Chapter 7 Living in a big city is not easy
The group climbed the stairs to the 21st floor. Qin Hao took a look at the floor sign.
"I'm here, do you want to come sit with me?"
Andy shook his head gently: "No, I have something else to do."
"Next time, I have to take it slow." Fan Shengmei gasped.
Qu Xiaoxiao snorted and went upstairs proudly.
Just when Guan Ju'er was about to refuse, Qiu Yingying grabbed her and said, "Guan Ju'er, let's go to my brother's place together. My heart is still beating non-stop."
"Then, okay." Guan Juer had just experienced life and death, and Guan Ju'er was also a little confused.
Qin Hao took the two of them to 2102.
After Qiu Yingying entered the door, she found that the inside was different from what she thought. The room was really clean, and although the decoration of the room was very ordinary, the furniture and appliances inside didn't look cheap. They seemed to be new and well-protected. The film hasn't been torn off yet.
"Sit down wherever you want. What do you want to drink? Juice, cola, or mineral water?" Qin Hao hung the key on the hook at the door and greeted casually.
"Oh, no need, Brother Qiu. Yingying and I just drank yogurt in the elevator."
Guan Juer put on his slippers and looked at the room curiously.
Qiu Yingying has already started scurrying around like a little bee.
"Brother, are you the only one living here? Isn't it too luxurious?"
Qin Hao shrugged: "Well, I'm not used to sharing apartments with others."
"But, it's very expensive. The rent is eight thousand a month." Qiu Yingying folded her hands in front of her chest and said in a tone like someone who has experienced it.
"Brother, you can't be so squandering. It's not easy to live in a magical city. You should save some money to buy a house. Just like Sister Fan, her minimum criterion for a blind date is to have a house. If you don't have a house, you won't be able to find a wife in the future."
Before Qiu Yingying finished nagging, Qin Hao tapped her on the forehead: "You little girl, you still care about me."
"Ouch, it hurts." Qiu Yingying rubbed her forehead and glared at Qin Hao angrily.
As he spoke, he pulled Guan Ju'er to comment: "Guan Guan, do you think what I said is right?"
As soon as Guan Juer touched Qin Hao's eyes, he immediately moved away and said vaguely: "Actually, as long as two people truly love each other, it doesn't matter whether they have a relationship or not."
Qiu Yingying pouted dissatisfied: "Guan Guan, where are you from?"
After the laughter, Qiu Yingying asked curiously: "Brother, what do you do now? Why haven't we met you in the elevator before at work?"
Qin Hao said lightly: "Oh, I work as a freelancer, and my time is relatively free. I usually don't go out so early."
"It's great. I don't have to get up early. I feel like I don't get enough sleep every day." Qiu Yingying's big round eyes were full of envy.
Qin Hao laughed and scolded: "You checked your phone too late at night and didn't sleep."
"Hey." Qiu Yingying was a little embarrassed, but then she pulled Guan Ju'er.
"Who said that? It's the same with Guan Guan. Sometimes she has to hold transoceanic meetings when she comes back. Sometimes she can't sleep until the early morning."
Guan Ju'er secretly pulled Qiu Yingying and explained shyly: "Actually, it's not bad. The main reason is that I can't sleep well at night."
After chatting for a while, Qiu Yingying found that there was a Switch machine in the living room, so she took Guan Ju'er to play games together.
Qin Hao came to the workshop to edit videos. He had been personally working on the two self-media accounts of "Film and TV Aim" and "Discount Meow" that he used to start his business. These two accounts now have more than 6 million people on the entire network. Fans are the two most profitable accounts of the company.
When Qin Hao finished editing and rendering the latest video, he came out and saw that Qiu Yingying was still playing games with Guan Ju'er.
Qin Hao glanced at his watch: "It's almost dinner time. You can eat at my place this afternoon and I'll cook."
Just when Guan Ju'er was about to refuse, Qiu Yingying already agreed: "That's great, but brother, can you really cook?"
