I really like your sand sculpture group friends

Yes, they came back yesterday, and he was tortured again.

He instinctively tried to move, but felt his right arm was heavy, as if it were being pressed down by something.

He turned his head and the first thing that caught his eye was a head of smooth... white hair?

Did Yan Nuoya accidentally fall asleep at his place in the middle of the night?

But he quickly realized something was wrong. Yan Nuoya's hair was a more lustrous silver-white, while the hair in front of him was a softer color, which should be Shishi's.

He composed himself, trying to clear his head, and looked more closely.

Bai Shishi was lying on her side, clinging tightly to his arm like a kitten, her head resting on his shoulder, her breathing even and long.

He also felt something pressing down on his thigh. Judging from Bai Shishi's sideways posture as she hugged his arm, it must have been one of her legs that had inadvertently landed on his.

Feelings? What feelings? I don't feel anything.

No wonder it feels hot; it's being used as a human-shaped pillow and heater.

What about Noah?

Mo Xiangwen slightly raised his head and looked past Bai Shishi to look at the person next to her.

Yan Nuoya was still asleep, her peaceful sleeping face appearing especially soft in the morning light, her silvery-white hair scattered on the pillow, contrasting with her fair skin.

What time is it?

Mo Xiangwen picked up his phone from the bedside table with his left hand, which was still free to move, and glanced at it. It was only a little past six o'clock.

He looked down at Bai Shishi's sleeping face. Her long eyelashes trembled twice, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she was having a sweet dream. She looked cute and carefree.

Mo Xiangwen couldn't help but smile, his helplessness turning into tenderness.

Well, it shouldn't be a big deal for just a little while, let Shishi sleep well.

Besides, it's a holiday, so what's wrong with taking a break?

They were both really tired yesterday.

Thinking this, he decided to stop moving so as not to wake her, and closed his eyes, intending to take another nap.

When he woke up again, sunlight was streaming into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Bai Shishi and Yan Nuoya were nowhere to be seen, and he was the only one lying on the floor.

He got up, rubbed his eyes, pushed open the door, and went out to wash up.

As he passed through the living room, he saw a scene that surprised him.

Shishi was holding a broom and sweeping the floor in a very serious manner, although her movements were a little clumsy.

Yan Nuoya followed behind her, carefully mopping the already swept floor.

"Good morning." Mo Xiangwen greeted him with some surprise, "Why are you up so early? And you're even cleaning?"

Bai Shishi looked up at the sound, a bright smile spreading across her face: "Good morning, Xiao Yi! Did you sleep well? We had nothing to do after waking up, and since it seemed like Auntie had gone out, we thought we'd help with the cleaning!"

Yan Nuoya stopped what she was doing and nodded slightly: "Good morning. Find something to do now that you're awake."

Mo Xiangwen quickly realized that it was because they hadn't helped with the dishes the night before, and she felt uneasy, so she got up early in the morning to clean.

Since that's the case, if it makes them feel better, then let them be.

After washing up, the three of them ate a simple breakfast prepared by Zhou Xiuqin.

After dinner, Mo Chenfeng said to Mo Xiangwen, "Xiangwen, I have some work to take care of today, and we only have one car at home. Why don't you drive Nuoya and Shishi back to your hometown first? I've already arranged for the air conditioner installer to arrive around ten o'clock."

Mo Xiangwen nodded in agreement: "Okay, Dad, then we'll pack our clothes and leave."

Along the way, the rural scenery of the south flashed past the car window.

The road is flanked by rolling rice paddies, which have already been harvested this season, leaving behind neat stubble.

A few houses are scattered in the distance, their white walls and gray tiles appearing peaceful and serene under the shade of green trees.

Occasionally, you can see a few farmers working in the fields, or people riding motorcycles passing by.

Bai Shishi leaned against the car window, looking curiously at the scenery outside. Suddenly, she asked with some concern, "Xiao Yi, who lives in your hometown? How should we greet them?"

Seeing her worried expression in the rearview mirror, Mo Xiangwen couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, there's no one in our hometown. It'll just be the few of us staying there, so you can cause as much trouble as you want."

