Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 640

Chapter 640: Chapter 636 Xie Jingzi’s Journey to Beijing 01

——————

Time to rewind a bit, as the school finally concluded the end-of-term exams, and just so happens the next day was Xiao Nian—

Xie Jingzi felt incredibly nervous inside, having just started winter break from school when she was picked up right at the school gate by her uncle’s assistant and taken to his place.

Unexpectantly, what she thought would be an encounter with her irresponsible uncle turned out to be the news that due to work, he had gone down to the towns below to work on the year-end report two days ago and would not return to the county town for about two days.

Upon learning this, Xie Jingzi was not annoyed but stayed very obediently at her uncle’s place to do her homework.

Yes, she now had even more homework than in high school; a massive pile of assignments. If she didn’t take advantage of her uncle’s absence to rush through it, there wouldn’t be much time left later to write.

In order not to register for a retake in front of her tutor, Xie Jingzi obediently stayed home for two straight days diligently working on her assignments.

These two days actually went by very fast, and during that time, she even went back to her own home for a visit, relieved only when she saw nothing amiss.

In this respect, Xie Jingzi was overthinking; living in a complex for the high-ranking officials of the county, even the most foolish burglars wouldn’t dare to break into an empty house.

Moreover, it’s not like the Xie Family had no one at home, there were two tenants keeping watch, so thieves would not dare target their house. It was just a pity that she didn’t run into her fifth elder brother; she didn’t know what he was busy with recently, so mysterious and elusive. If it wasn’t for the tenant saying that he had been coming home every day since the start of the winter break, Xie Jingzi would have been really worried.

Hearing that her fifth elder brother would only return in the evening, Xie Jingzi simply went back to her uncle’s place to continue her homework. Don’t assume that being a university student is all majestic and wonderful; with homework piled up like a mountain, Xie Jingzi felt like she was running out of time...

And the uncle, who was initially supposed to return in two days, didn’t make it back until the evening of the third day.

If it hadn’t been for Zhou Zhenghui calling in advance to the residence letting Xie Jingzi be at ease, she might have actually gone out to start searching for him.

The moment Xie Jingzi saw her travel-worn partner, she immediately dropped her pen and excitedly shouted "Uncle" before throwing herself into his arms.

"..." Every time Zhou Zhenghui heard this nickname, he felt like he was deceiving a little niece... but damn, he shamefully thought it was quite nice!

"Little Zi’er, have you eaten dinner yet?" Zhou Zhenghui hugged her into his embrace, his thin lips pressing a kiss on her forehead, not caring that his clothes were covered in yellow dust and sand.

"Not yet, I’ve been waiting for you!" Xie Jingzi replied with a smile, looking up at him - their closeness resembling a married couple who had been separated for a long time and were now joyfully reunited.

Indeed, they hadn’t seen each other for a while as she had faced her final exams and had taken an extended leave from school partway through the semester to catch up on many missed topics. Xie Jingzi had no choice but to stay at school and intensely study various subjects.

As it happened, towards the end of the year, Zhou Zhenghui’s work also reached a point where he was enormously busy, so the two hadn’t seen each other for almost half a month.

"Uncle, you go freshen up first, I’ll finish preparing the last two dishes, then we can eat," she said.

"Alright." Zhou Zhenghui initially wanted to steal a kiss, but the young lady anticipated it, expertly dodged away, and even with a disgusted expression on her face, pointed to the bathroom urging him to clean himself up quickly.

Seeing his partner’s clever and mischievous demeanor, Zhou Zhenghui looked down at his own clothes that were too dirty to bear, his mania for cleanliness flaring up, feeling uncomfortable all over, he promptly complied with her wish and headed to the room where he slept.

Yes, Zhou Zhenghui had moved to a larger apartment, with two master bedrooms, each with their bathrooms; earlier, Xie Jingzi referred to the public bathroom in the living room.

Seeing that the uncle had obediently gone to freshen up, Xie Jingzi looked down at her own clothes that had turned grey from the dust he brought in, and immediately decided she, too, should change into a fresh set of clothes.
