NO.49 Renting a room
update icon Updated at 2025/2/7 5:10:12

October 17th.

Xu Fang didn't have any big requirements for renting an apartment, just close to the school.

According to the Baido map, Xu Fang came to "Blue Sky Apartment".

4th floor.

The renter was a middle-aged woman in her 50s, with sagging skin, slightly fat, orange curly hair, bright lipstick on her lips, and a strange perfume smell.

Looking at the room, it was not large, about 20 square feet, with a window and a shady backdrop.

Although it was simply decorated, Xu Fang could see some signs of remodeling.

The woman said that because the room was too big, a wall was built in the middle three months ago, thus creating two rooms. The inner room has a toilet and a separate bathroom. The outside room has nothing. But if you want to use the toilet, you can go to the public bathroom on this floor.

Xu Fang wanted to rent the inside room because he is a quiet person, but unfortunately it was already rented by a office worker.

The thought of someone coming in and out of his room every morning or night gave Xu Fang headache. Besides, the security of his belongings is not guaranteed. But if the office worker was a nice person, it would be fine.

Xu Fang thought about it for a while and decided to get in touch with him first to see how he was before making a decision.

At this moment, the phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Xu Fang?"

It sounded like Xiaoming.

"Yeah."

"Where are you staying?"

"I'm looking for a place, but I haven't found a suitable one yet ......"

"Great, you really want to rent a room!"

"What do you want?" Xu Fang asked.

"Let's live together ...... Well, I don't mean that, I mean I want to rent a room too, so we can be companions ......"

Luo Xiaoming wanted to move out of the dormitory, Xu Fang was not surprised. In fact, once Xiaoming's identity was exposed, it would be very troublesome, it was only a matter of time before he moved out, but why did he have to find him?

Xu Fang wanted to refuse for a moment, but he couldn't think of a reason.

"Nah, where are you now?" Xiaoming asked.

Xu Fang hesitated for a moment, but still said where he was now.

......

"Has little brother made your decision yet?" Seeing that Xu Fang finished the phone call, the middle-aged woman smiled and came next to Xu Fang: "You are also a student, you can't find such a cheap place so close to the university.

Xu Fang laughed bitterly in his heart and said, "I have a classmate who also wants to rent a room."

The middle-aged woman was stunned, "You two want to share a room? This is not possible, there are rules above, only one person can rent."

(So you just put an extra wall inside?)

Xu Fang spat in his heart.

The middle-aged woman also realized what was going on and lost her good looks.

**

Luo Xiaoming gently tossed her hair behind her ear, looking out the window at the receding scenery, her mood suddenly changed for the better.

Sitting in the cab, listening to the song on the headphones, if not for the driver master beside her, she would be humming out loud.

(This Xu Fang finally got enlightened, he can't stand the bad environment of the dormitory either? Sure enough, going out to live is the best choice! However, why is it so hasty? It seems to have changed like a person, suddenly want to move out ...... at least say it in advance.

The destination is not far, a few minutes' drive. Paid, Xiaoming got off the car, across the road, a glance at a tall building. There was a young man in a black shirt standing at the door, looking around, not having spotted her yet.

"Hey, Xu Fang!" Luo Xiaoming waved at him and crossed the sidewalk.

Seeing Xiaoming running over, Xu Fang couldn't help but frown.

(You should have looked at the road instead.)

Xu Fang was aware that Xiaoming had no sense of safety at all, no wonder he fell down from the sixth floor that time. But if so, why is she still so timid?

"Hey, why the sad face, lost your wallet?"

"You came pretty fast." Xu Fang said a nonsense.

"Of course." Xiaoming's eyes crossed behind Xu Fang and looked, "Blue Sky Apartments? Are you going to rent a room here? It looks too out of style, doesn't it?"

The apartment was quite old and part of the outside walls were "molted", so it didn't look good on the outside.

"Why don't we rent a villa for fun, a private villa ......"

"No!" Xu Fang refused without even thinking about it.

