Meng Xiaozhi Sugar Core

I was amused by her: "Isn't it? Haven't we been together for several years? We have been together for a long time, and we can be considered an old married couple! Besides, renting a house is almost the same as buying one!"

"Yes, yes, my wife is right! It's up to you, you can rent wherever you want!"

We were chatting casually until we were attracted by a note posted in front of the security door at the stairs.

"House for rent, phone number 135xxxxxxx, Mr. Zhao." Tang Xin read aloud.

"There actually is one!" I hugged Tang Xin happily.

“Call now!!”

……

Half an hour later, a man in a white shirt and black pants drove a Volkswagen downstairs. He wore a pair of frameless glasses, had shiny hair and a mustache. When he got out of the car and saw us, he was slightly surprised.

"You guys called me?" he said as he took out the key from his waist.

"Yeah." I nodded, "I called."

"Want to rent a house?"

"Yes."

"Okay, come up and take a look." He opened the iron gate downstairs and motioned for us to follow.

The room was on the fourth floor, there was no elevator, but fortunately the stairs were fairly flat, so it wasn't too tiring to follow him to the door. He turned the key a few times, and with a click, the heavy security door was closed. A smell of wooden furniture greeted him. Compared to the house He Qianning rented, it was much bigger, with two bedrooms and two living rooms, about 80 square meters. The decoration was similar, not new but not very old either, and generally clean except for some dust.

"They haven't come to clean the house for a month or so. If you want to rent it, you can hire a cleaner to clean it. It won't cost much. All the furniture can be used normally now. Are you satisfied with it?" He turned around and asked us.

Tang Xin didn't answer immediately, "Can we have another look?"

"no problem."

Tang Xin must not have as much experience as I do in renting a house. After all, I lived outside for a long time in my previous life and rented many houses. But to be honest, none of them seemed as spacious as this one. I remember when I first went to Shanghai, I shared a room with four rough guys. Thinking of it was a dark history, I quickly shook my head to get rid of the terrible things in my mind, followed Tang Xin's footsteps, and looked around.

Chapter 88: The Chain Reaction of Renting a House

The room has good lighting and is bright and airy. The screens are a bit old, and there are even a few holes in the screens in the living room, but fortunately the glass windows are still intact and can be closed tightly. The white curtains are also a bit yellowed, which are all marks of time.

There is a height ruler painted on the white wall of the living room near the corridor, with colorful marks on it.

Seeing me stop and observe, Mr. Zhao came over and said, "Ah, this is my son's height record. It's not very good."

I looked at my height and felt a little sad. I am only 1.8 meters tall...

Mr. Zhao looked at me and thought he might have misunderstood me. “It’s okay. If you really think it doesn’t look good, I can ask the painter to clean it for you.”

"Oh, it's okay." I waved my hand.

"Xiao Meng, come to the bathroom?" Tang Xin called me.

The bathroom in the room was not very big, and the washbasin took up half of the space. There were two sinks on it for two people to wash together. There was also a shower room on the side, and in the middle was a toilet that was a bit yellow. It looked a bit old, but the floor and tiles were quite clean. It was obvious that Mr. Zhao's family also loved cleanliness.

"Is it ok?" Tang Xin turned around and asked me, "Although there is no bathtub, the shower is enough. The floor is also clean."

"I think it's good." I nodded in agreement.

"Have you seen the bedroom? There's a big bed, big enough for the two of us to unlock..." Tang Xin was halfway through her words when I immediately covered her mouth. I turned to Mr. Zhao and said, "Boss, how much is it per month?"

"Has it been decided?" Mr. Zhao was a little surprised.

"Well, the room is pretty good. We are also satisfied with the environment." Xiaoling nodded.

"How about 2500 yuan a month?" Boss Zhao said a number.

I frowned when I heard this. It was too expensive. I couldn't afford it at all. "Can it be cheaper?"

"Little sister, I've already given you a discount since you two are girls. If it was a boy from your school who came to rent it, I really wouldn't want to rent it out."

"How about 2300?" I said through gritted teeth.

"Then it's 2300, but you must take good care of the room. I need a deposit of 2300 a month, and the deposit will be deducted if there is any damage." Boss Zhao thought for a while and agreed.

Tang Xin and I smiled at each other, feeling relieved. It seemed that renting a house was much simpler than I expected.

After signing the contract and paying the money, Boss Zhao gave us the keys and left. Tang Xin and I stayed because it was still early and planned to do some simple cleaning.

"We finally live together!" As soon as Mr. Zhao left, Tang Xin flew over, hugged me and said.

"Yeah. It's the first step towards my dream." I held the beauty in my arms, and gradually my heart became distracted.

"2300 a month is still pretty cheap."

"I can't let you bear it alone. I will pay half as well."

"Eh? Does Xiaomeng have that much money?" Tang Xin's eyes revealed a trace of worry, "Actually, you don't have to work so hard, this money..."

I shook my head and interrupted her: "Tang Xin, you understand me. Although we are no longer separate, I still hope to get along with you on an equal footing. If I continue to eat your gigolo, I will not be able to live with my conscience."

"You're still the same." Tang Xin sighed and pushed me down on the sofa.

"What are you doing?" The suddenness made me panic a little, "Wait, it's a little dirty."

"Since you want to pay the rent, I have to charge interest as well?" Tang Xin's eyes became blurred.

