In fact, it was more than just shock...

Shen Yanxin almost bit her tongue.

The guess became reality. Wen Chenlu's true identity was an older sister who was seven or eight years older than her. This contrast was really hard for Shen Yanxin to accept.

"There's nothing to apologize for; on the contrary, I admire your honesty."

Wen Chenlu didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer and focused on enjoying her afternoon tea. She had come specifically for the pineapple bun, and although Shen Yanxin was to her liking, that didn't stop her from continuing to savor the delicious treat.

Since the other party had said that, Shen Yanxin was not one to be ungrateful, and the scene immediately fell silent.

This dessert shop has a great location. Most of the customers are students, and the place is filled with laughter and playful banter, exuding a youthful atmosphere.

On the contrary, Shen Yanxin and Wen Chenlu's table were both very silent, appearing out of place with their surroundings.

Time passed by, and Wen Chenlu gradually finished her meal, patting her belly contentedly.

Then, those adorable big eyes glanced over and noticed the suitcase standing next to Shen Yanxin, and a thought struck her slightly. "Are you looking for a place to live?"

Wen Chenlu suddenly remembered that the young master had told her yesterday that it was a waste for him to live alone in such a large apartment and that he wanted to find her a roommate...

She herself felt that living alone seemed a bit lonely.

However, the other roses already have places to live, and two of them are even abroad. Cao Ying, the only one in Jiang City, has other tasks to do recently and already has a villa to live in, so it's unlikely that she will come to share a place with him.

Wen Chenlu would treat every word the young master said as gospel, a creed she would follow no matter what.

Besides, the young master has so many things to do every day, how can we add to his troubles?

It would be better to find roommates myself, so that the young master wouldn't have to worry. Besides, roommates I've personally selected will definitely have temperaments that suit my taste, and there won't be any friction in the future.

Although Wen Chenlu had only known Shen Yanxin for a short time and had only met her once, she unexpectedly felt a sense of goodwill towards her that she didn't dislike.

or……

Is it her?

"Yes, do you live nearby, sister? I'm planning to find a place to rent in Lishiquyuan."

Shen Yanxin's expression was strange.

Well, even though she already knew that Wen Chenlu was actually older than her, Shen Yanxin still felt a little awkward having to call someone who looked like a little girl "sister".

"Are you going to Lishi Quyuan too?"

Wen Chenlu's eyes lit up instantly, but at the same time, a hint of suspicion arose in her heart.

Years of carrying out assassination missions have raised Wen Chenlu's vigilance to the highest level.

You might bump into someone looking for a place to live in Lishi Quyuan while you're out having dessert?

And his temperament is just so to my liking...

Is it really that much of a coincidence?

"Yeah, but I'm unlucky, I just got scammed... I'm not familiar with this area, so I'm a little worried about whether I can find it."

When the topic of sadness came up, Shen Yanxin sighed softly. She was eating her favorite dessert, which was supposed to lift her spirits, but her mood suddenly plummeted.

How did you get scammed?

Wen Chenlu subtly tried to get information out of Shen Yanxin. Although Shen Yanxin looked like a high school student, her years of professional habits and the caution she had developed made her hesitant to trust her easily.

After all, as the Blue Rose, one of the four roses, she is a major enemy of the Xing family. With the Xing family's power, it is not impossible for them to investigate her preferences and then find someone to cater to her and gain her favor.

Whether Shen Yanxin is lying or not, she only needs to observe for a while to find out.

If the other person has ulterior motives and is just trying to get close to you...

A fleeting, almost imperceptible, sharp killing intent flashed across Wen Chenlu's eyes.

"Well, to be honest, it's partly my fault for being careless, but it's just really annoying..."

Shen Yanxin was already feeling down, and now that she had someone to confide in, she immediately told everyone what had happened.

"...So that's how it is. Don't blame yourself. Although you were careless, you are still a student and inexperienced in the ways of the world. You didn't understand these tricks and were deceived. You can't look for the problem in yourself; it's the other party's fault."

Wen Chenlu nodded slowly, the murderous intent in her eyes gradually dissipating.

She had already realized that everything Shen Yanxin said was true.

It's not that Shen Yanxin's account is flawless. If it were, and no logical flaws could be found, Wen Chenlu would become suspicious. Because without training, it's impossible to find someone whose logic is completely flawless; there will always be inconsistencies.

Chenyanxin belongs to this category.

Moreover, there was a crucial point: Wen Chenlu considered that it wouldn't be appropriate to say it directly, so she didn't.

The kind of innocent foolishness that Shen Yanxin exuded was something the Xing family couldn't fake...

Only a naive kid who has never entered society would fall for this trick.

Hearing this, Wen Chenlu was already relieved.

The reason is that Shen Yanxin in front of him could not possibly have been sent by the Xing family; those people would not send a real student to approach him.

Because this is no different from simply sending yourself to your death.

"So, I'm looking for a house, preferably in Lishi Quyuan."

Shen Yanxin sighed again, taking small sips of the hot coconut milk. The sweet, warm coconut milk entered her mouth, slightly dispelling the gloom in her heart.

"Then why does it have to be the Lishi Quyuan?"

Wen Chenlu asked.

"Because...because the person I like lives there."

Shen Yanxin blushed slightly. She didn't know why she would boldly admit this in front of a stranger. Perhaps it was because she didn't know Wen Chenlu and their lives didn't intersect, so she dared to openly admit that she had someone she liked.

"I see... I understand now."

Wen Chenlu nodded slowly. Shen Yanxin had passed her test. Then, not being the type to keep people in suspense, she directly said, "I have an apartment and I'm looking for a roommate. It's in Lishi Quyuan, Building 2, Section C, Room 308. If you're interested, come with me in a bit."

"Of course, I will prepare a contract for you, in duplicate, one for you and one for me."

Although Wen Chenlu's face remained expressionless, a slight smile appeared in her eyes.

She found a roommate without even needing the young master's help, so she should be able to get his praise, right?

For Wen Chenlu, no matter how many tasks she completed or how much reward she received, nothing was as happier as Xia Che patting her head and praising her.
