The phone in the pocket of the jacket kept vibrating. Ning Chu's hand went into his pocket and he held the phone tightly, afraid that the vibration would attract Zhang Shaoqing's attention.
Luckily, he turned off the ringtone in time.
Otherwise, he would be exposed immediately...
A moment later, Zhang Shaoqing put down the
phone and muttered, “It's not connecting? Could something have happened on the way?”
"She told me she would be at the dormitory around ten o'clock. Maybe she fell asleep in the car and didn't notice?”
“I see...“ He turned his head to look at Ning Chu, looked at the very familiar eyebrows, scratched his head, and said, ‘You want to rent a room? How big?’
”Can you help?“
Zhang Shaoqing patted his chest with a big-headed attitude: ‘Nonsense! For the sake of my roommate's sexual happiness! Leave it to me!’
”Sexual happiness...”
Ning Chu's mouth twitched at the corner, obviously this guy mistakenly thought Wen Yang was going to live with his girlfriend.
If she went through Zhang Shaoqing to help find a place to rent, then the risk of her being exposed in the future would be a bit higher...
But it was better than continuing to live in the dormitory, or staying in those hotels with frequent personnel turnover.
“Something cheaper... I'll be happy with anything, as long as it's safe,” Wen Yang was overjoyed and quickly made his request.
"Okay, I'll give it a call,”
Zhang Shaoqing nodded, took out his phone and dialed his friend's number, while continuing to Wen Yang, “Let me handle the rental, and let's go have a barbecue while we're at it?”
”...
Wen Yang was a bit embarrassed and couldn't think of an excuse to refuse.
After all, Ning Chu couldn't eat barbecue with a mask on, and she couldn't show her face, so this was a bit difficult. Ning Chu, however, quickly responded, continuing in her delicate clip-like voice, ”Shaoqing...brother, next time, I don't even have a place to stay tonight... Next time I'll treat you.“
”That's fine.“ Zhang Shaoqing's phone rang. He paced around, asking his friend about rental housing. A moment later, he hung up, grinning, ‘I actually found something, but it's a bit far away.’
”How far is it from our school?“ Wen Yang asked.
”It's a little over half an hour on foot. It's a private house, 700 yuan per month, one room, one living room. Shall I drive you there and take a look?”
It is a bit far, but the price is still quite cheap, and the safety of a private house is better than a hotel.
If it is a one-bedroom private house near the school, it usually costs around one thousand yuan.
Ning Chu and Wen Yang exchanged glances and nodded in agreement to go and see the room first.
“I'll go back to the dormitory first, I'm not going to join the fun,” Wang Jie said.
"Okay, you go back first,”
Getting into Zhang Shaoqing's car, Ning Chu turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, and pulled his mask a little uneasily to let some air in.
It was autumn and winter, and the temperature difference between morning and night was large, so the flu was frequent. It was quite normal to wear a mask.
“Hey, little sister-in-law!” Zhang Shaoqing asked while driving, “Why do you always wear a mask? Take it off and let's see what you look like.”
“I have a cold...”
“She's a little shy,”
Ning Chu and Wen Yang answered at the same time.
“Oh~“ Zhang Shaoqing teased playfully, ‘Wen Yang, you like my sister-in-law not because she looks like Ning Chu, do you? Look at those eyes, they're almost identical.’
”It's my sister-in-law,” Wen Yang couldn't hold back anymore and hurriedly explained, ”I didn't even notice that their eyes look alike.”
Ning Chu opened her mouth, but then closed it again helplessly.
She was still considering whether to use the identity of “Ning Chu's cousin” to fool around, but she always felt that Zhang Shaoqing was not that stupid.
Besides, she had pretended not to know who Ning Chu was before.
They chatted a little on the way, and after walking for more than half an hour, they arrived in about ten minutes by car.
This is a village, although it is a bit remote, but the price is much cheaper. There is a bus stop next to it, and students from the nearby universities like to rent here.