"Wait... um... um..."

……

two thousand years later.

"What if the landlord comes back?" I looked at Tang Xin with some resentment, "We agreed to clean the house, but now it's too late. It's almost time for dinner."

Tang Xin put on her clothes and licked her rosy lips, and whispered in my ear: "Who made you so delicious?"

"Ahhh, really. I need to get dressed." I pushed her away. If she kept talking so seductively, I would start to react again.

"I'll watch you get dressed." Tang Xin walked to the side, crossed her legs and looked at me.

"..."

We closed the windows, locked the door, and walked out of our rented house hand in hand.

"How much living expenses does your aunt give you every month?" Tang Xin asked me suddenly.

"It's fifteen hundred dollars now."

"You gave me more than a thousand yuan for rent, so I only have a few hundred yuan left for food?" Tang Xin was worried.

"It's okay. I spent very little in the past few months. I still have a thousand bucks left, which should be enough to last me until I find a part-time job or something."

"part time?"

"Yes, working part-time or doing a temporary part-time job outside is fine. I can do either and earn a lot of money." I nodded.

Tang Xin pouted: "You don't have to work so hard. This way you'll have even less time to spend with me on weekends."

"Don't worry! I will leave enough time for you." I reached out and rubbed Tang Xin's face, telling her not to worry.

The next day, in the English class classroom.

After class, I looked at the two forms in front of me and felt a little worried. One was an application for off-campus accommodation, and the other was an application for work-study. The application for off-campus accommodation was quite simple, just fill in the address, parent's opinion, emergency contact information, etc. But the other work-study application was more troublesome. According to the school, this was a part-time job open to students living in poverty to subsidize students with poor financial conditions.

Among them, the family's economic income and the local community's certification must be stated. This obviously makes it difficult for me. First of all, let's not talk about the family's economic income. Just the monthly salary of my aunt in the past few years is definitely not enough. Secondly, the community's certification, are you disgusted that people can't tell what kind of car the RR in the family is?

"Hey, class beauty, what are you worried about?" Zhu Jing suddenly appeared in front of me and sat in an empty seat beside me.

"Nothing." I quietly put the work-study form under the off-campus accommodation application form.

"Let me see?" Without waiting for my reaction, she reached out and took two pieces of paper from my desk.

“Apply for off-campus accommodation? Work-study program?!” Her mouth opened as big as a duck egg.

I frowned. I really hate this kind of behavior. Not only did she take it without my consent, but she also said it out loud. Was she disgusted that my classmates didn't know what I wanted to do? I didn't even know why she did this.

"Give it back to me!" I grabbed the form from her hand. But it was too late, as the students around me had already started talking to each other.

"Are you going to move out?" She continued to ask loudly, disapprovingly.

I haven’t had the energy to write recently...

Chapter 89 Contradiction

Several classmates around me also turned their heads and looked at me curiously.

"Yes." I admitted reluctantly with a sigh.

"Oh, so you're working and studying, and why do you live outside?" Zhu Jing asked with a smile, squinting her eyes.

"Why are you asking so many questions?" I frowned and didn't want to reply too much.

"Hey, have you found a partner? Which boy is so lucky to date our school beauty?" Zhu Jing didn't mind making things worse and started to speculate on his own.

"No, please don't talk nonsense." I was angry.

"Oh, are you angry? It must cost you a lot of money to live outside, and you have to work part-time to pay for your studies. What are you doing? Wasting money?" Zhu Jing was obviously here to cause trouble, but why did she target me? I didn't provoke her.

"Hey, are you meddling in other people's business?" Shu Ying also saw the situation here, walked over and said to Zhu Jing.

"Am I meddling in other people's business? There aren't many places for work-study programs, and they are meant for students from poor families. How can she have the nerve to apply for one when she's renting a house outside?" Zhu Jing said with a sneer.

"You..." Shu Ying was speechless. What Zhu Jing said was indeed true.

"Just because I have the form doesn't mean I can fill it out." Naturally, I would not show weakness. Although I didn't know why he was arguing with me, I was not someone who could be bullied.

"Oh, then you really have a lot of free time. Come to think of it, you're renting a house outside just to make money, right?" She laughed maliciously.

"What do you mean?" I frowned.

"What do you mean? How should I know what you want to do? Well, it's good to be good-looking. Just lie down on the bed, stretch your legs, and men's money will rain down on you."

"Zhu Jing! Watch your words!" Shu Ying knocked on the table and shouted angrily.

"There is no evidence. If you slander me like this, I will tell the counselor." I pulled Shu Ying over and said with a gloomy face. This girl almost beat me up when she saw me being bullied. With her physique, I was worried that she would be expelled if she punched me.

"Ha, you're so old and you're still going to tell the teacher?" She held her belly and laughed, "Evidence? How could we not know that you don't come back to the dormitory every night? Do you need me to help you check the records of your hotel stays outside the school?"

"You..." My face turned pale instantly, cold sweat broke out from my back, the thing I was most worried about finally happened. I had gone too far with Tang Xin before, going out for several days a week, secretly checking into a hotel, was it still seen by someone with ulterior motives? Tang Xin must not be implicated in this matter.

"What's wrong? Where did your momentum go? I was right. Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect it!" She glanced at me with contempt, "A girl who looks pure and beautiful is actually such a scumbag."
