Chapter 234: Can You Bear to Let Me Stay Alone in an Empty Room?
Su Ruochu blushed and refused to answer a certain person's question.
So Chen Fan shamelessly said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
After a round of tussling.
In any case, when the two "finished showering" and came out, there was no more hot water left in the solar water heater.
It was getting dark outside.
The two of them were in no hurry to leave.
Last night, Su Ruochu didn't get a good look around, so she walked around the house barefoot, carefully inspecting it inside and out.
Finally, the two sat on the balcony and ate some of the cake and fruit they had prepared the night before.
"Do you like it here?"
"Mmm."
Chen Fan smiled and joked, "Then shall we come here often in the future?"
Su Ruochu blushed and didn't answer.
Chen Fan continued, "I'll give you a key later."
"I don't want it."
Su Ruochu said softly, "If I want to come and see it, I'll call you to come together. I'm afraid to come here alone."
Chen Fan smiled.
"Okay, I'll accompany you when you come in the future."
After lingering in the house for another hour, the two finally packed up and left.
Outside the neighborhood, Chen Fan rode his bicycle with Su Ruochu sitting behind him as they returned to school.
By the time they went back, it was already dark.
"Darling."
"Mmm?"
"Since it's already dark, how about after dinner, don't go back to the dorm?"
Su Ruochu, sitting in the back, playfully hit Chen Fan.
"What are you thinking about all the time?"
Chen Fan laughed helplessly, "Heaven and earth as my witness, I really didn't have any bad thoughts this time. I just wanted to take you somewhere."
"Where?"
"You'll know when we get there."
Chen Fan took Su Ruochu to the faculty residential area.
When they entered, Su Ruochu looked curiously at the house.
"This... This seems to be the faculty residential area, right? How do you have the key to this place?"
Chen Fan took off his slippers and found a pair of slippers for Su Ruochu from the shoe cabinet by the door.
"Previously, when I was starting my business, I wanted to move out and rent a place since it was inconvenient in the dorm."
"This used to be the house of one of our school's teachers. I rented it for a while. Later, she resigned and wanted to sell the house. I thought the price was reasonable, so I bought the house."
Chen Fan smiled and explained, "The main reason is that this house is inside the school, which is very convenient."
Su Ruochu changed into her slippers and curiously walked around the house.
"Oh, there's even a second-floor loft!"
While she was excitedly running up and down, exploring the place, Chen Fan had already started preparing dinner in the kitchen.
The vegetables were already in the fridge.
By the time Su Ruochu gradually accepted this reality with delight, Chen Fan had finished cooking three dishes and a soup, which he brought out.
"I love this place."
Su Ruochu was somewhat excited.
Just as Chen Fan said, this house was located inside the school, so she could come over anytime she wanted in the future.
Chen Fan smiled and joked, "Compared to the one in Yuhai Family Garden, which house do you like better?"
Su Ruochu thought for a moment.
"I still prefer the layout of the house in Yuhai Garden, but that one is too far away. This one is close by, so they both have their advantages."
Chen Fan smiled and invited her, "Come on, wash your hands and let's eat."
"Do you want a drink?"
He took out two cans of beer from the fridge.
Su Ruochu washed her hands and came out, sitting at the dining table with an excited expression.
Chen Fan opened a can of beer and handed it to her.
"You're in luck. From now on, if you don't want to eat in the school cafeteria, you can come here and cook for yourself."
Su Ruochu's face turned slightly red, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"I... I've never cooked before."
Chen Fan chuckled.
"It's okay, you have me, don't you? In the future, if you want to eat something delicious, just tell me, and I'll cook it for you in advance."
Su Ruochu finally showed a satisfied smile.
"Why are you being so good to me?"
"You're my wife. Who else should I be good to?"
Su Ruochu looked at the table full of dishes and suddenly became emotional, saying in a low voice, "I... I only realized now how excellent you really are."
