Chapter 4: Doubts

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Nan looked at Zhang Liang, who was staring at her, and said, "Xin said she doesn't need our help."

The anticipation and excitement hidden in Zhang Liang's eyes instantly cooled down, and a sullen expression gradually appeared on his face. He said, "She was just being polite to you. Can't you be more enthusiastic?"

Zhao Nan looked at Zhang Liang nervously. She did not understand why Zhang Liang had become so fierce in an instant. Zhao Nan explained softly, "Xin is a girl who won't change her mind once she makes a decision. Besides, I'm her best friend. She's definitely not pretending to be polite to me, so I naturally can't force her…"

Zhang Liang wanted to scold Zhao Nan at that moment.

After hearing from Zhao Nan that Xia Xin was moving, he was excited for a long time. He thought that he could use Zhao Nan as an excuse to help Xia Xin move and meet Xia Xin again.

Moreover, if Zhang Liang helped Xia Xin move this time, Xia Xin would owe him a favor and would definitely not continue to avoid him in the future.

But now, Zhao Nan had messed up Zhang Liang's plan. He thought, 'This brainless woman!'

Zhang Liang suppressed the frustration and anger in his heart and took a deep breath. Then, he said, "Did she say anything else? By the way, which neighborhood does she live in?"

Zhao Nan subconsciously felt that Zhang Liang was a little strange. It did not have anything to do with him with which neighborhood Xia Xin lived in now.

Seeing Zhao Nan's puzzled expression, Zhang Liang's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly explained, "Xia Xin is your best friend. In the future, when we get married, we might even invite her to be our bridesmaid. You are a careless person by nature, and Xia Xin is probably as scheming as you. You girls don't know how dangerous society is. The rental transactions in the West District are very chaotic. I'm afraid that your best friend will be cheated by a heartless agent. I can help her inquire about the security situation and average rental fees in her neighborhood..."

After Zhang Liang explained a lot, Zhao Nan completely dispelled the doubts in her heart. She still felt a little sweet in her heart. Her boyfriend actually considered her best friend's matter for her. He was really too considerate.

Before Zhang Liang could ask again, Zhao Nan told Zhang Liang the address of Xia Xin's rented house.

...

Xia Xin spent a day moving. After moving in, she stayed in the master bedroom of the rental house that night.

Gu Fan and Xia Song were very worried about Xia Xin renting a house alone. Gu Fan almost asked for a long leave from the company to live with Xia Xin. Fortunately, Xia Xin stopped her in time.

That night, Gu Fan called and chatted with Xia Xin for more than an hour. Gu Fan basically reminded Xia Xin to remember to lock the door at night, or to be careful when heating food and not to burn her hands and stuff like that.

Xia Xin smiled. If it was before, she would have felt a little impatient and thought that her mother treated her as an idiot. But now, Xia Xin felt that being able to hear her mother's nagging was the happiest thing in the world.

"Alright, it's already past ten. Are you still going to let Xin rest? Xin still has to go to the zoo to work tomorrow!" said Xia Song. Although he was also worried about Xia Xin living alone, he was still much more rational than Gu Fan and urged Gu Fan to stop nagging.

Xia Xin also hurriedly said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry. I live very near to the zoo, and the security in the neighborhood is also very good. When the holidays come next week, I'll bring you over to have a look."

Gu Fan finally hung up the phone reluctantly.

The bedroom fell silent.

Xia Xin took out a stick of incense from the box and lit it. This was a habit she had in her previous life. After her rebirth, she bought some from the Internet.

In Xia Xin's previous life, her parents died because they wanted to send Xia Xin to the zoo. This incident made Xia Xin's grandmother almost hate Xia Xin to death and was determined not to see Xia Xin again.

Xia Xin also hated herself very much. She could not sleep every night. In just over a month, she had lost more than 10 kilograms.

Later, Xia Xin's good friends were afraid that she would commit suicide, so they took her to see a psychiatrist.

After going through some psychotherapy, Xia Xin slowly walked out of the shadow of her life, but she was not as lively as before. There was no longer a bright smile on her face, and she suffered from insomnia. She had to light incense every night to sleep a little more comfortably.

Smelling the warm and delicate fragrance, Xia Xin's body and mind relaxed, and she fell asleep with a smile on her face.

Xia Xin knew she was no longer alone. Her loved ones were still by her side.

After a night without dreams, Xia Xin woke up refreshed the next day. After washing up, she rushed to the zoo.

When Xia Xin arrived at the zoo, Lu Yuan had already arranged for the staff to take Xia Xin through the entry procedures. Then, Lu Yuan gave Xia Xin a work pass and assigned her a workplace for the probation period.
