As soon as Su Xiao and Huang Feiyan got off the train, they were amazed by the bustling scene of Kyoto.
The pedestrians coming and going on the street are well-dressed, the buildings are tall, and the roads are wide...
"Xiaoxiao." Huang Feiyan was a little excited and unconsciously grabbed Su Xiao's arm.
Su Xiao was also visiting for the first time. Having lived both her past and present lives, she was filled with curiosity about this city. She smiled and said, "Let's go, let's find a guesthouse to stay in first, and then explore at our leisure."
Because they had university acceptance letters, they found a guesthouse and settled in without any problems. Then, they started to wander around.
Of course, if Huang Feiyan was really just strolling around, then Su Xiao was anything but idle.
After several days of exploration, Su Xiao marked several key areas in Kyoto, preparing to inquire further, first renting a house, and then buying it if a suitable one came along.
Kyoto Medical School and Kyoto University are not too far apart, so the two planned to find a house that was about the same distance from both schools.
Instead of wandering around asking questions like a headless fly, Su Xiao went directly to the street office to inquire. Sure enough, when the clerk heard that they were college students who wanted to rent or buy a house, he was surprised.
"Buy a house?" The junior officer looked surprised.
"Yes." Su Xiao nodded. "My family found out I got into university and scraped together some money for me. They hope I can stay in Kyoto after graduation."
Upon hearing this explanation, the junior officer found it reasonable and understood. After thinking for a moment, he said, "These days, you can't just buy and sell houses unless it's a transfer or inheritance between relatives. Here's what I'll do: I'll keep an eye out for you and contact you if there's a suitable place. As for renting, that's easy. I have two places here. Come on, I'll take you to see them."
"Okay, thank you, comrade." Su Xiao immediately thanked him as soon as he heard there was a chance.
"Just call me Xiao Liu." Officer Liu is only in his early twenties, yet he managed to get a job at the subdistrict office, which means he has some connections.
“Okay, Comrade Liu,” Su Xiao said with a smile.
"Haha." Officer Liu led the two men through two streets and pointed to a house. "We're here."
It's a small courtyard house in a somewhat awkward location, jutting out at a bend in the road. There's usually a lot of foot traffic, so it's probably a bit noisy.
Su Xiao looked at it and liked it more and more. "I think this place is pretty good. I wonder if the landlord will sell it?"
Actually, she had her own agenda. She figured that this location would definitely be demolished in the future, so buying it would be a good deal.
If she doesn't want it demolished, she'll rebuild it herself and turn it into a shopping mall.
Officer Liu was taken aback. "Shall I ask him for you?"
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Comrade Xiao Liu." Su Xiao smiled.
Liu was captivated by that smile, momentarily stunned, then nodded blankly before actively contacting the landlord.
Unfortunately, in the end, the landlord only rented it out and didn't sell it.
The second place was in a tenement building. Su Xiao took a look and immediately shook her head.
A small courtyard house costs 10 yuan per month, while a tenement building costs 5 yuan per month—a difference of exactly double.
However, the small courtyard house was five times the size of the tenement building, and Su Xiao was not one to compromise herself, so she immediately decided to rent the courtyard house.
The courtyard house was fairly clean, with three main rooms, two side rooms on each side, a jujube tree in the yard, and some furniture inside, so you could move in immediately.
Su Xiao and Huang Feiyan were both very satisfied and readily signed the contract, settling down here temporarily.
When Su Xiao saw Officer Liu off, she specially slipped him a red envelope, asking him to help keep an eye out for available properties.
