Liu Jian quickly found a two-bedroom apartment near Northeastern University. The apartment was over 70 square meters and on the fourth floor. Liu Jian was very satisfied, and Ren Shanshan had no objections. They quickly signed a one-year rental contract. Liu Jian intended to buy it, but unfortunately, the landlord had returned to his hometown for the Chinese New Year. The agent was handling everything. He called the landlord, who was very interested and agreed to meet and discuss the matter after the Spring Festival.
Having driven with Ren Shanshan to the front of her dormitory, I saw that the school dorms were mostly empty, with only a few students who weren't going home still there. When Ren Shanshan got out of the car, the dormitory's security lady was startled. Ren Shanshan was pretty, and the security lady had a deep impression of her, but unfortunately, her family wasn't well-off, and she was working during the holidays. She didn't expect her to return in a car today.
Liu Jian also got out of the car. The girls' dorms probably wouldn't be very strict during the holidays, so he should be able to go up. Liu Jian planned to go upstairs to help Ren Shanshan pack some things.
Ren Shanshan walked to the security guard and sweetly called out, "Auntie Li, can I bring my friend upstairs?"
Aunt Li is very kind and usually takes good care of Ren Shanshan. She waved Ren Shanshan inside. Ren Shanshan looked back at Liu Jian, and Liu Jian smiled and gestured for her to go.
Inside the guardhouse, Aunt Li took Ren Shanshan's hand and asked, "Shanshan, who is he?"
Ren Shanshan said a little embarrassed, "Aunt Li, he's my boyfriend, he came to see me."
"Boyfriend," Aunt Li asked, startled. "You have a boyfriend? Why didn't you tell Auntie? What does his family do?"
Seeing Aunt Li being so nosy, Ren Shanshan would normally have found the old woman annoying, but today she inexplicably felt a sense of concern, so she said, "Aunt Li, he's in business, he lives quite far away, and I didn't expect him to come see me." After speaking, she looked at Liu Jian in her heart and thought: He is my savior, he is my everything.
Aunt Li asked a few more questions, which Ren Shanshan brushed off. Ren Shanshan, blushing, took Liu Jian's hand and walked upstairs. The hallway was empty. Ren Shanshan lived on the second floor. Because there weren't many people staying at school during the winter break, the school had gathered all those staying together.
Having reached the dormitory door, Ren Shanshan gestured for Liu Jian to wait a moment. She knocked on the door first, and a voice came from inside saying, "Who is it? It's not locked, just come in."
Ren Shanshan went in first. Soon, a scream came from inside, followed by a burst of playful fighting. A scene unsuitable for children flashed before Liu Jian's eyes; he seemed to see a girl inside, walking around in her underwear. After a good while, the door finally opened. Ren Shanshan, suppressing a smile, pulled Liu Jian into the dormitory.
A tall girl was standing in the dormitory, her face flushed. She had a round face and looked at Liu Jian curiously as he came in. When she realized Liu Jian was staring at her, she said shyly, "Hello, my name is Li Jiazi. You're Shanshan's boyfriend, right? She's been so secretive, keeping it from me." As she said this, she glared at Ren Shanshan.
Ren Shanshan felt embarrassed and didn't know how to explain, after all, Li Jiazi was her classmate and knew her well, not as easy to fool as the security guard.
Liu Jian noticed Ren Shanshan's hesitant expression, so he said with a smile, "My name is Liu Jian, Shanshan's boyfriend. Maybe I look too ordinary, and Shanshan feels embarrassed to show me off, so she's been keeping me a secret from you all."
Li Jiazi's eyes widened and she said, "Wow, you're quite the talker. Confess honestly, how did you trick our Shanshan into being with you?"
Liu Jian smiled and said, "How can you say it's a trick? It's pursuing success, and the process is a secret. I'm here today to pick up Shanshan to go home. We're going to Shanshan's house for Chinese New Year this year. If we don't leave, we'll be late."
Li Jiazi was stunned and asked, "No way, are you planning to get married?"
Liu Jian nodded and said, "Yes, we'll get married when Shanshan graduates. Come for the wedding then!"
Even though Ren Shanshan knew Liu Jian was lying, she still couldn't help but think about the wedding, a look of happiness on her face. Li Jiazi playfully hit Ren Shanshan and said, "Okay, stop flaunting your love in front of me. What do you need to pack? I'll help you."
