Chapter 7: Moving

Today is Saturday, and Jingzhi has a lazy sleep. After breakfast, she dialed Qi'er's phone.

"Hello? Feed? The voice on the other end of the line sounded a little impatient.

"Hi, Qi'er! I'm Chen Jingzhi! Your new roommate! I'm calling you right now and would like to ask what time you are moving your stuff over today? Is there anything else I can help with? Jingzhi was still unhurried, and calmly whispered on the other end of the phone.

When Qi'er heard Jingzhi's gentle voice, she quickly stopped what she was doing, glanced at the watch she was wearing, and said excitedly: "Ah! It's Sister Jingzhi! I woke up early today, and there are so many things! Luckily, the bedroom was packed up yesterday! However, there are quite a lot of things in the kitchen! I'm in the kitchen right now, and I guess I'll be able to clean it up by noon. I'll contact you then! ”

"Oh, okay, then I'll be relieved. Since you don't need my help, I'll wait for you at home. I'll prepare tea for you. How about Tieguanyin? I brought it from China! ”

"Hahaha! What a blessing I am! You can drink Tieguanyin brought from China! Then you can wait for me at home, Sister Jingzhi! ”

"Uh-huh! Move here, there will be many surprises in the future! Jingzhi's voice was full of joy.

"Really? Then I'll see! Qi'er's excited voice came from her phone.

"Hmm...... Well...... I won't bother you, you can keep busy! ”

"Okay! Bye!”

“Bye!”

When it was almost noon, Jingzhi sat alone on the sofa in the living room reading a book. Suddenly, the doorbell ringing downstairs in the apartment, Jingzhi guessed that it must be Qi'er, and hurriedly rushed downstairs, seeing Qi'er hurriedly carrying a lot of her luggage from the back of the taxi to the downstairs of the apartment, and she was already out of breath.

"Quick, come and get it for me...... Get something ......," Qi'er said breathlessly.

The taxi stopped in the driveway towards the main door of the apartment. Because it is a one-way street, stopping will affect traffic, so most of the old British driver, whose hair has turned gray, wants to leave as soon as possible.

Before Jingzhi went downstairs, Qi'er had already moved her quilt and a suitcase out of the car, but there was too much luggage, and it was very difficult for her to carry it alone.

"You...... You've got a lot of luggage! Jingzhi ran to the side of the road in her slippers, put a wooden cutting board and a kitchen knife into an iron pot for stir-frying, and carried the iron pot down from the taxi with both hands.

"Hmmm! Many, many, many! I don't know if I don't move, but when I move, I'm scared! ”

Jingzhi placed the pot on the side of the sidewalk not far from the door of the apartment, and turned back to get the other things. She saw that Qi'er had brought all kinds of seasonings, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Jingzhi was afraid of breaking the glass bottle containing the condiments, so she had to hold a bottle in one hand and go back and forth several times before all the bottles and cans were safely transferred.

Although Qi'er had only studied language classes in the UK for two months, she had bought a box full of books. She's really diligent and studious, Jingzhi thought to herself. She hugged it with both hands and found that the box was too heavy for her to hold alone.

"Let's move together! This box is heavy! You can't hold it alone! Qi'er flashed out of nowhere, standing in front of Jingzhi's eyes, holding one corner of the box tightly with both hands.

When the two of them bent down together to unload the box containing the books from the trunk of the taxi, Jingzhi straightened up and said to Qi'er, "Ho, this box of books is really heavy!" With so much luggage, it seems that the heaviest thing is still books! ”

"Haha!" Qi'er laughed out loud, "This book is not only heavy, but also expensive!" ”

"So, books are the most 'valuable'!"

"Uh-huh!" After speaking, Qi'er pouted her round little mouth, and Jingzhi realized that the lipstick she wore today was orange, which made her snow-white little round face even more watery.

Immediately afterwards, the two girls moved two more times one after the other before they safely transferred all of Qi'er's luggage from the trunk of the taxi to the sidewalk next to the taxi. The old British driver took the cash Qi'er gave him, immediately started the engine, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the taxi had already left, Jingzhi said to Qi'er: "The driver has left, let's not be in a hurry like just now, we can slowly move things upstairs little by little." ”

Jingzhi gently patted Qi'er's shoulder, trying to cheer her up. Qi'er looked tired. She is not very tall, she started to pack her things early in the morning, she didn't stop for hours, she didn't even drink saliva, and she hurriedly moved so much luggage just now, and now she is listless!

