Rong Yan had a decent sleep that night.
Compared to the train, it was a very peaceful slumber.
The next morning, she planned to go house-hunting, and if she couldn’t find anything suitable to buy, she’d rent a place.
As for here, she wasn’t particularly keen on staying.
After freshening up, she opened her door.
Coincidentally, Qin Ye, who lived next door, was also just opening his door.
The spirited young man looked in very good spirits today.
He greeted Rong Yan with a wide smile as he saw her.
"Morning!"
"Morning, have you had breakfast? Do you want to join ?"
"I haven’t eaten yet, let’s go together." Qin Ye had been waiting up until now because he was waiting for her.
"Alright, let’s go!" There were many breakfast shops not far from downstairs.
The two of them walked downstairs together.
Walking side by side, they made quite an attractive pair.
"What shall we eat?"
Rong Yan didn’t say anything casual; she directly ordered a few of her favorites.
After breakfast, Qin Ye looked at Rong Yan.
"Oh, today you..."
"You go ahead with your stuff, I’m planning to look at houses."
Hearing that she wanted to look at houses, that beca an important matter to Qin Ye, and he planned to accompany her.
Because he really didn’t feel at ease.
"I’ve got nothing in particular to do, so if you don’t mind, I can join you! Besides, if there’s a suitable one, I might want to buy a place too."
He estimated the money in his possession, thinking he could afford a small place in this area.
Hearing him say that, Rong Yan nodded, "Alright, let’s go take a look together."
"By the way, I want to ask you sothing. What made you think of coming to Jing City?"
There had to be a reason, right?
"Actually, I’ve saved up a bit of money over the past few years in my hotown, and I was thinking of trying my luck in Jing City. There’s also..." Qin Ye glanced at her: "Sorry, I kind of lied to you, I also have one of my dad’s acquaintances here, and I need to pay them a visit..."
"As for the rest, I really didn’t deceive you even a bit, and I’m not that familiar with my dad’s friend."
Rong Yan: ...
Look at how nervous he’s gotten, as if it’s a big deal.
"It’s fine, you don’t need to explain to ."
Qin Ye didn’t feel any better after hearing this; on the contrary, he felt a little disheartened.
After all, only those who don’t care would consider it not a big deal.
Rong Yan might not have known what he was thinking, but it seed his feelings were written all over his face.
She quickly changed the subject: "How much is your budget for buying a house? That way, we can have a direction."
Qin Ye imdiately said, "I have over eight thousand in cash, but I have about fifty thousand in the bank."
He had actually not wanted to touch that fifty thousand.
Rong Yan: ...
Sorry for the intrusion!
She had underestimated him when she saw his shabby clothes yesterday, thinking he had no money, yet he had earned so much.
Nowadays, fifty to sixty thousand ant quite the wealthy individual.
"You don’t have to tell everything."
"Aren’t we friends? This is nothing."
Rong Yan: ...
"Let’s go! Let’s start looking around."
Buying a house wasn’t sothing to be done in a day or two.
They really didn’t find anything suitable that day.
However, there were new residential developnts available.
Rong Yan checked out one of these communities and found it quite good.
It was close to the downtown area and not too far from Jing City University.
The most important thing was that many primary schools and several middle schools were nearby, making the area quite valuable.
In the future, if she were to marry, the children would have schools close by for convenience.
"Why don’t we buy in this community?"
Qin Ye had no objections, and with his judgnt, the community was indeed very nice.
Plus, the residents seed to be people of higher standing.
"Alright, let’s go take a look at the sales office."
The real estate agency’s sales point was located right next to the community’s outer row of shops.
The mont they stepped into the sales center, they were warmly received by the sales staff.
"Hello, are you two here to buy a house?"
Rong Yan:"We’re just looking."
With that response, the sales staff, sensing that they were serious, especially given their youth, speculated that they might be preparing for marriage.
Thus, the introduction beca even more enthusiastic.
"Our houses here are the best in the area, and the whole community is well-landscaped with many schools around. It’ll be very convenient for your children to attend school nearby after you get married..."
Qin Ye’s heartbeat sped up at this.
Children, going to school... Just the thought of it made him feel very warm.
"...We’re not..."
He wanted to explain, mainly because he didn’t want to upset Rong Yan.
But Rong Yan didn’t seem to care much.
After all, whatever people say, it’s not necessarily the truth.
"Do you have the largest square terage available?"
The salesperson’s eyes lit up at once: "We do, the largest we’re offering in our community now is three hundred square ters. Though it’s a bit pricey, for such a large space in a pri location in Jing City, our community is the only option for the ti being. Plus, the anities we offer are quite comprehensive."
Rong Yan wasn’t excited by her words and simply stated, "Let’s take a look."
The salesperson imdiately responded, "Please follow !"
Rong Yan and Qin Ye followed her forward...

Wang Wei was in a foul mood. She hadn’t waited for Qin Ye yesterday, and today, again, no sign of Qin Ye. Did he co at all or not?
Why were there changes from her past life to her current one?
It was maddening to her.
And then there was the matter of her college application; with her ager scores, what was the point of applying?
Still, she went to school anyway.
Went for the one with the lowest score requirents.
With spiteful thoughts, she figured that diploma would suit Rong Yan just fine, so she intentionally picked one of the bottom choices that was utterly unsuitable for a girl.
The school, she heard, was also quite tumultuous.
Might as well let Rong Yan experience it and, being far from Jing, there would be no need for her to co ho after classes began.
After sorting all this out, her mood was exhilarated on her way out of school.
It was then that a boy selling newspapers shouted, "Newspapers for sale, today’s edition featuring the inspirational life story of the province’s top scholar..."
Wang Wei normally detested such things, especially top students.
But as she walked past the newspaper boy, she caught a glimpse of a black and white photo.
She was taken aback.
So faces you just don’t forget, even if they turned to ashes and even if it was another life—she could never forget their look.
Snatching the newspaper from the boy’s hands... upon seeing the content, she was stunned.
How could it be... how could Rong Yan be in the newspaper? She actually ranked first.
Her face instantly turned ugly.
If Rong Yan was first and made the newspaper, how could she take her place?
