"You'll have too many expenses in the future. High school might require 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 earnest expression, his lips curving upwards, a gentle smile lingering on his lips.
"What are you smiling at? I'm being serious," Mian Mian said, glaring at him with wide, annoyed eyes.
"I'm smiling because you look just like a housewife right now. I understand. I'll be good," Yun Bujun promised her very seriously.
"Hmph, I'm going home. I'm not talking to you anymore," Mian Mian said, putting her legs down and getting up to leave.
"Don't go. Since you're here, why don't you stay for dinner? You must be hungry," Yun Bujun quickly urged her to stay.
"Alright, I guess. But I'm really hot right now. Can I take a shower first?" Mian Mian had worked up a sweat that afternoon and felt uncomfortable.
She was accustomed to being clean, and the sudden sweat and inability to wash were unbearable.
"Sure, 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 said, blinking her big, watery eyes at him.
"I'll go get it." Yun Bujun was actually a bit nervous. Only Zhou Hao had ever been here before. Two guys showering was casual, but a girl had never been inside, let alone showered.
Because of the sports meet, the athletes were all wearing long pants and t-shirts. Mian Mian felt even hotter now. Yun Bujun finally found his school uniform and handed it to Mian Mian. "I've washed it. Uh, I'll order takeout. You go ahead and wash up."
Mian Mian hugged his clothes and immediately walked out.
"Wait, I'll find you a towel. You can use it for now," Yun Bujun quickly rummaged through his drawers and cabinets, finally finding a new towel to hand her.
Mian Mian took the towel and ran off quickly.
Yun Bujun...
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 a deep breath 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 with its newly installed smart lock, utterly bewildered. Why did Yun Ge change the lock without telling him? No, why did Yun Ge need to change the lock?
After Mian Mian showered, she finally felt comfortable, letting out a long sigh. Yun Bujun's school uniform was probably from two years ago. Fortunately, it didn't smell. It was still too big on her, the top reaching her knees, and the pants too long. Mian Mian had to roll up the cuffs. When she returned to the room, Yun Bujun had already prepared a hairdryer and said, "Come here, dry your hair."
"You need to blow-dry even your short hair?" Mian Mian found it quite magical that he even used a hairdryer.
"Of course not. How would I know how to use this? I just bought it. The quality might not be good, but use it for now," Yun Bujun explained.
He had suddenly thought of it and rushed out to buy one. The quality from a small convenience store was likely not very good.
"Ah? You didn't have to buy one specially. It's quite hot now, it'll dry naturally," Mian Mian said.
"How can that be? It's autumn now. If you don't dry it, you'll easily catch a cold," Yun Bujun insisted, pushing her gently into the chair and signaling her to dry her hair.
