Chapter 116 Let’s Sleep Together
After seeing Mai Ju off, Lin Miaomiao and Wu Xianyu took a taxi back home. As soon as they got home, Lin Miaomiao lay down on the sofa to catch up on her sleep.
Wu Xianyu brought a quilt and covered Lin Miaomiao with it. They would take care of their own lunch today. Wang Shengnan and Lin Dawei went to prepare things needed for the New Year.
It's still early, so there's no rush for what to eat for lunch. Wu Xianyu had nothing to do for the moment, so he took out his mobile phone and watched some short videos. But for him, the current TikTok is still too immature. After the initial novelty wore off, Wu Xianyu turned off his phone.
He held Yuwan and Laotie in his arms, brushed their fur with a brush, and listened to the two cats purring comfortably. The stress that Wu Xianyu had accumulated during this period of time gradually disappeared.
He weighed the two cats in his hands and could clearly feel that Yuwan was much heavier than Laotie. Scratching Yuwan's chin, Wu Xianyu complained softly.
"You can eat just like your mom."
"Meow~"
Yuwan meowed, stretched, jumped out of Wu Xianyu's arms, hopped onto the sofa, and snuggled into Lin Miaomiao's arms.
Hearing the familiar snoring sound, Lin Miaomiao reached out to hug him, changed her position and continued to sleep.
After being busy for half a year, Wu Xianyu felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly had some free time. He sat on the carpet and glanced around the house, planning in his mind when to do a thorough cleaning.
Thinking of the spring cleaning, Wu Xianyu slapped his forehead, remembered something, stood up from the carpet, Lao Tie jumped out of Wu Xianyu's arms, stretched, and followed Wu Xianyu's feet towards the door.
He quietly opened the door, walked out, then Wu Xianyu gently closed the door and opened the door opposite.
After opening the door, Wu Xianyu took a deep breath. This house, which had been vacant for half a year, seemed a little deserted.
After walking into the door, Wu Xianyu closed all the half-open windows and gently lifted the dust cloth on the furniture. Looking at the house with other colors, Wu Xianyu was in a good mood. After two lifetimes, he finally had his own home.
After turning on the water and electricity in the house, Wu Xianyu took out the cleaning tools and cleaned from inside to outside.
"Hmm~"
Lin Miaomiao stretched comfortably, lay on the sofa, opened her eyes, looked at the ceiling, felt a little quiet, picked up the glasses on the coffee table and put them on, and unexpectedly found that Wu Xianyu was not at home.
Lin Miaomiao got off the sofa, twisted her waist, and said to herself
“This sofa is still a bit uncomfortable to sleep on.”
After relaxing her body, Lin Miaomiao began to look for Wu Xianyu, but she couldn't find him anywhere in the house.
Lin Miaomiao was wondering where Wu Xianyu had gone, so she picked up Yuwan and prepared to go out to look for him to see if Wu Xianyu had gone for a walk with his friend.
As soon as she opened the door, she heard a buzzing sound coming from the house opposite with its door wide open. Lin Miaomiao walked in with Yuwan in her arms and found Laotie lying cross-legged on the sweeping robot. The buzzing sound was the sweeping robot's panting due to being overwhelmed.
Seeing Laotie's leisurely look, Yuwan couldn't suppress his curious nature. He jumped out of Lin Miaomiao's arms and ran to Laotie. Laotie smelled the scent of his brother, but he just opened his eyes and looked at it, then continued to close his eyes and lay on the sweeping robot and went with the flow.
Yuwan couldn't help but pick at the sweeping robot, making a 'meow' sound.
Hearing Yuwan's voice, Laotie just meowed lightly, and had no intention of getting up. Lin Miaomiao looked at the two cats who were about to fight each other over a disagreement, so she ignored them and started walking around the house.
Looking at the furniture in the house with curiosity in her eyes, she walked to a lazy rocking chair and sat on it tentatively. After lying down completely, Lin Miaomiao let out a comfortable nasal sound.
"How is it? You chose the furniture yourself. Is it comfortable?"
When Wu Xianyu's voice came, Lin Miaomiao opened her eyes and saw that he was wearing an apron sleeve, a mask, and a disposable hood on his head, dressed like a cleaner.
"Hey, feel comfortable"
Lin Miaomiao sat up from the recliner and looked up at Wu Xianyu.
"How can you not feel comfortable with the things you chose? Why didn't you ask me to clean?"
Wu Xianyu raised his eyebrows. Although most of his face was hidden under the mask, he could still be seen smiling from his eyes.
"Oh, the mistress is here to assert her sovereignty so early. If you want to clean up, that's fine. The only things left to clean are the living room and the kitchen. How about we help?"
"Together!"
Lin Miaomiao stood up excitedly. She had always tried to avoid cleaning at home, but now she was very interested in it.
