Sun Mei was teaching her very diligently and was very satisfied with Lu Xiangxiang's diligence.
Before I knew it, it was time to get off work after I finished tidying up.
The get off work day ended at around 5:30 in the afternoon. When the time came, everyone was ready to leave. Lu Xiangxiang packed up her things but was not in a hurry to leave. She was waiting for Zhou Ziheng.
Zhou Ziheng seemed to be still busy. After about three minutes, everyone left. He stopped working, walked up to her and said, "Let's go."
She nodded, and the two of them walked out of the office and closed and locked the door.
Zhou Ziheng walked in front and Lu Xiangxiang walked behind, about three or four meters apart.
She went out first, and Zhou Ziheng was still getting his bicycle.
The two of them met outside and Zhou Ziheng asked her to get in the car.
The sun was about to set in the evening, and she couldn't help but shiver, as if the weather was getting colder.
It seems I need to put on more clothes when I come over tomorrow, she thought.
Soon Zhou Ziheng took her to an alley. The alley was full of voices because it was dinner time and there were quite a few people around.
Those people were surprised to see the two policemen riding bicycles and looked at them intently.
Under their gaze, Zhou Ziheng drove the car to a courtyard and stopped.
Looking at the well-preserved courtyard in front of me, there was a deep sense of surprise in my eyes.
"Are you saying that all the empty houses should be rented out?"
"No, if you rent this house out, your salary probably can't afford it."
She thought so too. Zhou Ziheng took out the key, opened the door and walked in. This was a two-story house with six rooms in one entrance, two on the left, two on the right, and two in the middle. There was a door in the middle of the two middle rooms so people could pass through.
"Which room do you want?"
"Ah?" She looked at Zhou Ziheng in a trance.
"Which room do you want to rent? You can choose."
She took a look and it seemed that the first wing of these rooms could be rented out, but the second wing must be where the owner lived.
She took a look and chose the two houses on the right side of the entrance. Zhou Ziheng walked to the house and opened the door with the key.
There was a bed and a cabinet inside, but nothing else.
Both houses have rooms that are more than ten square meters in size, which is quite good considering everyone is squeezed into a small house of more than ten square meters.
She was very satisfied with the thought. Zhou Ziheng said, "If we want to cook, we can build a kitchen here."
She nodded. "How is the rent calculated?"
"Three dollars a room, six dollars a month."
What? Six yuan? Living in a courtyard house is so cheap?
"Captain, you're charging me too little. How can these two rooms be worth only ten dollars a month?"
"Don't worry, my friend doesn't need your money," he said casually.
Hearing his words, Lu Xiangxiang's mouth twitched. To be able to own such a house in Kyoto, he was indeed not short of money. Moreover, no one lived in this house at all. It was an empty house.
That is to say, if she and her grandmother move in, there is a piece of open space in front of them that they can use. This place is neither too close nor too far from the workplace. If she has a bicycle, she can get back in ten minutes and rest in the dormitory during the lunch break.
If she missed this village, she would miss this store, so she immediately decided to rent it.
"Okay, Captain, that's all. Thank you, I owe you a favor. How about this, I'll treat you to a meal when I have time."
"Yeah." He didn't refuse.
"Shall I pay you the rent now?" She was a little anxious, fearing that by then Zhou Ziheng would have found someone else to rent the house to and that it would have been rented out to someone else.
"It counts when you ask to move in. This is already yours to rent. Don't worry, no one will snatch it from you." He said casually.
Hearing his words, Lu Xiangxiang's face turned red, feeling that he had seen through her little thoughts.
The girl's fair face was covered with red frost, which looked particularly gorgeous under the setting sun. His eyes changed from cold to deep.
Lu Xiangxiang didn't notice it because she had a filter for this man. In the original novel, he seemed to have no emotional connection with anyone. He was an extremely calm and indifferent man, as if no one could catch his eye. Naturally, she would not be so self-indulgent as to think that a man liked her.
As if to conceal her feelings, she looked towards a certain spot and said, "Would your friends mind if I built a kitchen here?"
"No, actually, there's no need to do that. There's a kitchen in the second entrance that you can use."
"Forget it. The second entrance is the master bedroom. How can I go in there?" She shook her head and rejected this statement.
Zhou Ziheng didn't say much, and the two decided to go back.
This time they returned early, and Zhou Ziheng did not follow her to see her off to the house. He and Lu Xiangxiang parted ways at the fork in the road.
Watching him riding his bicycle away, she thought that this man was not as cold and unkind as described in the original book. Even though he didn't like her and such an embarrassing thing happened to her family, he still took the trouble to send her home.
He never gave her any trouble at work, and he was quite broad-minded. Plus, he was handsome and good at handling cases...
Thump, thump, my heart started beating uncontrollably again.
knock!
Calm down, calm down, this man can't move.
Although she had never had a sweet love in her past life or this life, and was busy before and she is still busy now, she is already twenty years old. Not to mention the current era, her grandmother would not let her be alone, and it is simply unrealistic for her not to get married.
The man she is looking for must be good to her, to her grandmother, and be responsible and capable.
This was her compromise with contemporary society. He was so cold and had never liked anyone in the original novel. Even after changing the ending of his death in the second life, he still died alone. She couldn't stand such a person.
Besides, something bad will happen to their family sooner or later. For the sake of self-preservation, she should not get involved in this mess. She is very selfish and only wants to live in her own little world.
Thinking of this, the slightest trembling disappeared and his face regained its composure.
When I got home, I found that the family was preparing to eat. Lu Yuantao and Liang Huifen were at home, and Lu Zhiyao and Lu Zhiyuan were also there. The family atmosphere was very happy.
"Mom, someone from the Xu family is coming to our house this Sunday to propose marriage. They hope to arrange our marriage." She said to her parents with a blushing face.
"Really? Then I have to ask Aunt Niu to clean the house." Liang Huifen said happily.
"Mom, please give me some money. I want to buy some decent clothes." She begged Liang Huifen.
"Okay, okay, go buy some. Mom might as well go buy some treats for the guests."
"Two hundred yuan for you." Lu Yuantao took out some money and handed it to his daughter, as if letting her buy whatever she wanted.
Lu Zhiyao's eyes lit up, and she rushed over to hug her father: "Thank you, Dad."
Lu Yuantao patted her hands and said, "Okay, okay."
The family is so happy and harmonious that people don’t want to disturb them.
