Qiao Xiaoni breathed a sigh of relief as she stuffed the bed sheet into her bag; she was finally done packing.
"It's just that renting a house costs money, but food isn't necessarily more expensive than at school. You can cook whatever you want to eat at home."
The food in the school cafeteria might not suit my taste. Besides, it's inconvenient for my boyfriend to eat alone while living off-campus, and I don't want him to suffer too much.
After listening, Zhou Meiling seemed to be thinking about it. Actually, living outside is quite good, as personal privacy can be well protected.
Then she remembered that she and Sun Jie hadn't gotten their marriage certificate yet, and if they lived together, there was a high chance they would have an affair. The idea of renting a place outside was instantly dismissed.
Sun Jie had a different idea in mind: they could also rent a place to live outside.
He had heard from others that the food in the school cafeteria was very expensive, and he couldn't keep asking Zhou Meiling for money, so he had to find a way himself.
Living together is a different story; who knows if he's spending a woman's money! I decided to have a good talk with Zhou Meiling when I got off the bus later.
The train has come to a complete stop.
Su Chenhao took most of the luggage, leaving only a small bag, which Qiao Xiaoni carried behind him.
Sun Jie wanted to please Zhou Meiling, so he took everything in his hands, and carried it on his shoulder if he couldn't carry it all.
Zhou Meiling suddenly felt a warmth in her heart, realizing that this man wasn't so bad after all.
After getting off the train, they lined up to have their tickets checked, and after exiting the main gate, the four of them officially parted ways and walked in opposite directions.
Su Chenhao found the information while reading the newspaper on the train, and learned that there was an area for rent near the university.
“I know where there are places to rent. Let’s take a taxi there. Once we get there, I’ll go find a place. You can stay here and wait for me.”
"Mm," Qiao Xiaoni replied, trusting that Su Chenhao could handle everything.
After getting into the taxi, Su Chenhao told the driver his exact location.
The driver glanced back at them, then stepped on the gas and started the car. The car stopped at a traffic light.
"Are you renting a place there?"
Su Chenhao turned to look at the driver and said, "Yes, we're looking for a house."
"What kind of house are you looking for? I know a few homeowners, see if there's a house that suits your needs."
"At least one bedroom and one living room, two bedrooms and one living room would be even better. The house shouldn't be too old, and I hope the sound insulation is good."
"The surrounding area is relatively safe. Are there any houses like this?" Su Chenhao expressed his thoughts.
"Your requirements are quite high. There are houses like this, but they're expensive! Can you accept a rent of 80 yuan a month?" the driver asked with a smile.
The red light had passed, and he quickly stepped on the gas to start the car. Judging from their attire, they probably couldn't afford a place like this.
After considering it, Su Chenhao asked, "Could you take us to see the house? Does it come furnished?"
"The furniture is included; it's old-fashioned furniture, so it won't interfere with use, but the surface certainly won't be aesthetically pleasing."
"Looking at the house is fine, but I have a question: are you really renting it out?" The driver was skeptical, feeling that they couldn't afford it. That was 80 yuan! He worked himself to the bone for half a month to earn 80 yuan.
Su Chenhao nodded: "We'll rent as long as the house is good. Also, the house must be close to the university; that's a must."
Driver: "Okay, I trust you because of your straightforward answer. My relative has a house that perfectly matches your requirements, a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment."
The renovation is alright, but the rent requires a deposit of one month's rent plus three months' rent in advance. Just so you know, you have to pay four months' rent upfront!