Bai Shishi finally relaxed and smiled again: "Mhm."

About an hour later, they arrived at their destination.

Mo Xiangwen parked his car in a small open space in front of a three-story self-built house.

The house looks like a small villa, with light-colored tiles on the exterior walls. It doesn't look as luxurious as a villa, but it does look neat and tidy.

The house has a small yard, which used to be a vegetable garden, but now it looks abandoned and overgrown with weeds.

After the three of them got out of the car, Bai Shishi and Yan Nuoya kept looking around curiously.

"We're here, this is my hometown." Mo Xiangwen said, taking out his key to open the gate. As soon as he opened the gate, a cloud of murky air carrying dust rushed in.

He subconsciously waved his hand, sweeping away the dust.

The three entered the house, and Mo Xiangwen led them directly upstairs to the second floor.

Although areas like the kitchen on the first floor are also important, they can be placed at the back.

“Actually, the second floor is basically my territory,” he explained to the two of them. “Although I only have one room, since my parents’ rooms are on the first floor, there is a small room reserved on the second floor in addition to my room.”

"You guys stay in my room tonight, I'll stay in that small room."

But the two of them didn't answer him; instead, they looked around on their own.

He shook his head and pushed open the door to the master bedroom.

Yan Nuoya discovered that the furnishings here were even simpler than those in his room in the city.

There was only a bare bed board, without even a mattress, let alone a desk or wardrobe.

Yan Nuoya and Bai Shishi both showed surprised expressions.

“I don’t live in my hometown much anymore,” Mo Xiangwen explained when he saw their surprised looks. “I only come back to stay for a few days during the Spring Festival, so there’s basically no furniture, but I still have the essentials like a refrigerator, washing machine, and water heater.”

After a quick cleaning of the room, having just wiped the dust off the bed and swept the floor, Mo Xiangwen's phone rang at just the right moment.

He glanced at the caller ID; it was the phone number of the installation technician he had booked.

"Master has arrived. I'll go down and open the door." He said to the two people who were making the bed, "If you're bored, you can go to the third-floor terrace and enjoy the view. It's quite nice."

Yan Nuoya nodded gently, while Bai Shishi blinked curiously: "Terrace? Great, great!"

After saying that, the two of them immediately went up to the third floor together.

Mo Xiangwen went downstairs and opened the door, and was somewhat surprised to find several craftsmen standing outside.

Three men carrying heavy toolboxes and pulling a large cardboard box on their tricycle were clearly air conditioner installers.

Another technician was standing to the side, holding a toolbox and carrying a bag; he was probably a broadband installation technician.

The two groups of people arrived almost at the same time and were chatting idly at the entrance.

"Mr. Mo, right? We're here to install an air conditioner."

"I'm here to connect your broadband."

Mo Xiangwen quickly invited the installers into the house: "Thank you all for your hard work. The air conditioner is installed in the master bedroom on the second floor, and the network cable interface is also in the same room."

He led the group upstairs to the second floor, into a room, and seeing that they had already started working, asked, "Do you need any help?"

"No need, no need, this is professional work, we can do it ourselves." The air conditioning technician laughed heartily, already sizing up the best spot to install the outdoor unit. "Handsome, are you drilling the hole here?"

"Go ahead and install it wherever you think is suitable." Mo Xiangwen grabbed a few bottles of drinks and placed them aside, casually adding, "Just don't forget to patch up the loopholes for me later."

"Okay, don't worry about that," the master readily agreed.

The installation process was faster than he had expected.

The air conditioning technician skillfully measured, drilled holes, and installed the brackets.

The broadband technicians then efficiently laid the cables and adjusted the signals.

Based on this, it should take about an hour to complete.

Mo Xiangwen watched the two masters pretending for a long time and got a little bored, so he went up to see how Yan Nuoya and Bai Shishi were doing.

Since there's only one bed in the room, I'm not worried about losing anything.

He went up to the third floor and saw Yan Nuoya and Bai Shishi gazing into the distance from the railing.

They seemed completely absorbed in the tranquil countryside and didn't even notice his arrival.

