The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

Fortunately, the deliveryman made a phone call and a van arrived. It took two round trips to transport the mountain of packages to the villa.

At the villa entrance, Xu Xi watched Xu Nian unloading goods into the house again and again, laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight.

"You're still laughing?" Xu Nian put down the cardboard box in her hand, walked over and gently pinched her little cheek.

"Are you crazy to buy so much stuff?"

Although they don't have to spend money to buy things, they still can't resist such extravagance.

Xu Xi turned her head away from his fingertips, gave a soft hum, bent down to pick up a flat package at her feet, unpacked it, and pulled out a gray trench coat. "This is for you, come and try it on to see if it fits."

She tiptoed and draped the trench coat over the man's shoulders.

Xu Nian walked to the full-length mirror in the entryway, spun around twice, and looked at herself carefully in the mirror.

It fits him quite well, and the style is very trendy. After wearing it, he seemed to look much more handsome.

"And another thing, don't take them off yet!" Xu Xi plunged into the pile of packages again, rummaged around for a while, and brought out several neatly folded clothes. She quickly walked to his side and handed them over one by one. "This hoodie looks good too, and this shirt, try them on."

Xu Nian let her do as she pleased, trying on clothes back and forth in front of the mirror. The clothes around him gradually piled up into a small mountain. Red, blue, light gray, beige, trench coats, hoodies, short sleeves, shirts, all kinds of styles were available. Each piece fit him perfectly as if it were tailor-made, just matching his temperament.

He looked down at the pile of unopened packages, his Adam's apple bobbing, and asked softly, "Are these all for me too?"

"Of course not."

Xu Xi counted on her fingers and began to recount the details as if they were her own treasures.

"Of course not. Toilet paper, shower gel, laundry detergent, toothpaste, towels, blankets and pillows, and oh yes, MaiMai's cat food, cat treats and cat litter. We use these things every day at home, how can we not buy them? They can't just fall from the sky, can they?"

"I see..." Xu Nian nodded, her resentment subsiding considerably.

He subconsciously looked around. The tissue box in the living room was always full, and he could easily reach out and pull out a tissue. The toiletries in the bathroom were never empty. The snack cabinet was always full, with all kinds of flavors, no matter when he went to get some.

He seemed to have never paid attention to these trivial matters. All the daily necessities in the house were purchased by Xu Xi in silence, while he only cared about taking them as needed and never cared about where they came from.

Xu Nian felt a pang of guilt as her gaze fell on the girl who was squatting on the ground, diligently unpacking a package.

He moved a small stool over, sat down next to Xu Xi, and, imitating him, slowly unpacked the mountain of packages.

After unpacking a few, Xu Nian had a piece of transparent plastic sheet in his hand, with strange lines printed on it, making it impossible to make out what it was. He frowned and held it up to Xu Xi: "What's this?"

Xu Xi glanced up, her lips turning red as she suppressed a laugh, grabbed his wrist, and dragged him to the bathroom: "You'll see when you get there."

As she spoke, she stuck the plastic sheet to the toilet seat, gently peeled it off, and the excess edges were torn away, revealing the complete pattern.

On the edge of the toilet seat, a tiny line drawing of a person peeks out, next to which is a line of crookedly printed text: "You're here to take a dump, aren't you?"

Xu Nian paused for a second, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"How was it? Did it feel like being surrounded by poop?"

Xu Xi covered her mouth and let out a burst of silvery laughter.

"And there's more, and more." She took out another piece of plastic and stuck it on the bathroom door.

"You're here to sniff around, aren't you?"

"No." Xu Nian laughed so hard she couldn't straighten up. "How could anyone think of selling something like this? It's outrageous."

The two returned to the living room and continued unpacking the packages.

"What is this now?"

Xu Nian now held another hourglass-shaped object. It looked just like an ordinary hourglass, but it was completely empty of sand, and its surface had a small display screen.

Xu Xi took it from his hand and pressed the switch on the side.

The screen lit up instantly, revealing a row of golden particles that looked just like sand.

She gently shook her hand, and the electronic sand grains on the screen moved up and down, just like an hourglass.

"This is an electronic hourglass, which solves the problem that traditional hourglasses cannot be charged," Xu Xi introduced in a serious tone.

"An electronic hourglass?" Xu Nian scratched her head, wondering to herself.

If you want to keep track of time, the timer on your phone is much more convenient and practical than this.

Moreover, this one needs to be charged, which is more troublesome than a traditional hourglass that doesn't require charging. Calling it a useless feature wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"And this too!" Xu Xi pulled out a long pair of earphones from the pile of packages and handed them to him.

Xu Nian glanced at it and frowned: "Isn't this a pair of headphones? We already have several pairs at home, why did you buy another one?"

"These aren't ordinary earphones," Xu Xi said, reaching out to put the earphones on his ears and plugging the other end into her phone.

Xu Nian listened intently, but there was no sound. She looked at him in confusion, "No sound? Is it broken?"

"It needs to be connected to Bluetooth to be used," Xu Xi said, her fingers moving quickly across her phone to turn on Bluetooth and connect the headphones.

The next second, soothing music came through the headphones.

"This is a wired Bluetooth headset, which solves the problem of traditional Bluetooth headsets needing to be charged. It can be used simply by plugging it in, without the need for charging."

It took Xu Nian a full two and a half minutes to realize that something was wrong.

He took off his headphones, looked at Xu Xi, and said helplessly, "If that's the case, why not just buy wired headphones? It's unnecessary."

Xu Xi didn't refute, but just smiled and took out another item: "Look at this, a solar-powered flashlight. It doesn't need batteries or charging. As long as there is light, it can shine."

"There's also this magnetic calculator that can be attached to the back of your phone, so you can use it as soon as you take your phone out."

......

As Xu Nian watched him take out these strange things one by one, she felt that her intelligence had been insulted.

These things, you could say they're useless, but they're also passable; you could say they're useful, but they're really superfluous, not even worth mentioning.

He reached out and waved his hand gently in front of Xu Xi's eyes, interrupting her introduction.

"What's wrong, brother?"

"I said..." Xu Nian paused, "I can understand toilet seat covers, but what's the point of all this stuff?"

Seeing his serious expression, Xu Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Of course it's useless, brother."

She pointed to a pile of small items at her feet.

"These are things I found in the Missing You Mall. They look useful, but they're actually pretty useless. I'll buy them and try them out. If they really don't work, I'll take them off the shelves to prevent other customers from being scammed."

"I see..."

Xu Nian breathed a sigh of relief. He had almost thought that Xu Xi had taken the wrong medicine and that her IQ had dropped, which was why she bought these nonsensical and useless items.

As she disassembled the cage, a rat trap appeared in Xu Nian's hand.

"A mousetrap?"

"Yes, a rat scurried out of the yard a few days ago, so I bought one to keep on hand, just in case."

Xu Nian's lips twitched: "We already have a cat at home, why do we need to buy a mousetrap?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xi stopped what she was doing, rolled her eyes at him, and pointed to the sofa behind her.

Xu Nian looked in the direction she was pointing and saw that Mai Mai had fallen to the ground at some point, lying on her back with her round belly exposed. Her little paws were kicking wildly in the air, struggling to turn over.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't turn things around.

Noticing Xu Nian's gaze, it meowed pitifully a few times, as if trying to beg for Xu Nian's help.

Xu Nian immediately understood what Xu Xi meant and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Expecting this pampered fat cat to catch mice is certainly not as good as expecting a windfall.