The rental house is a small three-story building. The front door on the first floor has an electronic lock. The landlord lives on the first floor, and the second and third floors are divided into several one-bedroom rooms for rent.
Although it is said to be a one-bedroom apartment, it is actually a large bedroom with a sofa and TV by the bed, which is used as the living room area.
The bathroom is not big, but it is barely functional.
The facilities are complete and the decoration is not bad. There are only four tenants on the first floor, which is much better than a small hotel with dozens of rooms on that floor.
“What do you think? I feel pretty good about it.“
Ning Chu took Wen Yang by the ear and whispered, ‘It's a bit far from school, but there are buses, and if you leave at 7:30 every day, you should be able to make it to class.’
”As long as you're satisfied.“
”Then this is it!”
Wen Yang and Zhang Shaoqing began to bargain with the landlord, from the monthly rent to the amount of the deposit, and then to the details of the contract. The two men, one of whom was poor and the other of whom was obsessed with petty money, managed to cut the rent of 700 yuan by another 50.
“Okay, the rent is 650 yuan, the internet fee is an additional 50 yuan per month, and the cleaning fee is also 50 yuan when you check out. The deposit is one month.” Then the landlord made up the difference from somewhere else, “If there are no problems with the contract, just sign it?”
”...
Having solved Ning Chu's accommodation problem, Wen Yang was in a good mood and hooked Zhang Shaoqing's shoulder, promising, “Next time I'll buy you dinner.”

“No, I just helped out.” Zhang Shaoqing nudged him in the chest with his elbow, looked at the girl who had already started cleaning up, smiled lewdly, and whispered, “Tonight, do your best to win her over! Don't let your buddy down.”
"This...”
Although he didn't have much experience with relationships, Zhang Shaoqing had a lot of theoretical knowledge: “Just tell her that the bus is out of service and I've driven to the city. She won't let you walk half an hour back to school, will she?
”
"And girls, when they sleep in an unfamiliar place for the first night, they're bound to be scared. Seeing that you won't leave, they'll give in half-heartedly.”
“Stop talking, man, that's all I'll do to help you!"
Zhang Shaoqing patted Wen Yang on the shoulder and left without hesitation.
To be honest, Wen Yang was a little moved.
In the past, when they were still in the ambiguous period, he felt very guilty every time he did something to Ning Chu, but now they were boyfriend and girlfriend.
Isn't it normal to go to the mat!
But Ning Chu, who was a charm, seemed to have said that they had to wait until after marriage...
He still doesn't understand why the demon's family has such conservative views.
Ning Chu tidied up the room a little, stretched, sat at the end of the bed, looked up, and saw Wen Yang standing in front of the TV cabinet: “What are you standing there for? There's a sofa to sit on, isn't there?”
She yawned, lay down on the bed, looked at the slightly faded ceiling, and comfortably stretched, experiencing the bed in the rented room.
It's okay, it's quite soft.
Finally, she could leave the men's dormitory. She didn't need to be on her guard all day for fear of being discovered by her roommates, or worry about accidentally developing a lesbian relationship.
As soon as she lay down, Ning Chu felt a little sleepy. She didn't bother to buy any household items, and there were no sheets or blankets on the bed. She was prepared to just get by for the night.
“I'm going to sleep. When are you going back to the dormitory?”
“Er...it's so late, the bus has stopped running.”
"Where's Shaoqing?”
“He left a while ago."
Ning Chu froze for a moment, then turned her head to look at Wen Yang, who was sitting upright on the sofa.
You really think I don't know what you're thinking!
I've never done it before, but I was a man once!
Pretending to know nothing, she blinked her alluring peach eyes in confusion and asked with distress, ‘So what do we do?’
Wen Yang looked at her expectantly, ”Why don't I just stay here tonight? It's a big place, I can sleep on the floor.”
“I can also help you clean up the room and buy you some daily necessities.“
Seeing his eager expression, Ning Xin secretly smiled, but hesitated, ‘But...’
”I promise I won't do anything to you!“
”Swear.“
”I swear!”
