Chapter 51 - 52: Adding Flowers to Brocade
Bai Lu’s heart skipped a beat, immediately grabbing Lou Xi’s hand, scaring Lou Xi enough to meet Bai Lu’s eyes, not daring to look around.
"What’s wrong?" Lou Xi asked.
"Nothing... nothing," Bai Lu shook her head repeatedly. She always felt Lou Xi had a different feeling towards this man. If she saw the two people feeding each other over there, she would probably be sad.
Lou Xi was also absent-minded, eating fries tastelessly. When she applied for university, she chose Nancheng because of Rong Zhi.
But there was an age gap between them. She had just entered school when he graduated; apart from him familiarizing her with the school on her first day, they hadn’t met on campus again.
In two years at university, they had met a handful of times in Nancheng.
Later, she found out he had a girlfriend, but his girlfriend minded that he had a neighbor sister.
Then, Lou Xi started dating Zhou Zichen...
At the start of her third year, they met again because of Qin Mobai, and under such circumstances!
He even misunderstood her relationship with Qin Mobai, thinking she was no longer the innocent little sister she used to be...
"Sigh..." Lou Xi sighed softly, but if Rong Zhi didn’t care about her, why did he leave her a card?
Was it simply because they were neighbors, and his care was limited to neighborly concern?
"Alright, alright, stop sighing, let’s quickly find a place to live, or we’ll have to sleep on the streets tonight!" Bai Lu hurriedly pulled Lou Xi out of the fast-food restaurant, fearing Lou Xi would be furious if she saw Rong Zhi being affectionate with his female colleague.
Lou Xi was pulled out of the fast-food restaurant by Bai Lu.
Just a few steps away from the fast-food restaurant, they saw a real estate agency.
"Xixi, let’s check out this real estate agency!" Saying this, Bai Lu pulled Lou Xi into the real estate agency.
Lou Xi thought, if they couldn’t find a cheap place, she’d have to use the money on the card and repay it once her part-time salary came in.
She didn’t want to owe Rong Zhi anything.
So... was it okay to owe Qin Mobai?
Lou Xi suddenly thought of Qin Mobai. It seemed like she really felt that owing Qin Mobai wasn’t a problem!
After all, she couldn’t pay it back...
"Are you two looking to rent or buy a house?"
"Rent a house, close to South City University," Bai Lu replied.
"Are you two still students? What’s your budget? I’ll see which house suits you."
...
"President Qin, after they left the fast-food place, they went to a real estate agency. They’ve been looking at houses all morning," none of which wasn’t intervened by Qin Mobai for reasons like being unsafe or uncomfortable.
So Lou Xi couldn’t find a house to rent, and Qin Mobai was also partly to blame.
The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, it was unclear what he was thinking, but then he said, "Proceed as planned."
"Yes." With that, the man hung up the phone and immediately called the head of the real estate agency.
In the office, Qin Mobai propped his head on one hand, looking somber.
She went to eat fast food at noon!
She was still trying to find a place to live!
Pretending not to find a house and shamelessly staying at his place wasn’t good enough?
This game of feigned indifference was brilliantly executed for their encounter!
