Chapter 248 Living Under the Same Roof
After waking up in the morning, Xu Ying took two bottles of fresh milk from the refrigerator and went straight to his classmate's house. At this time, his classmate must have gotten up, and he might even be on his way.
Xu Ying stopped him downstairs of his classmate's house and handed him the milk: "Buy other food on the way, drink some milk first."
Mu Zhengguang unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip.
Before participating in the second modeling competition, he rarely drank this kind of milk because it was too expensive. He drank this kind of milk for the first time after participating in the first modeling competition. At that time, he thought that the prize money of the competition was so high that he should be able to splurge a little, and the milk was on sale, so it didn't seem so expensive after the discount, so he bought two bottles.
However, this kind of milk seems to be always on sale. Every time the salesperson will say, "The original price was 20 yuan a bottle, but now it's 29.9 yuan for two bottles."
After the "splurge", he deeply realized that different prices really can bring different tastes.
"My mother told you to live in my house. If you feel three rooms are not enough, I will look for a bigger house, also in this community." Xu Ying was looking forward to his coming so much that she forgot that if the other party gave a negative answer, the "if" she said would be completely redundant.
Mu Zhengguang was very conflicted: Living alone is also good, more free, more casual, and unrestrained. It is also good to be with classmate Ying, and I don’t feel constrained. However, living in her house, will I cause trouble to Auntie? Or conversely, will Auntie cause trouble to me? Probably not. Auntie is also very good. I am probably a person who can be trusted? Maybe. What does my classmate think about this? Is she ready to welcome me? Can I live up to her expectations? How can I live up to her expectations?
"No, our current house is big enough. Will it have any bad influence if I live in your house?"
"No, we have been a family for a long time, so you don't have to feel any burden. Although our relationship is not like that of Zhao Yuxi and Gu Tingzhou, Zhao Yuxi can be Gu Tingzhou's sister, and I can be your sister too, not just in terms of age."
To this day, she can barely accept calling her younger classmates "brother", but she is not so willing and fluent when calling them. But no matter what, she will definitely face much less resistance when calling her classmates "brother" than when they call her "sister" because she is slightly younger.
If someone must bear this resistance, she hopes that it is she who bears the resistance. But how can there be only one person who bears the resistance? Will the little classmate voluntarily call her "sister"? It is definitely not voluntary. When he calls his cousin, he calls her by her name.
"It's spiritual, I understand."
"That's about right. If you're willing to live in my house, I'll go buy a bookshelf and chairs today." So far, the little classmate hasn't said whether he wants to come to her house or not, and she really wants to know the answer.
"I am willing."
At this time, Mu Zhengguang still had many concerns: What was my identity when I lived in my classmate's house? Partner? Brother? Friend? Classmate? If I lived in her house as a partner, should I ask my parents for their opinions? At least I should tell them about it. In fact, no matter what identity I lived in her house in, I had to let my family know about it. Should I let my parents meet my classmate's parents? I think I should.
"My dear classmate, if you are willing, then you are willing. If you are not willing, then you are not willing. I can wait a little longer. When my mother asked you to live in my house, I was also surprised."
Xu Ying saw a lot of doubt in his eyes. If the "darkness" had not come, it would have been a long time before he and I lived together. Although the "darkness" came, we did not plan to live together in advance. This was a surprise to me, and to my classmates as well.
"I'm thinking about letting my parents meet my uncle and aunt. After they meet, I'll move into your house, regardless of whether my parents support me or not."
"Yeah. I also think it would be better to meet in person." Letting the other party live in your home is a big deal. My mother thinks this is a natural and logical thing, but she doesn't think so. She always feels that this is still missing a key step from being a natural thing. The "meet in person" mentioned by the classmate is exactly that key step. The families of both sides meet to discuss things. No matter what the result is, this step cannot be missed.
"I'll ask my parents to come back this weekend. Do my uncle and aunt have time?" Mu Zhengguang didn't want to let this matter drag on for too long. His classmates had expectations for him, or for the future of both parties, and he did the same. Because of the expectations, he didn't want to delay.
"My parents are not busy, they will definitely have time. Let's meet this weekend, and then you can live in my house. Do you think you need any other furniture? I will buy them for you."
"It shouldn't be necessary."
The furnishings in Mu Zhengguang's bedroom are very simple, with just a bed, a desk, a cabinet and a chair.
There are some books on the desk, and there are also books on the floor. There are some cardboard boxes in the cabinet, and the boxes are filled with sundries. Living in a classmate's house, these are also what he needs. As for the bookshelf, it doesn't matter if there is one or not. It's probably better to have a bookshelf, at least there is no need to put books on the floor. Besides, if the aunt sees him putting books on the floor, it may not be good.
"Then it's a deal. Our families will meet this weekend and you can come. In the twelfth year since we met, you and I will finally live under the same roof."
Xu Ying was very excited. She even wondered why she was so excited. She was expecting this answer, but wasn't this answer also within her imagination? She was expecting her classmates to come, but before this, her classmates had come many times. Only this time was it special? It was indeed very special. This time, they would stay for a long time and officially become a family. Not only she and her classmates thought so, but their families also thought so.
"Yeah. We finally live under the same roof."
The two people who were about to live under the same roof rushed to school together. During the morning self-study, they worked together on the overall work.
Checking the assistant's work report and responding to it is just one of the tasks. In addition to these two tasks, they have to do a lot more. For example, supervision.
They not only supervise assistants, but also other members of the institute under their jurisdiction to prevent them from abusing their power and being passive. In addition, any problems that assistants cannot solve will be reported to them, and they will provide solutions or report to the institute headquarters.
One of Xu Yingze's assistants gave him a difficult problem. The assistant said that an extremely dangerous ancient man had just been caught last week, and the assistant wanted to know how to deal with this dangerous ancient man.
Xu Ying looked at the casualties caused by the Medieval, his abilities, and the manpower and resources the institute had spent to catch him. She made a prompt decision to send this person to Zhao Yuxi.
But before she replied to the message, she still asked for her classmates' opinions.
"My assistant has captured a vicious and powerful Ancient One. I want to hand this person over to Zhao Yuxi so that they can continue to display their talents, but I'm afraid Zhao Yuxi will go easy on them."
"Let's bring that man to our place over the weekend. If he persists, we'll put him into a long sleep."
"Ah."
