Chapter 266: Escape from the Mountains (47)
This is the apartment that Xiaocao bought herself. Li Yanshu has never been here. When he arrived at the floor, Li Yanshu asked for the password of her house.
"This is a combination lock." Xiaocao got off him and stepped barefoot on the ground. Li Yanshu looked at her and frowned unconsciously.
But Xiaocao quickly opened the door, and there was a soft carpet in the entrance.
She took Li Yanshu's hand, entered his fingerprint information into the password lock, turned to him and said, "Next time you come, just record your fingerprint directly."
Li Yanshu's ears turned red again.
Xiaocao's apartment is not very big and the decoration is relatively simple. There is no atmosphere of life in the house. It feels like it is just a place for her to stay.
Fortunately, the housekeeper would regularly help her buy some daily necessities and regularly replenish some vegetables and fruits in the refrigerator.
Xiaocao went to the bathroom to take a shower. Li Yanshu made her a cup of honey water and brought it into her bedroom and placed it on the table.
The clothes she had just changed were on the bed, and Li Yanshu helped her put them in the laundry basket at the bathroom door.
After Xiaocao came out of the shower, she saw Li Yanshu still there, so she asked him if he wanted to stay the night.
“The bedding in the second bedroom is changed regularly, and there are disposable toiletries in the drawer.”
Li Yanshu said, "No, I'm going back to school. I've left the honey water on the table in your room. Remember to drink it."
Xiao Cao looked at the time: "It's already past eleven o'clock, are you still going back to school?"
"I'll take you back to school tomorrow when I go to work. It's on the way too."
Li Yanshu wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Xiaocao: "We're getting married soon anyway, so staying overnight shouldn't be a problem, right?"
She tilted her head with a half-smile: "Could it be that you are still shy?"
Li Yanshu's face suddenly turned red.
Xiaocao found a loose shirt and pants from the closet and handed them to him: "There's not much difference in height between us, so you should be able to wear them. Just make do with them."
"Go take a shower and go to bed. I'm sleepy so I'll go to bed first."
After stuffing the clothes into his arms, Xiaocao closed the bedroom door.
The grass gave his clothes a clean and fragrant smell, exactly the same as her own.
...
The next morning, Xiaocao, who had a fixed biological clock, opened his eyes on time at seven o'clock.
When she opened the door and was about to go to the bathroom to wash up, she heard noises coming from the kitchen.
Li Yanshu was wearing his own clothes from yesterday, standing in the kitchen preparing breakfast.
When she finished washing and changing her clothes, two bowls of noodles and a plate of sliced oranges were already on the dining table.
"Are you done? Come over for breakfast."
"What a hardworking little bee!" said the grass.
Li Yanshu smiled and said, "I rarely cook for myself. I usually eat in the school cafeteria. Come and try it to see if you like the taste. Is it a little bland?"
He made simple scallion oil noodles with a round poached egg on top.
"It's amazing, it looks beautiful when sold."
Xiao Cao took a bite and nodded: "It's delicious."
"As long as you like it."
Neither of them was talkative, so they sat together and ate noodles quietly.
Xiaocao accidentally saw the underwear she had changed last night hanging on the balcony. She glanced at Li Yanshu who was eating noodles with his head down.
Maybe he doesn't know that there's a washer-dryer in the bathroom specifically for underwear?
Yesterday she was wearing very thin suit pants, and for the sake of appearance she wore very thin lace panties underneath.
Li Yanshu blushed even when he stayed overnight at her house. Xiaocao couldn't imagine how red his face would be when he washed his underwear by hand.
However, since he helped wash her underwear, what was he wearing...
Can hand-washed underwear dry overnight?
Xiaocao was thinking randomly, and her eyes fell on Li Yanshu.
Li Yanshu noticed that Xiaocao had been staring at him, and his face felt hot: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Xiaocao changed the subject: "Are you going to have a group meeting this morning?"
"No, I'm not in a hurry."
Xiaocao nodded.
"How long until you graduate?"
A combined master's and doctoral program typically takes six years to complete. Li Yanshu is currently in his third year of graduate school and will graduate in early July. He will begin his doctoral studies in September and will likely remain at S University for another three years.
"It should be another three years."
"So, should you still live on campus while you're doing your PhD?"
Li Yanshu glanced at Xiaocao and said, "We're married, shouldn't we live together?"
“It should be more convenient for students to live on campus.”
"But I've booked a wedding room in Galaxy Bay. It's convenient for going to school or work there. It's up to you."
Xiaocao took out a tissue and wiped her mouth. "The planning department is urging us to draw up a guest list. I'll send you the form later. You can see if you want to invite your mentors or classmates, and then add their names."
"it is good."
...
After breakfast, Xiaocao drove Li Yanshu to the school gate.
"Goodbye, drive safely."
Li Yanshu stood at the school gate and watched the car leave before turning around and walking into the school gate.
Two of the roommates in the dormitory were already awake. Seeing Li Yanshu, they were a little surprised: "Didn't you go home last night?"
Li Yanshu nodded: "I went to my fiancée's house last night."
Roommates: “?”
"fiancée?"
"How come some people have a fiancée after just the New Year?"
"Li Yanshu, this is inappropriate. Have you been secretly dating behind our backs?"
"No." Li Yanshu chuckled. "It was decided before the New Year. I didn't tell you about it because I was afraid there would be changes."
"The wedding is scheduled for July 7th. I'll send you invitations then."
Roommates: “?”
"Isn't that just a few months away?"
"Of course, Li Yanshu. You already have a fiancée, but you didn't even bring her out to show us."
Li Yanshu smiled and said, "She's busy with work, so she'll treat everyone to a meal when she's free."
Two of his roommates were his undergraduate classmates, and the other one was admitted after graduating from an undergraduate program at another school. They have a good relationship with each other.
Thanks to his roommate, Li Yanshu’s tutor and classmates soon knew that he was about to get married.
"Sure, if you don't make a sound, you'll make a splash."
"Who is the target? Have we met before?"
Li Yanshu looked at one of the girls and said, "I've seen her before. She graduated from our school with a degree in computer science and was here last year."
"Ah!" The person who spoke slapped his head and said, "Is it the one in the suit from last time?"
Li Yanshu nodded.
"Li Youcao?" The roommate's eyes widened. "Your fiancée is Li Youcao?"
"Could it be Li Youcao, the guy who developed some system last year?"
"She's amazing. She seems to be an outstanding graduate of our school."
"No way, Li Yanshu, you've known her for so many years, and you've been hiding it from us."
Li Yanshu didn't want to tell anyone too much about the private matters between him and Xiaocao, so he said, "It hadn't been finalized before."
"I didn't expect Li Yanshu to be the first among us to get married."
The others were not gossipers who were eager to get to the bottom of things. They just made a few jokes and then went back to their own business.
