The next day, perhaps the torrential rain of the previous day washed away all the filth.
Today was exceptionally sunny, with clear skies and not a cloud in sight; the azure sky resembled a crystal-clear sapphire.
Chu Zhiye got up early and started packing his luggage. Since Limin Lane Community was not far from his home and he could go home at any time, he didn't pack too much, just a few seasonal clothes, daily necessities, and a camera.
After packing all the items into the suitcase, I turned around and saw Zhong Tingyue standing at the door, a hint of reluctance on her face.
A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles.
Although it wasn't a thousand miles, Zhong Tingyue was still reluctant to leave.
Chu Zhi also comforted Zhong Tingyue: "Mother, I often come home to see you, it's just a few steps away."
"Then it's a deal, you have to come home to see me."
"certainly."
"Let's pinky swear."
"Pinky promise, a hundred years apart, no exceptions, whoever breaks it is a dog." The mother and son made this pact.
Chu Fang passed by and couldn't help but roll his eyes: "No matter what you two agree to, I'm a human being!"
This mother and son are dogs, they want to become dogs themselves, and they're dragging the whole family together.
Chu Zhi finished packing her things and then left home with her suitcase.
Looking at his wife's reluctant expression, Chu Fang pouted and said, "Chu Zhi is leaving, not dying."
“You didn’t give birth to it, so naturally you have no feelings for it.” Zhong Tingyue glared at him angrily. “You heartless person.”
"I also deserve some credit for that."
“One percent.” Zhong Tingyue pinched her little finger.
Upon hearing this, Chu Fang became furious: "Zhong Tingyue, you're insulting me!"
"If you're so capable, let's have a match."
Chu Fang put his hands behind his back and walked towards the vegetable garden: "Incompetent."
"Tch~~~"
Twenty years ago, Chu Fang would have definitely sparred with Zhong Tingyue, but now... ...no.
I'm getting old...
... ...
Chu Zhi also took a taxi to Limin Lane Community. As soon as he entered the community, he saw Grandma Bao and several other old ladies chatting in the sun.
He greeted her with a smile, "Grandma Bao."
Before Old Mrs. Bao could answer, the old lady who had the missing tooth last time said, "Why are you here again? You scoundrel Sun, you really are a scoundrel! I'm going to arrest you."
Grandma Bao explained, "You really don't use your brain. They're tenants here."
"Tenant? Get out!" the toothless old lady blurted out.
Fortunately, Grandma Bao stopped the toothless old lady and looked at Chu Zhiye, her eyes narrowing into slits: "Oh, handsome young man. You've moved in."
"Okay," Chu Zhiye said. "I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."
"Hey, we're all neighbors, that's for sure." Grandma Bao waved her hand, and added, "Whether we're rich or poor, we're all good neighbors."
Chu Zhi also dragged his luggage away.
The toothless old woman glared at the old woman, saying angrily, "Why did you stop me from arresting that thief? Are you in cahoots with him? No wonder my lighter went missing a few days ago, did you steal it? Well, I didn't realize you were a petty thief too!"
Grandma Bao slapped the toothless old lady on the forehead, and the latter covered her forehead, saying, "It hurts, don't hit me, I don't want to play with you anymore."
... ...
Chu Zhiye arrived at the rented house and gently knocked on the door.
Today is Saturday, a day off, and Xu Man is at home.
The door opened, and Xu Man was immediately seen with her long hair casually draped over her shoulders, a few strands sticking up playfully due to static electricity, the ends slightly curled. On her fair face, a pair of large, clear eyes shone brightly.
Beneath her high, straight nose, her lips curved slightly upward, carrying a contented smile.
She was dressed in casual home clothes and a pair of light blue fluffy slippers. The sunlight shone down on her without reservation, giving her a soft golden edge, making her look lazy and casual.
Chu Fang couldn't help but sigh at the complexity of human nature.
Every time I see Xu Man, she seems to give me a different feeling.
"Am I beautiful?" Xu Man leaned against the door. "Look at me."
Chu Zhi also thought of a famous quote, and his gaze naturally slid down to those straight and slender beautiful legs...
"Pervert!" Xu Man spat out the two words.
"You showed it to me."
"You'll only look if I tell you to?"
Chu Zhi paused for a second before replying, "We cannot go against a woman's wishes."
Chu Zhiye entered the house and was greeted by an ordinary house, a classic three-bedroom, one-living room house, about 100 square meters, with a balcony and a sofa on the balcony.
Limin Lane is an old residential area. The exterior is dilapidated, but the interior is decorated quite exquisitely.
Xu Man pointed to a room on the right and said, "This room is yours."
Chu Zhi also entered the room, looked around, and nodded.
The house is well-lit, with sunlight filling the entire room, and it's clean and tidy.
It was obvious that Xu Man had already cleaned it once.
Chu Zhi immediately opened his luggage and placed his personal belongings in the room, while Xu Man leaned against the door with her arms crossed, watching his every move.
Seeing that Chu Zhi only had one box, Xu Man raised an eyebrow: "Why do you only have so little stuff?"
He immediately slapped his forehead: "Oh, I forgot, you've fallen so low as to beg at the airport, how could you possibly have too much stuff?"
"You only have a few clothes. Let me take you to buy some."
Chu Zhi also replied, "No."
"I'll pay for your bill."
"No, I don't want that either."
"Quite arrogant."