"It's okay, I'll pay for it, it's not expensive for me. ......"

"It's not a matter of money." Xu Fang said helplessly, "All the villas in K City are near the suburbs, it takes more than 40 minutes to get a taxi from here without traffic, do you want to get up 40 minutes earlier?"

(And there's a feeling that I am going to be a toy boy.)

"That's true." Xiaoming nodded in a daze, and then fell into a pensive state: "What's a good place to go around here?"

"And, I'm just going to be here. As for where you want to rent, it has nothing to do with me, I can't accompany you ......"

Xu Fang was tugged, the owner of the hand that tugged him obviously had a reluctant look, afraid that Xu Fang was running away.

"No, I want you to live with me!"

"That's not good."

Xu Fang glanced at Xiaoming's exquisite side face, some words wanted to say but stopped, Xu Fang was afraid to say it to hurt Xiaoming. If you are timid, you can overcome it, otherwise how can you face loneliness when you go into society?

And there is an unknown hidden danger.

"I take you as a friend, friend ...... together can also look out for each other, right." Xiaoming said with a smile.

"That's right ...... however, it might be dangerous around me."

"Why?" Xiaoming tilted his head in confusion.

"You don't understand."

"Just living off-campus well, what danger can there be, it's not good to be so timid!"

"......"

"Then it's settled, I'll go wherever you go!"

"Well, if something happens to you, I won't care about you, and ...... can only let one person live there now."

Xu Fang said the information he got in the blue sky apartment.

Xiaoming listened to the dissatisfied pursed his lips, humming: "This is good to do, let you that next door to move out on it."

What happened next was that Xu Fang and Luo Xiaoming approached the middle-aged woman, then asked for the phone number of the office worker next door and talked to him about it. The office worker didn't like it when he heard about it. He rented a place for 1500 a month, has lived for more than a month, to let him move out, how could he agree?

Xiaoming directly offered 10,000.

The office worker was shocked for a moment, then hesitated.

20,000!

Xu Fang advised Xiaoming, but let's forget it ......

Office man was busy agreeing at this time, but also afraid of Xiaoming's regret, he gave the company a leave of absence and rushed back directly.

So, the procedure was done smoothly. Office man returned the house and paid the default fee (actually paid by Xiaoming).

At noon, Xu Fang and Xiaoming signed the contract.

Xu Fang couldn't help but sigh, but he also stopped Xiaoming's "spreading money", it's enough, there's no need to give money to the landlord ......

Xu Fang didn't let Xiaoming pay for him. Xu Fang did not ask Xiaoming to pay for him, although it was nothing for Xiaoming.

Xiaoming treats him as a friend, and he does the same. He doesn't want to make the relationship between friends deteriorate because of money. Maybe Xiaoming doesn't think about it so much, but Xu Fang will feel a problem in his heart.

Sometimes, Xu Fang will secretly spit on himself if he is too straightforward, isn't this kind of guy who is stupid and has a lot of money the one who should be well befriended? But why did he not want to do so? Maybe it's the vague guilt and gratitude in his heart.

He knows what Xiaoming doesn't know, and he remembers what Xiaoming has forgotten. The demon world, Xu Fang will not forget. That's why he didn't avoid contact with Xiaoming, right? In the past, he would definitely be alone, looking for a quiet world of his own.

......

After receiving the transfer of 20,000, office man immediately packed his luggage and left, overjoyed, this kind of good thing, he has never met one in his life.

The middle-aged landlady who also received the benefit was also happy. Obviously, Xiaoming is not a poor master, and when talking to Xiaoming, the landlord's attitude is much kinder. However, her gaze towards Xu Fang was a bit odd, as if she took Xu Fang as a "toy boy".

No wonder, Luo Xiaoming looks like a rich daughter of a certain plutocrat, with a large amount of money, fair skin and beautiful appearance. Just a brand-name men's clothing is a bit strange, probably the personal preferences of young people.

Xu Fang, on the other hand, looks ordinary and unattractive. Two people who are not in the same class, how can they be an equal relationship.
