I really like your sand sculpture group friends

After a while, the two returned to the shop, and Yan Nuoya said to Mo Xiangwen, "Xiangwen, how about we order one?"

"Custom-made? That's fine too." Mo Xiangwen originally just wanted to buy two beds casually, but since they were for them to sleep on, he still wanted to respect their preferences.

Bai Shishi immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes! We want tatami mats!"

"Tatami mats?" Mo Xiangwen asked, somewhat puzzled. "You mean those that often appear in anime?"

“Yes!” Bai Shishi nodded excitedly.

Mo Xiangwen asked curiously, "It's okay, but why is it tatami?"

Yan Nuoya calmly analyzed, "Ordinary beds not only take up space, but also have limited functions. If we don't come every holiday, they will be left empty most of the time, which is a waste."

She paused briefly before continuing, "But tatami mats are different; they can serve as both a relaxation area and a sleeping area. Even if you come back alone, you can lie down anywhere or use them to store items, making them much more practical than a bed."

That's true. Although Mo Xiangwen doesn't mind them coming over often, it's impossible for them to go home with him every holiday. What kind of classmates can be that close?

However, he always felt something was strange. Was it really necessary to consider things so thoroughly?

Yan Nuoya continued, "Moreover, tatami mats are more efficient in terms of space utilization. Didn't you say the room is very large? We can plan out an area specifically for tatami mats."

Although he probably wouldn't care too much about space utilization back in his hometown...

Bai Shishi nodded repeatedly: "The main thing is that we can sit together and watch videos and play games, just like we did in the studio!" She gestured excitedly, "We can lean against the cushions together, eat snacks, and watch movies!"

This is indeed quite vivid and very appealing.

Mo Xiangwen nodded thoughtfully.

Upon hearing this, the proprietress asked curiously, "What are tatami mats like?"

Yan Nuoya explained simply: "It's like building a platform with a wooden frame, and then laying boards on it. It's similar to a bed, but it's lower off the ground and covers a larger area."

"A larger area?" The proprietress's eyes lit up immediately, realizing that she might be able to earn more.

She could also see that although the boy in front of her was the one in charge, the opinions of the two girls could greatly influence his decisions.

The proprietress immediately said enthusiastically, "We also offer custom-made services, and we can even give you a discount if you make a lot!"

Mo Xiangwen thought for a moment and then asked another question: "I was also planning to buy a table for you to put your computers on. If we make a tatami room, it won't be convenient to put the computers on it, will it?"

Yan Nuoya had already come up with a plan: "We can leave a passageway in the middle of the entrance, with a tatami area on one side and a computer area on the other. I will sponsor the expenses for this part."

Upon hearing her words, Mo Xiangwen immediately put on a stern face and feigned anger, saying, "What kind of logic is that? It's my house that's being renovated, why should you have to pay for it?"

Yan Nuoya remained silent, pursing her lips and gazing at him quietly with her purple eyes.

Knowing Yan Nuoya well, he naturally understood that this meant she had made up her mind.

Bai Shishi also tugged at Mo Xiangwen's hand and said, "I also need to pay part of it! I've saved up quite a bit of money from drawing for Xiao Yi."

Hearing Bai Shishi say the same thing, he became even more indignant and insisted on opposing it, saying, "It's not like I'm refusing to let you make tatami mats, so why should you pay for them? If you insist on paying, I won't agree."

Seeing this, Yan Nuoya and Bai Shishi exchanged a glance and had no choice but to give up the idea.

Seeing that the two had given up on paying for him, Mo Xiangwen began to discuss the details with the proprietress: "Approximately how long will it take to make?"

The proprietress rubbed her hands together, her face beaming with smiles: "We have all the materials here. If you'd like, we can arrange for workers to come and take your measurements right now. If you're in a hurry, we can even finish the installation today."

The proprietress smiled so much that the wrinkles around her eyebrows smoothed out, and her tone carried a clear hint.

Mo Xiangwen immediately understood.

You need to pay extra, right?

He figured to himself that there was no real rush to get it done today.

There is plenty of time; even if it drags on for a few days, it's perfectly fine.

Anyway, his parents don't live in their hometown, so it's fine for him to sleep in their bedroom tonight. To put it another way, even if he continues to sleep on the floor, it's not a big deal for him.