In Qiu Yingying's impression, her brother Qiu Yan rarely did housework at home.
Qin Hao rolled his eyes at Qiu Yingying angrily: "Who are you looking down on? Don't worry I won't poison you."
"Hehe." Qiu Yingying giggled and continued to play games with Guan Ju'er.
Listening to the rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables coming from the kitchen, Guan Ju'er glanced into the kitchen from time to time and found that Qin Hao was doing a decent job.
Just being distracted makes the game messy.
This made Qiu Yingying very depressed: "Guan Guan, what are you doing? Why don't you hit it? What a pity, you almost passed the test."
Just as Guan Ju'er was about to apologize, he heard a smell coming from the kitchen.
Qiu Yingying didn't care about complaining anymore, she took Guan Ju'er to the kitchen and said in surprise when she saw Qin Hao skillfully frying vegetables.
"Brother, are you really good at cooking?"
Qin Hao tossed the wok and replied angrily: "Who said just now that I can't cook it? Don't eat it for a while."
"Huh, just eat." Qiu Yingying wrinkled her nose.
Guan Juer watched the brother and sister bickering with envy, and suddenly felt that the air was filled with not only the aroma of food, but also the taste of home.
"Okay, the last dish, sweet and sour pork ribs, is ready. Four dishes and one soup. Time is tight today, and these are the only ingredients left in the refrigerator. Guan Guan, you can make do with two people." Qin Hao greeted.
Guan Juer waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother Qiu, this is already very good, even better than what my father did."
Qiu Yingying no longer cared about talking, her mouth was full of oil after eating, and she ate several pieces of braised pork before narrowing her eyes with satisfaction.
"Wow, I'm so happy. This is the best meal I've had since I came to Shanghai."
Qin Hao gave Qiu Yingying another piece of ribs in a funny way: "If it's delicious, eat more. If you get greedy, call me in advance. I'll ask you to come down when I'm ready."
"Yeah, brother, you should eat too, it's so delicious."
Seeing Qiu Yingying's cheeks bulging and still stuffing it into her mouth, Guan Ju'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, Qin Hao was also happy, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was particularly harmonious.
After the meal, Qiu Yingying sat down holding her stomach, burped, and then grimaced.
"Oh, I ate too much today and I am definitely going to gain weight again. What should I do?"
Guan Ju'er nodded in agreement, and she couldn't control it all of a sudden, and she was almost full after eating.
Qin Hao smiled and rubbed Qiu Yingying's little head: "Eating one or two meals will not make you fat. If you are really worried, just like Andy from 2201, get up every morning and go for a run."
Guan Ju'er asked curiously: "Brother Qiu, does Andy get up early and run every day?"
"Yeah, more or less. I don't have a fixed workout time, but Andy is always there when I'm running."
When Qiu Yingying heard that she had gotten up early, she immediately wilted: "I, I'd better eat less. Getting up early won't kill me."
"Haha~~~" Guan Ju'er and Qin Hao looked at each other and laughed.
After resting for a while, Guan Ju'er offered to wash the dishes, and Qiu Yingying followed him into the kitchen.
Qin Hao was not polite and told her where the rags and dish soap were and left the kitchen.
While Qiu Yingying was washing the dishes, she secretly said to Guan Ju'er: "My brother hasn't been home in the past few years, and it's like he has changed."
"Really? Has it gotten better or worse?" Guan Ju'er asked casually.
Qiu Yingying frowned and thought for a while: "It should be considered better. My brother used to be very thin, but his muscles are not as strong as now. Well, he seems to be making more money. He can afford such an expensive rent by himself, but he has less contact with his family. Yes, but it’s normal. It was only after I graduated that I realized how difficult it was to work in a big city.”
Guan Ju'er didn't interrupt, and just listened quietly to Qiu Yingying chattering about Qin Hao's previous situation. For some reason, since the first meeting, she kept recalling Qin Hao's gentle love in her mind. Say: Let me help you.
