The elderly man was ecstatic, insisting that they could sign the lease anytime.

Ian hesitated for a moment. Both he and Cindy could no longer stand the house with a single room and a living

room, so he blurted, “If possible, I prefer signing the contract today and moving in tomorrow.”

Eager to have them confirm the lease, the elderly man instantly said sure, repeating it thrice to portray his

sincerity. Thus, Ian and the elderly man handled the signing of the contract.

Cindy, on the other hand, took another round in the house and briefly studied the layout. When she was done, she

could almost picture living here now.

By noon, Ian and the elderly man had already signed the contract. In the afternoon, Ian went to record a relatively

short show, so they arrived home in the evening. Cindy packed everything. Since the movers would be coming early

the next morning, many things had to be sorted out on this day. For that reason, they ordered takeaway for dinner.

After eating, they spent the rest of the time packing up. When everything was done, Cindy then cleaned the house.

As this house was assigned to Ian by the company, it’d be returned to the company upon moving out, so she

naturally had to clean the place.

Ian initially wanted to help, but Cindy found him more of a trouble than help, so she waved a dismissive hand. “It’s

okay. I can manage by myself. You go and sit there. Don’t wander around.

” Very much obedient, Ian went to the sofa and sat down cross-legged. Then, he turned on the television. Washed

fruits were on the coffee table, so he snagged an apple and bit into it. Then, he looked at the item in his hand

before shifting his gaze to the fruit platter on the coffee table. She’s really taking good care of me. After mopping

the floor, Cindy became sweaty, and it had her feeling ill at ease. She wavered slightly by the sofa, but in the end,

she took a change of clothes and furtively went into the washroom. The moment the sound of running water

started in the washroom, Ian jumped up from the sofa in surprise. He knew that Cindy had gone to take a shower.

The washroom had a frosted glass door with faint light showing through. If one were to look closely, one could even

make out the person’s silhouette. He didn’t dare to look in that direction at all, the tips of his ears burning hotly.

Swiftly turning off the television, he spun around and went back to his room. Even after he’d closed the door, his

heart was still pounding wildly. Although he didn’t see anything, he felt as though he’d seen everything. He paced

for a bit in his room, knowing that he’d overreacted. It was a long while before he finally calmed down. Then, he

went over to the door and listened for movement outside. A few minutes later, Cindy came out of the washroom

and was seemingly packing her things since rustling sounds came from outside. Inhaling deeply several times, Ian

went back to his bed, feeling inexplicably agitated. He slapped himself on the forehead, thinking, Everything will be

fine tomorrow.

When we’ve both moved into the new house, such an awkward situation can be totally avoided. He waited for a

good while before opening his door and going out, so Cindy was already lying down. Every time she lay down, she

curled into a tiny ball. Her blanket was very fluffy as well, so he mostly had to strain to see her since she was almost

invisible after burrowing into the blanket considering her naturally slim and petite build. After that, he went for a

shower as well and finished in record time before hurrying back to his room. When his room door was closed, Cindy

opened her eyes and let out an exasperated sigh. Her thoughts were similar to Ian’s. When we’ve moved

tomorrow, all the awkward situations will be a thing of the past. That night, both of them were occupied with their

own thoughts. The next day, the movers came early in the morning. Cindy woke up even earlier, sorting out

everything that was to be transported. Since Ian hadn’t been living here for long, there weren’t many things. Thus,

the movers managed to take everything in a single trip. Ian and Cindy had also packed, so they followed the movers

in another car. Since there weren’t many things, the entire process didn’t take long. When everything was settled,

Cindy even had time to make breakfast in the new house. Ah, it’s truly nice not to be under the paparazzis’ watchful

gaze! Or else I can’t even imagine the crowd that would’ve been tailing us to snap photos as we moved houses this

time.
