The affairs between a young couple are better kept from the elders.
At that mont, the young couple sneaked out of the house quietly, and when they reached the door, they shouted, "Mom! We have sothing to do today, so we won’t be eating at ho!"
After saying that, they ran off quickly.
By the ti Mrs. Xiao heard the noise and ca out of the kitchen, she could only see the backs of Xiao Chenye and Wen Ran.
"Two unlucky kids, if you have things to do, go do them, but why not eat first?!"
She hollered, "The al’s almost ready, have a bite before you go!"
From afar, Wen Ran’s voice replied, "Mom~ we won’t eat~~"
Mrs. Xiao: "..."
Two troublemakers.
Alright then.
Even if the couple doesn’t eat, others still need to eat.
Bai Zhenzhu watched this lively family, feeling envious in her heart.
What a pity, she and Ding had no children, otherwise...
"Old lady," Mrs. Xiao saw Bai Zhenzhu standing at the door, "The al’s ready, co and have so."
"No need, I..."
"Co on, we live together and see each other often. Besides, you’ve helped take care of the kids many tis, so why not eat with us?"
With that, Mrs. Xiao dragged Bai Zhenzhu to the table, leaving no room for refusal. "Wait here, I’ll call our old man and your uncle."
"Shilan, you..."
Mrs. Xiao spoke and acted swiftly.
Before Bai Zhenzhu could finish her sentence, Mrs. Xiao had disappeared from view.
Bai Zhenzhu: "..."
This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair truly are alike.
No wonder they get along so well.
...
Once out of the house, Xiao Chenye and Wen Ran walked hand in hand down the road.
Even without speaking, feeling each other’s warmth was a rare leisure.
After having breakfast at a street stall, they faced a quite awkward problem.
They had nowhere to go.
"How about," Xiao Chenye suggested, "we visit your school?"
Although Wen Ran didn’t quite understand why the school would be interesting to visit,
she agreed without hesitation, "Sure!"
As the two walked towards the school, Wen Ran beca excited, "I’ll let you experience our cafeteria."
Forgive Wen Ran for being very mundane.
All she could think about was food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
Speaking of the cafeteria, Wen Ran thought of Hongguo. Considering this poor kid still lived on campus, she turned around and ordered four dishes and a soup from a small restaurant.
It was now 10:30.
By the ti the food was ready and they strolled to the school, it would be 11:30, just in ti to catch Hongguo after school with so hot food.
"By the way," Wen Ran asked Xiao Chenye, "What about the house?"
"It’s a bit far from here."
"Oh, oh, oh."
Well, originally she thought they could kill ti by looking at houses until the food was ready.
But now, that’s off the table.
"Were you two just talking about a house?"
A sudden voice startled Wen Ran.
She shuddered, "Goodness, you ca out of nowhere!"
Behind them stood a young man.
He adjusted his thick glasses and pointed expressionlessly at the single dish, soup, and half bowl of rice on the table.
Plainly, "If I’m not mistaken, you seem to have co after ."
Then he paused, sowhat accusing, "Didn’t you see ? Besides, you were talking so loudly, it was hard not to hear!"
Wen Ran: "?"
She was a bit bewildered; this person ca before her?
It was astonishing; she hadn’t noticed him, his presence was almost too faint.
She awkwardly apologized, "Sorry, we really didn’t notice."
The young man with glasses took a deep breath, "It’s alright."
After all, similar situations had happened many tis before, "So, you were looking to buy a house?"
This question was interesting.
Wen Ran and Xiao Chenye exchanged a glance and reached a consensus.
"Yes, we want to buy a house."
"I have a place," the young man with glasses said more seriously, putting down his chopsticks and turning to discuss with Wen Ran and Xiao Chenye, "Are you interested in having a look?"
"Why don’t you first tell us about the house’s background, location, size, and ideal price range?"
Young Man with Glasses: "A friend of mine and his family are going abroad and need to sell five or six properties, ranging from big to small, close to far."
As for the price..."
He paused briefly and sincerely said, "They want to leave the country soon, so the price is definitely reasonable."
Wen Ran: "!!!"
What is this?!
Finding sothing effortlessly that you sought without success elsewhere.
She grasped the young man’s hand earnestly, "To be honest, we really want to buy a house.
Moreover, we have so spare cash, and as long as the price is right, we’ll take all five or six properties."
Finding properties is difficult now, and in a while.
When young intellectuals fully return to the city, properties will be even harder to find.
Moreover, over ti, housing prices will keep rising.
Turning money into property sooner is like making money.
Spare cash?
The young man with glasses was dumbfounded.
Buying five or six properties in one go, and you call this spare cash?
He must have eaten too much, muddling his brain, and his ears malfunctioned too.
Xiao Chenye beside them: "?"
Seriously, you two are even holding hands?
He silently pulled away Wen Ran’s hand, holding it in his own.
Feeling a bit frustrated, he thought, if you’re going to talk, why involve handholding?
Wen Ran didn’t notice his little mood and just excitedly said, "Hey, can we exchange contact information? When would be convenient to see the properties?"
"Well, I can’t today. I have so errands later,"
The young man with glasses contemplated for a mont, "Tomorrow then?"
He looked at Wen Ran, probing, "If you’re free tomorrow, let’s go then. However, the conditions of the houses vary, and so are already occupied."
Wen Ran understood, "I get what you an."
"Alright."
After exchanging contact details, Wen Ran left with the packed food and headed to Jing University.
"Is this reliable?"
"I don’t know," Wen Ran said matter-of-factly, "I just happened to run into him, and why not take the chance?
When the ti cos to hand over the money and transfer the na, we’ll definitely go to the housing managent authority. I just don’t believe he can collude with the housing authority to scam us."
Indeed.
Xiao Chenye took a deep breath, "Alright, then let’s go check it out, and if it’s feasible, buy all the properties he has."
"Uh-huh!"
"Wen Ran?"
Upon hearing the voice, Wen Ran was startled and turned to see Luo Wei.
She exclaid in surprise, "Oh, it’s Professor Luo, what a coincidence running into you here."
"Not a coincidence," Luo Wei smiled, "I’ve been waiting for you for quite so ti; don’t forget about your history class."
Wen Ran: "..."
A devil?
Who ambushes students to get them to class?
