Chen Fan squatted on the steps in front of the dormitory, resting while thinking about what to do next.

He now has two choices.

First, go find Ma Xiaoshuai. This guy lives in Yunhai and you can stay at his house for the night.

Second, go to the hotel.

Of course there is a third way, which is to go to the Starry Sky Internet Cafe opposite the school and live in the office.

Thinking of this Chen Fan, I felt regretful for a moment.

If I had known, I would have installed a single bed in the office in advance.

It's too late to regret now, you can go first.

So Chen Fanneng dragged his two suitcases and walked out of the school.

It takes at least half an hour to walk to the school gate, and the thought of it gives me a headache.

Chen Fan couldn't go to Ma Xiaoshuai's house because he didn't want to cause trouble for others.

So he decided to stay in a hotel.

Stay in the hotel for three days first and wait for the dormitory building to open before moving back.

However, when he arrived at the campus propaganda column, Chen Fan suddenly changed his mind.

Because he saw a rental advertisement on the promotional poster.

It said there was an 85-square-meter, two-bedroom, one-living room house for rent.

What surprised Chen Fan was that the house was inside the Yunhai University campus.

Chen Fan understood immediately.

There is one type of situation where you can own a house on campus, and that is the teacher's apartment building.

The person who posted this rental advertisement should be a teacher from Yunhai University.

It also says on the cover that the apartment is fully equipped with water, electricity, heating, fans and air conditioning, so you can move in with just your luggage.

To be honest, Chen Fan was a little tempted when he saw this advertisement.

In fact, he had considered moving out of the dormitory and renting a house outside.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to live with his roommates.

But according to Chen Fan's plan, he will prepare to make a major effort on the Internet next year.

By then, I will need a computer and need to write programs and codes frequently, which will definitely be inconvenient in the dormitory.

Originally, Chen Fan was considering renting a house in the community opposite the school.

But now, seeing that there are houses for rent in the teacher's apartment, Chen Fan is somewhat tempted.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Fan decisively dialed the number on the dial.

The phone rang a few times, and it was answered by a nice female voice.

"Hello, I just saw the rental advertisement you posted. I want to consult about the house."

"Are you a boy?"

The woman on the other end was obviously stunned for a moment, as if a little surprised.

Chen Fan was even more surprised.

"Is it not okay for boys? I don't see anything on your website that says it's for girls."

The woman explained, “I’m sorry. I may have forgotten to write it.”

"My house is a little special. I plan to rent it to girls first..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan immediately said, "I see. Sorry to bother you."

"Wait a minute!"

The woman suddenly called out to Chen Fan, seemingly having a psychological struggle.

It took a few seconds before he spoke.

"Um...are you sure you want to rent this house?"

Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I have to see what the house is like first before I can decide whether to rent it or not, right?"

The woman was a little embarrassed.

"Are you in school now?"

"Yes, I'm here on the notice board."

"Then can you wait for me for half an hour? I'll be back in half an hour and take you to see the house."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "No problem."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan thought about it and decided to drag his suitcase towards the teachers' apartment area in the east.

The so-called teachers' apartments are actually a piece of land that the school has allocated in the undeveloped area east of the campus to provide accommodation for teachers, and then built several multi-story small buildings.

These houses are not sold to the outside world, but are sold to teachers of this school at internal prices.

Chen Fan has been in college for almost half a year, and this is his first time to come to the teacher's apartment.

To be honest, the environment here is really nice.

Silent.

A gray-white Hui-style wall separates the teachers' apartment from the campus. On one side is the apartment building, and on the other side are the basketball and badminton courts.

Because he didn't know which building the other person lived in, Chen Fan stopped at the door of the apartment and watched a few graduate students playing basketball in the snow in the distance.

More than two minutes.

A woman in a white down jacket came here on a bicycle.

What a beautiful girl.

Even though the other person was wearing a down jacket and a loose hat, Chen Fan could still tell that she was a beauty.

"Are you going to rent my house?"

"Yes. My name is Chen Fan."

Chen Fan introduced himself with a smile.

The woman curiously glanced at the suitcase Chen Fan placed at his feet.

Chen Fan quickly explained: "That's right. I came too early and the dormitory door is not open yet."

"I was originally planning to stay in a hotel, but I happened to see your rental ad on the bulletin board."

The woman nodded and said, "Come with me."

Leading Chen Fan all the way to the front of one of the buildings, the woman took out the key to open the unit door, and Chen Fan dragged the suitcase in.

"Put the box here for now. I'll go take a look first."

Women's room on the third floor. To be honest, Chen Fan was a little stunned when he entered the room.

Because he originally thought it was an ordinary house with two bedrooms, a living room and more than 80 square meters.

But after entering, he found that it was actually a duplex building.

The house has a loft.

However, the attic staircase is inside the room.

Go up the stairs on the side of the living room, and the next floor is the attic.

Moreover, the 80-plus square meters, two bedrooms and one living room mentioned in the woman's advertisement is the area downstairs.

The attic area of ​​the building is not taken into account at all.

This surprised Chen Fan a little.

"You...are you renting the unit downstairs? The attic on the floor..."

"I won't rent out the attic. I'll live there myself."

Chen Fan was stunned again.

"Do you still want to stay?"

Chen Fan immediately understood. No wonder he called home and said he wanted to rent the house to a girl.

There is also this level of relationship involved in relationships.

As if she had sensed Chen Fan's embarrassment, the woman took the initiative to explain.

"You can rest assured about the house."

"This house belongs to my parents. They are retired teachers from the school."

"But my mother was recently hospitalized and needed money urgently for surgery. That's why I wanted to rent the house."

Chen Fan understood a little.

"But you said you were planning to rent it to a girl..."

The woman interrupted Chen Fan, "What do you think? Do you want to take a look first?"

"If you really want to rent it, I can rent it to you."

"But I have one condition. The rent deposit is one month, and it must be paid for a year."

When she said this, the woman pursed her lips, obviously not daring to look Chen Fan in the eye.

Chen Fan understood immediately.

It seems that this woman is really short of money.

Even the harsh requirement of one year's payment has been raised.

No wonder they don't rent out the attic in such a big house, but instead rent out the largest floor of the house, because they can collect more rent that way.

"Let me take a look at the house first."

Chen Fan walked around the house.

To be honest, although the house is a bit old, it is well maintained and it seems that the owner takes good care of it and keeps it clean.

The room was spotless and everything was neatly arranged.

Most importantly, there is an Internet connection in the bedroom.

These days, it's rare to find a house with an Internet connection.

After walking around, Chen Fan really started to like this house.

The woman explained: "Although the house is a bit old, my parents usually take good care of it."

"You can see that there is basically no damage to the house, and all the furniture is complete. You can move in right away."

Chen Fan turned his head and looked at the other party.

"You haven't told me yet, how much does this house cost to rent per month?"

"Seven hundred."

Chen Fan's brows suddenly frowned.

“It’s expensive.”
