"Why not? I live alone in this house. The guest bedroom and the study are empty anyway. You'd have to spend money to rent a place. Why bother?"
"You're a man and I'm a woman, so if we live together, wouldn't that be cohabitation?" Zhang Moyan shook her head. "Of course not. Thank you for your kindness, but don't say anything. I've saved some money for rent. I'll go to a few more agencies this afternoon to help me find a place. I'm sure I'll find one that'll pay one month's deposit and one month's rent."
Jin Xueyang didn't force it: "You're such a good girl who values your reputation. I must support you on this. Okay, I'll pay for your meals when you run out of money!"
Zhang Moyan smiled, leaned her head back against the chair, and said calmly, "Actually, the most difficult thing for me right now is not renting a house, but where to put my household registration."
"Hukou?"
"Hmm," Zhang Moyan's chest heaved deeply. "My household registration is currently in the house at Yunshan Garden. If the sale goes through, the new owner will definitely ask me to move my household registration there. My adoptive parents definitely won't accept my household registration moving into their house, and I don't own any property myself... I've learned about the policies at the Talent Center. Only talent introduction and new graduates can register there. So, if I want to keep my household registration in Shenhai, I'll have to find a company that accepts collective household registrations... If that doesn't work out, I'll have to move my household registration to Hangzhou."
Zhang Moyan sighed helplessly, turned her head to look at the skyscrapers passing by outside the window, and for the first time, she felt that the city where she had always lived was so distant.
"Then move your household registration to my house." Jin Xueyang said in silence.
Zhang Moyan was amused. "I move into your house? How can I? We're not direct relatives or siblings, so the police station won't approve it!"
"Why can't we move?" Jin Xueyang said, "We can just get married."
The smile on Zhang Moyan's face froze before he could retract it.
Seeing that she hadn't said anything for a long time, Jin Xueyang waited until a red light and turned around to confirm: "I'm serious. Husband and wife can also seek refuge with each other. You should understand this, right?"
Zhang Moyan was inexplicably angry: "Marriage is not a joke. Why do you think I would use you like this just for a household registration?"
Jin Xueyang shrugged disapprovingly. "What use? My parents keep urging me to go on blind dates and get married. I'm so fed up with it. I really need a wife. Once I have one, they'll stop nagging me."
It turned out that Jin Xueyang wanted to find a shield. Many of his colleagues did the same. They married a wife to give an explanation to their family so that it would be easier for them to fool around in the future.
Zhang Moyan wordlessly pushed Jin Xueyang's face away: "Come on, I will never cooperate with you in going down this path!"
