258 a surprise from jiang che
Shi Yan and Jiang che made a trip to the small courtyard after dinner. Jiang che mainly took Shi Yan to see the renovation and check on the progress. He also wanted her to give some suggestions.
When they arrived at the small courtyard, Shi Yan found out that the renovation was already halfway done. It was not difficult to see how much effort Jiang che had put into it from the fast progress.
shi yan didn’t have any suggestions for the renovation. the style of the renovation was all according to jiang che’s arrangements. shi yan looked at it and found it to her liking.
in terms of preferences, she and jiang che had a lot in common.
since she had no suggestions for the renovation, she did trim the flowers in the yard and watered them with water.
it was almost nine o ‘clock in the evening when they left the small courtyard.
Jiang che drove while Shi Yan sat in the front passenger seat.
Shi Yan had thought that Jiang che would return to the Jiang family after sending her back to the dormitory. However, when she left the small courtyard, she realized that Jiang che was not heading in the direction of the school.
“where are we going?” he asked.
Jiang Che’s slender and good-looking hands were on the steering wheel. Hearing her words, his eyes seemed to contain a hint of a smile as he replied, ” “Let’s keep it a secret first.”
They had always said what was on their minds. It was rare to see him acting so mysterious. Shi Yan raised her eyebrows in surprise.
he didn’t ask any further and just waited quietly.
unconsciously, a trace of anticipation appeared in her heart.
it was mainly because he seemed to have prepared a surprise for her.
in the past, she was not the kind of person who would look forward to surprises. she was calm and composed when she encountered things. that was her.
unknowingly, she seemed to have changed a lot.
they didn’t go very far and arrived at their destination in just a few minutes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtit was a small district.
Although it was further from the school than their small courtyard, there was no traffic jam and it was only a half an hour drive from the school.
After parking the car in the neighborhood, Shi Yan and Jiang che took the elevator upstairs.
It only stopped on the 23rd floor.
As soon as she got out of the elevator, she met two people.
It was an acquaintance.
They were holding hands and seemed to be heading out. It was Jing Xuan and song Meilian.
Seeing Shi Yan here, song Meilian also seemed very surprised,”shi yan, what are you doing here?”
Shi Yan didn’t answer. She just smiled at Jiang che and song Meilian understood.
he looked at jing xuan. ” you said on the phone yesterday that you’ve given one of the two apartments you bought to a friend. is that the fifth master jiang? ”
“yes.” jing xuan nodded.
she looked at jiang che and shi yan and greeted them, not too warm but not too distant either.”Fifth Lord Jiang, miss Shi.”
“Master Jing,” jiang che nodded slightly.
Shi Yan also nodded in greeting.
after greeting her, shi yan asked song meilian,”you want to go out?”
in just a few words, she had roughly guessed what the situation was.
Jing Xuan must have bought two apartments here long ago, and Jiang che must have bought one from him.
“let’s go back to the dormitory,” song meilian said.
It seemed like he didn’t plan to spend the night here.
Shi Yan nodded to show her understanding.
Song Meilian glanced at the two adjacent apartments and said to Shi Yan,”It seems that we’re not only fated to be roommates, but also neighbors. If we come over in the future, we can be companions.”
“I have to thank master Jing for buying two apartments here in advance,” Shi Yan said with a faint smile.
song meilian didn’t say much. after a short chat, she left with jing xuan.
Jiang che entered the password and opened the door to enter.
the apartment wasn’t big, only about 130 square meters. it had three bedrooms and a living room, all well decorated. there was a master bedroom, a guest room, and a study.
the decoration style was not very gorgeous and was relatively simple.
shi yan sized up the apartment and asked with a faint smile,”teacher jiang, what’s going on?”
Jiang che led her to the sofa and sat down. He poured her a glass of warm water, then sat down beside her and explained, ” the villa’s courtyard still needs to be renovated for some time. After the renovation, it will be a few months before you can move in. It’s a long way from the Jiang family to Haicheng University, so I’m worried about you staying here alone.
He had not thought of this before. He had only planned to do so after exposing Shi Yan.
She was mainly afraid that he would be too far away and he wouldn’t be able to arrive in time if something happened to her.
” it’s not difficult to buy an apartment near haicheng university, but it’s not easy to buy an apartment that has been renovated for a few months without anyone living in it. ”
“it took me a few days to find two sets. i thought it would take some effort to buy them, so i didn’t tell you in advance. I didn’t expect the two apartments to be on the same floor, and the owner is Jing Xuan.”
” it’s just an apartment. jing xuan and i can be considered acquaintances. if i ask for it, he will still give me face. today, he directly sent someone to handle the transfer procedures. ”
no one moved in here after it was renovated, so the furniture is all new. I got someone to buy some daily necessities and also sent over a lot of our clothes and books. I also brought over a few of your favorite books.
“Do you want to take a look?”
shi yan naturally nodded.
Living room, balcony.
he saw a few pots of orchids on the balcony, one of which looked very familiar.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“mr. jiang, did you just get this apartment last night?” shi yan smiled and looked at the person beside her.
To be exact, it was after his phone call with her last night.
When he was on the phone with her, he had also mentioned that he would raise this pot of plain-crowned Lotus cauldron in the courtyard of the villa that had not been renovated. If they had agreed on this apartment at that time, he would not have mentioned those things to her.
jiang che was not surprised that she could guess it.
“Miss Shi, you’re so smart. I can’t hide anything from you,” he said with a smile.
“i’ll take you to the study.”
there were four bookshelves in the study. three of them were filled with books, and one of them was filled with jiang che’s work documents.
There was a set of sofas for guests, and in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows was the tatami mat that Shi Yan liked to sit and read. Of course, it was not moved over from the Jiang family, but was prepared by Jiang che.
there were two desks.
however, they were not placed side by side.
shi yan’s desk was placed to the side. if she sat at the desk reading, she would be able to see jiang che when she looked up. if jiang che sat at the desk and worked, he would be able to see her when he turned his head.
It was not difficult for Shi Yan to tell which desk was hers. Jiang Che’s desk had a computer and many documents, while Shi Yan’s desk only had a small potted plant and a laptop.
seeing the pile of documents on jiang che’s desk, shi yan looked at him in surprise. ” “You’ve moved all your things here and are planning to live here for a long time?”
jiang che raised his hand and stroked her long hair, his gaze gentle. ” we only packed up the things that needed to be handled for the next two days. We didn’t touch much of the things in the bamboo garden. We’ll stay here when you’re at school. We’ll go back to the bamboo garden on the weekends.
After all, the apartment could not be compared to the courtyard.
The bamboo garden had a good view, but the apartment’s conditions were limited.
There were many people who worked part-time and couldn’t make it back to the dormitory at night, so Haicheng University rarely checked on their dormitories. It was actually not a problem for them to stay outside occasionally.
however, if he wanted to live outside, he would have to apply to the school.
shi yan went to the kitchen, the guest room, and the master bedroom.
Jiang che did not accompany her. He went to the bathroom to wash up.
The kitchen was well-equipped, and he could totally buy ingredients and cook by himself. The guest room was not decorated much, but the master bedroom was very well tidied up. The bed and quilt were new, and there were many clothes for the two of them hanging in the cloakroom.
This was completely a small home.
Jiang che came out of the bathroom and saw Shi Yan standing in the room in a daze. He walked over to her, his body covered in steam, and hugged her from the side.”what are you thinking about?”
