July in Longmen seems to be hotter than in Casimir. Maybe it’s because of the geographical location. Talina doesn’t know either.

In short, she was almost overwhelmed by the heat after walking all the way from the Penguin Logistics dormitory. If Muir Seth hadn't said he had found a house, she wouldn't have stepped out of the room today.

"Okay, I missed you~"

Seeing that Muirseth was still "crying", Talina had no choice but to comfort her against her will and asked her: "Didn't you say you found a house? Go over and take a look! If it's suitable, then decide on it. Don't let them down."

"Hehe~ I knew you were the best!"

After hearing what Talina said, Muerses fell silent in an instant and changed his expression in the blink of an eye.

Even though she had seen this kind of face-changing skill before, Talina still couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"Well, you don't have to worry about the house. The location I found is absolutely perfect! In the city center! Low rent! The landlord is a woman! And a civil servant! She definitely won't bother us!"

Rubbing his hands excitedly, Muirseth sat next to Talina.

"Why do I feel like you have bad intentions?"

Looking at Muirseth's strange look, Talina shook her head speechlessly.

If she didn't know what kind of person the other person was, she would have thought she was a female pervert.

How could a good director of the ecology department look so out of tune?

"Huh! Am I that kind of person?!"

With his arms folded across his chest, Muirseth pouted: "Am I the kind of person you think is out of tune and only knows how to have fun all day long?"

"Isn't it?"

"I!"

Muirseth was inexplicably rebuked and wanted to refute but couldn't find a suitable reason.

It seemed like she had never been in front of Talina?

Well...

Muirseth was pouting, angry but unable to vent it, so he had to sit in a chair and sulk by himself.

"Okay~ I apologize!"

Seeing that Muerses's wife (who looked like a real person) was in a bad mood, Talina coaxed her skillfully, just like she was taking care of a little kid.

She had experienced this once or twice during her time in the Rhine, so she was very skilled at dealing with Muirseth's intermittent temper tantrums.

As expected, with Talina's comfort, Muirseth gradually let go of what had just happened.

"I'll forgive you this time!"

Muirseth said this angrily, with her cheeks puffed up. Now she looked more like a pufferfish than an elf.

But despite her temper, Muirseth still remembered the purpose of her visit. She took a plastic bag from a stool on the other side and took out a large stack of printed...

Missing person notice?

Looking at the four big words at the beginning of the line, Talina's mind suddenly froze.

Didn't she remember that Muirseth came to discuss sharing a house with her?

Why did it get dragged into other matters?

Seeing Talina's reaction, Muirseth scratched his head awkwardly: "Hehe~ Didn't I say before that the landlord is a civil servant? That's why she doesn't get off work until six in the evening. I made an appointment to meet at eight, so..."

Seeing Talina about to explode, Muirseth quickly added, "But we can go find the person first! Look! I've already printed out the missing person notice! Wouldn't it be a waste if I don't post it today?!"

"There's still some time before the seminar. I can also take you to those pharmaceutical companies to see if there are any clues!"

Muirseth finished his words in one breath, not daring to hide anything, for fear of being a step late.

Fortunately, Talina still had her sanity and was not consumed by the hot weather. After some thought, she nodded and agreed to Muirseth.

.........Posting flyers.........

After a busy day, Talina finally finished the work at hand with Muirseth and posted the missing person notices where they should be.

There are even one or two pictures posted in places where they shouldn't be.

Standing next to Muirseth, Talina held his arm as a support for herself.

The slender white thighs were exposed, trembling at a frequency visible to the naked eye.

After running around in Longmen's core city for a whole day, Talina felt like her bones were about to fall apart.

In contrast, Muirseth stood beside Talina with a bright look on his face. He did not look tired at all, and even his clothes were neatly arranged. Compared with Talina, he was completely different from the other two.

"Next time you ask me to go out... can you please choose a time when the weather is better..."

Wiping the dried sweat from her forehead with her hand, Talina reached out and pulled at her collar, letting out all the heat inside.

After walking all day, she felt sticky all over, as if she had fallen into a sugar jar, and she wanted to wash herself with water over and over again.

But there was no way. The time for the meeting with the landlord was almost up, so Talina could only hold on and wait until the discussion was over before going back.

"Where's the landlord you were talking about? Why aren't any lights on?"

Looking at the dark house in front of her, Talina pinched the soft flesh on Muirseth's waist.

"Hiss! This shouldn't be the time? Wasn't this the time I made the appointment for?"

Talina was confused, and Muirseth was even more confused than her. Just as the two were about to leave, a cold voice came.

"Sorry! I worked overtime and it took a while."

Exhausted, Chen drooped his body, appearing from the corner as if he had no bones.

