Chapter 412: Cohabitation Comes Quietly

Mu Zhengguang and Xu did not move out of the dormitory suddenly. At first, they lived in the dormitory four days a week, from Monday to Friday. But during these days, they would also return to the rental house and take a shower in the rental house.

September 2023, 9, Friday, on this day, Mu Zhengguang and Xu officially lived together.

The two bought roast duck, fried chicken, French fries and Coke from a roadside store, and had dinner in the living room of the rental house that night.

In Mu Zhengguang's opinion, he and Xu living together only added another identity to each other, roommates. From now on, whenever he enters this house, he must pay attention to this point, even if Xu is not at home, or even for a long time.

"Sister Xu, we will be roommates from now on." After eating heartily, Mu Zhengguang tried to speak calmly about this joyful and exciting event. At the same time, he also used this sentence to express his determination to Xu: I will definitely stick to the boundaries and not do anything out of line.

"Well, we are classmates, friends, good friends, boyfriend and girlfriend, siblings, and roommates. Come, let's toast to celebrate becoming roommates."

Xu raised the plastic cup of Coke and looked at the other person's hand. It was a hand that was almost as beautiful as hers, with long fingers and a white back. She had touched this hand before, and today, she should be able to touch it again.

Xu couldn't help but recall what had happened in the past seven years. They had known each other for six years before they confirmed their relationship, and they had been together for a year after they confirmed their relationship. A full seven years had passed, which was longer than the time it took for many people to get married from knowing each other.

After seven years, I have learned enough about Mu Zhengguang's studies and life. I know he is trustworthy. I will spend another three years to understand his life, such as his living habits and rules, which will help me to look at him more objectively and comprehensively, make a fair evaluation, and make the right choice.

Xu was very glad that she met Mu Zhengguang at the right age. If it had happened three years earlier, it would have been difficult for them to become friends. If it had happened three years later, it would not have had much of an impact. If they had been deskmates in their first year of high school, they would probably have established a relationship after the college entrance examination.

However, the time to live together had to be postponed for three years, that is, after graduation from college. Is this too late? Or, after three years, will there still be a chance? In fact, it doesn't matter whether there is a chance or not. What has happened cannot be changed. In the fate of this life, it has long been written that we met in the first grade of junior high school.

In the evening, after taking a shower, Xu put on pajamas and slippers and knocked on Mu Zhengguang's bedroom door.

Mu Zhengguang shouted "Come in" and hurried to open the door.

Mu Zhengguang quietly glanced at Xu's body and clothes: She always dressed so "ruthlessly" in public, leaving almost no room for people to imagine anything. But she dressed more casually at home. The loose cotton T-shirt did not cover her figure very well, and her shorts certainly covered the scenery above the knees, but wasn't the scenery that was not covered also pure, delicate, beautiful, and fascinating?

Xu Neng noticed the change in Mu Zhengguang's eyes. Admittedly, his eyes at this time seemed not so straightforward and not so pure. The former was because he was shy, and the latter was because he had other ideas, but it was all reasonable. After all, he was an adult boy, and the relationship between the two was a partnership. If he had no thoughts about me, it would be a big problem.

Even so, the necessary reminders must be made. It is not to tell him not to look, but to stop avoiding and dodging, and look at her with an upright gaze.

"My dear classmate, since I came to see you wearing this outfit, it means that I think it is appropriate for me to wear it this way." Xu put his hands on his left shoulder, "However, clothes can't always be appropriate."

Mu Zhengguang didn't understand at first. He exclaimed "Ah", raised his head, and looked up with confusion in his eyes.

"If you see anything inappropriate about my clothes, or if I see you, as long as these 'inappropriateness' do not interfere with our daily life, you don't have to point it out specifically, just pretend you didn't see it. Okay?"

Mu Zhengguang didn't quite understand the first half of Xu's sentence until she said "I see you", then he suddenly realized.

"it is good."

"If you encounter any inappropriate situations in the future, please think about what I said today."

The two of us became roommates, living together day and night. There was one problem that could not be avoided, which was protecting privacy. If we made this clear in advance and explained the solution clearly, we would be able to avoid unexpected situations in the future. Although Mu Zhengguang's character might still make him embarrassed, whether he saw me or I saw him, the result would be similar. However, he had a solution and would not be at a loss. "Yeah." Mu Zhengguang's gratitude to Xu increased: Sister Xu was smart, reliable, mature, and steady. I learned a lot from being with her.

At night, Mu Zhengguang took a shower, changed into pajamas, and knocked on Xu's bedroom door.

The door opened, and Xu asked him, "Hi, what do you want?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to come and see you." Mu Zhengguang came to see Xu for no particular reason. If he had to find a reason, it was because Xu came to see him, and he wanted to return the same attention, respect, and sincerity.

Xu held his hand and said, "Come in and take a look. And by the way, help me figure out what kind of wok and rice cooker we should buy."

"it is good."

Mu Zhengguang walked into the room, Xu handed him the phone, and then sat on the bed.

Mu Zhengguang was sitting on a chair which was very close to the bed and the table. There was a computer on the table which was turned on and the background picture was a purple starry sky.

"Since you are paying half the price, please take a closer look."

"Ok, I know."

In September, Mu Zhengguang and Xu's classmates, especially his roommates, gradually noticed some unusual changes: although there were no fewer things in the dormitory, the water cups and toothbrushes were still there, but the people were not in the dormitory, which was very unusual.

The long vacation from the end of September to the beginning of October lasted for eight days. After that, Mu Zhengguang and Xu would return to the dormitory for two or three nights a week. The number of some daily necessities in the dormitory, such as hangers and tissues, was reduced.

On the first day of the holiday, Mu Zhengguang and Xu bought a smaller non-stick pan from the supermarket.

Mu Zhengguang fried broccoli in a small non-stick pan. This was not his first time cooking, but it was his first time cooking in front of Xu.

At that time, Xu stood beside him and said with a smile: "Before winter comes, there are still many cheap southern vegetables in the supermarket. Try different kinds."

"Well, you should try more of my cooking."

On this day, Mu Zhengguang tried stir-frying and boiling broccoli. He guessed that if broccoli was replaced with baby cabbage, lettuce, or cauliflower, the cooking methods would be similar. He already had these vegetables in the refrigerator, so he could put them into practice tomorrow.

On that day, Xu learned how to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, tomato and egg soup, and tomato soup.

The next day, Mu Zhengguang replaced the broccoli with lettuce, which also tasted good.

The next day, Mu Zhengguang cut one portion of meat into minced meat and another portion into shredded meat. Xu used the two portions of meat to make two dishes, minced meat with beans and stir-fried meat with green onions. The former was salty and the latter was bland, but overall, there was nothing wrong.
