Help You Keep

Xia Yanchun went downstairs feeling depressed, only to find that Shen Nian was already waiting for her.

At least he had some self-awareness.

Xia Yanchun had just been embarrassed and annoyed, so she was in a bad mood right now. She had already planned to sulk for twenty minutes.

Shen Nian's luggage mainly consisted of his computer. He carefully placed it in the trunk and told Aunt Wen to drive safely before he comfortably got into the back seat.

A ten thousand yuan computer wasn't considered expensive to him. Broadcasting for an hour and a half a day, he could buy a new one in two days. But it was still ten thousand yuan, so it was impossible not to feel a little heartache over it.

What kind of person could really treat money like dirt?

Anyway, Shen Nian couldn't.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yanchun, who would normally sit in the passenger seat, also got into the back seat, keeping her head down and looking at her phone without saying a word.

As the car slowly drove away from home, Shen Nian saw her looking a bit silly and couldn't help but raise his hand to pinch her soft cheek.

Xia Yanchun simply ignored him.

Shen Nian rubbed his chin. Did he touch her for too long last night and make Chunbao angry?

He had clearly kissed her before going to sleep, so that shouldn't be the case.

Shen Nian felt that the high probability was that she had argued with Aunt Wen.

It wasn't like the mother and daughter hadn't argued before, but a big fight was quite rare. In Shen Nian's memory, their last argument was in the sixth grade.

Shen Nian didn't know the exact reason. He only knew that Xia Yanchun had run to his house crying and wiping her tears without saying anything. In the end, it didn't even take two hours for Aunt Wen to coax her, and she happily followed her home.

"What's wrong?" Shen Nian covered his mouth and asked in a low voice.

However, in the narrow space of the car, no matter how low the voice was, one could still hear the gist of it. Wen Zhingning looked up at the rearview mirror and curled her lips.

"Browsing my phone." Xia Yanchun gave him a small response.

"Oh."

"..."

What was this guy trying to do, asking just once and then stopping...

Xia Yanchun felt depressed. She turned to look out the window, rolled it down, and let the hot wind outside blow across her face and hair.

With her hair not being long and only tied into a small ponytail, Xia Yanchun was not afraid of her hair being messed up by the wind at all. In terms of her hair, she was much more casual than many girls.

The temperature in the car rose a bit, but it was still acceptable, and Shen Nian didn't feel hot either.

Once he bought a car, he could drive back to the town himself without having to bother his parents or Uncle Xia and Aunt Wen every time.

The familiar small town gradually faded away. Past the town entrance was a long national highway. Every now and then, there were shops providing water for large trucks, and there were also many gas stations. After driving for a while longer, they entered the urban area.

Shen Nian observed Aunt Wen's driving technique along the way. It turned out that experienced drivers drove in a similar way. When turning, they all used the muscles around their thumbs to push the steering wheel.

It was already afternoon when they arrived at the residential area.

Because they hadn't been here for a long time, Wen Zhingning followed Xia Yanchun upstairs and helped clean the house along the way. For Shen Nian's side, since Shen Yue had been living there, it saved a lot of trouble. After clearing the clutter on the table and sweeping the floor, the room was clean and tidy.

After setting up the computer and organizing all the clothes and shoes, Shen Nian looked around the room and felt immediately satisfied.

There were still some chargers and other things in his backpack. Just as Shen Nian was about to organize them, he unzipped it, and a small, plastic-sealed box suddenly caught his eye.

A pink box, incomprehensible Japanese text, 0.03...

Shen Nian was stunned for a moment, and after that, he immediately understood.

"..."

So, his mom coming up early in the morning saying she wanted to help him pack his luggage, and then saying his backpack was a bit dirty and needed to be wiped, taking it out of the room... it was all to secretly slip this little thing into his backpack...

Shen Nian covered his face. His heart was beating a bit fast, and it was hard to describe his current mood.

Boys always had an inexplicable anticipation and nervousness about these things.

Anyway, he was already nineteen... it was quite normal when he thought about it.

Shen Nian looked at it for a while and still chose to put this little thing in the bottom layer of his drawer, lest Haji-Chun see it one day and curse him for being a perverted, lustful daydreamer.

After busying himself for a few minutes, the miscellaneous items in his backpack were also settled.

A clean and odor-free room was indeed pleasing to the eye.

"Shen Nian, Shen Nian!"

Xia Yanchun's voice came from the living room. Shen Nian responded, and a moment later, the bedroom door was opened by Xia Yanchun.

As soon as she entered the room, Xia Yanchun flopped onto the bed, looking as if she had worked for half a day, and complained resentfully, "When I'm in the town, I want to go to school, but once I'm out of the city, I want to go back to the town. I'm having withdrawal symptoms from our hometown, boohoo."

"Your symptom is easy to cure. Taking you out for two good meals will do the trick."

"I was just about to say that. How about it? Is my handsome Nianbao going to take his big sister out for a nice meal?" Xia Yanchun swung her feet back and forth, resting her head on her hands and looking at Shen Nian, her eyes curving into crescents.

"Sure, we definitely have to get hotpot twice."

"Hotpot isn't nice enough, and it leaves you smelling like hotpot. I'm not eating that."

"You used to say that self-service mini hotpot was a nice meal. Now that you have four hundred thousand, your standards have changed?"

"Back then, I was afraid you didn't have money, living on an eight hundred a month food allowance. Now that I know you're rich, of course I have to rip you off."

Shen Nian sat on the chair with his legs crossed and chuckled, "Alright, you Haji-Chun. Before, you wanted to leech off my traffic, and now you want to drain my wallet. You really get all the benefits."

"Hmph, I will leech and I will drain."

"Forget it, forget it. Who asked me to be just an honest guy? With a little trick from Chunbao, I'm completely wrapped around your finger." Shen Nian spread his hands, slightly coaxing her to make Chunbao happy.

Xia Yanchun felt delighted in her heart and rolled around on Shen Nian's bed hugging a pillow.

Shen Nian's pillow had a smell of being pressed in the closet for a long time, which wasn't very pleasant. Xia Yanchun deliberately lay on it, trying to transfer the scent of her shampoo onto it to make the pillow smell nice.

In the future, when Shen Nian went to sleep, he would think of her as soon as he smelled it, hehe.

Xia Yanchun quickly realized how silly she was. Shen Nian slept with her every day, so what was the point of making him think of her...

She came here for serious business.

Xia Yanchun patted her small face, stood straight up, walked up to Shen Nian, and held out her left hand. "Where's your thing? Take it out."

"Th-that?"

Shen Nian's expression looked odd, and for a moment, he hesitated about whether he should take off his pants.

"Just, just that thing, the condom..." Xia Yanchun's voice grew quieter and quieter, and her small face flushed red.

A girl asking a guy for this kind of thing, no matter how Xia Yanchun thought about it, she felt it was extremely weird.

"I don't have any." Shen Nian liked to tell little lies, his face not red and his heart not skipping a beat. "Why say that all of a sudden? Did you see me secretly buy some when we were traveling?"

"Hmph, don't think I don't know. My mom already told me. Auntie also stuffed a box for you."

"..."

He was shaking with anger. Auntie, if you wanted to stuff some for Haji-Chun, just do it. Why did you have to sell me out?

I was still planning to secretly study them later tonight.

Shen Nian had never been someone who easily compromised. He probed, "What do you want it for?"

"I'm afraid that looking at it will make you fantasize about nonsense, so I'm going to keep them all together for safekeeping." Xia Yanchun said righteously.

"How is that possible? I have no worldly desires, really."

"You can fool yourself, but you want to fool me?"

"Anyway, I'm not giving it to you."
