"Do you think that me taking a beating for her in Luxi is a sign that I like her?"
"Yes... if someone didn't like it, why would they be willing to go to such lengths?"
I spread my hands, then put them down, and replied to her with a hint of helplessness, "Believe it or not, if the same thing happened to you, I would have done the same thing... My choice in this matter is not because she is Ye Zhi, but because of the sense of right and wrong that I have formed since I was a child... Think about it, last time when that hooligan spat on you, didn't I grab a stick and go down and smash his head open... The consequences of that were much more serious than being beaten; I would have faced imprisonment... I didn't think that much about it either."
Yang Sisi's gaze finally changed as she looked at me. After a moment of silence, she said, "You really didn't do this because you like Ye Zhi?"
"I've already explained it very clearly. If you still don't believe me, then I really can't convince you."
"You..."
Yang Sisi hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
What's wrong with me?
"Forget it, I won't say it... It's disgusting to talk about it!"
I looked at her, then laughed and replied, "I already have enough flaws. If you dig up another one for me, I'll feel like I'm completely worthless... so it's better not to say anything."
Yang Sisi looked me up and down before finally replying, "A person doesn't like another person for no reason... but I'm the kind of person who's blind to it."
I looked at her, but dared not speak, because I felt guilty.
A moment later, Yang Sisi said to me again, "I'll ask you one last time, do you want to stay here or not?"
I hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes, but I definitely can't come now."
"I'll wait for you as long as you come."
Hearing the word "wait" suddenly changed my mood, which had been calming down. Although I don't have many friends, I've seen many people ruined by this word "wait," so I don't really like it anymore, and I especially dislike making others wait for me.
This feeling is actually quite contradictory...
My gaze softened as I looked at Yang Sisi. After a long while, I finally said to her, "You don't need to wait, I'll come by myself... Because you've piqued my curiosity, I really want to figure out the value of this house... But we need to talk about the rent... The rent for this house is just outrageous!"
"What's so scary about a few thousand dollars?"
"I just saw the rental ad... The rent for an apartment like this would be at least ten thousand yuan a month... That's about four thousand yuan a month per room, which is already over budget for me, Tie Nan, and Tao Zi."
"I told you, I never expected you to pay rent."
"We are not the kind of people who like to take advantage of others."
“That’s simple… You can sell your labor to pay the rent, and then we’ll take turns being in charge, with me being your boss.”
How can I sell my labor to you?
"You'll know when you get here..."
