"Nannan, co out and practice with Grandpa!"
The old man called out to the kitchen.
"No, I haven't finished my food yet. Grandpa, you go play by yourself!"
In the kitchen, An Nannan was perched at the edge of the countertop, where Xu Musen would let her taste test each dish as soon as he finished making it.
With her mouth dripping oil, An Nannan really didn't want to leave.
The grandpa was stunned for a mont, his heart feeling a bittersweet pang. Ah, girls really do grow up and away!
Alone, he went out to sulkily practice with his knife.
The grandma smiled, looking at the warm scene in the kitchen, her expression was filled with tenderness.
After dinner.
Xu Musen didn't stay today; he still had to go back to the neighborhood to oversee the furniture installation.
After he left.
An Nuannuan felt sowhat reluctant to part, and also a bit excited.
The grandma ca over and patted her on the head, "Silly girl, you see him every day and still can't bear to part huh?"
An Nuannuan giggled.
Then the grandma spoke up again, "Nuannuan, when his house is renovated, do you want to move in with him?"
Grandma was speaking her mind frankly.
An Nuannuan's cheeks flushed as she nodded, "Grandma, I want to learn to take care of myself with him, and also to take good care of him."
Looking at her granddaughter's expression, the grandma felt a surge of emotions. At least the current Nuannuan was much better than when she used to just daydream all day.
The grandpa also sighed and quietly took a sip of his drink.
"Grandma, I'll also co ho often to see you and Grandpa," An Nuannuan said imdiately upon noticing the wistful look on her grandmother's face.
But that sentence might as well have been left unspoken; as soon as she said it, the grandparents exchanged a glance, their hearts feeling even heavier.
"Silly girl, you're not even married yet and you're already talking about coming ho for visits."
The grandma was bemused, thinking how much more difficult it would be when she actually got married.
An Nuannuan's ears tinged pink, "Grandma, I didn't an it like that…"
"Alright, alright, we know," the grandma interrupted. "We won't stop you, but there are so things I still want to discuss with you."
Saying that, the grandma took An Nuannuan upstairs.
Not long after, Aunt Xiang also ca back from outside, greeted everyone, and went straight upstairs.
Upstairs, after talking with Nuannuan for a while, the grandma left smiling when Aunt Xiang ca in.
"Nuannuan, I know about you and him," Aunt Xiang said as she patted Nuannuan's head, having watched her grow up over the years, almost like her own daughter.
Clearing her throat, Aunt Xiang said, "It's normal for young people to cohabitate, but there are things you have to be mindful of. Your health has just recovered, so taking care of it is imperative. If you guys end up…"
Aunt Xiang was already being very tactful, speaking on behalf of the grandmother.
"That is, if you do that sort of… adult activity, the one that involves taking off clothes, then..."
Considering Nuannuan's normally naive nature, Aunt Xiang thought to explain it in a more delicate but clear manner.
"Are you talking about having babies?"
But before she could finish, An Nuannuan's voice interrupted.
"Uh..."
Aunt Xiang, seeing An Nuannuan's earnest look, suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, "As long as you understand, that's good. Your family hasn't said you can't be intimate, but you need to be careful with your body. If one day you two can't control yourselves, make sure you get him to use this."
Aunt Xiang said, taking out sothing she had specially bought from her bag.
"What is this?" An Nuannuan, truly a blank slate in this area, inquired.
"This is called... well, it's a very safe thing. If you're going to sleep together and he wants to make a move, give him this, and he'll know what to do. Of course, if he doesn't make a move, you really shouldn't take it out."
Aunt Xiang explained, then suddenly rembered to issue a specific warning.
Otherwise, a girl holding this thing might make her boyfriend think she's taking the initiative.
An Nuannuan seed thoughtful and responded with an "Oh."
"And this dication... take it too. Rember, he absolutely must use what I gave you just now, but if you really weren't careful, then make sure you take this afterward. If by chance you do get pregnant, your body can't handle it right now. And rember, you can't take this dicine frequently; only in an ergency, okay?"
Aunt Xiang took out a box of dication, emphasizing the instructions, wanting to prevent any accidents for her niece.
An Nuannuan understood the care her family had for her, nodded firmly, and put these items in the most interior part of her bag.
Watching Nuannuan's shy yet eager deanor, Aunt Xiang couldn't help but think how, just over half a year ago, Nuannuan was just a little girl lost in daydreams.
Their concerns stemd from familial care, not from a true lack of trust in Xu Musen.
In fact, after nearly a year of interaction, they had long since trusted Xu Musen.
The current Nuannuan was undoubtedly the version everyone hoped to see.
Aunt Xiang patted her head, and after giving her instructions, she revealed a smile, "From now on, he'll take care of you, live well."
"Mhm mhm!"
...
Downstairs.
"Grandpa, does it an my sister won't be living at ho anymore?"
An Nannan was also feeling reluctant. Would that an she couldn't even sleep with her sister on weekends anymore?
Grandpa drowned his sorrows in alcohol, "Yes, once a girl is married, she's like spilled water. Just think, we don't lack food or clothes at ho, but once girls grow up, you just can't keep them."
An Nannan's big eyes whirred around, "Does that an my sister can only eat and play with him from now on?"
"Ah, you could say that, my dear granddaughter. Luckily, Nannan, you won't be leaving anyti soon, or else it would just be your grandma and left in this house..."
Feeling quite troubled inside, Grandpa was already slightly tipsy from the wine.
An Nannan smacked her lips, enjoying the small dessert that Xu Musen had specially made for her on the table.
Her mind, however, was churning.
Didn't that an her sister would get to eat his cooking every day and go out to play with him all the ti?
For so reason, An Nannan suddenly felt quite envious.
"Grandpa..."
"What is it, my dear granddaughter?"
"Well, can I go live at his house too, in the future?"
An Nannan blinked her big eyes expectantly.
Grandpa's glass practically clinked in his hand.
Both his granddaughters...
This one thing, the wooden dummy in the courtyard was about to suffer an old punishnt...
...
Xu Musen returned to the residential complex.
The installation crew had arrived as well.
As furniture was gradually installed in the room, it began to feel like a ho.
For a man, a house is still a matter of persistence.
Without a ho of one's own in a city always seems a bit unsettling.
"Careful with that bathtub!"
Two installers strained under the weight of a massage bathtub.
"Hm?"
Xu Musen paused, "Wait a minute, I didn't buy a bathtub, did I?"
The installer checked the list, "But it shows you did on the list, and the paynt has already been made. Take a look."
Xu Musen took the list and saw that it wasn't just the massage bathtub; there were other pieces of furniture and appliances as well.
This...
Xu Musen was certain he hadn't bought these items, and it was definitely not a boss's giveaway, as they weren't cheap.
Just the massage bathtub alone was in the five-figure range.
Could it be that Nuannuan had secretly bought them?
Xu Musen was about to call An Nuannuan and ask.
But then, a rhythmic footsteps approached from behind.
A voice, pleasant to the ear and tinged with playfulness, spoke.
"These are my gift to you."
Xu Musen turned and t those familiar phoenix eyes.
Yao Mingyue's eyes were bright, her lips curved in a sly arc.
"A congratulatory gift for your move, Brother Musen~"
