Chapter 37

Ji Liao moved back to his new home.

Wen Qiu did not follow him this time. The new home was still the same new home, but Ji Liao felt that the house was particularly empty.

It doesn't matter, you'll get used to it.

Ji Liao comforted himself in this way.

It was midnight when he got home, and to give himself a good start, he cleaned up without stopping.

When everything was cleaned up, daylight came through the glass window.

Ji Liao took a shower and lay down on the soft bed.

Chen Ziri sent him countless messages to apologize.

He didn't mean to blame Chen Ziri.

He just wasn't in the mood to deal with it.

So he didn't reply.

The blackout curtains dutifully blocked out the light, and Ji Liao turned over and found a comfortable position.

There is no problem that sleep can't solve.

He closed his eyes tiredly.

*

This sleep was not a sound one.

Ji Liao sometimes dreamed of a car accident, and sometimes dreamed of Wen Qiu.

I thought I had slept for a long time, but when I opened my eyes and looked at the clock, less than five hours had passed.

Ji Liao had no choice but to keep his eyes open and think nothing.

Everything about his new home seemed strange to him, and he still couldn't get used to it.

Facts have proven that when I was at work, I wanted to quit every day, but when I was really unemployed at home, I was bored.

Fortunately, he didn't stay idle for too long.

Chen Ziri sent another apology message.

This time Ji Liao replied:

[Chen Xiaoli, I really don't blame you, just relax.]

[I didn’t reply to you yesterday because I was busy.]

Chen Zili replied with a "crying" emoji and continued:

[There's a buyer interested in your old house.]

Ji Liao jumped out of bed.

[Great, when can I see the house? Now? Let's make an appointment now. I'll go too!]

Finally I have something to do. Although my body is still tired, my spirit is very refreshed.

Chen Ziri sent a question mark, but quickly withdrew it and replied with an "OK".

Ji Liao didn't see it because he went straight to the bathroom to wash up after getting up.

Half an hour later, the two met downstairs of the old house.

The weather was still very cold. Chen Ziri was wearing a thick down jacket, and the tip of her nose was a little red from the cold.

"Aren't you wearing too little?" he said as he pulled Ji Liao into the corridor.

Ji Liao has hardly been outside since he came back, and his body perception is still stuck on the tropical island.

So he knew it was cold outside, but he didn't feel the cold, so he just wore a sweater and a fleece jacket.

As soon as I got off the car, I felt a chill down my spine.

"I'm still hot." He unzipped his pants and brought up the topic:

"When will the buyers arrive? Are they interested in buying? Do you need me to do anything?"

Chen Zili: "It's definitely strong. There's a rumor that a good junior high school is moving in nearby. I can't guarantee the truth, but houses in the entire neighborhood are suddenly in high demand."

Ji Liao was overjoyed: "Is there such a good thing?"

Chen Zili: "That's right! You're so lucky, you'll definitely get a good price this time."

The two chatted as they reached the door.

Chen Ziri opened the door with a spare key. Although he was a part-time agent, he worked very seriously and had cleaned the house, making it spotless.

After waiting for another ten minutes, the buyer arrived.

"Climbing to the top floor is so tiring!" The buyer was an Alpha and started finding fault as soon as he showed up.

Ji Liao did not speak rashly, but looked at Chen Ziri.

As expected, Chen Zili didn't take it seriously and smiled sweetly: "Brother, our top floor has its advantages. Look at how much light there is and how wide the view is."

Alpha is not young, he looks like an ordinary middle-aged man.

As Chen Ziri spoke, Ji Liao smelled a pungent peppery smell.

"You omegas just know how to talk."

As Alpha spoke, he began to look around.

Chen Ziri had been here several times and had already grasped the situation inside the house.

He followed the alpha's gaze and began to introduce himself, smoothly and effortlessly.

Ji Liao just watched from the side without saying a word.

After a while, Alpha said:

"The layout of this house is nice. It's a pity it's on the top floor. I need to think about it."

Chen Zili kept smiling: "Of course, no problem, you can take as long as you want to think about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang.

Chen Ziri nodded and went next door, and came back soon.

