The online hailing car stopped outside his neighborhood. Lou Cheng quickly alighted, and opened the umbrella to shade her from the merciless noon sun.
Yan Zheke squinted and looked around. She waited for her boyfriend to close the door before asking great interest,
"Is this where you live? It looks like the courtyard of hospital staff and family courtyard which my family lived in before... "
She wore a white T-shirt with colored lines and black midi skirt. She wore a pair of sandals in black and red on her foot which showed her pink fingernails. She looked not only young and beautiful but also very mature and sexy.
"Estates built at that generation all look about the same." Lou Cheng agreed with her casually without thinking. Mindlessly, he held her hand and pulled her along into the estate.
Yan Zheke took her hand back and glanced at him, "Didn't you say that almost all the residents know who you? If you continue holding my hands like that, it would only take five minutes before your mother would find out that you've brought a girl home. "
"Less than five minutes..." Lou Cheng said embarrassedly. Holding her hand had become a habit.
After saying that, he laughed, "Actually, I don't care. It's okay for me to let my mother know. She'll be so happy to see that I bring such a good wife back home."
He displayed an open attitude. [Why I can't introduce Ke who is such a great girlfriend to others? I even want to show off our relationships to everyone!]
Unfortunately, I've to consider the feelings of Ke's families.
Yan Zheke looked at his face and said like humming, "Who's the wife you're bringing back home? I'm not coming with you!"
"Yes, yes, girlfriend, girlfriend!" Lou Cheng looked at the entrance of his estate and said, "How about I go back home first to check whether there are any people in my home and then I'll guide you to my place?"
"Okay." Yan Zheke moved her beautiful eyes upwards. She did not have any other good ideas.
After handing her the sunshade, Lou Cheng ran into his community quickly and agilely. While he was running, all the neighbors along the way greeted him with a smile.
Upon reaching home, Lou Cheng found the house quiet. This meant that both his father and mother had gone to work. He felt completely relieved. He walked into the balcony and overlooked the door and the road from a high position.
"Ke, after you enter the door, you can just go forward and turn right until you get to the No.4 building... Yes, there're some people playing chess there... Ok, ok. Now stop, stop, stop. Turn left, turn left. Do you see the word 'eight'? Yes, this is the building that I live in. My house is on the fifth floor of unit two... I left the door open... " As soon as Lou Cheng saw the girl's figure disappear from the door of the unit, he quickly to turned around and left the balcony.
During this process, his eyes swept over the familiar living room and suddenly, he was a little nervous.
Does my place look too old, too shabby or too small?
We're no where near Ke's home.
Will this give her some bad impression...
Lou Cheng gulped. He was not only excited and happy for he was about to share his past with Yan Zheke, but also felt a little nervous for he worried that she would look down upon him. It was inevitable for him to have some inferiority complex.
[What's more, there's no air-conditioning in my home. We only use fans, but it doesn't matter for I am the walking air-conditioner...] He looked at the bright sun, feeling the hot sunlight, and waiting for her at the door.
After only a while, he heard the light footsteps of his girlfriend and saw her beautiful figure.
Yan Zheke's eyes swept across the scene inside his home and pursed her mouth before she said,
"It was like we're shooting some agent movie just now, so sneaky."
Lou Cheng handed her his own slippers. While he was clos
ing the door, he put on his father's slippers and said with a wry smile,
"Actually we don't need to be sneaky, as long as you are willing to announce our relationship to others."
"I am not stupid..." Yan Zheke raised her head slightly and laughed, "Do I need to bring my sandals to your bedroom?"
She was ridiculing Lou Cheng for what he behaved in her house before.
"No, it'll be much better for my parents to see them when they come back." Lou Cheng answered her with a smile.
"Hmm!" Yan Zheke bent over to take her own sandals and gave them to Lou Cheng, "Take it. Oh, your shoes are so big..."
She lifted her right leg and shook the slippers dangling on her toes.
"People feel more comfortable for wearing a bigger pair of slippers." As Lou Cheng led her to his bedroom, he peeked at her to try to catch any reaction to his home.
Yan Zheke looked around with curiosity, in the end, she pointed to the door of the secondary bedroom and laughed with her hand over her mouth, "That's the place where you watched TV in secret?"
Lou Cheng once told her about something interesting in his childhood. Once he was so eager to watch TV, so he secretly left the door open and stood behind the door on tiptoe so that to watch the TV in front of his room. However, the film which his parents watched that night turned to be a scary movie. He was frightened by it and could not fall asleep.
"Yes, ah, it scared me." Lou Cheng smiled in a low voice and answered her. He then took the courage to ask her, "Ke, will you feel that my home is a little, a little shabby?"
Coach Yan ever said, we need to communicate timely and actively and leave no tension!
Yan Zheke tilted her head and pursed her mouth slightly. She smiled and said, "What do you mean? Your house is okay. It's very clean and neat. Anyway, it isn't my home. I have only three requirements for any other places. Clean, neat, safe. And there are so many your past memories in this house, so it'll be interesting for us to live here occasionally."
Pfft, what am I saying, why do I say that we can live here occasionally...