Mo Xiangwen didn't disturb them, smiled and quietly retreated to continue overseeing the installation progress.

About an hour later, both workers were nearing the end of their work.

After carefully inspecting the items, Mo Xiangwen thanked them repeatedly and saw the workers out.

After finishing all this, he went up to the third-floor terrace again. This time he made his footsteps louder, and both girls turned around at the same time.

"Is everything done?" Bai Shishi blinked and asked him.

"Yes, the air conditioning and internet are installed, so at least it won't be too hot, and we have internet access." Mo Xiangwen nodded. "However, in order not to sleep on the floor, we still need to go to the furniture store to buy furniture."

"Sleeping on the floor is fine too," Bai Shishi muttered softly.

Speaking of this, Mo Xiangwen suddenly remembered that Bai Shishi was sleeping next to him this morning, and he was both amused and exasperated.

"I told you yesterday." Mo Xiangwen looked at her scarlet eyes and sighed, "You're not in good health, why did you come over in the middle of the night to sleep on the floor with us? You'll easily catch a cold."

Bai Shishi looked away somewhat guiltily, then straightened her chest as if to encourage herself.

"Shishi doesn't know." She straightened her little face, even though it was already very red, and said with a sense of injustice, "Maybe, probably, maybe she's sleepwalking."

Chapter 189: I need to pay more.

The so-called "furniture city" is actually more accurately described as a furniture factory located on the outskirts of the town.

After all, opening a large furniture mall in this rural area is not realistic; the front shop and back factory model is more common.

A shop was set up in front of the factory to directly display and sell their products, which also increased their income considerably.

Because the orders are made directly by the manufacturer, eliminating the middleman, the prices are naturally much more affordable than those in furniture stores in the city.

Although it's a furniture factory, there's still a sales assistant in the store.

She was a very capable and enthusiastic-looking auntie, who he guessed was also the owner of the place.

As soon as the three entered, she greeted them with a smile: "What kind of furniture would you like to see?"

Without hesitation, Mo Xiangwen replied, "We want to buy two beds and a table."

The proprietress warmly led them on a tour of the display area.

The showroom displays a wide variety of beds and tables, from simple panel beds to carved solid wood beds, from simple desks to office desks with drawers; the selection is quite comprehensive.

However, as they watched, all three seemed rather uninterested.

These finished products are either outdated in style or the materials are not very satisfactory.

Seeing that they didn't seem very satisfied, the auntie was afraid of losing business, so she quickly said, "If you don't like any of these finished products, our factory can take custom orders! We are the source manufacturer, we produce and sell our own products, so it's convenient to customize, and the price is definitely cheaper than outside."

"Customization?" Mo Xiangwen stroked his chin, pondering this option.

Just then, Yan Nuoya gently tugged at Mo Xiangwen's hand.

Mo Xiangwen turned to look at her, and saw her say softly, "I'll go back to the car to get a bottle of water."

After saying that, she gently tugged at Bai Shishi's hand again.

Bai Shishi looked at Yan Nuoya with a puzzled expression, only to see Yan Nuoya wink at her, giving her a meaningful look. Although Bai Shishi didn't quite understand at first, she still subconsciously said, "Then I'll go with Sister Nuoya!"

Mo Xiangwen didn't think much of it, took out his car keys from his pocket and handed them to them: "Go ahead, be careful."

After the two girls left the store, Mo Xiangwen continued to ask the shop owner, "Do you have any other styles of beds? Or do you have any simpler designs?"

Outside the store, Bai Shishi asked curiously, "Sister Nuoya, what's wrong? Is there something you want to say?"

Yan Nuoya nodded and explained softly, "Shishi, would you like to be able to sleep in the same room with Xiao Yi like last night?"

Bai Shishi's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded quickly: "Yes!"

“Then we can’t buy a regular bed.” Yan Nuoya’s eyes held a meaningful glint as she smiled, “What if we order something called a tatami mat…”

"Like the kind in anime?" Bai Shishi suddenly realized, a bright smile spreading across her face: "Sister Nuoya, you're so smart!"
