As long as the price is right, he can move whenever he wants.

"Besides, I already own an apartment in this complex for my own convenience while studying; it's just not in the same building as yours."

Qin Wan believed this to be true; almost all the children from wealthy families at S University owned houses in Shenghua Garden.

Even those who can't afford to buy a house in Shenghua Garden have bought or rented houses in other nearby communities, just for the convenience of going to school.

"Then why don't you just live in your own house?" Qin Wan blurted out.

Qiao Muzhi glanced at her indifferently, his brows furrowing slightly, and his tone was somewhat unfriendly: "Why do you talk so much nonsense?"

Qin Wan: "..."

Seeing that Qiao Muzhi was unwilling to say more, Qin Wan pursed her red lips slightly, and a faint look of loneliness flashed in her eyes.

She lowered her eyes, her tone slightly apologetic: "I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds and said too much."

Qiao Muzhi: "???"

Seeing Qin Wan turn to leave, Qiao Mu subconsciously reached out and grabbed her.

Qin Wan turned around in confusion, and their eyes met...

A faint hint of unease flashed across Qiao Muzhi's eyes. He released Qin Wan's hand and pointed to the moving workers beside him.

"You almost hit them."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan quickly moved to the side, making enough space and distance for the staff to pass through.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just didn't notice..."

Seeing Qin Wan suddenly apologize, Qiao Muzhi frowned slightly, and a faint look of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

He was the one who helped Qin Wan and prevented her from being hit.

Instead of being grateful to him, Qin Wan went to apologize to the staff...

Thinking about this made Qiao Muzhi feel very bad.

Moreover, when did he ever say that she overstepped her bounds and talked too much?

Qiao Muzhi was very unhappy, so he left Qin Wan and turned to enter the elevator.

Qin Wan hesitated for a moment, but still didn't follow...

Yes, she was waiting for him to speak.

The moving staff had already taken another elevator up. Only Qiao Muzhi was in this elevator. Seeing that Qin Wan hadn't come in for a long time, Qiao Muzhi frowned.

Why are you dawdling?

Qin Wan pointed to herself, "You mean me?"

"Is there anyone else here besides you?" Qiao Muzhi stared at her intently.

"I'll wait for the next elevator," Qin Wan said, glancing at him before hesitating.

Qiao Muzhi's face darkened, and he narrowed his eyes. "What? You look down on me? You don't want to ride the same elevator as me?"

"Huh? I didn't mean that." Qin Wan quickly waved her hand in denial.

Seeing this, Qiao Muzhi didn't bother to waste words with her. He went forward and grabbed her waving hand. With a push, the two of them smoothly entered the elevator.

"Um, I really didn't mean that..." Qin Wan thought for a moment and explained.

Qiao Muzhi glanced at her indifferently and snorted, "No one but you knows what you're thinking."

"..." Qin Wan opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

...

...

...

Then, an eerie silence fell over the huge live stream room.

Seeing her like this, a trace of annoyance flashed in Qiao Muzhi's eyes. He couldn't help but wonder if he had been too harsh and excessive with his words.

"I..." Qiao Muzhi opened his mouth, about to say something, when Qin Wan suddenly spoke up.

"Thank you."

Qiao Muzhi was taken aback. "What?"

"Thank you." Qin Wan looked at him with a firm gaze, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Qiao Muzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked calmly, "Why are you thanking me all of a sudden?"

"bite."

Before Qin Wan could answer him, the elevator arrived smoothly at their floor and the elevator doors opened.

Qin Wan smiled at him, waved goodbye, and said, "I'm going home now."

Without giving Qiao Muzhi a chance to speak, she turned around, walked out of the elevator, entered the password, and returned to her apartment.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Qiao Muzhi put his hands in his pockets, a faint look of frustration flashing in his eyes.

He slipped away before he could even finish speaking...

Just then, Qiao Muzhi's phone rang.

A "ding-dong" notification sound rang out.

[Qin Wan: Hello, my new neighbor. Thank you for coming. I'm very happy and fortunate.]