"To be honest, I'm a little afraid..."
Chen Fan smiled and asked, "Afraid of what?"
Su Ruochu looked up, "Last night, I was actually thinking all along, am I really that good? Worthy of you treating me like this?"
"You're so excellent, there's bound to be a lot of girls who will like you in the future."
"By then, with so many women around you, what... what will I amount to?"
Chen Fan put down his chopsticks and gently placed his hand on the back of Su Ruochu's hand.
"Darling, don't say that."
"In my eyes, you are the best."
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No matter how excellent others may be, in my eyes, there's only you."
Su Ruochu pouted, "You say sweet words now, but who knows if you'll change your heart in the future."
Chen Fan suddenly raised his right hand and solemnly swore.
"I, Chen Fan, swear to the heavens that in this life, I will only love Su..."
"Don't say it!"
Su Ruochu suddenly raised her hand to cover Chen Fan's mouth.
"Don't say it."
Su Ruochu said softly, "I believe you."
Chen Fan then grinned.
"Come on, eat. Try my cooking skills."
Su Ruochu nodded.
Perhaps it was because she was really hungry, or Chen Fan's cooking was too delicious, Su Ruochu broke her usual habit and ate two bowls of rice.
After finishing the meal, the two washed the dishes and chopsticks together, and then Chen Fan washed some fruit.
Leaning on the sofa, watching TV.
Su Ruochu suddenly had the feeling of a young married couple living their daily life.
"Hey?"
"Hmm?"
"I like it here. Can I come here in the future when I'm doing homework or self-studying?"
Chen Fan smiled.
"Of course. I said it before, whatever is mine is also yours. This place belongs to both of us."
Su Ruochu blushed slightly and leaned gently into Chen Fan's embrace.
Pop.
Suddenly, fireworks went off outside the window, followed by a series of cheers and shouts from upstairs, and cheers could also be heard from the campus in the distance.
Su Ruochu looked out the window with some surprise.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Chen Fan glanced at the TV.
Today was July 13th.
Beijing's bid to host the Olympics had succeeded.
Holding Su Ruochu, he stood on the balcony, listening to the waves of cheers from the campus outside.
Chen Fan thought to himself that these people's excitement at this moment was real, but perhaps not many of them understood what this successful Olympic bid meant for this ancient nation.
All of this would only gradually become apparent after 2008.
That night, Su Ruochu accompanied Chen Fan, sleeping on the bed in the study.
The next day, Su Ruochu excitedly took Chen Fan out shopping and started a big round of purchases.
She really liked this house.
In her view, Yuhai Family Garden was too far away, while this apartment had become their own private world for just the two of them.
Bedsheets, bedding, bed supplies, rice, oil, salt, sauces, vinegar... she even bought a new set of bowls and chopsticks.
After returning, Su Ruochu began a major renovation of the house.
Useless items were all moved to the upstairs loft, and then she changed all the bedsheets and bedding to the newly bought ones.
Next was a major cleaning. This girl didn't mind the trouble, sweeping and mopping the floors all by herself.
Finally, she got down on her knees with a rag and meticulously cleaned every nook and cranny until it was spotless.
Chen Fan couldn't dissuade her, so he could only help out.
After finally finishing cleaning up the house, looking at the brand-new place, a sense of accomplishment welled up.
Just as Chen Fan was anticipating what would come next, Su Ruochu picked up her bag from the sofa.
"It's getting late, I should head back to the dorm."
Chen Fan was dumbfounded.
"You... you're not staying overnight?"
Su Ruochu gave a slight smile.
"I only said I would come here often to study, I never said I'd stay overnight."
Chen Fan stared blankly, "But... can you bear to let me stay alone in this empty room?"
Su Ruochu explained seriously, "I read a book where the author said that doing that too often is not good for a man's body."
The corner of Chen Fan's mouth twitched.
Which dumbass author was that, come out here and let me cut you down!
