Chapter 486 Introduction
Xiaocui was very happy, and excited as well. She thought to herself that she must do her best to help Shen Mianmian in the future. Mianmian had been so kind to her, and she wanted to reciprocate that kindness.
The two of them strolled around the streets again, with Shen Mianmian showing Xiaocui around to familiarize her with the surroundings. However, Xiaocui didn’t remember the way at all, but Shen Mianmian hadn’t really expected her to memorize it all at once. Still, getting her acquainted with the area was definitely a good thing.
When they got home, it was only half past two in the afternoon. Having been out and about, they were both drenched in sweat. Shen Mianmian took a shower and changed into clean clothes, which made her feel much more comfortable.
Xiaocui also wanted to shower, but she didn’t know how to use the modern conveniences of the city. Shen Mianmian didn’t mind the trouble and taught her how to use them, and Xiaocui found these city conveniences incredibly handy.
"Xiaocui, if you’re bored after taking a shower, you can watch some TV. I’m going to read for a while and then take a nap," Shen Mianmian suggested.
Her life in Beijing had been so leisurely lately that aside from reading books and watching TV, Shen Mianmian had taken to napping as a habit. When this time of day came around, she found herself feeling sleepy.
"Okay, go ahead and sleep!" Xiaocui replied.
Xiaocui, holding her clothes, went to the bathroom. After sorting everything out, she sat in the living room, but she didn’t turn on the television. Back in the village, everyone watched together, and she felt that watching a television alone was a waste of electricity. So she also went back to her room for a nap.
The two of them slept until past four in the afternoon, then went out to buy groceries together. For dinner, they cooked four dishes and one soup. Xiaocui helped out, looking on as Shen Mianmian prepared so much, she was a bit puzzled.
"Mianmian, the two of us can’t finish all this, can we?" she asked.
"There’s also Brother He." Brother He had helped her so much, and she didn’t know how else to repay him except to be as kind as she could.