Volume 5: Chapter 21: The So-called Reward

"You... know each other?"

Sitting in the living room, Muirseth looked at Talina and Chen who were sitting opposite each other, his small eyes filled with great doubts.

Can't it be such a coincidence?

I just randomly picked a location on the house-rental app, and happened to choose someone Talina knew?

And looking at the two of them...it seems like they are more than just acquaintances?

Muirseth suddenly felt a little wary, wary of the blue-haired dragon girl, because she was chatting and laughing with her designated partner!

"About the same. There were some misunderstandings when I first came to Longmen, but we met a few more times afterwards, so we've become a little more familiar with each other."

After finishing the pleasant chat with Chen, Talina smiled at Muirseth.

She was still thinking about how to contact this difficult-to-approach inspector, but Muirseth sent her directly to someone else's house.

No wonder she said she has her own way...

Is this also part of your plan?! Muir Seth!

The corners of her mouth twitched twice, and Muirseth understood the message conveyed in Talina's eyes. If Chen had not been there, she really wanted to say something back.

This was an accident...

"Do you have any other requests?"

After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Chen, who was exhausted, asked Muirseth and Talina who were "discussing".

"No, no, no! No, we are very satisfied with the conditions!"

Before Muirseth could answer, Talina agreed first.

She couldn't be more pleased with this arrangement!

The rent is low, there is no one to disturb you, and you can get close to the suspected target, Sir Chen!

more importantly...

Shared bathroom!!!

Looking at the dim room with the half-open door in the distance, Ertalinna's mood could not be suppressed and became excited.

As long as she keeps squatting there diligently, why would she be afraid of not seeing the inspector's butt?!

"Okay, I'll draw up a contract tomorrow and we can discuss it then."

Seeing that Talina agreed so readily, Chen didn't waste any words and directly finalized the contract.

Chen was actually quite happy about meeting an acquaintance.

She spent all her savings to buy this house two years ago, but she misjudged her needs at the time, so the house has been vacant ever since.

Instead of leaving it idle, it would be better to rent it out to earn some pocket money, and at the same time add some popularity to the house so that it doesn't look like a haunted house.

"Yes! I leave everything to you, Mr. Chen! I trust you!"

Talina nodded and smiled.

Hearing this, Chen Waner smiled, his expression less fierce and softer. "Why? You trust me so much?"

The trust that Talina exuded made Chen feel at ease, and at the same time, he also improved his impression of Talina in his mind.

In contrast, Muirseth's mood was not so good. She always had a bad feeling now, as if her favorite toy had been taken away.

"Hmm..."

After mumbling a few complaints, Muirseth gave up.

She believed in herself and believed that she could grasp Tarina's heart and get everything from her.

Everything now is just a small setback, nothing can stop her from moving forward!

"Then we'll take our leave first, Mr. Chen, see you tomorrow."

While Muirseth was cheering himself up, Chen and Talina on the other side had already discussed everything.

In fact, for two people who know each other, rent is not that important.

After all, as a senior inspector of the Longmen Guard Bureau, Chen's monthly salary is as high as five figures, not counting the additional supplements such as provident fund, just the salary.

The rent money was just a drop in the bucket in her eyes and she didn't even look at it.

What Chen cares about is actually Talina.

This girl who traveled thousands of miles to find her relatives seemed to her to be a good roommate.

She has good manners and conversation. It is easy to get along with her without any extra burden. Compared with those external things, Chen still thinks that getting along well with others is more important.

After saying goodbye to Chen, Talina took Muirseth, who was feeling depressed for some reason, and left Chen's house.

"What's wrong? Didn't we already discuss this? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Walking on the street, Talina discovered that something was wrong with Muirseth.

He usually looks cheerful, why does he seem so listless now?

"No... a little tired..."

With his lips pursed, Muirseth forced a smile, trying to get away with it.

But her clumsy trick could not be hidden from Talina at all. On the deserted street, Talina grabbed Muirseth.

"what happened?"

Feeling the pull from the palm of his hand, Muirseth stopped and looked back at Talina in confusion.

"Well, come here!"

Talina let go of Muirseth's hand, put one hand behind her back, and waved to Muirseth with the other.

Although Muirseth was confused, she still came to Talina obediently.

She wanted to see what Tarina was up to.

To her surprise, when she walked in front of Talina, Talina took two steps back as if she was afraid. This action caught Muirseth off guard.

But then Talina took a running start and accelerated towards Muirses.

With a push of her toes, Talina jumped up from the ground and crashed into Muirseth's arms.

"Eh?"

The softness in his arms made Muerses subconsciously tighten his arms, clasping Talina's slender waist and holding her tightly in his arms.

Talina put her arms around Muirseth's neck and leaned against her.

"Thank you."
