Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 491 - 395: Sofa Bed? (2)

"Are you talking about that one?"

Xu Hongdou finally realized what was going on.

"Yes."

The store clerk nodded generously. Home furniture is for use at home, so you definitely need to consider every aspect of life.

"You also need rigid springs for reinforcement? Is there so much fuss?"

Xu Hongdou blushed slightly, yet was very curious and asked.

"Miss, an ordinary sofa can’t withstand too much wear and tear for long..."

The store clerk answered Xu Hongdou’s question very seriously. As a senior salesperson in the furniture industry, she’d encountered her fair share of bizarre customers.

For example, there was once a customer who bought a sofa and after just one month, claimed the sofa was broken and wanted a replacement.

Originally, the person came intending to buy a branded product, and if it broke in a month, of course they wanted it replaced.

But after replacing it, workers found that after dismantling the sofa, all the springs, which were supposed to last five or six years and of very good quality, were broken.

Did this family have dance parties on the sofa regularly?

The staff couldn’t figure it out.

It wasn’t until the salespeople called the couple to tell them the sofa had been replaced, wanting to know the reason, that the truth came out.

The couple confessed that they found the sofa convenient, and every time they played poker, it was on the sofa, which is why it broke in just a month.

After this incident, the brand’s designers specially created this convenient and durable sofa bed.

"Uh... It’s that intense..."

Xu Hongdou found it hard to imagine this matter could actually break a sofa.

"Miss, it’s not just sofas; many things can be broken. There are desks that get sat on and broken, and bathroom sinks that have collapsed." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The store clerk, who was clearly very knowledgeable, shared that there are always customers who break their furniture in spur-of-the-moment antics and then later complain that the furniture’s quality is poor.

This actually has a lot to do with the design and load-bearing of the furniture. No matter how thin a person is, two people combined weigh around 100 kilograms. Furniture isn’t designed for 100 kilograms to be placed on it and endure intense activity.

"Hmm... I see..."

Xu Hongdou nodded, blushed red to the ears. The salesgirl had already explained in such detail. Although she wanted to hear more, it wasn’t right to continue asking.

However, just a little thought made Xu Hongdou feel incredulous.

In no time, Xu Hongdou caught up with Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni, who were browsing around. However, the way Xu Hongdou looked at Xu Man Ni and Zhao Heng now seemed a bit peculiar.

"Sis, that sofa bed, do you really want to buy it?"

Xu Hongdou tugged on Xu Man Ni’s arm and spoke in a whisper.

Initially, she wanted to live with Xu Man Ni, thinking that since the two sisters hadn’t seen each other for a long time, living together would be a good way to care for each other like they did when they were younger. Xu Hongdou still cherished and liked this feeling.

But now, the store clerk’s words made Xu Hongdou think of a problem: Xu Man Ni and Zhao Heng were about to get married and lived together. Naturally, there would be times when they needed to be alone, and if she was there, would it be inconvenient for them?

Moreover, if the two of them were in the bedroom... even if the room was soundproof, there would still be some sound, and how awkward would that be for her?

"It seems very convenient; I might consider buying it. Why?"

Xu Man Ni thought for a moment and said.

"Nothing, nothing..."

Xu Hongdou waved her hand.

At worst, she could just pretend she didn’t know anything when the time came.

No matter the stormy seas, I remain unmoved!

We’re all adults now, it’s perfectly normal!

"That’s strange..."

Xu Man Ni glanced at Xu Hongdou and said.

"Want to pick one?"

After a pause, Xu Man Ni continued.

"Huh? Pick what?"

Xu Man Ni’s words suddenly left Xu Hongdou a bit dumbfounded, not knowing what she meant.

"Aren’t you going to stay? You pick out the stuff for your bedroom yourself, so you won’t complain like you did in high school when you said I bought you tacky sheets and comforters..."

Xu Man Ni unhurriedly said.

"I do need to pick carefully."

Xu Hongdou nodded in agreement, as she and Xu Man Ni had very different tastes.

How to put it?

The things Xu Hongdou liked were more girly, as for Xu Man Ni, she was all about that mature, intellectual, romantic style.

