Chapter 8: Must You Be So Nervous?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When they reached the third floor, Du Xi walked straight to Jiang Ju’s door. He raised his chin and gestured for her to open the door for him. He looked like he wanted to give all these things to her, shocking Jiang Ju so much that she was speechless. He chose the best and most expensive things that cost a total of more than a thousand yuan. If she bought them at the market at the same price, they would be enough to last her a month, but she would probably finish them in half a month. She had just received the rent and didn’t want to spend it so quickly.

“You… should bring these things back to your place. My fridge is already full. There’s no room.”

Du Xi was ten years older than her, so he could tell what she was thinking at a glance. Didn’t she just feel that the two of them weren’t familiar with each other and was embarrassed to accept his things? He insisted on giving them to her. He insisted that she accept these things today no matter what.

“Open the door first and put as much as you can. If it can’t fit, I’ll take it back.” Seeing that she didn’t move, Du Xi frowned. “It’s getting late. Don’t dawdle. Hurry up and open the door and put the things in. Aren’t you going to eat?”

At the mention of eating, Jiang Ju remembered that when Du Xi came back, he was carrying a box of food. However, Du Xi seemed to have forgotten about it now and had no intention of going back to eat. Jiang Ju quietly looked up at him, but when she saw the amusement in his eyes, she blushed.

The other party’s attitude was firm and there was no room for negotiation. Jiang Ju could only take out her key and open the door, allowing him to swagger in, as if he was in his own house. When she went out, she forgot to turn off the air conditioner, so when she entered and was blown by the cold wind, she couldn’t help but sneeze a few times.

Du Xi placed the things on the coffee table and raised the temperature of the air conditioner by a few degrees. “Turn off the air conditioner the next time you go out. If you suffer the heat and chill too intermittently, you might catch a cold.”

Jiang Ju agreed and went to the bathroom to wash her hands. When she came out, she saw that Du Xi had already brought everything into the kitchen. She started to feel nervous again. The fridge was already empty. If he opened it, wouldn’t he know that she was lying just now?

Seeing him walk towards the fridge, Jiang Ju subconsciously shouted, “Wait!” Du Xi stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. Jiang Ju said, “I can clean up myself. You’re sweating, so you should go back and take a shower first.”

Du Xi didn’t work today, and the clothes he was wearing were newly changed in the morning. The sweat was also from the scorching sun when the two of them had just left the house. If it were any other time, he would definitely be too lazy to change his clothes. However, now that he was standing in Jiang Ju’s place, his nose was filled with her pleasant scent. He suddenly felt that it was very necessary to take a shower.

If she wanted him to take a shower, so be it. It wasn’t a big deal. However, did this young lady have to be so nervous? From the sweat on her forehead, one would think that it was raining outside.

“I’ll go later. I’ll help you put these things in first.” With that, he reached out to open the fridge. Jiang Ju didn’t know how to refuse, and her heart was in her throat. From the corner of Du Xi’s eye, he saw Jiang Ju’s worried expression. Du Xi understood and stopped opening the door.

“I’m sweating all over, so I’ll go back and take a shower first. I’ll help you put them away later.” As soon as he finished speaking, he could see the child in front of him heave a sigh of relief. Seeing her relieved expression, Du Xi almost laughed out loud. As expected of a child. She couldn’t hide anything on her mind. This was good too. He could read her mind easily and didn’t have to guess.

Seeing that Du Xi had returned to his place, Jiang Ju quickly returned to the kitchen, put the things in the shopping bag into the fridge, and started to make lunch. It was past lunchtime, so she planned to cook two simple dishes. As for whether Du Xi would like them, that wasn’t her concern.

Just as the rice was cooked, Du Xi returned drenched. The sweat that had not been dried dripped from his chin to his chest. He held a black vest in his hand and leaned against the kitchen door. His expression was aloof, like that of a lion that was sunbathing after eating its fill.

Jiang Ju glanced at him from the corner of her eye and saw that he was naked. She felt so bashful that she didn’t dare to raise her head. Her back was facing him and her gaze was fixed on the washed vegetables in front of her.

Du Xi said, “Do you know how to sew clothes? My vest became frayed, so please help sew it.” In this situation, Jiang Ju couldn’t say no, so she could only agree. After all, she wasn’t as composed as Du Xi. She couldn’t accept a naked man wandering around her house.