Liu Jian smiled and said to Ren Shanshan, "Shanshan, you guys pack up. I'll go smoke a cigarette at the door. Hehe, girls' dorms have too much stuff."
After he said that, he walked out. Only then did Li Jiazi realize that her underwear was hanging on the clothesline stretched across the dorm. Her face instantly turned red, and she said to Ren Shanshan, "Shanshan, you're so bad! Why didn't you remind me?"
Ren Shanshan smiled and said, "What's the big deal? It's not like I saw you naked. Even if I did, I'd just have my boyfriend share half of you."
Li Jiazi sighed deeply, pressing her forehead with her hand and said, "Crazy. Our usually well-behaved Shanshan is even joking now. Did I mistake you for someone else, or is the power of love really that great?"
Ren Shanshan smiled and said, "Okay, Jiazi, help me pack my things, I'm moving out."
Li Jiazhi was stunned. She originally thought Ren Shanshan was packing to go home, but she didn't expect her to be moving out. She asked, "Shanshan, where are you moving to? You're not going to live with your boyfriend, are you?"
Ren Shanshan blushed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? He said the school is too cold in winter, so he rented a house for me outside. I'm just packing my things to move over."
Li Jiazhi's eyes lit up and she said, "Wow, your boyfriend is really good to you, even renting a house for you. How is it, is it far? I'll come find you when I have time."
Ren Shanshan smiled and said, "Okay, he rented a two-bedroom apartment for me. You're welcome to come over anytime. Okay, I'll stop talking now. He's probably getting impatient."
Li Jiazi snorted and said, "Let him wait a bit. He tricked away the prettiest girl in our school, what's wrong with making him wait a little? It's settled then, I'll come find you later."
Ren Shanshan pushed Li Jiazi and said, "Okay, hurry up and help me pack. I haven't packed that side yet."
Liu Jian smoked four cigarettes before he heard Ren Shanshan calling him. He entered the dorm and saw Ren Shanshan's large pile of luggage, clearly having packed everything. Liu Jian knew many of these things were unnecessary; in fact, what he had bought for Ren Shanshan was enough for her to wear and use. But Liu Jian didn't say anything, picked up the luggage and put the bedding on his shoulder. He knew these things might not be worth much, but they were all a testament to Ren Shanshan's life. Since he had accepted Ren Shanshan, he had to accept everything, including these worthless things, because they were all a part of Ren Shanshan's life.
When they got downstairs, Li Jiazhi was dumbfounded when she saw Liu Jian's brand-new Audi. She never expected this unremarkable man to be driving a car. Recalling what Liu Jian had just said, it was obvious that the two of them were driving back home for the Chinese New Year. Li Jiazhi sighed, thinking that everyone has their own fate. She never expected Ren Shanshan to quietly find such a wealthy husband.
After putting the things in the trunk, Ren Shanshan and Li Jiazhi reluctantly parted ways. They wouldn't see each other again until next semester. Watching the departing car, Li Jiazhi's dim eyes lit up, as if she had come up with an idea.
Like Ren Shanshan, Li Jiazi also came from a poor family and had to stay at school during the holidays to work. Her family situation was slightly better than Ren Shanshan's, at least she didn't have to send money home. She didn't used to think these days were hard, after all, there was someone even worse off than her, but she never expected the ugly duckling to suddenly turn into a swan, so she also made a decision.
Back in the rented house, Liu Jian lay on the sofa watching TV, while Ren Shanshan busied herself setting out those things, and even fetched several basins of water to scrub the house clean, looking very much like a virtuous wife and good mother. Liu Jian didn't stop her. Liu Jian knew Ren Shanshan was immersed in this happiness, so he let her be. When Ren Shanshan wanted to do the laundry, Liu Jian pulled her into his arms.
Ren Shanshan's face flushed immediately, and she stammered, "What are you doing? I still have laundry to do." After saying that, she wanted to run away, but Liu Jian kissed her small, bright red mouth, his tongue swirling inside for a long time before releasing her.
Liu Jian said with ill intent, "Wash what? Washing by hand in the dead of winter, won't your hands get ruined? We'll go out and buy a washing machine later, and you see what else we're missing at home, we'll buy it all together."
Ren Shanshan's eyes lit up. Thinking about adding things to her little home, Ren Shanshan immediately became interested, put aside the housework, and took out a notebook to write down: washing machine, clothes drying rack, bed sheets, duvet cover, quilt, mop, rag, bowls, basins, chopsticks, rice cooker, soybean oil, salt, MSG, spatula, plates, etc., it really had everything. Liu Jian was startled. Buying all of this would probably mean they wouldn't get anything else done this afternoon. But looking at Ren Shanshan's expectant expression, Liu Jian couldn't bring himself to refuse, so he had to pretend to be elated and go shopping with Ren Shanshan.
