Chapter 2 Purchasing Equipment

An Jin went upstairs with tears streaming down her face.

She lives on the third floor, where there are few guests; for more than half a month, she has been the only one staying there.

When people live in one place for a long time, they naturally accumulate more possessions.

Yan Qing gradually provided An Jin with various items, including clothes, shoes, face wash, and even skincare products.

An Jin went to the bathroom to wash her face, then came out with a pout, looking rather annoyed.

I'm still thinking about it.

What's going on? Why are my emotions becoming more and more volatile since I transmigrated here?

She used to be a nightmare in the Rift, capable of spraying nine enemies at once. She had never heard a single unpleasant word, and had never been exposed to the most vulgar insults, including those that insulted the entire family.

How did Yan Qing manage to break down my defenses with just a few words today?

An Jin rubbed her eyes in confusion, wondering if the game character she created had too few tears.

When Yan Qing came up, she saw An Jin standing alone in the room rubbing her eyes.

He thought An Jin was still crying, and he couldn't suppress the guilt in his heart.

Are you still angry with me?

Yan Qing stepped forward, bent down to observe An Jin's lowered face, and searched for her gaze.

An Jin pushed Yan Qing away, her eyes red, and looked up to say, "Who said I was angry?"

Yan Qing carefully observed An Jin's expression and was relieved to see that there was no sadness in An Jin's expression.

He looked at An Jin, who wasn't crying but was puffing up in anger, coughed, and received a big eye roll from her before saying, "I'm free today. Haven't you been saying you wanted a computer and a phone for a long time? I'll take you to buy them."

An Jin looked at Yan Qing suspiciously: "You would be so kind?"

Yan Qing smiled and retorted, "Am I that bad in your eyes?"

An Jin said seriously, "You're just bad."

Yan Qing skipped over that and asked with a smile, "So, are you going this afternoon?"

An Jin plopped down on her bed, thought for a moment, and then said decisively, "Go!"

Yan Qing then continued, "Buying electronic devices is a small matter. Where do you plan to put them after you buy them?"

An Jin glanced at the small coffee table in the room, pointed at it, and said, "It's fine to put it here."

It doesn't matter where you put a computer, as long as there's a place for the monitor and keyboard. You can just leave the tower on the floor.

Yan Qing changed the subject, saying, "You bought the computer to do live streaming. There are customers coming and going here. How can you do a live stream in peace?"

An Jin frowned upon hearing this. She looked at Yan Qing, thinking that he was just teasing her again by saying he would buy her a computer and a phone, and immediately changed her expression, saying, "Then what do you suggest?"

After hearing An Jin's words, Yan Qing finally revealed his true colors.

He said softly, "I have a two-bedroom apartment nearby, and I happen to need a roommate. Why don't you come and live with me?"

An Jin didn't think much of it. To be honest, her thinking was still that of a man from her previous life, and she didn't realize that Yan Qing's words had a hidden meaning.

Does it include meals?

An Jin asked.

Yan Qing: "Manage."

"I'll make whatever you want to eat."

An Jin frowned: "But your cooking is terrible."

She's the one who eats, yet she's finding fault with the cook.

Yan Qing coaxed her, "What do you want to eat? How about I go and learn how?"

An Jin then rattled off seventeen or eighteen of her favorite meat dishes in one breath, becoming more and more craving them as she spoke, unable to wait even a moment longer.

"I'm so hungry! You're treating me to lunch, but I want braised pork ribs right now!"

Yan Qing agreed, and seeing An Jin excitedly getting off the bed, he even reached out to help her up.

"Don't worry, the braised pork ribs won't run away."

Yan Qing stared intently at An Jin's calf, which had a red mark from the scrape.

An Jin ignored her and quickly changed her shoes, ready to go out for ribs: "Hurry up, hurry up."

She kept urging the lagging Yan Qing on; if it weren't for the fact that Yan Qing wasn't the one treating and paying, she would have loved to leave Yan Qing behind and go by herself.

The two walked downstairs, and Zhang Yuanyuan was busy putting out drinks and checking out guests, her feet barely touching the ground.

Finally having a moment of free time, she turned around and saw An Jin walking downstairs with her head held high, followed by Yan Qing. She was immediately furious.

"Oh, so even the young lady needs to be invited to get up?"

Zhang Yuanyuan looked every bit the vicious old nanny, making An Jin's sarcastic remarks send chills down her spine.

She rolled her eyes at Zhang Yuanyuan and ignored the young girl.

To be honest, after An Jin came here, she actually had a pretty good impression of Zhang Yuanyuan. If it weren't for Zhang Yuanyuan constantly making fun of her because she was eating and staying for free.

Who knows, the two might even become good friends.

After all... in An Jin's heart, she was still that twenty-six-year-old man who had accomplished nothing, and her sexual orientation was still that of a girl.