"What a coincidence, another customer wants to see the house," he said.

The alpha seemed surprised and then asked, "Are there many people looking at the house?"

Chen Zili smiled and said, "You know, it's about the school district. Some people buy houses and don't even live there, just for the school district."

Alpha: "But we're still not sure whether the school will move or not?"

Chen Zili: "Yes, it seems that everyone is an adventurer."

"Well, please let that customer wait for a moment."

After Alpha finished speaking, he suddenly turned to Ji Liao and said, "Are you the landlord? I'm too lazy to choose anymore. Why don't we talk about the price and book it today if possible."

“…”

Ji Liao understood that Alpha's purchasing intention was stimulated by the customers behind him and he was overwhelmed.

Ji Liao really wanted to close the deal quickly, so he didn't speak rashly. Instead, he looked at Chen Ziri.

Chen Zili hesitated for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Okay, I'll talk to them."

*

After a series of bargaining, Alpha finally bought the old house for 1.86 million.

Alpha is very satisfied.

Ji Liao was also very satisfied.

After paying the deposit and signing the contract, Chen Zili sent Alpha away and turned to Ji Liao, questioning, "You agreed too quickly! You could have raised it a little more!"

Ji Liao waved his hand.

It is true that there are quite a few mansions worth tens of millions in this city, and there are also many houses worth several million.

But this apartment is not one of them.

It is not in the city center and the house is old. It should have been waiting to be demolished and incorporated into the new urban area, otherwise it would not be sold.

Now some people are paying a higher price to buy it, which is good.

He just wants to cash in.

Chen Zili could only sigh in regret.

"By the way," Ji Liao changed the subject: "Thank you for helping me clean the house."

The old man's house was full of clutter, and Ji Liao had tried to sort it out, but faced numerous difficulties.

Later, he just picked out a few items that looked important and buried them in the old man's tomb.

After that, I asked Chen Zili to help find someone to clean up.

I didn't expect it to be so clean.

"Well, why are you being so polite to me?" Chen Zili said, "I have to thank you for not blaming me."

"Not really." Ji Liao was also very generous: "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner. Did the other customer give you any trouble just now?"

Chen Zili: "How could there be another client? My boss called me."

Ji Liao: “…”

*

Lou Yue's office quickly uncovered a bunch of rumormongers. Faced with the threat of prosecution, most of them quickly gave up, and only some opponents continued to fight.

But this is not something Lou Yue worries about.

With the appearance of Meng Shuyi, their marriage is no longer a "small-scale "circle matter".

Since he was going to be exposed anyway, Meng Shuyi just openly revealed his identity.

This also caused an uproar in the fan circle.

Some are satisfied with this marriage, while others strongly oppose it. But no matter how much they argue, there is no objection to Lou Yue's return.

So Lou Yue didn’t get to go on her honeymoon.

After the wedding, he went back to prepare for work.

So is Meng Shuyi.

There is no sweetness between the two of them, but they are as serious about life as an old married couple.

Even moving in together was a natural progression.

Like two good friends living under the same roof.

Therefore, when Wen Qiu came to visit, it was Meng Shuyi who opened the door.

Wen Qiu wasn't surprised, but Meng Shuyi was. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm not looking for you." Wen Qiu didn't bother to pay attention to Meng Shuyi and walked in.

For Lou Yue's sake, Meng Shuyi did not stop him.

The residence of Lou Yue and Meng Shuyi was purchased jointly by the Meng family and the Lou family, and it was also Lou Yue's first real property after he became an adult.

This is Wen Qiu's first time here.

"Brother Qiu?" Lou Yue also looked puzzled when he saw Wen Qiu.

Wen Qiu seemed to be at home. He sat down at the bar, resting his hands on his temples without saying a word.

Lou Yue and Meng Shuyi looked at each other.

It was just before going to work in the morning, and Meng Shuyi originally planned to go to work after drinking coffee.

When Wen Qiu arrived, he decisively sat on the other side of the bar and refused to leave.

Lou Yue still had two days to rest before going back to record songs. So lately, he would get up in the morning, make coffee, see Meng Shuyi off, and then go back to his room to study the music.