After changing into the same outfit as Wu Xianyu, Lin Miaomiao took a feather duster and swept the fine dust everywhere onto the ground. The dust on the ground was cleaned up by the sweeping robot.
The sweeping robot, which had temporarily escaped the suppression of the black cat, increased its speed a bit and cleaned the room tirelessly.
Lin Miaomiao used a feather duster to sweep away the dust on the TV in the living room. She couldn't help but marvel at the TV.
"Xianyu, your TV is really big, what size is it?"
"A 65-inch TV with an internet box, so I should be able to search for anything I want to watch."
After cleaning the kitchen, Wu Xianyu came out, took off his equipment, put it on the coffee table, sat down on the sofa, and turned on the TV with the remote control.
While Lin Miaomiao was lost in thought while watching TV, he put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.
"ah!"
Lin Miaomiao was startled and sat down in Wu Xianyu's arms. Wu Xianyu hugged Lin Miaomiao and watched TV. Two cats were fighting in the living room. It was not until this time that Wu Xianyu felt truly settled.
"I was so scared that I was sweating all over"
Lin Miaomiao, who was sitting in Wu Xianyu's arms, hit Wu Xianyu in a reproachful manner, took off her apron and mask, and placed them on the coffee table. She leaned her body completely into Wu Xianyu's arms and rested her head on his shoulder.
“It feels like we’re living together.”
“How can it be an illusion?”
Wu Xianyu spoke in dissatisfaction and hugged Lin Miaomiao tighter.
"It's just a matter of time. You said before that you would live with me after the exam. You won't go back on your word, will you?"
"Ah this."
Lin Miaomiao scratched her face, looking a little embarrassed
"I don't mind, but my parents might have some objections."
"Hey, this is your business. I'm waiting for your good news."
Wu Xianyu lowered his head, found Lin Miaomiao's lips with ease, and kissed her deeply. Lin Miaomiao relaxed her body and hugged Wu Xianyu's neck, closing her eyes in cooperation.
After sitting together and watching TV for a while, Lin Miaomiao touched her belly and rubbed Wu Xianyu's chin with her head.
"Xianyu, I'm hungry, what do you want to eat for lunch?" "What do you want to eat?"
Lin Miaomiao pointed at the advertisement on TV
"I want a burger with a really big patty."
Looking at the advertisement on TV, Wu Xianyu touched his chin
"Well, I'll give it a try. I've never made a burger before."
Returning to the house opposite, Wu Xianyu looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator. There were still a few chicken legs and some vegetables, which were definitely not enough.
Taking the ingredients back to his house, Wu Xianyu walked into the brand new kitchen, deboned and chopped the chicken legs, then marinated them in a bowl. He used the seasoning for spicy fried chicken. He didn't know how it would taste, but it shouldn't be bad.
Put the chicken thighs aside to marinate, Wu Xianyu washed his hands and went to the living room, looking at Lin Miaomiao
"Would you like to go grocery shopping together?"
"want!"
Lin Miaomiao jumped up from the sofa, changed her shoes, and walked out the door with Wu Xianyu.
Arriving at the supermarket, Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but pull Wu Xianyu's sleeve when she saw him shopping frantically and then looked at the food that was almost filling up a small cart.
“You bought too much salted fish.”
Wu Xianyu asked the butcher to weigh the beef while answering Lin Miaomiao's questions.
"Not much. Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I have to cook a meal when I move to a new house. When Mai Ju comes back, we can have a meal together."
"Hmm? Is that so? Then do we need to prepare some snacks for the dinner party?"
Lin Miaomiao's eyes lit up immediately. She liked the hustle and bustle. Wu Xianyu smiled. There were many people in the supermarket. He quietly put down his hand that wanted to pinch Lin Miaomiao's face. After weighing the meat, he took Lin Miaomiao straight to the snack area.
The two of them walked out of the supermarket with bags, stopping and walking along the way. Wu Xianyu now wanted to have a car very much, but unfortunately he didn't have time to check it out.
When they got home, they were both exhausted, panting and sweating all over their foreheads.
Lin Miaomiao leaned on the sofa to rest. Wu Xianyu took a few breaths, drank a glass of warm water, and the air conditioner had been turned on for a while. He felt that the coldness in his body had dissipated a lot. He took off his coat and walked into the kitchen.
The chicken legs were almost marinated, so Wu Xianyu put them in the oven and started thinking about how to make bread dough. There was definitely no time to bake bread dough now, and the quality of the bread bought from the supermarket was average, so Wu Xianyu simply used potato cakes instead of bread dough.
Mix fried chopped onions, chopped bacon and mashed potatoes, dip in egg liquid, coat with breadcrumbs, put into a pan and fry it. Oh, kids next door, there's no one next door, so it's okay.
Although there were no children next door, Lin Miaomiao was no better than them. When the onions and bacon were being fried, she followed the smell and came over. Now she was standing at the kitchen door, watching eagerly.