"Well, well." Qi'er sighed helplessly, "Alas...... Who let me have so many things, it's really self-inflicted! ”

"It's okay! It's time for lunch, so let's move our things upstairs and have lunch together! I'm in for a treat! Jingzhi said very surely, looking imperative.

"Alright! All right! Do as you say! Qi'er nodded, happily agreeing to Jingzhi's proposal.

Although they only had to climb one staircase, the two of them still worked hard for a while to safely transfer all of Qi'er's belongings into the apartment, putting the things that should be in the kitchen in the kitchen, putting the things that should be in the bathroom in the bathroom, and putting the rest of Qi'er's own things in her small bedroom.

After finishing the work, Qi'er was so tired that she collapsed on the sofa in the living room, not moving, like a doll made of wood and cotton.

"Hurry up! Get up! Let's go to dinner together! Jingzhi walked over, holding a mug with a pale green liquid in it.

"It's ...... For me? Qi'er sat up and squinted at the cup in Jingzhi's hand.

"Hmmm! Of course! Tieguanyin for you! After speaking, Jingzhi handed the cup to Qi'er.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Then you're welcome! Qi'er took the cup, took a sip of tea, and found that it was not very hot, so she drank it in a big gulp. When she was almost drunk, she put the cup in her hand, leaned against the back of the sofa, and said indignantly, "I have been busy all morning! One morning! It's so tiring again! Thirsty again! Again...... Hungry again! Lying here, I was debating whether to go to the kitchen and get some water. Oops! I don't have any strength at all! I don't even have the strength to blink! ”

"Oh? Don't have any strength at all? Jingzhi stood next to the sofa, glanced at Qi'er suspiciously, and said to her, "Then you drank tea and replenished water, how are you recovering physically?" ”

"Me?" Qi'er raised her head and glanced at Jingzhi, and said weakly, "It's better now, at least I'm not thirsty......"

A smile appeared at the corner of Jingzhi's mouth. She took a half step forward, leaned into Qi'er's ear, and said to her gently, "I hope you can recover a little bit quickly, not too much, as long as you can support yourself to walk to the restaurant near the apartment." After saying that, she straightened up, grimaced at Qi'er, and continued, "You have to be careful, don't faint on the way to the food......

"Haha!" Qi'er jumped up with excitement, "I still have the strength to eat!" Let's just go, how about it? ”

Jingzhi saw that Qi'er was regaining her spirits and said happily, "Okay! Okay! I'm just waiting for your words! I'm always ready to eat! Let's go together! ”

Jingzhi and Qi'er walked out of the apartment door one after the other. Jingzhi took out the key and locked the door, quickly turned around, took out two keys from her pocket, handed them to Qi'er beside her, and said, "Oh, this is for you, I prepared it for you in advance." You see, there are two keys in total, one can open the door of our apartment, and the other can open the door downstairs of the apartment. I've tried them all, and they all work very well, so you can rest assured. ”

"It's amazing! Hey! Qi'er blossomed, grabbed the key lightly, and put it in her pocket.

The height of summer in Mutas has passed, and even if the sun is shining at noon, it is difficult to hide the cold of early autumn. Even so, at such a time, walking on such a secluded path to one of Jingzhi's favorite restaurants, even if you are physically exhausted, you will feel comfortable with the pleasant scenery and delicious food you will eat along the way.

Qi'er walked and walked, suddenly stopped, looked at Jingzhi beside her suspiciously, and asked her, "Senior Sister Jingzhi, where are you going to treat today?" ”

Jingzhi also stopped and replied, "There is a Chinese restaurant near here, I have been to it a few times, and I found that the dishes there are quite rich. I don't know exactly what you like to eat, but I think you can always find a few of your favorite foods on the menu. If you really don't like the food there, we can change to another one. ”

"Oops! No need! No need! I'm not that picky! Let's go! I'm starving! After speaking, Qi'er pulled Jingzhi and strode forward.

Jingzhi was pulled by Qi'er, and she also quickened her pace and said, "It's almost there...... It's just a short walk away......"