"Let's forget about it," he said to the proprietress calmly. "However, I'd appreciate it if you could arrange for someone to come and take the measurements as soon as possible. As for the fabrication and installation, there's no need to rush; we can take our time..."

"Let's get it done today." Yan Nuoya interrupted him softly, but her tone left no room for argument: "If there are any additional fees for expedited processing, we can cover them."

Mo Xiangwen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but upon seeing her determined gaze, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Alright, alright, since they're so eager, let's expedite it.

But isn't that just letting them rip you off?

However, he could understand, after all, that was Noah's personality.

Mo Xiangwen sighed softly, turned around and talked to the proprietress about the price. After a long discussion, they finally reached a result that satisfied both parties.

The proprietress seemed quite happy, her smile smoothing out many of her wrinkles: "I'll arrange for workers to follow your truck to take measurements later."

Mo Xiangwen nodded: "Okay, but there's one more thing. I still need a table. Since we've already ordered one, let's order a long table too, so the three of us can use the computer together."

The proprietress readily agreed: "No problem! Just tell the installer to take the measurements. Don't worry about the price, I'll definitely give you a discount!"

Mo Xiangwen smiled and said, "Then it's a deal, you have to give me a discount."

The proprietress nodded repeatedly: "Definitely! I'll call you to confirm the specific price after we take the measurements."

-----------------

Money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible.

This old saying has been fully proven true today.

With Yan Nuoya and Bai Shishi persisting in paying extra, the workers' efficiency in moving timber and installing the equipment improved significantly.

Although the workload was considerable, the workers finally finished installing the tatami mats and long table around 8 p.m. after working overtime.

Mo Xiangwen also asked his master to help him move his old bed from his original room to the small room next door.

Even though tatami mats were installed, he still planned to sleep in the small room.

In Mo Xiangwen's view, no matter how spacious the tatami mat was, it was still a bed, and he simply couldn't convince himself to sleep in the same bed with the two girls.

The newly installed tatami is currently just a bare wooden platform, which looks rather rudimentary.

Fortunately, they bought eggs and noodles at the market on their way back, and also picked up a few straw mats.

Now that it's been laid out, it looks much more presentable.

After such a renovation, the room is completely unrecognizable from its original state.

One side of the tatami mat is against the wall, and the other side is adjacent to the reserved passageway. On the other side of the passageway is a newly made long table, which is large enough to accommodate three computers side by side.

The tatami area occupies nearly half of the room's area.

Let alone three people sleeping in it, it doesn't seem like a problem to squeeze in seven or eight people.

Of course, that would definitely be quite crowded.

On the other side is a long table that runs along the wall, which can easily fit three computers.

Bai Shishi excitedly spread the quilt on the mat, then happily rolled around on it, completely disregarding any ladylike image.

Seeing that she was having fun, Mo Xiangwen didn't bother to remind her. He smiled and went downstairs to prepare dinner.

It was getting late, and Mo Xiangwen had no appetite for preparing a big meal. He was just about to make a simple pot of noodles with eggs, vegetables, and lean pork when he heard footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw that Yan Nuoya had followed him down at some point.

"I'll help," she said softly, without waiting for his permission. She had already washed her hands naturally and was standing by the kitchen counter waiting for him.

Mo Xiangwen was somewhat surprised, but still nodded: "Then please wash the vegetables."

Yan Nuoya quietly began washing the vegetables, but her movements were not very skilled.

However, when she noticed that Mo Xiangwen was beating eggs, she quietly chopped the washed vegetables for him.

When she saw Mo Xiangwen preparing to cook the noodles and vegetables, she handed him the necessary seasonings at the right time.

This is different from how I cooperated with Su Mengli when we were renting the apartment.

Although he and Yan Nuoya didn't communicate much, they worked together very well, as if they had cooked together many times before.

Whenever he wanted something, Yan Nuoya would always bring it to him at the right time.

With their combined efforts, a pot of noodles was quickly cooked.

He was about to call Bai Shishi downstairs to eat noodles when he noticed that she had already peeked her little head in from outside the door, secretly watching them.

"What are you doing there?" Mo Xiangwen asked with some confusion, but still chuckled and said, "Getting ready to eat."