Lou Cheng relieved and again became confident. He also understood the viewpoint which she inadvertently showed, so he pulled her beautiful hand into his hand and said with a smile on his face,
"In the future, we'll have our own home."
It'll be spacious, warm and clean.
"Who wants to have a home with you!" Yan Zheke raised her head and looked to the other side.
Lou Cheng laughed and said: "In fact, I worry that we will have some contradictions about concepts just now, after all, we live and grew up with such different family environment."
After being firm again, he became frank. He could share with her openly the worries in his heart.
"The contradictions in values and concepts are not that important." Yan Zheke looked up as she smiled and said, "Like the problems about housework, we can hire a housemaid to do it. We only need to wash our own private things. Like the problems about who to cook, we can hire a housemaid who is good at cooking. We can also cook by ourselves if we are interested in cooking. Like the problems about taking care of our parents if they are not so healthy as now, of course, we will feel tired to do it. But we can also hire a professional nurse to do the main works so that we won't be so exhausted..."
She said these words with a plain tone. It was like such things came naturally to her.
However, Lou Cheng was surprised when he heard her. He felt that what she said just now seemed to have solved most of the contradictions and problems he was worried about.
Of course, what she said required a solid economic base!
"After hearing your words, a lot of conceptual contradictions may not be as important as I think..." Lou Cheng said.
Money is not everything, but people can never live without money. This sentence sounds a little exaggerated, but many problems would be much more obvious if people are poor. As the saying goes, nothing goes well to a destitute couple.
Thinking of this, Lou Cheng again was much more eager to earn more money to support the family!
"Did I instruct you again, right?" Yan Zheke said with dimples on her face and she laughed happily.
It was happy for her to know that her beloved one agreed with her own viewpoints.
"Yes, ah, you've taught me a lot after we got together." Lou Cheng put Yan Zheke's sandals on the corner of his bedroom and let her sit on the bed while he was looking for the albums. After he found them, he handed them to her like giving her treasures.
"I used to regret that there were so many classes in our grade. As a result, we couldn't take a photo for all the students in one grade and I also couldn't have a photo with you. But, now, hehe." He expressed his feelings about the past.
Yan Zheke slightly opened her mouth, but then again she closed it, with a tingling sweetness lingering in her.
Cheng was really a fool at that time!
She put an album on her lap. While she was watching it, Lou Cheng opened the fan and used the Power of Frost. He moved to her side and circled her waist with his arm.
"Really refreshing!" Yan Zheke praised him with a smile, "Is this your graduation photo taken in senior year? At that time, you wore a rather long hair which almost covered your eyes. You looked like particularly sloppy..."
"Not sloppy. I was just too lazy, and I didn't know how to take care of myself. So usually I will at first have a brush cut, then I wait for the hair to grow freely. While the hair is approaching my eyes, I then go to the hair shop to get the brush cut again. So during the two months, I needn't worry about my hair. " As Lou Cheng was explaining the mentality he had at that time, he felt a little guilty.
Yan Zheke glanced at him and snickered, "If you still have this kind of haircut in the future, I will help you cut your hair!"
"Are you good at it?" Lou Cheng asked her with surprise.
"No, I am not~ In fact, I've never done it before. So I dare you to be lazy!" Yan Zheke laughed covering her mouth with hands as she was looking through the photos.
After their family became poor, the photos about Lou Cheng also became less. Besides, after he entered the high school, he didn't like taking photos as well. So Yan Zheke only found the photos taken when he was in the primary school after she looked through half of the album.
"Haha, there was a red dot on your forehead. You looked like a girl!"
"That was the class dance. Every student in my class had a red dot on the forehead. I didn't know why the teacher asked us to do that..."
"Hey, this is the naked photo taken in the bathtub which you referred to me before? Your body totally exposed!"
"I had no choice. At that time, I was so innocent that gave my father a chance to take such a photo. This photo is a black mark in my life..."
Sitting there side by side, they discussed the photos and the story behind them together. Both of them felt excited and they also could hear each other's breath.
Lou Cheng could also smell the fragrance on her body. Holding her in the arms, he then came up some ideas because whether he looked up or down he could see his girlfriend's attractive figure.
We are at home without other people. The home is very comfortable and very secure...
Also, my mom and dad won't come back earlier...
It has been a long time since we made out...
Lou Cheng turned to the other side and saw the pouty lips of his girlfriend. When he lowered his head, he noticed her beautiful fair legs. He then suddenly stood up and walked toward the door.
"Where are you going?" Yan Zheke looked at him, confused.
Lou Cheng closed the door of the secondary bedroom and pretending to explain seriously,
"To shut the door. I forgot about it. So, my parents wouldn't notice anything even if they came back suddenly."
"Ok." Yan Zheke's long eyelashes fluttered. She then lowered her head to look at the album on her lap.
Lou Cheng again sat beside her and circled her waist with his arms like the previous posture. This time, he tightened his hold. It was like he wanted to wrap around her.
Yan Zheke wriggled twice, then she quietened down. She was still staring at the photos that Lou Cheng took during his childhood.
