“It won’t happen, really.”
Mu Qianqian waved her hand, and as if remembering something, she asked, “Su Yichen, are you single?”
“Yes, I’m single.”
Su Yichen nodded. “Rest assured, I won’t bring friends over. If you agree to let me co-rent with you, we can write this requirement into our joint rental agreement.”
Handsome and beautiful, mature and rational, gentle and polite.
And… clean.
This was Mu Qianqian’s most intuitive impression of Su Yichen, and also her first.
She didn’t hesitate anymore and took out her keys to open the door.
“Please, come in.”
“Thank you.”
Su Yichen didn’t forget to offer his thanks before stepping over the threshold.
As he passed by her side, Mu Qianqian caught a scent she had never smelled before.
Unlike any perfume she had encountered during her time working at the nightclub, it was incredibly natural—a fresh and elegant floral fragrance.
‘If Su Yichen slept on the bed for a night… would it smell like this the next day?’
Mu Qianqian’s mind was full of wild thoughts when suddenly…
‘Oh no!’
‘I forgot to put away some very strange things I left on the bed!’
‘Luckily, the bedroom door is closed…’
Upon entering the living room, Su Yichen smelled a very faint scent of sandalwood. His gaze swept across the tidy living room and then landed on the shoe cabinet.
Combining his observations from their meeting to their time spent together so far, Su Yichen had already formed a preliminary judgment of what kind of girl Mu Qianqian was.
“Mu Qianqian, do you have shoe covers?”
“Ah… yes.”
Mu Qianqian rummaged through the shoe cabinet for a moment, pulled out a box of unopened shoe covers, and gave a blue pair to Su Yichen.
Su Yichen took the shoe covers and put them on.
At the same time, he observed everything he saw, using his intellect—which far surpassed that of an ordinary person—to quickly analyze all the information he collected.
Mu Qianqian’s social circle was narrow; no outsiders had ever visited the house.
And there might also be a…
His gaze fell on a pair of white mesh shoes.
‘A younger sister.’
“I’ve been renting this place ever since I moved here, and I’m usually very fond of tidiness,” Mu Qianqian said as she closed the door, taking the initiative to introduce the place. “So, it’s kept quite clean.”
“The landlord is also a very nice lady. She’s been great to me, the rent is the cheapest around, and she has never raised it.”
“It’s just that the decor is a bit old.”
“It’s fine. I think it’s pretty good, much better than a dormitory. Besides, the price is only 600 per month,” Su Yichen nodded.
“Mhm, that’s good then.”
Having worked at a nightclub for so long, Mu Qianqian had some ability to read people. She could tell from Su Yichen’s expression and tone that he was very satisfied with both the rent and the house.
Now she needed to state her position.
Inwardly, Mu Qianqian could completely accept Su Yichen, but she couldn’t be too direct…
There were still some necessary questions to ask, like where he worked.
Or was he still looking for a job, just like she was when she first arrived in Jinyue City?
Should she help introduce him to a job?
Wait, Su Yichen just said he lived in a dormitory before?
‘An employee dormitory? Or…’
‘A student dormitory?’
At this thought, Mu Qianqian was slightly stunned. Just as she was about to say something, Mu Xia ran out of the room.
“Sister, I’ve been thinking about this problem for so long, I really don’t know how to… Eh?”
“A boy?!”
Having already conveyed his attitude and waiting for Mu Qianqian’s response, Su Yichen noticed a young girl running out of the room.
The girl was wearing a high school uniform, and her appearance was about 70% to 80% similar to Mu Qianqian’s.
The uniform was a blue and white summer skirt set. Such uniforms were common in Jinyue City and had a very youthful and beautiful vibe, but for girls with less-than-ideal leg shapes… they weren’t very friendly.
However, the girl in front of him had slender and well-proportioned legs, with rounded and firm calves. There was no such concern at all.
The quality of the uniform was quite ordinary, so it probably wasn’t a very famous high school…
During these past few days, Su Yichen hadn’t been idle.
He had gathered a lot of basic information about Jinyue City, such as the fact that Jinyue City wasn’t just a second-tier city but a metropolis with a population of 10 million.
This included the status of some of the better schools.
The uniforms of the three most famous T1 middle schools in Jinyue City each had their own unique characteristics.
Even the five T2 middle schools, which were slightly inferior to them, had specially designed uniforms.
This kind of ordinary uniform was generally only found in T3 or even lower-tier middle schools.
Glancing at the school badge on the girl’s left chest, which looked like a flower bud about to bloom, Su Yichen quickly knew which school she attended.
Lily of the Valley Middle School.
“Sister, this is the first time I’ve seen you bring a friend home. And such a good-looking boy!”
The girl bounced in front of Su Yichen in two or three steps, her gaze immediately drawn to him. “So… so handsome.”
“The scent on you is very charming, too.”
“Sister, could this be your boyfriend?”
“Damn it…!”
“I’m jealous, Sister! To think the beautiful boy I wouldn’t even dare to dream about actually became your boyfriend!”
The girl blinked, a flash of mischief in her eyes. “Sister, if you let me have him, I’ll definitely get into the top ten of the class!”
Su Yichen almost burst out laughing upon hearing this.
These sisters… were quite interesting.
“Mu Xia!”
Mu Qianqian hurriedly pulled her sister back, who seemed to have been blinded by his looks. She said, “This is Su Yichen. He’s here to co-rent. He’s older than me, so you should call him Brother Su.”
“He’s here to see the room today.”
“Oh, I see. I thought he was your boyfriend.” Mu Xia immediately stood still and gave Su Yichen a sweet smile. “Hello, Brother Yichen. I’m Mu Xia.”
“Sister Qianqian’s younger sister.”
“Hello, I’m Su Yichen.”
“Brother Yichen, although this house isn’t big, my sister and I keep it very clean… If you rent here, not only will you have your own room, but you’ll also have two cute girls as your roommates~”
Without waiting for Mu Qianqian to continue, Mu Xia hurriedly started her sales pitch. “Brother Yichen, do you have a girlfriend? If you do, that~ would be very inconvenient.”
Mu Qianqian slapped her forehead, her face full of dark lines.
“No, I’m still single.”
Su Yichen smiled. “Do you drink milk tea?”
He held out the milk tea in his hand to Mu Xia and said, “I bought it outside when I met your sister just now.”
“Thank you, Brother Yichen!”
Mu Xia took the milk tea and blinked, looking well-behaved. “I’ll let Sister continue showing you the room. I’m going back to do my problems.”
“You just said there was a problem you couldn’t do. What is it? Why don’t you tell me? Maybe I can teach you.”
“Teach me…? You wouldn’t know how!”
“Wait.”
“Brother Yichen… you… you can do it?”
Mu Xia’s eyes widened in disbelief. “This is a high school math problem.”
Mu Xia knew where her sister worked, so she subconsciously assumed Su Yichen worked there, too.
The poor and precocious girl knew that the gap and disparity between people could be larger than the gap between a person and a dog.
