The roar of an engine.
The sports car left behind only two streaks of light before disappearing down the street.
Inside the car, Lin Yi...
...was sizing up its interior.
He was secretly stunned. ’This car must cost several million, right?’
’Since when did Wei Nan have such a loaded cousin? Why had he never ntioned her before?’
Besides, would a cousin this rich really be short on 800 yuan for rent?
"My surna is Tang. You can call Tang Qinru!"
"You can call Cousin, just like Wei Nan, or you can call Sister Qingru. It’s up to you!"
His cousin, who was driving, suddenly introduced herself.
Lin Yi nodded. "Then, like Wei Nan, I’ll just call you Cousin."
"PFFT... Sure!" Tang Qinru couldn’t help but laugh.
She glanced back at Lin Yi.
"Don’t be so nervous. I don’t bite."
"How did Wei Nan describe to you?"
"Huh? Uh... he didn’t say much. Just that he had a cousin who was looking for a roommate, and a room was 800 yuan a month!"
Lin Yi was still a bit skeptical.
’His cousin drives such a nice car; how could she possibly be short on cash?’
’And even if she were, would it be just 800 yuan she was lacking?’
Tang Qinru smiled and nodded. "That’s right, 800 yuan. You can pick any room you like. I’ll cover all the utilities—water, electricity, gas—you won’t have to worry about a thing."
"Just give 800 yuan each month, and that’s it."
"But let be clear upfront. I’m looking for a roommate, but not because I need the 800 yuan. And I’m not so... floozy. So don’t get the wrong idea!"
"I’m simply looking for so company, soone to talk to."
Hearing this, Lin Yi’s doubts began to fade.
’The world of the rich is truly unfathomable.’
’Renting out a room just to find so company?’
’What a peculiar idea. What if the person she rents to has ulterior motives?’
’Or what if they have bad habits? A total slob...’
After a long mont, Lin Yi shook those thoughts away.
’She doesn’t need the money; she just wants a roommate for company. What kind of person she looks for is none of my business, right?’
’Besides, it’s not like she’d just pick any random person and settle, would she?’
"Oh, right. Do you have any bad habits? Like drinking? Smoking?"
"If you do, it’s best to tell now!"
"Also, you’re not allowed to bring any shady friends ho..."
"Shady friends? Does Wei Nan count?"
Lin Yi asked.
Tang Qinru shook her head. "I don’t think he counts!"
"Then I don’t have any. He’s my only ’dog’ friend!"
"PFFT..."
Tang Qinru couldn’t hold it in and laughed again.
"Alright, then. I’ll take you to see the apartnt first. If you’re satisfied, it’d be best if we could settle things today!"
Lin Yi didn’t speak, just nodded lightly.
’Settle it today and move in tomorrow?’
’Couldn’t ask for more...’
A few minutes later, the sports car entered a luxurious, high-end residential complex.
From the main gate onward, everything exuded an air of opulence.
No ordinary person could afford a place here.
When Tang Qinru drove into the underground parking garage,
Lin Yi got out of the car after her.
He glanced around the parking garage.
He saw that it was filled with nothing but incredibly expensive luxury cars.
’Who said there are no rich people in Xinghai City...’
’Turns out it was just Lin Dazhi who was too poor!’
Lin Yi mused silently.
After that, he followed Tang Qinru into an elevator and went upstairs.
After a soft ’DING,’ the elevator doors slowly slid open.
The elevator opened directly into the apartnt. Lin Yi stepped out.
"I like living on the top floor. You get to see a different kind of view... Co on in!"
Tang Qinru opened the door.
Imdiately, the faint scent of dicinal herbs drifted out from inside.
Lin Yi frowned, changed his shoes in the foyer, and walked inside.
Past the entrance was a spacious living room.
The entire apartnt was decorated in a traditional Chinese style, with all sorts of redwood furniture that showcased its luxury.
Looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see a stretch of grassland in the distance.
Rows of lights illuminated the area, making it incredibly bright.
Even though it was already night, he could still see adults and children playing there.
It seed they weren’t afraid of being targeted by demonic beasts at all.
"I have four rooms here. Aside from the master bedroom, which is mine, you can pick any one for yourself."
"Oh, and there’s an attic upstairs. That’s my study!"
"You are not to go up to the attic without my permission!"
"Also, you can use any of the appliances in the house, the things in the kitchen, and whatever’s in the fridge... If you use sothing up, it’s fine. You don’t need to pay for it!"
"The bedrooms have their own attached bathrooms, so there’s no need for us to fight over one!"
"So... you can make your decision. Do you want to rent my room or not?"
Tang Qinru finished her explanation with a smile.
She then led Lin Yi on a tour of each room.
Lin Yi now had a general idea of the place.
The entire apartnt had a traditional Chinese design, and every room was the sa.
Even the furniture and decorations were more or less identical.
For Lin Yi, any of the rooms would do.
It was just a place to sleep, after all.
At least here, he could get away from the Lin Family.
That was more than enough. The Martial Arts Exam was less than three months away.
Right now, Lin Yi just wanted to focus on his training and prepare for the exam.
"Cousin Qingru, I should also tell you about my own habits!"
"Oh? Alright, go ahead and tell !"
Tang Qinru sat down in a grand preceptor’s chair, smiling as she looked at Lin Yi.
"I might co back late at night, and I could disturb your rest. If..."
"Is that all?"
Before Lin Yi could finish, Tang Qinru cut him off with a smile.
"Yeah, that’s all!"
"As long as you don’t bring people back in the middle of the night, that’s not a problem."
"By the way, do you have a girlfriend?"
"No, I don’t!" Lin Yi shook his head.
Tang Qinru smiled. "Good that you don’t. I can accept your terms, so now it’s up to you. If you agree, we can finalize it today, and you can move in anyti with your bags. If you feel..."
"How about I give you the 800 yuan first?"
Suddenly, Lin Yi took out the 800 yuan he had prepared earlier and handed it to Tang Qinru.
She was taken aback for a mont, then glanced down at it.
The next mont, she couldn’t help but laugh.
"Alright, so decisive! In that case, I’ll take this 800 yuan!"
"Do we need to write up a receipt or a contract or anything?"
Lin Yi shook his head. "No need. A cousin wouldn’t rip off her younger cousin, right?"
"PFFT... You’re quite the smooth talker. Alright, then it’s settled!"
"I’ll get you the access card in a bit. You can move in whenever you’re ready!"
Afterward, his cousin repeated her conditions to Lin Yi one more ti.
Finally, after Lin Yi had chosen a room and received the access card,
he left in the elevator.
As he walked out of the residential complex,
he was in an exceptionally good mood. The registration fee was taken care of, and he now had a place to live.
Tomorrow, he would move out of Lin Dazhi’s place and never see him again.
