As the weekend comes, Alex took Hazel shopping to buy some furniture and everything that Hazel might need in the new place. The apartment was empty and instead of making his own decision, Alex had always wanted to let Hazel chose whatever she liked.

Alex drove over to a furniture shop and the shop attendant immediately greeted them amiably at the door. Hearing that the two were going to buy a few sets of furniture for a house, the shop attendant was immediately happy.

The couple was led towards the sofa area and the shop attendant started to introduce them to a few best-selling and new arrivals in their store. 

Seeing that the couple started to discuss which sofa set they liked best, the shop attendant tacitly left to give them some privacy.

"I still think that we don't need to fully furnish the apartment," Hazel said. "Anyway, I will be living there for a few months. It will be a waste if we buy too many things for the house."

Alex listened to her words and a smile curled on his lips. He liked how this discussion sounded like they were looking to decorate their house together.

"It's fine. Once you graduate and return to L City, I can always rent the apartment to someone else," Alex said. "With a fully furnish apartment, it would be easier to get a higher rent."

Hazel nodded. "That's true." Her movement halted and Hazel turned to Alex with a quizzical expression. "Didn't you say that you bought that unit because you wanted privacy? Once I return to L City, are you planning to rent the apartment to someone else?"

Alex chuckled. "By the time you graduated, my project in this city should stabilize as well. Danel won't need me to help him manage the company so much. Of course, I'm planning to head back to L City and help my dad with the company matters."

"So, it's like that." Hazel nodded.

She had always guessed that Alex was going to take over his family business someday.

A thought came to her mind and Hazel tilted her head to one side as she looked at him. "Alex He, why does it feel like you're staying in B City to accompany me?" Her eyes narrowed and Hazel laughed. "I'm probably thinking too much, right?"

Alex did not say a word and merely smiled at her. "Speaking of that, the company send me to attend a banquet in a few days." Alex tried to change the subject before Hazel would think further into the matter. "Would you come with me as my plus one?"

Hazel thought of her schedule and nodded. "Sure. I'll come with you." After the last assignments, her schedule was not as pack as before.

At this time, the shop attendant returned to ask them about their decision. After a brief discussion with Alex, the two finally settled on the dark gray sofa set. The color was suitable to match with any color and it would not look too dirty.

After choosing the dining set, the two walked into the bedroom area. 

The unit that Alex had bought was prepared with a built-in closet. Therefore, there were not many items that they have to search for. After deciding on the bed frame that she liked, the two of them went to look at a few mattresses on display.

After trying out a few of them, Hazel went back to the second one she tried. 

Alex watched as Hazel lay down on the mattress before he sat down beside her. "You like this one?"

"I think this is the most comfortable one so far." Hazel inched inside to create a space between them and patted at the mattress. "Here. Try and lay down and tell me what you think?"

His gaze darkened, but Alex quickly looked away. He lay down beside her and looked up at the ceiling. 

"How is it? Comfortable, right?"

Alex turned around when he heard her voice. Suddenly, the two of them were looking at each other. A few seconds passed and a strange feeling rose as Hazel looked at the man beside her.

Laying down beside Alex on the mattress gave her a strange feeling.

He was so close to her that Hazel could feel his breath tickling her skin. Their pair of eyes were looking into each other. Hazel thought that Alex's eyes looked very beautiful. She could almost see her reflection in them. Suddenly, she had a feeling was as if she was going to be sucked into them.

His eyes were pulling her closer to him and Hazel was fighting the urge to kiss him.

The shop attendant chose this time to return. He let out a dry cough and smiled amiably when the couple looked at him. "Sorry for the interruption. Have you made your choice? Or else, I can show you a few other choices that we have."

"No need," Hazel said. She sat up quickly and get off the mattress fast. "We like this one." 

The attendant's smile widened. "Excellent choice. This is one of the best-selling mattresses we have here. In fact, most of the newlyweds would choose this one as well. The material is excellent and good for any postures. It's easy to clean, durable, and heavy-duty."

Hazel lowered her head shyly upon hearing the attendant's words. Suddenly, she was worried that the shop attendant had misunderstood her relationship with Alex. 

They were not newlyweds, ah! Moreover… why does she think that the shop attendant's words seemed a little strange?

The thought made her heart skipped a beat. Hazel glanced at Alex and the memories of lying down beside him resurfaced on her mind. Contrary to Hazel's expression, Alex had a cool look on his face as he continued to talk to the shop attendant.

After settling down with the payment and the delivery, the couple stopped by a restaurant to have their lunch. Then, they headed over to the mall to buy a few things that they might need for the house. 

Hazel looked at the sets of plates and bowls before she looked at Alex for his opinion. "Isn't this is a little too much? Why would we need too many bowls? There are just the two of us, right?"

His expression softened upon hearing her words. He could already foresee that the two of them were going to share many meals together. "Mmm... you're right. Just buying a pair of everything should be enough."

Hazel agreed before she grabbed two sets of everything and put them in her trolley. Alex looked at the items and his eyes darkened.

Shopping and choosing things together made him really feel as if they were going to move into one place together. As the thought came to his mind, Alex made a plan to slowly integrate himself into her life.. Perhaps soon, the two would live in one place instead of two different units.