Qiao Muzhi: "..." You're quite good at it.

[Qiao Muzhi's favorability increased by 2, current favorability 68.]

Two hours later.

The noise next door had barely stopped when Qin Wan's doorbell rang...

"Ding-dong, ding-dong."

The urgent doorbell ringing forced Qin Wan to hurriedly put down her chopsticks and go to the entrance to open the door.

"Qiao Muzhi?" Qin Wan looked surprised as she saw the familiar face at the door.

Qiao Muzhi's nose twitched slightly as he smelled the delicious aroma wafting from the house. He raised an eyebrow and asked with interest, "Cooking?"

"Just finished," Qin Wan said.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Muzhi nodded in satisfaction, reached out and pushed open the door, then walked in.

Seeing this, Qin Wan quickly opened the shoe cabinet next to her and instructed, "Change your shoes."

Qiao Muzhi glanced at her indifferently. Seeing that she did not show any surprise or astonishment, he slightly curved his thin lips and a hint of pleasure appeared in his eyes.

"You don't seem surprised?"

Qin Wan looked up at him. "I made a portion for two. Let's eat together."

After receiving a definite answer, Qiao Muzhi smiled with satisfaction.

They're quite smart.

"You made so much, can one person finish it all?" Qiao Muzhi changed his shoes and walked into the house.

"The other one is for you," Qin Wan explained.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Muzhi glanced at her indifferently, the corners of his mouth curving deeper.

"How did you know I'd come to your house for dinner? What if I'd ordered takeout or had plans?" Qiao Muzhi deliberately teased.

"Then I'll save it for lunch tomorrow," Qin Wan said.

Qiao Muzhi: "..." Ha, she's certainly got a good little scheme going.

Thinking of this, Qiao Muzhi glanced at her with displeasure, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table and began to eat by himself.

Yes, he didn't even wait for Qin Wan.

He learned it from Qin Wan; she prepared his meal but didn't call him in advance, or even tell him.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to come to her, judging from what she just said, she wouldn't have even insisted on inviting him if he hadn't come or had other plans.

She had even planned to save the extra food for tomorrow's lunch or dinner.

Thinking of this, Qiao Muzhi felt inexplicably annoyed, and stared intently at Qin Wan with a deep gaze.

Qin Wan paused in her act of holding a chicken leg, and after noticing Qiao Muzhi's burning gaze, a faint look of bewilderment appeared in her eyes.

She looked up at Qiao Muzhi, then looked down at the chicken leg on her chopsticks...

Finally, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth to put the chicken leg from her chopsticks into Qiao Muzhi's bowl.

Qiao Muzhi was taken aback...

Seeing that he was still staring intently at her, Qin Wan blinked and asked, feigning ignorance, "What's wrong?"

"Isn't one chicken leg enough?"

"Or... is there something dirty on my face?"

As she spoke, Qin Wan made a gesture as if to put down her chopsticks to check her face.

Seeing this, Qiao Muzhi suddenly grabbed her hand.

The instant skin touched...

The warmth in his palm made Qiao Muzhi's heart tremble almost imperceptibly...

A feather seemed to have fallen into the calm lake of my heart, creating ripples that made my heart flutter.

[Qiao Muzhi's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 70.]

"You..." Qin Wan looked at Qiao Muzhi holding her hand in astonishment.

Qiao Muzhi snapped out of his daze and quickly let go of her. He lowered his eyes, pretending to be calm, to hide the turbulent emotions surging within them.

There's nothing dirty on your face.

"There are chicken legs too... I can get them myself, you can eat yours," Qiao Muzhi said absentmindedly.

Qin Wan looked at him intently, a hint of worry in her eyes. "Are you... really alright?"

Qiao Muzhi raised his eyes and glanced at her with feigned composure, then stubbornly said, "What could possibly be wrong with me?"

"Alright, stop thinking about it and hurry up and eat." After saying that, Qiao Muzhi lowered his head and focused on enjoying his food, no longer looking at Qin Wan.
