Chapter 238 Moving? Pressure to get married? Someone you like?

Nan Shu remembers that when she first moved here, all her luggage didn't even fill two suitcases.

Something furry brushed against my fingertips.

Nan Shu lowered her head and met a pair of beautiful heterochromatic eyes. Nan Shu couldn't help but smile, looking at the five little ones surrounding her, thinking to herself, "There's more than just luggage..."

We followed the moving company's truck to the villa, where the staff unloaded our luggage, and the layout was almost a one-to-one replica.

Apart from the lazy Tie Zhu, the four little ones curiously explored the territory.

Tie Hanhan loved the lawn in front of the villa the most. He ran around the villa more than a dozen times until he was panting heavily before lying down next to Nan Shu.

"It seems there's nothing we can do to help."

At this time.

A teasing female voice rang out from the doorway.

Nan Shu was sunbathing on the second-floor terrace when she heard this. She opened her eyes, quickly walked to the railing, looked down, and saw Wang Yaqin and the others standing at the door. Li Feng was holding a barbecue grill, and Nan Punian and Xu Yunli were carrying several large bags.

Nan Shu's almond-shaped eyes lit up, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

"Sister Yaqin, Team Leader Nan, what brings you here?"

"I heard you moved. Since there hasn't been much work at the brigade lately, I was thinking of taking my annual leave and coming to do some manual labor for you. I never expected..."

Wang Yaqin glanced at the staff coming and going without any apparent disruption and smiled, "They have absolutely no use for it."

"I'm so happy that you could come, Sister Yaqin."

Nan Shu knew that the team was usually very busy, and it was extremely difficult to take annual leave, so she never even thought about having a housewarming party or anything like that.

I was surprised and delighted that everyone came; a warm feeling washed over me as well.

"Sister Yaqin, Xiaonan, can't we talk about this later? Can't you have some sympathy for this laborer?"

Li Feng, holding the iron furnace, used both hands and feet, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Alright, go in. You talk too much."

Nan Punian made way for Li Feng to go in first.

"Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮, you just know how to bully me..."

Li Feng muttered something as he placed the barbecue grill in the open space of the garden. Nan Shu came down from the second floor and welcomed the group into the house.

"I must say, the house is actually quite nicely decorated."

Wang Yaqin handed the beautifully packaged gift box to Nan Shu, saying, "This is for our housewarming celebration. We all chipped in to buy it together. It's not expensive, but please don't refuse, Nan Shu."

Nan Shu glanced at the group and reached out to take it.

"Thank you."

"Silly girl, why are you thanking us?"

Wang Yaqin rolled up her sleeves, clapped her hands twice, and said, "Alright, time is tight and the task is heavy, let's get to work."

Nan Punian and Xu Yunli placed the ingredients on the island counter. The two of them processed the ingredients while the other prepared the skewers. Li Feng, on the other hand, set up the barbecue grill himself, and Nan Shu didn't have to lift a finger the whole time.

Nan Shu couldn't sit still and wanted to help Ya Qin, but Ya Qin pushed her aside: "Go away, what are you doing in the kitchen, little kid? Go play somewhere else."

Nan Shu, who is actually 21 years old but mentally 26: ...

After the moving company workers finished packing the belongings, they tactfully left.

Nan Shu watched from the island platform for a while and realized there was really nothing she could do, so she simply moved a deck chair to the garden and continued sunbathing.

Watching Li Feng frantically light the fire and try grilling skewers.

As I watched, I unknowingly fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was already dark.

A blanket had somehow appeared on my body, and the air was filled with the aroma of barbecued meat.

"woke up?"

Nan Shu was still a little dazed, listening to that clear, melodious voice, her reaction slow, until a face was right in front of her, and behind the glasses, fox-like eyes were filled with a twinkling smile. Nan Shu blinked.

Looking at the face so close to his, how come I never noticed before that the forensic doctor Xu had such good skin? It's almost as good as Wei Yue's.

"What are you thinking about?"

Nan Shu was a little slow to react, and subconsciously blurted out what was on her mind.

Xu Yunli was taken aback, automatically ignoring the other person's name, and the smile in his eyes deepened, "Are you hungry?"

Hunger, like grievance, goes unnoticed when no one asks, but once it's brought up, it uncontrollably surfacees.

Nan Shu touched her stomach and nodded. "I'm hungry." She could eat a whole cow right now.

"Get up and eat something, or Xiao Li will eat it all."

Xu Yunli reached out and pulled the person up from the chair.

Next to the barbecue grill, Nan Punian and others sat in a circle on chairs, with several empty soda bottles placed under the table.

Even on vacation, one cannot drink alcohol without prior notification.

The group said they were on annual leave, but they only took one day off. They got drunk today and were afraid they wouldn't be able to work well tomorrow, so they simply substituted sparkling water and cola for alcohol.

Seeing that Nan Shu had woken up, Wang Yaqin glanced thoughtfully at Xu Yunli and patted the empty seat next to her.

"Xiao Nan, come here and sit down."

Nan Shu sat down next to Wang Yaqin. Xu Yunli glanced at Wang Yaqin, pursed his lips, and sat down next to Nan Punian.

"Are you hungry? This is all for you. It was just baked and it's still warm."

Wang Yaqin pushed the tray in front of Nan Shu.

"Thank you, Sister Yaqin."

Nan Shu smiled, picked up a skewer, and listened to Nan Punian and Wang Yaqin bickering.

Wang Yaqin pulled out a can of beer from somewhere and pushed it in front of Nan Shu, saying, "Eating barbecue without beer is like missing half the flavor. But Nan Shu is different; the rules of the brigade don't apply to you."

Nan Shu's almond-shaped eyes curved into a smile as she whispered her thanks.

Li Feng watched with envy, and pouted, "Sister Yaqin, you're being unfair."

Wang Yaqin crossed her arms and glanced at him.

"Then you drink it."

Li Feng opened his mouth, glanced at Nan Punian subconsciously, and silently raised his sparkling water. "Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮"

All you do is bully him!

Nan Shu laughed when she saw him get flustered.

She likes this feeling.

Li Feng was a chatterbox, and during the meal he talked about everything from his first crush to his university job. Wang Yaqin and Nan Punian occasionally talked about their early days in the brigade, and even Xu Yunli, in this atmosphere, shared some of his own stories.

However, his life was too routine for Li Feng to appreciate.

"By the way, I heard that the hospital in our cooperating city is planning to hold a social event with us. Xiao Nan is still young, but you three grown men are not so young anymore. Why don't you consider signing up?"

Wang Yaqin held a cup of hot tea, ate a warm roasted orange, and looked at the three of them.

Police officers, doctors, nurses, and teachers are three professions that often combine into one another, since these professions are all quite busy and people can understand each other's sense of responsibility.

Wang Yaqin's husband is a doctor. They met through a social gathering. Although they live in the same city, their relationship is like a long-distance one. Fortunately, their parents help them a lot.

As the only one in this group who was married and had children, she naturally took on the role of urging others to get married.

"I'm not going. I've been working out lately, just in case a rich woman takes a liking to me someday."

Li Feng hugged himself tightly.
