"I'll help you pack. What do you want to take?"

He didn't have much stuff, just a few extra skirts. It was already embarrassing enough for Shen Linzhou to see the one he was wearing, so he didn't want him to see the rest in the closet and pushed his suitcase over.

"Please sit down for a while, I can tidy up myself."

The room was small, so my suitcase was behind the door.

I stepped back and opened the latch. Just as I was about to open the cabinet door, I felt a gaze fixed on me from behind. I hesitated, turned around, and my hand was still on the cabinet handle.

Do you want some water?

Shen Linzhou: "Not thirsty."

Nan Yu: "Then...would you like to look at the scenery outside the window?"

Shen Linzhou understood his unspoken meaning, got up from the stool, and said, "I'll wait for you downstairs."

Nan Yu: "Okay."

Pack everything into your suitcase.

She was carrying a small bag and took the elevator down. Shen Linzhou was waiting outside. The boy's tall and slender figure looked just like the protagonist in a movie. Nan Yu was slightly stunned, but when she thought about how her secret had been exposed, she felt emo again.

Although I know he won't talk nonsense.

But the wick itself felt guilty.

When a person feels guilty, they will definitely try to find something else to cover it up. Shen Linzhou suggested sharing the rent, thinking that if the money is spent, the secret can be kept.

When Shen Linzhou saw the person arrive, he naturally took the boy's suitcase.

She even wanted to take the bag from his hand.

Nan Yu subconsciously stepped back and stammered:

"Thank you, thank you, I'll take it myself."

Shen Linzhou nodded slightly, withdrew his hand, and accompanied the boy out of the residential area, heading straight for the black sedan under the sycamore tree. The car looked very expensive, with two "W"s in the center of the tires.

The wick is familiar to everyone.

But judging from the car's imposing appearance, it didn't seem like the Volkswagen he had ever seen before.

Dengxin asked softly, "Did you take a taxi?"

Shen Linzhou paused for a second, then answered vaguely, "I guess so."

The wick nodded.

Shen Linzhou opened the trunk and put Nan Yu's luggage inside.

The driver wanted to get out and help put the luggage away.

Shen Linzhou made a gesture, and then silently sat back in the driver's seat.

Shen Linzhou was a man of few words; I had seen that of him back in school.

Nan Yu never expected that going out to gather material would lead to her being caught red-handed. She was feeling depressed and didn't really want to talk. She leaned against the window, watching the scenery rushing past outside, and felt that something seemed off about the road.

Unlike sparsely populated suburbs.

I passed by many tall buildings.

He froze when the car turned into a residential area and stopped at a building. Shen Linzhou got out of the car, and seeing that Deng Xin hadn't gotten out, he opened the car door for him, bowed slightly, and said, "We've arrived."

Nan Yu only realized this belatedly.

The driver took the luggage out.

Shen Linzhou led the boy inside. Nan Yu had been holding back all the way. It wasn't that he had never been rich before, but his senses were always refreshed each time he entered the world. Being rich or poor felt like experiencing it for the first time.

Based on our current understanding, it's still a bit shocking.

This area...

The house was so new, yet Shen Linzhou had told him it was an old neighborhood. Nan Yu and the other man arrived at the elevator. The corridors felt like a hotel. As the elevator ascended, his heart pounded.

There are more than thirty floors in total.

Shen Linzhou lived on the 26th floor.

It took about a minute to get on the elevator.

The lamp wick was so nervous he was practically scratching his hands. With a ding, the elevator doors opened, and Shen Linzhou made way for him, so Nan Yu had no choice but to go out first.

He thought there would be at least four or three households on the first floor, but it turned out to be one household with two elevators. He couldn't help but cautiously ask, "Is five hundred really okay?"

When Shen Linzhou pressed his fingerprint, he replied, "Okay, the landlord rents me a thousand, so five hundred is a good deal for you."

one thousand?

Compared to his rented apartment, which is in an older neighborhood and costs 2,500 a month for a single room, this place is only 1,000.

Shen Linzhou entered the password, added his fingerprint, and said to Nan Yu, "Come over and let me record your fingerprint so it will be easier for you to come and go later."

The wick went over blankly and placed its thumb on it.

The fingerprint registration was successful after three attempts.

Shen Linzhou opened the door and let Nan Yu in. He guessed that the inside would not be like what he had initially thought, but he was still shocked by just the entrance door.

Looking inside, you can tell that the area is quite large.

Panicked, he gripped the trunk handle tightly, standing motionless in the entryway. Shen Linzhou bent down, took a pair of disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet, placed them beside Deng Xin's feet, and said:

"I haven't made any extra preparations. Just wear these for now, and I'll go buy you a pair this afternoon."

Nan Yu: "Ten thousand?"

Shen Linzhou was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and explained:

“This house was rented to me by a friend of my dad’s. His family lives abroad and it was just sitting empty. I happen to be studying at Peking University, and it’s close by, so I come here to stay on weekends and help them clean. The uncle only charges me a small fee. I don’t have much living expenses each month, so I’ll find a roommate to share the cost.”

Nan Yu: "Are you sure you won't lose out?"

Shen Linzhou: "You can pay an extra two hundred."

Nan Yu nodded: "Okay."

Shen Linzhou smiled, a rare occurrence, leaving Nan Yu stunned.

"Change your shoes, I'll take you to your room."

Nan Yu finished changing her shoes in a daze.

He didn't want to leave the living room, which was decorated in an Italian style and had several Podocarpus macrophyllus trees. He followed Shen Linzhou to the bedroom, which was about three times the size of his rented room. It had a bay window, a single sofa, a row of desks, and several oil paintings on the wall.

Nan Yu suddenly felt that Shen Linzhou was really nice.

Because my family is poor, I applied for a school subsidy last semester.

Such a big house, and decorated so luxuriously. I heard that Podocarpus macrophyllus is very expensive. Even if it's a favor, it's impossible for it to only cost a thousand.

Nan Yu clenched her fist. Shen Linzhou had helped her so much, she had to repay him. If she didn't have money to cook, she would share her money with him.

Shen Linzhou put his suitcase aside, took Nan Yu to the next room, and said:

"This is the dressing room. You can put your clothes here. You'll need to put on makeup for your live stream, so I'll prepare a new set for you. If you feel that your own makeup will fit better, that's fine too."

Nan Yu quickly said, "I'll use my own; I just bought it."

Shen Linzhou nodded.

"If you're going to stream, do you prefer to stream from your study or your gaming room?"

"Whichever one you don't need, I'll use."

Under someone else's roof, and still charging such a small rent, Nan Yu knew how to be humble and subservient. At school, although they were roommates and Shen Linzhou had helped her a few times, they didn't really communicate much.

Nan Yu was still a bit reserved.

Shen Linzhou gave him a general tour to familiarize him with the area.

Nan Yu: "Thank you."

Shen Linzhou maintained his cold expression, and his voice, far from gentle, was rather aloof: "No need to thank me. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"No, do you have any dietary restrictions? I live in such a big house of yours, I can clean for you every day and cook for you."

Shen Linzhou looked at him and said, "Auntie will clean. I don't eat spicy food or seafood."

"Then, let's split it evenly."

"No need, we clean once a week, it's not expensive."

"Ah..." Not knowing what to say, seeing that it was almost noon, she asked Shen Linzhou, "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy groceries and cook it."

Shen Linzhou: "There are vegetables in the refrigerator. Just cook whatever you want to eat."
