Chapter 204 - 203:
At noon, the two decided to find a restaurant outside for a simple lunch. After eating, they went to the Silk Workshop to buy all the kitchen supplies. By the time they returned to Sijin District, it was already two thirty in the afternoon.
Cen Jin is also someone who likes to finish things quickly. Since they had already bought the items, she couldn’t just leave them there, so she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to get to work.
Seeing this, Jiang Baizhou casually stopped the silhouette about to walk past him: "Let’s rest for a bit first."
"It’s fine, I’m not tired," Cen Jin turned her head to look at him. "Besides, there aren’t many things, just a quick wash and setting them up will do. Leaving them on the ground takes up space too. If you’re tired, you go rest, I can handle this by myself."
Jiang Baizhou pursed his lips, took her delicate hand, and gently squeezed her palm: "Did you forget? Today is your birthday. You can deal with it tomorrow. You woke up so early this morning and haven’t rested till now. Why not take a nap, okay?"
"I know it’s my birthday! But I’m really happy! Today is the first day we moved in, and that’s the best gift for me. I’m very satisfied. Besides, this is our home, and I’m happy to be busy for it. This kind of busyness makes me feel fulfilled and happy." Cen Jin understood what Jiang Baizhou meant; he was just concerned about her getting tired. His concern filled her heart sweetly, but she really didn’t feel tired.
Usually, she’s someone who loves to sleep in, but today, because of moving into this little home that belongs only to the two of them, she woke up very early on purpose, tidying things up, busying herself for her future happy life, happier than ever before.
The light in Jiang Baizhou’s eyes gradually softened. He raised his hand to gently brush her slightly messy hair: "Mm, me too. But... isn’t there a dinner party tonight? You’ve already got enough to handle. If you don’t rest well now, are you planning to go to your birthday party tonight with dark circles under your eyes?"
Upon hearing this, Cen Jin indeed felt that there was some truth in what Jiang Baizhou said. Plus, the house was already perfectly set up, with only the kitchen left, a place they seldom used, so there was really no need to rush.
Thinking about it, Cen Jin couldn’t help but yawn, feeling a bit sleepy. She got up at six in the morning today, and she was already feeling drowsy in the car, but after getting out and returning home, she felt refreshed again.
But now, his words had extinguished half of her energy, and the sleepiness returned. Thinking it over, she decided to go along with Jiang Baizhou’s suggestion.
"Alright then! It’s not urgent at the moment. I’ll take a nap. What about you?"
"Together, let’s go!" Jiang Baizhou gave a faint smile, pulled her along, and headed to the bedroom. His handsome features also showed signs of fatigue and sleepiness.
At this time, he definitely would not admit that it was because he felt a bit tired and sleepy himself that he decided to persuade her to go sleep with him.
When they reached the bedroom, it was somewhat messy since they hadn’t fully organized yet. The things they moved in the morning were hanging in the walk-in closet, along with some bags and shoes. However, there were still some daily necessities and accessories left in the suitcase that hadn’t been taken out and placed.
Cen Jin instinctively wanted to bend down to get the things from the suitcase but was stopped by Jiang Baizhou. She turned her head suspiciously towards him, only to hear him say, "Leave it for later, let’s sleep first." With that, he wrapped his arm around her slender waist, leaned over onto the soft bed, closed his eyes, and held her as they drifted into sleep.
