Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Can’t Sleep Without You

With money in hand, Shen Zhaozhao could finally select furniture with peace of mind.

Not only did she purchase all the pieces she had previously set her sights on, but the items she chose later weren’t cheap either. In short, she used up all of the renovation funds that Zhaozhao’s mother had given her in advance, and her own bonus was just enough to cover the expenses.

The house was finally fully renovated, but they still needed to wait a few more months before moving in.

However, the new house was slightly farther from school than the currently rented place, not as convenient.

But after all, it was her own house.

Shen Zhaozhao thought she could wait until her junior or senior year when her course load was lighter before moving in.

Lately, Sheng Chuyi had become busier, embarking on a new project with his senior, working late into the night every day.

To avoid disturbing Shen Zhaozhao’s rest at night, he simply moved next door.

Shen Zhaozhao felt sorry for him, and while bringing him milk, couldn’t help but say, “If it’s this exhausting every day, maybe you shouldn’t take on the next one. You’re only in your sophomore year, the most important thing is to study well. You can take on projects in your senior year.”

“It’s okay,” Sheng Chuyi raised his hand to rub her head, and joked, “You have your own house now, I also need to work hard.”

“Mine is yours, once the renovation is completed, you can move into my house with me,” Shen Zhaozhao said.

Sheng Chuyi gazed at her meaningfully, “I’m talking about our new home. We can’t just live in your house after we’re married.”

Shen Zhaozhao’s face turned red in an instant as she whispered, “That’s not impossible!” Although her house wasn’t big, it was enough for the two of them.

Worst case, they could exchange it for a bigger one in the future.

The smile on Sheng Chuyi’s face deepened, tinged with teasing, “So you’re agreeing to marry me then?”

“Didn’t I agree long ago?” They were already engaged, was he still worried she might back out?

“Hmm, I know. But, you might have to wait a little longer.” Although he wanted to bring her home sooner, their ages didn’t permit it.

He made it sound like she was the one eager to get married.

Shen Zhaozhao’s face reddened even more, and she coughed uncomfortably before saying with feigned arrogance, “I only said I agreed to marry, not that I was in a rush.”

Sheng Chuyi laughed, “Right, you’re not in a rush to get married, it’s me who’s eager to marry you. It’s getting late, you should rest early, oh and, help me close the door.”

“You should rest early too, remember to finish the milk,” Shen Zhaozhao said. Although she felt sorry for him, she knew he definitely wouldn’t go to bed early if he hadn’t finished his work.

“Okay!” Sheng Chuyi agreed, while picking up the milk.

Shen Zhaozhao didn’t leave until she saw him finish the milk, then she left the room reassured.

Lying in bed, she couldn’t fall asleep no matter how much she tossed and turned.

Habit is truly a terrifying thing. She used to think sleeping alone was quite comfortable.

Now, with one person missing by her side, it always felt like something was lacking.

Shen Zhaozhao lay with her eyes open, staring at the ceiling.

Thinking about how Sheng Chuyi was working hard for their future next door, should she also do something for their together times ahead?

But try as she might, she couldn’t come up with anything.

Instead, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier…

When she woke up in the morning and found herself in Sheng Chuyi’s arms, Shen Zhaozhao was taken aback for a moment. Then she blinked and looked at the already awake Sheng Chuyi, “Didn’t you say you were going to sleep next door?”

“Hmm, but without you, I just couldn’t fall asleep…”
