Ninety-six:
Chu Cheng was relieved to see that he had returned to his normal state. He had long been worried that Ji Qingzhou would cross the line and develop feelings for him, so he had taken away Ji Qingzhou's initiative for a while, but later, because he didn't want him to feel bad, he gave him the initiative back.
Last night, after Ji Qingzhou fell asleep, Chu Cheng hugged him and kept thinking about his words "I dreamed that you left". He didn't expect Ji Qingzhou to cry because he dreamed that he left. He cried when he dreamed that he left, so what if their contract expired and they really had to separate? Would Ji Qingzhou also feel so uncomfortable?
Whenever Chu Cheng thought of this possibility, he became upset for no reason. He did not sleep well that night, and did not get up on time to go to the company in the morning. He looked at the person in his arms, and his heart was filled with depression as if it was going to rain.
Fortunately, Ji Qingzhou returned to his usual self after waking up, but Chu Cheng was not sure whether he was really fine or just pretending to be fine. He had never been in love or liked anyone since he was a child. He was afraid that Ji Qingzhou would like him, and he was also afraid that Ji Qingzhou would feel bad when they left.
He sighed silently, threw back the quilt and got out of bed.
The two of them had dinner together as usual. Seeing that he had nothing to do, Chu Cheng went to the company. Ji Qingzhou sat on the sofa, thinking quietly for a while, took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Lian Jingxing and Ying Nian: I will move in a month and want to rent a house. Do you have any reliable house recommendations? Thank you.
Lian Jingxing was probably busy, so he didn't reply to him, but Ying Nian called him quickly and asked, "You want to find a house."
Ji Qingzhou nodded, "Yes."
His contract with Chu Cheng officially ended at the end of August or the beginning of September. With his current fame, the house that the original owner rented was no longer suitable, and he needed to find a new area with a better security system. However, he did not intend to let Chu Cheng know about this, so he could only consult Lian Jingxing and Ying Nian. Otherwise, he could ask Zhou Chengfeng and Yu Anyi.
"Yes, there is," Ying Nian said, "But, didn't you ask Chu Cheng? He must have a more reliable one."
"I didn't ask him. I didn't want to trouble him." Ji Qingzhou said.
He had already troubled Chu Cheng a lot during the contract period. Now that the contract is about to end, he doesn't want to trouble Chu Cheng anymore - he has to get used to life without Chu Cheng.
Ying Nian instinctively knew something must have happened between them, but since Ji Qingzhou and Chu Cheng had always treated them as brothers, he did not ask too much, so he said, "The downstairs of the house I live in now is for rent. If you are interested, you can come and take a look. The neighborhood environment is good, the security system is also good, one elevator per household, and the elevator goes directly to the door."
Ji Qingzhou thought it was okay, "Then I'll go over and take a look now."
"Are you in such a hurry?"
"If it's suitable, I'd like to settle down right away." Ji Qingzhou said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I might move there in September."
"Is that so? Then come over here."
"good."
Ying Nian hung up the phone and looked at his phone. He always felt strange. Why did Ji Qingzhou suddenly want to rent a house? He even asked himself? Chu Cheng should have a lot of houses under his name. Why would he let him rent a house? Ying Nian didn't understand it very well. He just hoped that he was overthinking.
Ji Qingzhou came quickly. He put on some disguises to make himself look less like himself on the screen. Ying Nian smiled for a long time when he saw his appearance and took him downstairs to see the house.
The owner of the house downstairs left the house to his sister because he was going abroad. His sister was not very old and was attending college. She lived on campus during the week and went home during the holidays, so she put this room up for rent. She was not short of money, and seeing that Ying Nian and Ji Qingzhou were good-looking, she did not offer a high price, and said kindly, "If you rent for a long time, you can get a discount."
Ji Qingzhou looked around. The house was quite big, nearly 100 square meters, with a master bedroom, two secondary bedrooms, two guest bedrooms, and a study. Although the whole house was large, it had a reasonable layout, was decorated very warmly, and was priced very favorably. Moreover, Yingnian lived upstairs, so he could be taken care of.
He thought it was a good idea and planned to rent it for half a year. This period of time was not too long, but the landlord's sister still gave him a small deduction for the rent and signed an agreement with him.
"We will be neighbors from now on." Ying Nian said.
Ji Qingzhou nodded, "Maybe I'll have to ask you to take care of me."
"Okay." Ying Nian looked at the watch, "Shall we eat? It's time for dinner."
"I'll treat you, as a thank you for helping me find the house."
"Alright."
The two of them went out to have dinner.
During the meal, Lian Jingxing finally replied to Ji Qingzhou's WeChat: I was just filming, do you want to rent a house? Does Chu Cheng know?
Ji Qingzhou replied: He doesn’t know, I didn’t talk to him.
Lian Jingxing didn't quite understand: Did you have a fight? Otherwise, why didn't you fight with him?
Ji Qingzhou: We didn’t have a quarrel, it’s just that I am also an independent individual and I don’t need to bother him with every matter.
