Chapter 492: Chapter 395 Bathtub_2

"Mm-hmm," Chen Jieyu nodded.

With these items, the house was now ready for them to move in before the New Year.

Everything else was just for improving the quality of life.

After they returned to the car, Chen Jieyu spoke with a bit of shyness, "Um... Cheng Zhu, I have something for you."

"Hmm? What is it?" Cheng Zhu, who was fastening his seatbelt, turned and asked.

She took a small gift box out of her bag.

"Wow! You’ve prepared a New Year’s gift for me?" Cheng Zhu smiled.

Chen Jieyu glanced at him and nodded slightly.

The serious quality on her face was even more pronounced at this moment, which showed how serious she was, and her seriousness carried a slight nervousness.

She wasn’t sure if Cheng Zhu would like what she had bought.

Last night, she hurried to the mall and shopped for a long, long time.

She had gone from store to store, seriously choosing the first gift for Cheng Zhu.

She had searched online before: what do male university students like?

The top comment was: female university students.

Among a heap of comments, there were also female teachers, counselors, brother’s sisters, friend’s younger sisters...

Of course, there were some serious replies too.

Chen Jieyu made some summaries and realized that gifts for men needed to be practical and focus on usefulness.

And it seemed that men were quite easy to please...

That really seemed to be the case.

Some men might give a woman a gift worth 100 yuan, and she may not look twice at it.

Share this with her girlfriends, and they might form a ’dump him’ squad—keep such a man for New Year’s?

A woman buys some men a pack of cigarettes worth 100 yuan, and when he’s sharing them with his friends, he can stand tall and brag for half an hour.

His friends would give envious, jealous, and resentful looks, thinking, "What damn good fortune, to have such a great girl, does he really deserve her?"

Does he deserve a damn thing!

In the car, under Chen Jieyu’s expectant and nervous gaze, Cheng Zhu opened the gift box.

Inside the box was a black wallet.

In a few years, with the convenience of mobile payments, fewer and fewer people would use wallets.

You wouldn’t even need to carry your ID card when going out; the ID in Alipay would suffice for verification.

But in these few years, wallets still had their uses.

For some high-value purchases, you still needed to swipe a card.

"It looks pretty good," Cheng Zhu said after examining it for a while.

"Is it a New Year’s limited edition?" He glanced at the pattern on the wallet and guessed.

It must not be cheap.

As the spending power of the Chinese market strengthened, many international top brands released special editions during the New Year, such as zodiac or New Year’s limited editions.

Moreover, the leather of this wallet was not the so-called "ordinary leather."

In the world of bags and wallets, ordinary leather was at the bottom.

Chen Jieyu nodded.

He didn’t say anything like he really liked it but took out his old wallet from the car and transferred everything inside to the new wallet.

"I’ve been wanting to change it for a while; it can retire with honors now," he said.

Seeing him react this way, Chen Jieyu couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.

Only slightly regrettable for her was that she had planned to use her year-end bonus to buy Cheng Zhu a gift, thinking it might have been better to give it to him before yesterday.

After all, she received a gift so valuable yesterday that she felt very overwhelmed, making today’s wallet seem like an inconsequential gift in return.

But it was all she had.

It was the best gift she could afford to give.

...

...

Green City Rose Garden.

Since most of the furniture Cheng Zhu bought was in stock, much of it was delivered today.

The house, which had seemed a bit empty, now felt much more like a home.

You see, furniture could be a deep subject with significant costs.

But there’s a clear difference between low-grade and high-grade furniture.

Through the whole process, Cheng Zhu pitched in as well, ending up sweating all over.

By the time everything was settled, it was late at night.

Chen Jieyu surveyed the house, feeling very fulfilled.

The staff dormitory of Technology University was actually better than many other university accommodations, yet it couldn’t compare to this.

It was as Cheng Zhu had said, she began to feel a greater sense of security about the future and could face life with more confidence.

Cheng Zhu, on the other hand, was making a fuss, "No way, no way, I need a shower; I’ve sweated too much, and it’s all sticky on me."

"Forget it, just take a bath instead, you’re exhausted today," he said.

Chen Jieyu could feel his tiredness and immediately offered, "Then wait for me; I’ll clean the bathtub first and then run the bath for you."

"Okay," Cheng Zhu nodded.

The bathtub had not been used yet, but it still needed a proper cleaning.

So, Chen Jieyu squatted down and began to meticulously scrub the tub.

Cheng Zhu leaned against the bathroom doorframe, watching this scene.

From his angle, he could see her graceful side profile, and, as she squatted, the curves of her buttocks became even more pronounced.

Strangely enough, the task of cleaning a bathtub had a surprisingly powerful visual impact.

She had to lean forward to reach the deeper parts, stretching out her torso slightly forward, creating a gentle curve, making the whole scene even more delightful.

"Go lie on the couch for a while," said Chen Jieyu.

She wasn’t aware that Cheng Zhu was admiring her from this perspective; he was quite enjoying it.

"No problem, I can stand for a while," he replied.

She had worn slim-fitting jeans today, which definitely showcased that unbelievable waist-to-hip ratio.

Skin-tight jeans indeed looked best from the back!

As she leaned forward, they emphasized her firm and rounded figure even more.

After cleaning, Chen Jieyu started to run hot water for Cheng Zhu.

"Is a bit hotter okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, my skin’s thick," he joked.

Once the water temperature was set, she no longer squatted but got to her feet.

The real estate agent, at Cheng Zhu’s request, had already sent cleaning staff for a thorough cleaning.

But with so much furniture coming in today, the place got a bit dirty.

Chen Jieyu felt uncomfortable just looking at it, so she started cleaning on her own.

"You don’t have to help me; the water should be about ready; you go and take your bath," Chen Jieyu said, looking up at Cheng Zhu.

But Cheng Zhu didn’t budge, he looked around the whole place, then said to her, "Do you know what I liked the most about this fully-furnished place when He Jiale showed us around?"

"What is it?" Chen Jieyu was a bit curious too.

Cheng Zhu took a few steps forward and whispered, "It’s the big bathtub in the master bedroom."

Chen Jieyu was no fool; with their deep understanding of each other, she knew exactly what he meant and sure enough, she soon found her mouth occupied.

But so what?

She couldn’t deny this man’s desire to leave his mark on their home.

Inside the bathroom, it was meant for one person to bathe, so the hot water was a bit too full.

The addition of another person brought the water to the brink; just three or four more centimeters would make it overflow.

The steam quickly fogged up Chen Jieyu’s wire-rimmed glasses, leaving her almost blind.

In the fog, it was like her eyes were covered, responding to all the other’s demands.

Thus, for some special reasons, the hot water in the tub continually caused waves.

The waves spilled over the edge, causing the water to fall onto the tiles in large splashes, making a distinct slapping sound.

"Splash! Splash! Splash!"
