Because the house near Beijing University was located in a rather "remote" area and was small, the middle-aged uncle only quoted a price of 80,000 yuan, with the cost per square ter not even amounting to two thousand yuan!
After carefully inspecting his property deed, Zhen Yu agreed without even bargaining.
The middle-aged uncle nervously swallowed his saliva, finally revealing a hint of a smile on his face. He hesitantly said, "Pay in full, in one lump sum! Is that possible?!"
The uncle’s urgency was so apparent, even Zhen Yan could see it.
Therefore, without waiting for Zhen Yu to answer, he spoke up directly, "Yes, it’s possible!"
"Really?!" The uncle confird again.
"Really! I’ll co to you first thing tomorrow morning to handle the transfer procedures!"
"You’re coming to ?" The uncle was a bit confused. "Wasn’t it the girl who said she wanted to buy the house?"
"He’s my brother! We’re from the sa family!" Zhen Yu quickly explained.
Although the uncle couldn’t see the resemblance between the two, he still nodded and said, "Oh... All right then! Let’s et early tomorrow morning, try to be the first to get it done, shall we?"
"Sure! No problem! I’ll just wake up early!" Zhen Yan agreed heartily.
The real estate agent looked around and seeing that the buyer and seller had reached an agreent, he could only joyfully yet painfully say, "Then it’s settled! Let’s sign the contract now! Tomorrow morning, I’ll have to go with the two of you as well..."
——
Once the house purchase was settled, the three of them quickly said goodbye and left the house, fearing they would miss the last bus if they were any later.
After a shaky bus ride back to their place, Zhen Yu went straight to Zhen Yan and Han Mingyue’s room. Before Han Mingyue could even close the door, Zhen Yan began to complain!
"Little sister, the house we got today is really kind of small!"
Zhen Yu casually responded, "Hmm, it is a bit small."
"It’s my first ti seeing a floor shared by three families! Where we co from, each corridor usually has just two! And this building... it has a door in the middle! And we just had to buy the one in the middle!"
Han Mingyue, with her perceptive mind, knew that if Zhen Yan wasn’t fond of the layout, there was no way Zhen Yu would like it either.
So she pointed it out directly, "Xiao Yu, you wanted to help that person, didn’t you?"
Zhen Yu did not speak, which was as good as confirming it.
Zhen Yan had actually realized his sister’s intentions long ago, but he had even more considerations.
After Han Mingyue spoke her mind, he made his thoughts clear, "Little sister, this small house is only eighty thousand! How about tomorrow I speak with the agent, and if he has suitable housing, he’ll contact us! Let’s buy another one near Beijing University! We can find an opportunity to resell this one later if you’re not really into it!"
Such a risky thought was absolutely unacceptable!!!
Zhen Yu imdiately glared, loudly saying, "Buying another one is fine! But absolutely not sell this one!"
"Ah?!" Although Zhen Yan didn’t quite understand his sister’s train of thought, it didn’t stop him from listening to her. "... Alright then, we’ll buy if we must, and just keep this one!"
Only then did Zhen Yu nod, "That’s settled then, tell the agent tomorrow! If he has suitable housing available before we leave the capital, we’ll take it too!"
"Okay!"
With the conclusion of this topic, the room suddenly fell quiet.
Han Mingyue sat on the bed looking at Zhen Yu, while Zhen Yu was looking at Zhen Yan, and Zhen Yan’s mind was drifting into the void.
Zhen Yu pursed her lips. It was quite late, and so things could be reminded again, just to avoid delaying her brother and Han Mingyue’s rest. "You two... rember not to ntion the house near Beijing University to anyone after we get back."
"I know!" Han Mingyue replied in a second.
Zhen Yan was taken aback and then followed suit, "Yeah! Brother knows!"
"Then I’m going back to sleep. You guys should rest early too."
---
After Zhen Yan finished the procedures for the small apartnt, there was no news from the store for two consecutive days.
Zhen Yu, having nothing better to do, simply took her brother and Han Mingyue for a tour around the Imperial Palace!
It was deep winter so there weren’t many people. The three of them strolled for quite a while and even took a lot of photos. As they were leaving, Zhen Yu was suddenly struck by inspiration! Turning to her brother and Han Mingyue, she exclaid, "What would we do if, as we walked, we suddenly ti-traveled back to the Qing Dynasty?!"
She was just speaking in jest, but Han Mingyue suddenly said, "Ti travel?! Xiao Yu, isn’t the male lead in your first novel soone who traveled to a ga world?!"
"Uh, right!"
Zhen Yu was stunned by the question, having long since stopped worrying about her completed novel.
Zhen Yan, however, was utterly dumbfounded! He thought to himself: "Writing novels?! How many more things are there that little sister does that I don’t know about..."
Han Mingyue clenched her fist, "I suddenly want to write a ti-travel novel too!"
"Your second novel is about to finish too? I’ve only just written half of mine!" Zhen Yu exclaid in shock!
"Yeah! After I go back, it will be nearly completed."
After replying casually, Han Mingyue started to envision the outline of her third novel in her mind. It has to be said that the inspiration truly ca from the words Zhen Yu just said!
"...You’re not thinking of writing about ti-traveling to the Qing Dynasty, are you?"
Zhen Yu hesitantly spoke, feeling like she was about to lead Han Mingyue astray!
"Ti-travel to the Qing Dynasty?"
Zhen Yu quickly nodded!
"I won’t write about Qing Dynasty ti-travel!" Han Mingyue gazed distantly ahead, "I just thought, what if an ordinary emperor suddenly ti-traveled to a world filled with gods and demons! What would he do? From being an exalted emperor to becoming a powerless and penniless man without a ho, it must be miserable! But how could he return to his peak?"
"How else! He would have to diligently cultivate!" Zhen Yu couldn’t help but laugh, feeling relieved in her heart!
Fortunately, it’s still the Fantasy world! As long as he doesn’t step out of this frawork, she wouldn’t have changed his life, right...
"Diligently cultivate?" Han Mingyue seed to have caught onto sothing, but the inspiration flashed by too quickly for him to grasp it, so he couldn’t help but ask, "What do you an?"
Zhen Yu felt a mont of panic when asked, but then she quickly cald down.
Spoilers or whatever, let them be...
After organizing her thoughts, she then carefully selected her words to Han Mingyue.
"Think about it! Whether it’s the Investiture of the Gods or Liao Zhai, gods and demons aren’t born with the ability to command wind and rain! That fox demon and the like, don’t they all have to cultivate for many years before they can Transform into human form,"
"I get it now!" An enligthened Han Mingyue was bursting with excitent! He grabbed Zhen Yu’s hand, "Xiao Yu! You’ve really helped solve a huge problem!"
Just as Zhen Yu was about to happily respond, a cough ca from behind them.
"Hem hem! There’s still a living person here!"
Han Mingyue and Zhen Yu silently exchanged glances, and hand in hand, continued walking forward, walking, walking...
