. I'll go heat it up for you."

"Thank you, Sister Fan." Guan Juer smiled at the two of them and walked towards the bathroom. When she just moved in yesterday, she was worried that her roommate would be difficult to get along with, but now it seems that she was overly worried.

After washing up, Guan Juer looked at the steamed buns, pickles and porridge on the table and immediately felt hungry. However, she still hurriedly asked, "Sister Fan, how much is the breakfast? I'll transfer it to you later."

"No need. We will be sisters together in the future. It's just breakfast. Don't take it too seriously." Fan Shengmei waved her hand.

Guan Juer didn't take it too seriously, but still remembered her mother's reminder and said, "Thank you Sister Fan for the breakfast, but after all, we are all working hard in Shanghai, and it's not easy for us, so we should still split the bill."

Fan Shengmei smiled and didn't say much. She was also glad that her two roommates were both easy to get along with. One was carefree, while the other was a good girl. They also had a good sense of propriety, which made her feel very comfortable.

Just after taking a sip of porridge and eating a bun, she heard the cell phone ringing in the room. Guan Juer got up and walked back to the room to pick up the phone and answered it.

He asked politely, "Hello, who are you?"

"Is there something of mine that needs to be signed for?" Guan Juer thought it was something her mother had sent over, so she didn't take it too seriously and said, "Okay, just have him send it over."

"Is there a express delivery?" Fan Shengmei asked curiously.

"Maybe it's something my mother bought for me..." Guan Juer replied casually and continued eating.

After about two minutes, the doorbell rang. Guan Juer quickly ran over to open the door and saw a man in work clothes holding two green plants.

"Hello, are you Ms. Guan Juer?"

"I'm."

"Here are the green plants your friend ordered. Please sign for them."

After Guan Juer signed, she carried the box containing two pots of green plants into the house.

"Wow, Guan Guan, what are you holding? Is it a pine tree?" Qiu Yingying asked like a curious baby, pointing at a green plant about half a meter tall.

"I'm not sure about this. I seem to have seen it somewhere before, but I forgot what it was called." Guan Juer explained a little embarrassedly.

Fan Shengmei came over to take a look and explained, "This is asparagus fern. It seems to purify the air and absorb harmful substances. It is especially effective against things like formaldehyde. It also seems to be able to resist radiation."

"Guan Guan, it seems that your aunt is a thoughtful person. This one should be placed in the room. As for this cactus, it can be placed at the company's workstation. Many of our colleagues have this." Fan Shengmei was a little envious of her little sister. Her mother called her for nothing else except to ask for money.

"Wow, this turns out to be asparagus fern. It looks so comfortable." Qiu Yingying admired the asparagus fern and liked it more and more. She thought that if this thing was not expensive, she would get one and put it in her room, which would just make her feel happy.

Guan Juer nodded in agreement, "It does look very comfortable. I'll call my mom and ask her what I need to pay attention to when raising this."

"Guan Guan, ask Auntie how much this costs. I also want to get one." Qiu Yingying quickly added.

Guan Juer nodded, picked up the phone and called her mother.

"Hey, Mom, I received the green plants you sent me. I like them very much."

"Um, what green plants?" Guan's mother asked in surprise.

"Ah, it's the asparagus fern and cactus?"

"I've never sent you this before. Could it be a mistake? I did buy you some clothes and was going to mail them to you."

Guan Juer asked uncertainly, "You really didn't buy it for me, but they asked me to sign for it?"

"Could it be a gift from your classmate or friend?"

"I understand, Mom. I'm hanging up now."

Guan Juer quickly walked to the box and took out two pots of green plants. Sure enough, she saw a small card and picked it up to take a look.

There were only a few words on it: "Housewarming Gift", and the signature was Chen An's name. Guan Juer then realized what was going on. She had guessed it just now, after all, she had only told her parents and Brother Chen about her move.

As a person who has experienced this, seeing Guan Juer holding the card with a happy smile, Fan Shengmei had some guesses in her mind, "Guan Guan, is this a gift from your boyfriend?"

Guan Juer blushed and explained, "Sister Fan, you misunderstood. He is not my boyfriend, but a very good brother."

"Hey, Guan Guan, looking at your expression, could it be that you are my boyfriend?" As a love-brained person, she is very interested in this kind of thing.

"No, don't make blind guesses. Yingying, I can't help you with the price. After all, it's a gift from someone else, so I can't ask."

"Understood. I'll check it myself later."

"Sister Fan, Yingying, I'm going to call first and we'll talk later."

At the horse farm, Chen An, who had just helped to show a group of tourists, returned to the shed to drink some water when his cell phone rang. He saw the name of the caller and picked up the call directly.

"Hey Guan Guan, did you just wake up?"

"Well, I just got up for a while. Brother Chen, are you busy?"

"I'm not busy now. I just arranged a tour group."

"Brother Chen, thank you for the gift you gave me."

"You are a girl moving into a new house, so I have to show my appreciation. A small gift, not expensive, but very practical."

Guan Juer felt that Chen An was really thoughtful. He knew that she slept late, so he specially asked someone to deliver the gift later, and the gift was very thoughtful.

"I love so much."

"How are you getting along with your new roommate?"

Speaking of this, Guan Juer glanced at the door and whispered, "It's pretty good. I saw in the class group before that many people posted about meeting weird neighbors and roommates when renting a house, and they were very nervous. But although it's just a simple relationship, I feel that Sister Fan and Yingying are both easy to get along with. Sister Fan even bought me breakfast this morning."

Chen An smiled. Although Fan Shengmei had many shortcomings, Guan Guan could avoid many disadvantages by living with her. "That's good. It's a lucky thing to meet a roommate with a similar personality and temperament in Shanghai."

"It seems that I am quite lucky. Sister Fan is a senior HR in a foreign company, and Yingying is in the marketing department of a foreign trade company."

Chen An pointed out, "Didn't you say yesterday that you were a little nervous about reporting to the company on Monday? Could you ask Sister Fan for advice?"

"I actually thought so too, but I didn't have the nerve to ask directly."

"Social relations are all about give and take, so don't be shy to speak up. This is the best way to promote relationships, but you still have to slowly master the degree."

"I see, Brother Chen, thank you for reminding me."

"Okay, I have to be busy here, let's talk later."

Guan Juer put away her phone, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of her mouth. She felt that she was very lucky. Through the chats and exchanges in the past half month, she became more and more curious about Chen An. They were only one year apart in age, but no matter in terms of life experience or how he dealt with people, Brother Chen was very impressive.

She also discovered that Brother Chen was very knowledgeable about music, which made her feel like a close friend. However, the only thing that made her feel a little depressed now was that Brother Chen seemed to only treat her as a little sister.
