My master quickly helped me up, and I could feel the warmth in his smile.

Xixi just watched quietly from the side without saying a word.

No matter what decision I make, Xixi always supports me wholeheartedly, giving me the motivation to move forward.

After I become an apprentice today, I may have less contact with Xixi, but this will not affect our friendship.

Xixi and I were once marginalized members of society, out of place with everyone else in this world.

That is why two lonely souls can rely on each other.

The master walked over, as if he had something to say, but hesitated to speak.

I quickly asked, "What's wrong, Master? Is something the matter? Or have you changed your mind...?"

The master shook his head, a wry smile on his face: "This is my first time taking on an apprentice, and the script is all copied from my senior brother's."

"I got a little too excited and forgot something. Do you still remember the Five Deficiencies and Three Lacks?"

When I heard this, my face turned pale. Yes, how could I have forgotten about this?

The substitute charm from last time has long since expired, so now it's like I don't know what risks are involved and I'm left to bear them.

My master patted my shoulder and said, "It's alright. Just do good deeds. This kind of thing isn't irreversible."

"I'll call you when I go on missions in the future."

"Since you want to see the wonders of this world, I will show you a side of it that you have never seen before."

"Of course, it will be very dark. Are you prepared for that?"

I nodded vigorously, my heart filled with anticipation: "Once you embark on some paths, there's no turning back. I can only run forward with all my might."

Master smiled calmly: "As expected of a highly educated person, the words you speak are indeed of high cultural content, hahaha."

Hearing my master's words, I felt my cheeks burning: "Oh, Master, please stop teasing me!"

It took us a while to recover from the atmosphere after the apprenticeship ceremony.

I couldn't help but think about it. Now that I have officially become my master's disciple, I will naturally encounter people who are always with my master.

But I can't stay in my senior's room forever, so I have to go out and find a temporary place to stay.

After discussing it with my master, we decided to go out and find an apartment to live in.

There are plenty of apartments for rent nearby, just a ten-minute walk from here.

If you're looking for someone to share the apartment, the rent isn't too expensive.

My master originally wanted to give me money, but I refused. After all, I hadn't done anything, so I couldn't just take my master's money for nothing.

The master didn't say much, only that if I needed money, I could talk to him.

In this line of work, a master is truly like a father.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was dark.

Xixi and I also decided to spend the night in the side room, and tomorrow Xixi will accompany me to look for a place to rent.

One night, Xixi's little hands kept touching my body, and I naturally returned the favor.

And so, a silent commotion unfolded on the bed.

The next day at dawn

Xixi and I packed our small bags and left our master's antique shop to find a suitable place to stay.

However, reality did not go as smoothly as imagined; after searching for a house all morning, none of them were suitable.

Either the rent for a single room is outrageously expensive, or the roommates are all sorts of strange people.

Some people keep their rooms very dirty and messy, while others keep snakes in their rooms.

I raised my hand and pinched my brow. I felt as if my brain had been hit by a heavy hammer.

I glanced at Xixi with a wry smile, while Xixi still looked full of energy.

For Xixi, each time she contacts a house, it's like opening a blind box; she even looks forward to seeing what the next one will be like.

Seeing how motivated Xixi, who was with me, was, I naturally couldn't lose heart, so I picked up my phone map again:

"Let's check out this place. It's a shared apartment posted by someone called 'Qingxin Guayu Xiaoshaonian.' The room looks pretty nice."

Xixi took the phone, examined it carefully, and then gave a sweet smile: "I think this is good, let's go check it out!"

We walked for less than ten minutes and arrived at the building of an apartment building.

I picked up the phone and started contacting the person whose online name was "A Pure and Desireless Young Man":

"Hello, are you still looking for roommates here?"

A moment later, a cool voice came from the other end of the phone: "This is me. Your room is 602. Do you need me to bring you up?"

I said into the phone, "No need to trouble yourself, I can go up there myself."

The other party simply responded and then hung up the phone.

Xixi and I took the elevator to the sixth floor and found room 602.

I reached out and gently knocked on the door: "Hello, I'm here to look at apartments for roommates."

With a creak, the door opened from the inside, and a man wearing a hoodie poked his head out.

"Hello..."

The man glanced at Xixi and asked, "Are you two sharing this place? The room might be a bit cramped, but there are three bedrooms."

I waved my hand: "I'm the only one sharing the apartment. She's my friend, she just came with me to visit."

The man suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. Please come in and see if you like the room."

I smiled and nodded, then followed them into the room.

My first impression upon entering the room was that it was refreshing and new.

The room was spotless, the coffee table was neatly arranged, and the shoes on the shoe cabinet were all neatly arranged.

Stepping into the bathroom, you'll find a standard wet and dry separation design.

The toilet and floor were spotless; it didn't even look like a room a man had lived in.

There was even a faint scent of vanilla in the room.

It's obvious that he didn't clean it just because I was coming; it's just his usual way of life.

These little details in life are the easiest to discover.

The man beside him spoke up: "You forgot to introduce yourself. My name is Wu Shi, Wu as in mouth and Shi as in world. Don't you know what the young lady's name is?"

I suddenly remembered that the other person didn't know my name: "Sorry, my name is Chen Xi. Chen is the Chen of old age, and Xi is the Xi of the moon."

Wu Shi smiled faintly and said, "What a lovely name. Miss Chen Xi, is there anything you'd like to know?"

I nodded slightly: "Could you show me the bedroom?"

Upon hearing my request, Wu Shi led me into the bedroom.

The bedroom is fully furnished, with a small lamp on the bedside table, a small desk next to it, and a floating bookshelf above.

Beside the bed is a window facing east; by drawing back the curtains, you can see the first rays of the morning sun.

This apartment is the most comfortable room I've seen today.

In this bustling city, being able to stay in such a comfortable house would surely lift one's spirits.
