The faint fragrance of orchids filled the air. It came from the magnolia flower next to the bookshelf in the simple study room.
It was indeed rare to see flowers in this season. Zhou Zimo had asked someone to bring it back from abroad.
Although it was a simple study room, the s.p.a.ce was not very small. It was also convenient for Qin Su to read and write on a daily basis.
“Thank you, I’m very satisfied.”
Qin Su roughly browsed through the room before replying.
“Your luggage has already been placed in the wardrobe. I’ve also asked them to prepare some clothes for you, as well as some daily necessities. If you have any other needs, feel free to let me know.”
Zhou Zimo said generously and placed her bag on a chair at the side.
“I think it’s pretty much all there. You’ve put in a lot of effort to make it look like this. Are you free tonight? I’ll treat you to dinner.”
Qin Su took off her mid-length windbreaker and threw it on a chair at the side. She said as she walked towards the small balcony in front of her.
“Officer Qin Su is treating. I’ll definitely be free.”
Zhou Zimo chuckled and replied.
Qin Su nodded. “Then let’s meet at seven in the evening at the Jiangnan restaurant that’s located at the south entrance of New Era Plaza. What time do you get off work? Can you make it?”
“Of course. It gets dark very early in this season. I get off work at six, so I can make it.”
Zhou Zimo replied and walked over as well, intending to pour her a cup of hot water.
“That’s good.”
Qin Su pushed open the half-opened door and a cool breeze blew in. Naturally, there was a hint of moisture in the wind. Of course, it was also so cold that it was bone-piercing.
Zhou Zimo quickly poured a cup of hot water and walked over—
“Warm your hands. It’s like snow, there’s no warmth at all.”
Zhou Zimo handed the water over.
Qin Su received it very quickly.
“What do you want to eat? I’m a little hungry. There are still some dishes in the fridge. I’ll personally cook for you today to show off and welcome you to your new home.”
Zhou Zimo asked.
“Just make something simple. Not many people come over here, right?”
Qin Su raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Zimo.
“Don’t worry. Before Su Chen and the others got married, they often came over to my place. Just now, the bar next to the living room downstairs was where they often gathered. Now that they have their own homes, they have a lot of things to do and rarely come over. As for other people, they basically won’t come over. The place I live in is relatively private.”
Zhou Zimo explained.
“That’s good. In the future, if anyone comes over, you can tell me in advance. I will stay out of the way…”
“Officer Qin Su! I find that there’s something wrong with your words. What do you mean by telling you in advance and you will stay out of the way? You are now Zhou Zimo’s real girlfriend. Shouldn’t you try to enter my circle of life?”
“You know, I have always hated dealing with those messy people.”
Qin Su frowned and gave him a sideways glance. He did not think that there was anything wrong with her saying that.
“Since when did I ask you to interact with those messy people? Don’t worry, the people who can come to my place are definitely people that I am certain of, like good friends like Ah Chen, I naturally can’t be bothered with other people.”
“That’s good, I didn’t mean anything else.”
Qin Su calmly lowered her eyes and lowered her head to drink a mouthful of water. “If you have any objections, remember to mention it to me in advance. I’m new here, so I might not know your rules.”
“You can stay here feeling rest a.s.sured. You don’t have to abide by any of the rules here. Alright, I’ll go down and get some food. You rest for a while. When the food is ready, I’ll call you again.”
“Alright, thank you.”
Qin Su replied before Zhou Zimo left the room.
Qin Su also gave her father Qin Yi a call. After that, she took advantage of the time to take a shower. After changing into her clean and neat uniform, she looked much more energetic.
In fact, she had always been a person with a strong ability to adapt. Although it was a little inappropriate for her to be with Zhou Zimo, since it was already like this, she did not want to think too much about it. Since she had come, she would just settle down.
The environment here was pretty good, and Zhou Zimo did not charge her rent. She was a soldier, and she had a keen sense of judgment. Now that it was obvious that she had the advantage, she did not mind accepting it.
As for the deeper meaning behind it, she was too lazy to investigate it. In any case, both of them left early for work and returned late every day, and there would not be many opportunities for them to meet. It was not like she, Qin Su, had not experienced it before.
It only took half an hour for the cleaning up. When Qin Su went downstairs, she saw Zhou Zimo coming out of the kitchen with a few side dishes.
“Come over and eat.”
It was a few simple dishes. Judging from the dishes, it was not bad. There was also fried rice with egg.
“After dinner, I’ll give you the keys to the house. You can wander around the house. The garden behind is quite big. It’s late autumn now, and there are a few chrysanthemums planted in the corner. They’re blooming well. If you’re in the mood, you can go and take a look.”
“Okay.”
Qin Su took the rice bowl and ate it slowly.
“How is it?”
Qin Su had just taken her first bite when Zhou Zimo looked at her expectantly and asked.
“It’s not good.”
Qin Su gave a simple evaluation.
“It’s that bad? Although I admit that my cooking skills are not as good as Ah Chen’s, I admit that I’m not bad either.”
Zhou Zimo was naturally a little taken aback.
“Some things require talent. Do you have that kind of talent? However, to be able to do it to this extent, it’s not bad. It’s still better than those who don’t know how to cook at all.”
Sensing the dullness in his tone, Qin Su thought for a moment and said this. She did not know if it was considered comforting.
“This is the first time I’ve brought a woman home, and it’s also the first time I’ve cooked for a woman. No matter what, you, Officer Qin Su, should at least give me a few words of praise to satisfy my vanity and pride.”
Zhou Zimo poured a gla.s.s of fruit juice for Qin Su as he said this.
Qin Su unceremoniously picked up the second dish and said, “Zhou Zimo, if you were less pretentious, your charm index will definitely increase by a large margin. Among you and your friends, I’m afraid you’re the most unusual one.”
After saying this, Qin Su continued to lower her head and eat her meal.
Zhou Zimo was stunned for a moment when he heard that. After a long while, he narrowed his eyes at her. “How can that be? My charm index is already very high. However, how many charm points do I need to reach to attract you? I’m more interested in this question.”
Qin Su paused for a moment when she heard that. She raised her eyes and looked at him silently. After a moment, she smiled indifferently. “You think that you’re a very patient person, aren’t you? Just hold on for a while more and you might find out.”
Zhou Zimo was stunned—
As expected, this woman was really heartless. She would not even give him a perfunctory reply!