Seeing Qiu's expression at this moment, he didn't need to reply.

Soon, a cup of coffee was placed in front of Wen Qiu.

"Tell me about it, Brother Qiu." Lou Yue poured a cup of coffee for Meng Shuyi, and the three of them sat at the same table.

He took the first sip and brought up the topic: "I saw the news. Lu Hongda was taken away for investigation as soon as he got off the plane."

Wen Qiu also took a sip of coffee and frowned because it was so bitter.

"Add some milk for me." He pushed the cup to Lou Yue.

"?" Lou Yue: "Don't you like American style?"

Wen Qiu closed his eyes and rubbed his temples again: "It's too bitter."

Lou Yue: "..."

Lu Hongda's matter was lightly skipped over. Lou Yue understood that Wen Qiu did not come for this matter.

After replacing Wen Qiu's latte, Lou Yue simply asked, "Brother Qiu, what's on your mind? Tell me."

The room was well heated, and Wen Qiu seemed to come back to life after taking two sips of hot coffee.

He took off his coat and draped it over the chair, then said calmly, "Ji Liao has been gone for a week."

Lou Yue looked puzzled: "Where did you go?"

Wen Qiu did not answer.

Lou Yue and Meng Shuyi looked at each other again.

This time it was Meng Shuyi's turn to speak: "He failed to differentiate himself, couldn't bear the blow, and ran away from home?"

Before he finished speaking, Wen Qiu glared at him.

Then he turned his gaze to Lou Yue, his eyes full of displeasure.

Lou Yue spread his hands and said with a helpless smile: "Brother Qiu, we are married."

Moreover, when they left the island, there was such a big commotion, so Ji Liao must tell Meng Shuyi what happened next.

Wen Qiu remained noncommittal, took a sip of coffee, and said, "It has nothing to do with division."

He had not told Lou Yue about the contract between him and Ji Liao, so now he had no way to explain his relationship with Ji Liao.

But I feel so upset.

Lou Yue is his only friend.

If he keeps on being depressed, he'll go crazy.

So I came to find Lou Yue.

"I understand." Lou Yue said: "You were dumped."

"Puff!" Meng Shuyi spat out a mouthful of coffee.

Wen Qiu's eyes flashed with ferocity again.

Meng Shuyi was not to be outdone.

Lou Yue hurriedly blocked the two people's gazes from meeting: "Alright, control your pheromones. If you can't, go outside and fight. Don't provoke me."

If it weren't for Lou Yue, Wen Qiu and Meng Shuyi would never sit at the same table.

Therefore, after Lou Yue finished speaking, they all restrained themselves.

Lou Yue held the cup and looked at Wen Qiu.

He had no idea about the beginning of Ji Liao and Wen Qiu's relationship.

But after observing for a long time, Wen Qiu has indeed invested a lot.

Although Wen Qiu himself may not have noticed it.

"Why did he leave?" Lou Yue asked.

This is also the problem that makes Wen Qiu depressed.

"He's just after money." Wen Qiu drank his coffee and tasted the astringency of the alcohol.

There was no need to elaborate, Lou Yue and Meng Shuyi both understood.

Ji Liao is with Wen Qiu for money.

Lou Yue has no experience in love and is still thinking about how to comfort Wen Qiu.

Meng Shuyi suddenly said, "Think about it from another angle. He's only after your money, but he still likes you."

Lou Yue: "..."

This is also an idea.

He looked at Wen Qiu, ready for Wen Qiu to get angry at any time.

Wen Qiu thought for a moment with an expressionless face, then put down the cup and said:

"That makes sense."

Meng Shuyi looked at Lou Yue, and his eyes expressed "I still understand".

Lou Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Ji Liao can leave if he wants. He's a beta, and your grandma won't agree."

“Beta is not a problem.”

This time, Wen Qiu and Meng Shuyi spoke in unison.

The excessive synchronization caused both of them to be frightened and they looked at each other in shock.

Lou Yue gave a mischievous smile.

"Look, isn't this solved?" Lou Yue shook the cup: "Brother Qiu, would you like another cup?"

Wen Qiu also laughed, stood up and picked up his coat: "No, I have something important to do."