Yan Qing frowned slightly and scolded Zhang Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, how can you talk to a guest like that?"

Zhang Yuanyuan was about to ask, "What kind of guest is she?"

I haven't paid a single penny of rent, and I eat and drink at the restaurants all by myself.

Yan Qing scolded Zhang Yuanyuan again: "Yuanyuan, if you continue like this, you don't need to come to my shop to help anymore."

Zhang Yuanyuan, who had come to work part-time at her cousin's shop to earn pocket money, immediately wilted.

"Hmph, fine, I won't say anything more!"

Yan Qing looked at An Jin: "Don't mind her, Yuan Yuan is just being straightforward."

An Jin didn't care about Zhang Yuanyuan's words at all. She dragged her nearly empty stomach and said, "I'm so hungry, let's go."

Zhang Yuanyuan stared wide-eyed as the two left the restaurant to eat.

The two of them left while being all lovey-dovey right in front of her, without even leaving a word to pack up her leftovers!

Zhang Yuanyuan snorted and put the drink in the beverage cabinet, muttering, "Fine, I won't bring it. I'll just order takeout myself."

After saying that, he continued his arduous task of finishing what he hadn't done.

On the other side.

Yan Qing led An Jin to a small, unassuming restaurant located in a secluded alley.

The location of the hole-in-the-wall restaurant is remote, but the interior is quite large. It follows the old-fashioned design of the last century, and entering the store is like traveling through time.

The waitress in the store was a middle-aged woman. When she saw Yan Qing bring An Jin into the store, she greeted her with a smile.

What should we eat today?

Yan Qing nodded to the aunt without saying a word, then looked at An Jin with gentle eyes, indicating that An Jin could order whatever she wanted to eat.

An Jin didn't stand on ceremony at all. She casually found a seat and made a ridiculous demand: "I'd like a braised pork rib, a hot and sour shredded potato, and a stir-fried pork with green peppers."

She figured that three dishes would be about right for the two of them. After ordering, she looked up at Yan Qing, who was talking to the waitress, and asked, "Would you like some soup?"

Yan Qing chuckled: "Either is fine."

An Jin said, "Then we don't need the soup."

She made her decision, put the menu on the table, and sat down bored, watching the pedestrians outside the window.

After the waitress took the order from the kitchen, she whispered to Yan Qing when she came back: "Is this the girlfriend Yuanyuan was talking about?"

Yan Qing avoided his aunt's gaze and looked at An Jin's back with embarrassment. He said, "We are still just friends."

The auntie, with a knowing look on her face, said, "Oh my, I knew it! You're already in your twenties and still don't have a girlfriend. Your parents must be worried sick. You're friends now, but you'll be their girlfriend later."

The aunt smiled and said, "I think you two are a good match. You should treat her well in the future."

Yan Qing silently hummed in agreement: "I will treat her well."

The aunt gave Yan Qing an encouraging look: "I won't bother you two young lovers anymore. Go and talk to someone, you're making people bored."

Yan Qing chuckled, thanked the aunt for her kindness, and came to An Jin's side.

Hearing a noise nearby, An Jin frowned and turned around. Seeing Yan Qing sitting next to her, she said awkwardly, "Why are you sitting here?"

There are still seats available across the street. Besides, it would be too hot for two people to squeeze together in the summer.

Yan Qing's nonchalant attitude towards his aunt completely vanished in front of An Jin.

His cheeks flushed slightly, and he didn't dare to answer An Jin's question directly, instead changing the subject by asking, "Do you have a favorite phone brand in mind?"

An Jin, who was usually oblivious to things, was immediately swayed and started thinking about what brand of phone she wanted.

"Any smartphone will do, right?"

An Jin doesn't have high requirements for a mobile phone, but he wants a better computer: "Give me a computer with high specs. I'll be playing games and streaming it later. If the specs are too low, the streaming quality won't be good."

She never hid her entrepreneurial ideas. On her second day at the hostel, Yan Qing learned that she wanted to become a live streamer.

Yan Qing stared at An Jin's cherry-red lips as she babbled on, completely disregarding her image, and began to stare blankly at her face.

An Jin, who was speaking, did not notice Yan Qing's gaze. She continued to describe her business empire and even planned the profit sharing for their future cooperation.

After the food was served, An Jin, with a juicy rib in her mouth, said to Yan Qing, "Don't worry, if I become famous, I will definitely not forget you."

She smiled and winked meaningfully at Yan Qing: "You are my first sponsor. From now on, I will endorse your hostel and guarantee that your business will be booming."

When Yan Qing, who was usually quiet, met An Jin's gaze, he shamefully had the wrong idea.

He subtly adjusted his posture, suppressing the restlessness in his heart, and continued to listen to An Jin's plans for her future business empire.