Liu Jian was somewhat interested in shopping for clothes, but buying all these odds and ends, he really wanted to just buy them as soon as they arrived at the store. But Ren Shanshan picked each item carefully and compared them. Liu Jian said impatiently, "Shanshan, can't we just buy some random ones? You're picking and comparing, aren't they all pretty much the same?"
Ren Shanshan shook her head and, holding Liu Jian's hand, said, "It's different. Xiaojian, this will be our home from now on. I want to choose everything carefully, from a large appliance to a small rag, because this is our home. I want to remember that when I look at these things, I know you were with me, picking them out one by one. Even if you're not by my side one day, when I see these things, I'll think of you, and remember that I have a lover who has always been by my side."
Liu Jian was stunned for a moment, looking at Ren Shanshan with tears swirling in her eyes, his heart felt heavy. He hugged Ren Shanshan and said, "Shanshan, don't worry, I won't leave you. There's no rush, we'll buy everything together, and I'll help you choose."
And so, the two of them spent the entire afternoon shopping. By the time they had put everything away, they were so exhausted they could barely move. Ren Shanshan, enduring her fatigue, went to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of noodles for Liu Jian.
Lying on the sofa, Liu Jian saw Ren Shanshan coming out with a bowl of steaming instant noodles. A long-lost feeling called tears welled up in his heart. He had only felt this way before when he was with his mother. Today, another woman was finally genuinely caring for him.
Liu Jian quickly lowered his head and ate the noodles, afraid that Ren Shanshan would see his tears. After finishing the noodles, Liu Jian took Ren Shanshan's hand and said, "Okay, Shanshan, take a rest. There's no rush, we can clean up together tomorrow."
Ren Shanshan nodded, then broke free from Liu Jian's hands and said softly, "I'll go make the bed." After speaking, she shyly ran into the bedroom.
Liu Jian felt his blood boil and chased after her. The room door slammed shut, followed by a woman's scream, a man's panting, the sound of clothes tearing, and the creaking of the bed.
Inside the room, Ren Shanshan kept begging for mercy, but Liu Jian, experiencing this for the first time, could never let her go. With a few quick movements, he tore open Ren Shanshan's clothes, grasped her firm breasts, and whispered in Ren Shanshan's ear, "Shanshan, did you have fun yesterday?" Then he chuckled with a strange laugh.
Ren Shanshan dodged a few times, panting, and said, "Xiao Jian, Brother Jian, Brother, dear brother, please let me go, I'm still very sore, I'm not lying to you, I'm scared." While begging for mercy, she was trying to figure out how to get Liu Jian to let her go, but unexpectedly, Liu Jian took advantage of her inattentiveness, reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, flipped her over, and pressed her face down onto the bed.
Liu Jian felt the amazing elasticity of Ren Shanshan's upturned buttocks, reached out and pushed her panties aside. The stimulating scene before his eyes made Liu Jian even more excited, and he kicked off his pants in a few moves.
Yesterday's events had frightened Ren Shanshan a bit. Feeling the hot thing coming from behind her, Ren Shanshan's face turned pale, and she pleaded, "Xiao Jian, I'm exhausted and it hurts, can you please let me go?"
The sexy girl's plea made Liu Jian feel the pleasure of conquest even more, and he pressed down fiercely.
Ren Shanshan exclaimed, but after shouting, she realized that it wasn't as painful as she'd imagined. Instead, with Liu Jian's movements, the pleasure she had experienced during yesterday's intense pain quickly returned, even more pronounced and intoxicating than the first time.
Gradually, Ren Shanshan's pleas for mercy turned into intoxicating gasps and moans. The newly bought, snow-white bedsheets were creased with her fingernail marks. Liu Jian was desperately conquering the sexy female college student beneath him. The snow-white bed seemed unable to withstand the pressure, as if it would collapse at any moment. Slowly, the room returned to silence sometime later...
That night, pleas for mercy rang out countless times. The white bedsheets slowly crumpled, and sweat soaked through them. It seemed as if Liu Jian was venting all the desires of two lifetimes onto Ren Shanshan. The two of them slowly fell asleep in their entanglement.
