Around 2:30 in the afternoon, the two drove to Moxianfufan, the same residential area where they had bought their apartments.
After parking the car, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan took the elevator to the sixth floor.
Exiting the elevator, apartment 601 was on their left, and Xia Nuannuan's apartment, 602, was directly opposite.
“Which way first?”
Qin Tian asked Xia Nuannuan with a smile.
Xia Nuannuan smiled and gestured to their left, replying, “Yours first!”
“Alright!”
Qin Tian nodded with a smile, took out the keys he had prepared from his pocket, and led Xia Nuannuan to open the door.
Upon entering, both of their eyes lit up.
Before leaving Jiangcheng, Qin Tian had asked Sun Yi to help air out the apartments and buy some potted plants to remove any lingering odors.
It was clear that this career elite, who had now transferred to work under Old Xia, had done a better job than he had imagined.
The apartment was spotlessly clean, with no trace of dust. The floor tiles were so shiny they could be used as mirrors.
There was no trace of any unpleasant smell in the air either; it was filled with a faint floral and grassy fragrance.
“We should have bought slippers before coming.”
Xia Nuannuan looked at the immaculate floor, hesitant to step onto it directly.
“It’s alright, your shoes aren’t dirty,”
Qin Tian smiled and led her to the living room.
On both sides of the TV wall in the living room, as well as on the balcony connected to it, were placed several green plants and potted plants.
It was afternoon, and the sunlight streamed diagonally into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony, making the somewhat empty living room appear even cleaner and brighter.
“This is great!”
Xia Nuannuan exclaimed with a sweet smile as she looked around.
Qin Tian turned his head to look at her and smiled, “Then why don’t we go buy a bed first, then the bedding, and sleep here tonight?”
“Ah?”
Xia Nuannuan froze for a moment, then her pretty face flushed a visible shade of red, and she glared at him, both embarrassed and annoyed.
“What are you thinking? I won’t!”
“What do you mean? The dorms at school aren’t open today, so should we go to a hotel later?”
“No!”
Xia Nuannuan’s face turned even redder at the thought of what happened at the hotel on New Year’s Eve.
“I mean, let’s go buy the beds for both master bedrooms first, and then set them up. That way, we’ll have a place to stay for these couple of days. What were you thinking?”
Qin Tian said with a playful smile.
Xia Nuannuan blinked, puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, and complained with a flushed face, “Then you should have explained clearly! You did that on purpose!”
“I explained it very clearly. You’re the one who misunderstood,”
Qin Tian put on a look of feigned helplessness.
“Pah, pah, pah, don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t,”
Xia Nuannuan spat at him a few times with a flushed face, vehemently denying it.
“Let’s go, let’s take a look at your place, then we’ll move the luggage up first before going to the furniture store,”
Qin Tian said with a chuckle.
Xia Nuannuan rolled her eyes, snorted, and turned her head away.
…
…
After moving the luggage up, the two found a place to eat lunch and then went to the largest chain furniture store in Jiangcheng.
It was a globally renowned furniture and home retail brand from abroad, offering a wide variety of products with diverse functions, making it a convenient place to purchase furniture.
Led by a salesperson, they first browsed around for a bit and soon became engrossed, feeling like they wanted to buy everything and arrange it in their little homes.
“Are you two decorating a marital home?”
The saleslady asked with a smile.
Xia Nuannuan immediately blushed crimson at this.
“Why do you say that?”
Qin Tian asked curiously.
“Because young couples like you who come to browse furniture stores together are usually decorating a marital home, and you two look so compatible,”
The saleslady explained with a smile.
“I see.”
Qin Tian nodded in realization.
“We’re still in college, no, it’s not for a marital home!”
Xia Nuannuan denied with a flushed face.
“Oh, really? I’m so sorry, so sorry.”
The saleslady apologized repeatedly.
“It’s alright, it’s almost like that,”
Qin Tian waved his hand dismissively.
The saleslady blinked in surprise.
Xia Nuannuan nudged him with her elbow, embarrassed and annoyed, and continued to explain to the saleslady, “He and I both bought an apartment, in the same building, and we came together to see how to decorate it.”
“Is that so!”
The saleslady nodded with a smile and suggested, “Then shall I take you to see more? We have some very popular boutique model rooms ahead. You two will surely gain some inspiration from them.”
“No need. We just arrived in Jiangcheng today, and we don’t have much time. Could you please take us to see the beds first? We can discuss the rest another day,”
Qin Tian requested with a smile.
“Certainly, certainly. Please follow me this way,”
The saleslady nodded repeatedly and then led them to the bedroom series section.
There were many types of beds alone, a dazzling array that left one feeling overwhelmed.
Qin Tian’s standard for choosing a bed was simple: it had to be big and comfortable.
His eyes immediately fell on a conspicuously large round bed, and he pointed at it.
“Can this be delivered today?” “Yes, but this bed has an inner diameter of 2.2 meters and an outer diameter of 2.4 meters. It’s one of our larger bed models. You’ll need a sufficiently large bedroom to ensure the layout isn’t too cramped after it’s placed.”
The saleslady replied with a smile.
“My master bedroom is quite large, it should be enough. This one it is for me. What do you think, Nuannuan?”
Qin Tian asked Xia Nuannuan for her opinion.
The saleslady, hearing this, also looked at her with a teasing smile.
“Buy whatever you want to buy, why are you asking me!”
Xia Nuannuan said with a flushed face and an annoyed tone.
“It’s just that…”
Qin Tian was about to playfully say that it would be used by both of them, so he naturally had to ask for her thoughts.
He only managed half the sentence before swallowing the rest in submission under Xia Nuannuan’s death glare.
“Alright, then you take a look and see which one you’d like,”
Qin Tian decisively changed the subject.
Xia Nuannuan rolled her eyes, chose to ignore him, and scanned her surroundings to pick a bed for her master bedroom.
Under the saleslady’s recommendation, she eventually settled on a modern minimalist style princess bed.
Her bed was only one meter eighty wide, much smaller compared to Qin Tian’s.
After they had decided, the saleslady presented the prices for both beds.
Qin Tian’s large round bed was priced at 6888, while Xia Nuannuan’s princess bed was slightly cheaper at 3888. Both came with two bedside tables.
The saleslady promised a discount if both beds were purchased together.
Qin Tian was very straightforward, immediately asking her to place the order and issue the invoice, then he followed her to swipe his card to pay.
