Chapter 111
Xu Chao was somewhat surprised when he heard Yun Xiaolu inquiring about housing prices. He asked, "Are you planning to buy a house?"
These days, very few people wanted to buy a house. If it weren't for Xu Chao's level being insufficient, his family wouldn't have even thought of buying a marital home for him. According to Yun Xiaolu's level, she should be able to smoothly get allocated a house once she gets married. So, it was inevitable for Xu Chao to be puzzled when he heard her asking about buying a house.
"Yes, I do have that plan. There are many older colleagues in our unit, and most of them still live in dormitories with their families. I've only been working for a few years, so I don't feel comfortable competing for a spot with them."
Xu Chao's eyes softened upon hearing this. He knew that with Yun Xiaolu's independence, it would actually be quite easy for her to get a separate house. However, some people would accept such special treatment without any guilt, while others would be reluctant to take advantage of it.
"What kind of house do you want? Once you decide, I can help you inquire. I have some friends in Beijing, and I might be able to assist you in finding a suitable house." Xu Chao didn't mention buying the house for Yun Xiaolu. He knew that such words couldn't be spoken. He had always been someone who understood boundaries. He could offer his help wholeheartedly, but he couldn't put pressure on the other person.
Besides, if Yun Xiaolu hadn't put all the dividends into the fund and made scientific research donations, she would probably be one of the few wealthy people in this era.
Yun Xiaolu smiled and said, "Right now, I'm just inquiring. I'll decide when to buy later."
Xu Chao would soon return to the army, and he knew that Yun Xiaolu still had concerns when she said that. He didn't ask further and simply left his contact information.
"If you need anything, you can contact Sun Gang. He won't let you suffer in terms of prices, at the very least."
The two of them strolled along the street and saw a small stall selling caramelized chestnuts. Yun Xiaolu couldn't take her eyes off it.
"I'll have a freshly fried one."
Xu Chao paid the money, and soon Yun Xiaolu received a hot serving of caramelized chestnuts.
"I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Yeah, I know."
"It might be a while before I can come to see you after I go back."
"Yeah."
"After I return, I want to give a love report."
"Oh, really?"
Yun Xiaolu's ears turned slightly red as she stared at the caramelized chestnuts in her hand, as if she could find a pattern in them.
After a while, she slowly raised her head and looked at Xu Chao. "If we're going to do it, let's do it."
Xu Chao's eyes held an even greater smile as he reached out and wiped the crumbs from the corner of Yun Xiaolu's mouth. He whispered, "If I don't have any missions, I'll write you letters frequently."
Yun Xiaolu's eyes and eyebrows curved. "I'll write you letters too."
Meanwhile, Xu Nianyun stayed in the main brain space, looking for a long time, and then fell into deep silence, even questioning the meaning of life.
Originally, she was a little excited. After all, not everyone could witness the budding stages of their parents' love. She even prepared a folder specifically to record every important stage of Mrs. Yun and Mr. Xu's relationship.
