No wonder, with such a strong-willed mother backing him, having not endured hardships and adversities, the child would naturally be cheerful.
On the other side, Wang Tianxue entered the kitchen and glanced back at He JianShe outside.
Seeing he was indeed waiting there, she hurriedly looked for a kettle.
Though she’d tidied up mostly, she hadn’t turned on the stove.
Luckily, the water, electricity, and gas were all connected.
She found a kettle, scrubbed it twice, and filled it with cold water to boil.
As the water boiled, she glanced outside again.
It wasn’t that she was too narrow-minded to entertain him, it was just that the house was yet untidy, and usually, in such cases, you’d politely say a few words, and the other party would wisely leave, right?
Wang Tianxue pondered, having heard that Brother He had always been in the army, probably among a group of straightforward men, unlike outsiders with such complex thinking.
She shook her head, feeling she was indeed being petty.
After all, Brother He is Chuxia’s senior, and he helped her for Chuxia’s sake, how could she treat him as an outsider?
After a while, the water was boiled, and Wang Tianxue poured a cup.
"Brother He, sorry, there’s no tea at home, please make do with some plain water."
He JianShe smiled as he took it, "It’s okay, I was quite thirsty anyway."
The water was freshly boiled and quite hot.
He JianShe blew on it, took a small sip, and held onto the cup, seeming to wait for it to cool down a bit.
The atmosphere suddenly turned a bit awkward, Wang Tianxue fiddled with her hair, looked around, and sought a topic. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Uh... I’m really sorry, taking up so much of your time, just helping me out, you didn’t get a chance to do your own things, did you?"
He JianShe thought for a moment and nodded, "Indeed."
Wang Tianxue was a bit taken aback again.
Is this big guy really this straightforward?
Usually, people would deny it politely, right? This guy straightforwardly admitted she took up his time, so what should she do?
Yet before Wang Tianxue could figure out how to respond, He JianShe said, "I don’t have much to buy anyway, just the assigned apartment is lacking some kitchen essentials. I want to get something to set up a functioning kitchen. I noticed there are quite a few things to pay attention to when you shop for stuff, but I didn’t quite understand, so I dared not buy rashly."
Finally having a topic, Wang Tianxue said, "These things are quite manageable; it just depends on your living habits."
"I’ve lived in the army for a long time, so I don’t have much of a living habit. How about this, could I trouble you to consult me sometime? If it’s too much trouble, matching with what you buy would do. To tell you the truth, I’ve wandered around that market for half a day today, and as a big fellow, I really don’t know where to start."
Wang Tianxue looked at the furniture not yet sorted, contemplating whether to refuse, as He JianShe then said, "Consider it me helping you once, and then you help me once. We don’t have to keep thanking each other."
With things said this way, it wouldn’t be nice for Wang Tianxue to refuse.
"Alright then," she said.
He JianShe instantly smiled, "Great, I have time today, let’s go in the afternoon. In the meantime, I’ll help tidy up here. Some items are quite heavy, and as a woman, it might be hard for you to manage. If you truly feel bad, just treat me to a meal at noon, nothing fancy, anything will do, I’m not picky, just something to fill the stomach."
Wang Tianxue: "..."
Noted, you are indeed not picky.
