"You'll have many expenses in the future. High school might start charging tuition, and university costs even more. If you study hard, you won't have time for part-time jobs, so you need to be thrifty with your money," Mian Mian said.
Yun Bujun looked at her serious expression, his lips curving upwards, a gentle smile lingering on his face.
"What are you smiling at? I'm being serious," Mian Mian glared at him, her eyes wide with mock anger.
"I'm smiling because you look just like a little housewife right now. I get it, I'll be good," Yun Bujun promised her earnestly.
"Hmph, I'm going home. I'm not talking to you anymore," Mian Mian moved her legs, got up, and prepared to leave.
"Don't go! You've come all this way, why don't you stay for dinner? You must be hungry," Yun Bujun quickly stopped her.
"Okay, perhaps. But I'm so hot right now. Can I take a shower first?" Mian Mian had worked up a sweat that afternoon and felt uncomfortable.
She was used to being clean, and suddenly being covered in sweat with no way to wash was almost unbearable.
"You can, but I don't have any clothes you can wear," Yun Bujun said, scratching his head.
"Just lend me your washed school uniform. I can't stand it anymore, please?" Mian Mian looked at him with her big, watery eyes.
"I'll get it," Yun Bujun was actually quite nervous. Only Zhou Hao had ever been here before. Two guys showering together was casual, but a girl coming in, let alone showering, was unprecedented.
Because of the sports meet, the athletes were all wearing long pants and t-shirts. Mian Mian felt even hotter. Yun Bujun finally found his school uniform and handed it to Mian Mian, saying, "I washed it. Um, I'll order some food. You go ahead and wash up."
Mian Mian hugged his clothes and immediately walked out.
"Wait, let me find you a towel. You can make do with this for now," Yun Bujun quickly rummaged through his belongings and finally found a new towel to hand to her.
Mian Mian took the towel and ran off quickly.
Yun Bujun stared after her.
Looking at the closed bathroom door, Yun Bujun suddenly felt like laughing. Did this little girl know what she was doing? Did she trust him this much?
Yun Bujun took two deep breaths and suddenly thought of changing the lock. Zhou Hao had a key to his place. It seemed he couldn't let Zhou Hao into his home so casually anymore!
The next time Zhou Hao visited, he looked at the iron door, now equipped with a smart lock, completely bewildered. Why had Yun Ge changed the lock without telling him? No, why did Yun Ge need to change the lock at all?
After Mian Mian's shower, she finally felt comfortable and let out a long sigh of relief. Yun Bujun's school uniform was likely from two years ago. Fortunately, it didn't smell bad. It was still too big on her, the top reaching her knees, and the pants were too long, so Mian Mian had to roll up the cuffs. When she returned to the room, Yun Bujun had a hairdryer ready. "Come here, dry your hair."
"Do you need to dry your hair when it's this short?" Mian Mian found it rather surprising that he had a hairdryer.
"Of course not, I wouldn't use this. I just bought it. The quality is probably not good, but you can use it this once," Yun Bujun explained.
He had just thought of it and rushed out to buy one. The quality from a small convenience store was certainly not great.
"Ah? You didn't have to go out of your way to buy one. It's pretty hot now, it would have dried naturally," Mian Mian said.
