"Squad Leader Jiang, what are you doing here at this hour?!"
The girl's words plunged Jiang Zhixing into a brief silence.
Through the moonlight, he could see the shocked expression on Su Xiao's face, and for some reason, he suddenly felt like laughing.
He chuckled softly, unaware that the girl's inexplicable laughter had aroused his suspicion.
She shrank back and stammered, "You should go home quickly, otherwise your parents will definitely worry."
Jiang Zhixing's smile froze, and he slowly composed himself, pursing his lips as he asked, "You live around here?"
“Yes, I rented a place here. It’s closer to the school,” Su Xiangxin said, unaware of his unusual behavior. “You should go back quickly. Don’t do such dangerous things again. The lake is frozen over. You’ll fall in and hurt yourself badly.”
Jiang Zhixing: "..."
He froze completely, never expecting the lake to freeze over.
“There are no streetlights here at night, and it’s about a ten-minute walk to get out. The road is winding and twisty. If you can’t find it, I’ll walk you out,” Su Xiangxin said, mustering her courage.
Actually, she was always afraid to walk this road at night, but Jiang Zhixing was her savior, so she thought it was her way of repaying him by taking him home.
This was the first time Jiang Zhixing had been cared for, and the feeling was quite strange. The girl's incessant chatter didn't bother him at all.
"Thank you, Su. Have you always been such a kind-hearted person?" Jiang Zhixing looked at the girl who only reached his heart, her lowered eyes revealing no emotion in the darkness.
Su Xiangxin bit her lip, looked up at him, and tried to see if he was mocking her.
At this point, she realized that she might be being presumptuous and annoying people.
He quickly explained, "I'm sorry, Jiang, I didn't mean anything by it. Please don't misunderstand. I just asked you a few more questions because we're classmates."
She bit her lip, her eyes shimmering as if covered with a layer of mist.
"Then I'll be going now. You should also call your bodyguard to pick you up. This road might not be safe." She said this all she wanted to say, feeling very disappointed.
If I do this, Jiang shouldn't misunderstand that I have ulterior motives, right?
"When you say these things, shouldn't you let go of my clothes?" Jiang Zhixing said calmly.
Su Xiangxin was startled, hurriedly let go of his hand, and apologized repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, I forgot, I'm so sorry..."
"Where do you live?" Jiang Zhixing interrupted her incessant chatter.
Su Xiangxin was taken aback, not understanding why Jiang Zhixing asked this, but she still pointed in a direction in the darkness.
Jiang Zhixing glanced at him and nodded. "Let's go."
He walked ahead on his own, and Su Xiangxin was completely taken aback by his reaction. After standing still for several seconds, the boy finally realized what was happening when he stopped and looked back at her, and quickly followed.
She wanted to ask something, but remembering Jiang's aloof personality, she kept quiet.
Two figures, one tall and one short, moved through the alley until Su Xiangxin stopped in front of a low, old-fashioned door.
“I live here. Thank you, Jiang, for bringing me back. You’re a good person.” Her voice was soft and her tone sincere.
Jiang Zhixing surveyed the low-ceilinged courtyard but ultimately offered no further comment. As for Su Xiao's "good person" card, he smiled slightly and asked, "You live alone?"
Su Xiangxin was puzzled, but still answered seriously, "Yes, this yard is big enough for me to live in."
Jiang Zhixing: "How many rooms and living rooms does it have?"
"Three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and two bathrooms." Su Xiangxin looked up in confusion: "Is there a problem, Jiang?"
Why would they inquire about her family situation? They don't seem to know each other that well. Su Xiangxin was extremely puzzled, but she didn't ask.
Jiang Zhixing understood: "Do you usually rent out the house?"
Su Xiangxin: "..." I have absolutely no idea what the class monitor, who is always aloof and arrogant, is up to.
"What are your plans?" she asked anxiously, nervously wringing her hands.
"Hmm, can I rent it? I can pay several times the market price," Jiang Zhixing said.
Su Xiangxin was completely stunned. No way, young master, why are you leaving your big villa of over a thousand square meters to come and join the fun in her poor, remote little house?
"You're joking, right? Haha..." Su Xiangxin chuckled dryly.
“I never joke around. Open Alipay, I’ll scan your code,” he paused, “I can tutor you, and we can walk home together tonight. It’s a dark road, so it’ll be safer with me there. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything else to you.”
Su Xiangxin: "..." What's going on? I'm starting to feel a little tempted.
This is the top student in the grade! She's really making a killing by having him tutor her! Getting into Tsinghua or Peking University is a piece of cake!
As for Jiang Xueshen's character, it can still be guaranteed.
"Why don't you rent it for a day or two first? I have all the bedding I need. I'm afraid you'll regret it," Su Xiangxin suggested.
Jiang Zhixing did not respond: "Alipay."
Su Xiangxin: "..." I've never seen anyone rush someone after paying them.
Then she heard the sound of '100,000' arriving in her Alipay account.
Su Xiangxin's eyes widened in shock: "Class monitor, you've given too much!!"
"Consider the rest your reward." The reward for pulling him out of his predicament.
Su Xiangxin was even more puzzled. What exactly had Jiang Zhixing gone through tonight?
He seemed really strange.
"Please come in! You can choose any of the three bedrooms. If you want to stay in the master bedroom, I can move out right away!" Su Xiangxin greeted Jiang Zhixing warmly with a smile and welcomed him into the house.
From now on, Jiang Zhixing will be her tenant! She should treat him well, after all, he gives her so much money.
Jiang Zhixing: "..."
Looking at the excited girl, he was puzzled for a moment. Was 100,000 yuan really worth making her so happy?
...
After playing games with Pei Wenqing in the living room downstairs until 10:30, Shen Linyue returned to her bedroom to rest.
If it weren't for the fact that school starts tomorrow, Pei Wenqing would have dragged the two of them into a duel until dawn.
Of course, with Pei Wenqing around, He Xiao's relationship with her was no longer so strained. Although she was still stubborn, Shen Linyue could still feel the boy's intentional or unintentional closeness to her.
It's a different kind of closeness towards her aunt.
She collapsed onto the bed, a slight smile playing on her lips, before finally remembering to check her phone for messages.
Su Xiangxin sent her more than a dozen WeChat messages two minutes ago.
Shen Linyue was so frightened that she instantly woke up and sat up in bed, afraid that something might happen to Su Xiangxin.
After clicking in and taking a closer look, I realized...
A secretly taken photo appeared prominently at the top, but that's not the point. The point is that the person in the photo is Jiang Zhixing.
Shen Linyue: ?!
The male and female leads were actually sneaking around the plot behind her back?!
[Jiang Zhixing has suddenly gone crazy and wants to rent my courtyard [feeling wronged]]
【We're going to be roommates from now on, oh my god, I'm so uncomfortable! I feel so out of place just seeing him standing in my yard. Is this some kind of rich kid experiencing the hardships of life? [smile]】
[...]
After going through each and every line to understand the whole story, Shen Linyue thought, "..." I'm starting to really want to ship you two. :)