"My mom often tells me that working in the kitchen is dangerous, and I was afraid of scaring you all," Bai Shishi explained with a smile.

“Then the teacher is right.” Mo Xiangwen nodded: “As expected of Shishi, she’s so obedient.”

"Hehehe." Bai Shishi laughed foolishly.

Yan Nuoya silently divided the noodles into three bowls and placed them on the dining table.

Mo Xiangwen invited Bai Shishi to dinner, and the three of them sat down around the square table.

Just as Bai Shishi picked up her chopsticks and reached for the soup, Mo Xiangwen quickly reminded her, "Shishi, don't rush, be careful not to burn yourself."

She made a soft "hmm" sound with her nose, then carefully pursed her lips and blew on the noodles that were wrapped around the tips of her chopsticks to cool them down. She waited patiently for a few seconds before lowering her head to eat them.

"It's so delicious, no wonder Xiao Yi and Sister Nuo Ya made it together." Bai Shishi said indistinctly while still eating noodles.

"I'm glad you like it." Yan Nuoya nodded with a slight smile.

"Since Xiao Yi and Sister Nuo Ya are cooking today, I'll cook tomorrow," Bai Shishi said, taking a bite of noodles and volunteering.

Does Bai Shishi cook? Just thinking about it makes me completely uneasy.

Mo Xiangwen was startled and instinctively wanted to refuse.

But after calming down, he didn't want to refuse too obviously so as not to upset Bai Shishi, so he thought for a moment and said, "How about I do it with you tomorrow?"

Bai Shishi seemed to have anticipated this outcome, and nodded with a smile.

"Okay."

Chapter 190 Little Yi's food is delicious today!

After dinner, the first thing I did was set up the computer I brought from home.

Although it's called assembling a computer, since it was already in my car, there was no need to disassemble it. I just unplugged the monitor and power cord and brought it over. This time, it's just a matter of reconnecting the monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and microphone.

Yan Nuoya's laptop is even simpler; it can be used by simply plugging in the power adapter.

It only took three to five minutes of busy work, and the basic preparations for playing together were completed.

"You can use my computer to play with Mengyao and the others tonight. I'm going to take a shower first," Yan Nuoya said with a light smile. "So that she won't keep talking bad about you on voice chat all day."

"Let her say it," Mo Xiangwen said nonchalantly. "I'll just pretend I don't hear her, and she can't do anything about it."

Yan Nuoya blinked and chuckled, "I don't know if you've checked the group chat today. If this keeps up, you might as well change your group nickname."

"Not yet, I've been busy all day."

As Mo Xiangwen spoke, he picked up his phone from the side and glanced at it.

Goodness, the group chat is full of Su Mengyao tagging him and sending messages like "Where is this lazy pigeon?"

"You should try to explain this to her." Yan Nuoya covered her mouth slightly, a hint of schadenfreude in her faint smile. "I'm going to take a shower now."

After saying that, he bent down to take out the clothes that he had folded and put in the drawer under the tatami mat that morning.

Mo Xiangwen, who was looking at his phone, noticed her movement out of the corner of his eye and quickly turned around, pretending to be looking at his phone very seriously.

Yan Nuoya quietly pursed her lips, ignored him, and walked out with her clothes.

Human and Dragon in One: What am I doing? Why haven't I come out in half a day? I've already become a stinky pigeon.

A seductive gesture: You still know to come out, but you haven't been seen for most of the day.

Use a seductive approach: Has the computer arrived yet?

Human and Dragon in Harmony: Today I took Shishi and Nuoya back to my hometown for a visit. Since there weren't many beds available for them to sleep on, I also went to a furniture store to order tatami mats and computer desks, so I didn't check the group chat much.

Human-Dragon Harmony: The computer should arrive tomorrow or the day after.

A seductive touch: a bed and tatami mats? I don't understand.

Bai Bai: It means a super big bed.

Bai Bai: When Sister Mengyao and Sister Mengli come, we can lie down together.

Use a seductive approach: Let me see, let me see.

Mo Xiangwen glanced at Bai Shishi, who was lying on the bed doing nothing, and raised his phone with a light laugh: "Shishi, come on, make a gesture, I'll take a picture of you to show Mengyao."
