Huo Qinqi was originally in Beijing temporarily. He left after two days, while Shen Shuci was busy with the new house, barely having any time to rest. Sometimes even Tang Wan would see her only occasionally.
When they finally met up, she complained about Huo Qinqi.
It was all about the trouble he caused while accompanying her furniture shopping in Beijing.
Huo Qinqi was not the type to flatter others; he was straightforward and direct. Every time Shen Shuci asked him if a piece of furniture looked good, his responses nearly made her spit blood.
"This cabinet is all show and no substance."
"The color is too gaudy."
"This bed isn't big enough."
...
The only things he found agreeable were pieces with cold, hard lines, oozing industrial style.
"Don't you think the furniture you like, once placed in our home, will feel too hard and lack a bit of warmth?"