Seeing her greedy look, Wu Xianyu picked up a piece of potato cake and put it in the bowl, then handed it to Lin Miaomiao.
"The disposable gloves should be under the TV cabinet, you can use them to fill your stomach first."
"Okay, okay, take your time."
Taking the potato pancake, Lin Miaomiao smiled happily. She kissed Wu Xianyu on the cheek, picked up the bowl and turned to walk towards the living room.
The potato cakes are fried and the chicken legs are almost roasted. Use a knife to cut them into similar widths and place them on the potato cakes that serve as breadcrumbs. Sprinkle with sauce and lettuce, then cover with another layer of potato cakes. A customized Big Mac is ready.
Wu Xianyu was somewhat satisfied with the strange potato pancake. He put it on a plate and brought it to the coffee table in the living room. Lin Miaomiao had just finished eating the potato pancake. When she saw the hamburger Wu Xianyu brought out, her eyes sparkled and she let out an exaggerated exclamation.
"Wow!!"
Seeing the burger was as big as her face, Lin Miaomiao couldn't wait to pick it up. But after really picking it up, Lin Miaomiao was a little troubled. How should she eat it? She wanted to eat all the layers in one bite, but her mouth didn't seem to be big enough.
When Wu Xianyu brought out his hamburger, he saw Lin Miaomiao opening her mouth to the limit, but there was still a layer of potato pancake that she couldn't bite.
"puff"
Wu Xianyu couldn't help laughing, but Lin Miaomiao no longer cared about Wu Xianyu's ridicule. She stuffed her mouth full and chewed hard, with a happy look on her face.
Seeing Lin Miaomiao eating so happily, Wu Xianyu began to drool. He followed Lin Miaomiao's example and sat directly on the floor. He put the plate directly on the coffee table. Wu Xianyu put on disposable gloves, picked up the burger and took a big bite.
The potato pancakes were fried very crispy, the lettuce was fresh and refreshing, the chicken thighs had a crispy skin and you could feel the juice bursting out between your teeth when you took a bite. Although it was not the classic New Orleans flavor, the taste of the classic spicy fried chicken was more suitable for Wu Xianyu's taste.
Originally, Wu Xianyu wanted to ask Lin Miaomiao if the food was delicious, but when he turned around and looked at Lin Miaomiao, whose mouth was full of meat, he knew there was no need to ask.
Lin Miaomiao was very satisfied with the meal, but the burger was too big. After finishing the whole burger, Lin Miaomiao wanted to say "one more", but as soon as she opened her mouth, a burp came out of her mouth. Wu Xianyu saw her like this, handed her a tissue, and said with a smile
"Let's make it next time. This is my first time making it, and I was afraid it wouldn't be done well, so I made two. If you're not full, there are still a few potato pancakes."
Lin Miaomiao burped several times in succession, feeling that she was bloated to the point of having her throat bulged. She quickly waved her head and drank a sip of warm water before speaking.
"No, I'm too full. This is the first time I've eaten so much with just one burger. It's so satisfying. Burp."
Lin Miaomiao got up with difficulty and went to the bathroom, where she washed her face thoroughly. When she came out of the bathroom, her face had become refreshed and clean.
Wu Xianyu finished the hamburger and the remaining two potato pancakes, making himself very full. The main reason was that fried food like potato pancakes were only delicious when they were fresh out of the pan. They would become greasy after cooling down, and it would be a waste to throw them away directly. Wu Xianyu could only try hard and finish them all at once.
After dinner, the two of them each held a cup of water, leaned against each other and watched TV, yawning from time to time.
After drinking the water in the cup, Lin Miaomiao rubbed her eyes and looked at Wu Xianyu.
“Are you sleepy?”
"A little bit. I ate too much this time and I feel a little dizzy."
"Me too, how about we go to bed?"
Lin Miaomiao looked at Wu Xianyu, her eyes flashing with an ambiguous light. Wu Xianyu looked at her like this, not knowing what she was thinking, and spoke carefully.
"Tell me what you want to do first."
"Oh, why do you think so bad of me? I just wanted to try out the new bed to see if it's comfortable to sleep on."
"Oh, then just go ahead."
Hearing that it was just this matter, Wu Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief, but before Lin Miaomiao finished her words, the corners of her mouth curved up, revealing two rows of white teeth.
"Let's sleep together. You can't let me sleep in your bed first."
"Isn't this bad?"
Wu Xianyu was a little tempted, but his reason told him that this was not a good idea.
Lin Miaomiao pulled Wu Xianyu up and walked towards the bedroom while saying
"You're already so exhausted, how can you think about doing anything else? I'm not afraid of you, so why should you be afraid? Come on."
As the bedroom door was closed, Yuwan and Laotie yawned beside the sweeping robot that had returned to the charging station to charge.