Following this, Zhao Heng, Xu Man Ni, and Xu Hongdou visited a few high-end custom stores, and eventually settled on one. Both Xu Man Ni and Xu Hongdou were very serious in their browsing, and Zhao Heng was naturally just going through the motions the entire time.

Once they had chosen the furniture, it was time to check out the house. Seeing it was still early, around four o’clock, Zhao Heng, Xu Man Ni, and Xu Hongdou went to the new apartment they just bought in North City No.1 Courtyard.

The apartment Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni bought had one unit per floor, with an elevator that reached right to the apartment door. While this might not be much in other cities, in the core area of land-scarce North City, it was downright luxurious.

As soon as she entered, Xu Hongdou sighed.

"Sis, this is really big; you guys are indeed wealthy."

Located in the core area of North City, even a small apartment is sky-high in price, not to mention this 200-meter flat.

And a villa in the core area of North City?

Well, unless your ancestors trekked across the grasslands, there’s no chance whatsoever!

"It’s just that it looks a bit too empty right now."

Pausing, looking at the vast, empty living room, Xu Hongdou added.

"Originally, the furniture here was quite nice."

Xu Man Ni said.

"Why not keep some then?"

Xu Hongdou couldn’t help but ask.

Good furniture can last decades, and if it’s truly nice, keeping some isn’t unreasonable.

This apartment previously belonged to the famous actress Yang Mi, and one could imagine money wasn’t an issue, so the furniture must have been top-tier.

"The style didn’t match; the existing furniture style was too tacky."

Xu Man Ni explained.

This original furniture was the kind that looked tacky but tried hard to make you think it was valuable.

"Huh? The furniture a big star bought was still tacky?"

Xu Hongdou was surprised. Xu Man Ni had mentioned before that this apartment belonged to the big star Yang Mi.

"Stars are even more prone to being coaxed into buying ridiculously expensive yet mediocre things..."

Xu Man Ni quipped.

"Come on, I’ll show you the bedroom."

Pausing, Xu Man Ni took Xu Hongdou’s hand.

As for Zhao Heng, he stood at the living room’s floor-to-ceiling window, watching the view outside. The scenery here in North City’s core area was something one never tired of.

For ordinary people to achieve the chance to see this view, it’s basically impossible without a stroke of luck, like Zhao Heng’s.

Xu Man Ni and Xu Hongdou soon arrived at the master bedroom. After checking out the layout, Xu Hongdou suddenly went to the wall, tapped it, and then asked Xu Man Ni, "Sis, my room isn’t right next door, is it?"

"Yes, aside from the master bedroom, the room next door is the largest."

"You don’t want the master bedroom, do you? That’s not happening."

Xu Man Ni looked at Xu Hongdou, a bit suspiciously.

"This is your bridal suite; I’m not that clueless..."

"Sis, this wall, it’s soundproof, right?"

Recalling what the salesgirl had lectured her on earlier, Xu Hongdou couldn’t help but ask.

"Of course it’s soundproof."

"What are you even talking about, Xu Hongdou!!"

At first, Xu Man Ni didn’t quite grasp the context, but she quickly glared at Xu Hongdou and replied.

Her face was slightly flushed as she spoke.

"I was just saying casually; Sis, you’re thirty, and brother-in-law is only twenty-five. I’ve heard this kind of pairing is the most...you know..."

Xu Hongdou explained very earnestly.

"It seems like you really need to find a boyfriend. You’re so free that you’re worried about my private life."

Xu Man Ni replied helplessly.

Since they were young, she and Xu Hongdou could talk about anything, so Xu Hongdou was quite direct with her.

But discussing such personal matters seemed a bit strange, like it wasn’t really suitable for sharing.

"I’m not going to. I’ve said that when you have kids, I’ll help raise them, and later you can care for me in my old age."

Xu Hongdou pouted.

"There’s just no managing you..."

Seeing Xu Hongdou’s stubborn and carefree manner, Xu Man Ni responded weakly.

Though it sounded like a joke, Xu Man Ni knew Xu Hongdou might sincerely think that way. After all, who knows a sister better than her own?
