For the little trickster, this house was the only familiar place in the world.
Although Qin Xiaoxia is a bit hateful, he is the only human being he is familiar with.
But a voice immediately interrupted his gratitude.
"Well, since I'm letting you stay, let's talk about rent and food expenses."
The mischievous elf instinctively felt that something was wrong.
…
After just 10 minutes, the little trickster was already sweating all over.
But it's just a feeling, because the normal temperature difference between the four seasons does not affect him, so there are no sweat glands on his skin.
"Now you understand that in our world, you have to pay to rent someone else's house."
"My house is a newly renovated one, and normal people would never rent it. But you have nowhere else to go, so there is no other way, but the price will be a bit higher."
Qin Xiaoxia shamelessly pointed at his own old house which had been under renovation for at least ten years and said this.
"You can go ask around. It's not easy to rent an apartment these days, not to mention you don't even have an ID card. Plus I have to pay for your meals, so the price will be a little higher."
After that, Qin Xiaoxia enumerated a lot of reasons and troubles of taking in the elves, and talked about them from the perspectives of property expenditure and life safety.
I also searched a lot of rental information on the Internet to prove that I was not exaggerating.
Another ten minutes passed.
"Okay, I've gone through so much trouble and explained enough. Now I'll tell you straight out that the rent is only 1 gold coin a month. The time you stay here before that will be considered as a free gift for my hospitality."
The elf breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, he could still afford one gold coin.
"By the way, the rules for renting a house here are one deposit and three payments or annual payments. I don't need you to pay the deposit, but you must pay the three payments. Plus you have to compensate me for the gold coin I lost when I made a wish, so you have to give me four gold coins in total, hehe!"
Qin Xiaoxia rubbed his hands and snatched the three gold coins from the naughty elf's stiff hands.
"You can leave the remaining one for now. I will help you find a solution."
Once the wishing magic power in the mouth of the Trickster Elf is restored, you can ask him to help you make a wish.
I feel so happy.
The mischievous elf looked at his empty hands in a daze, feeling very insecure.
Qin Xiaoxia played with the gold coins, and after feeling secretly delighted, he did not ignore the elf.
"Let me give you a new name. The previous name is too weird and might attract the attention of scientists. Hmm, let's call you Doudou, which just suits your small size."
The elf instinctively wanted to protest, but he kept quiet in order not to attract the scientist's attention.
However, the slaps on his face kept forming and two small bumps appeared on his face.
After being repeatedly stimulated in such a short period of time, Doudou's mind had become somewhat numb. Gradually, he came to his senses and felt that this abominable guy was so well prepared. He wondered if he had been tricked.
But I am a little angry and I can't deny that I don't have the courage to go out into the world for the time being, and I haven't even paid the rent...
…
Just like that, after a chaotic, busy and thrilling day, Doudou, a visitor from another world, officially moved into Qin Xiaoxia's home.
…
There were quarrels and intermittent fights every day, especially after Doudou gradually came into contact with the Internet, he found that Qin Xiaoxia was completely fooling him in some aspects, no, in many aspects.
Qin Xiaoxia's answer was always confident: "I was just kidding. At most, it was an exaggeration!"
People, or humanoid creatures, can easily develop a sense of dependence on familiar places, especially when these places can shelter them from the wind and rain and provide a comfortable life.
This is especially true for the less courageous.
Qin Xiaoxia's grasp of this point was quite accurate.
So despite the quarrel, Doudou didn't run away. Instead, the two of them got along more and more harmoniously.
…
More than ten days passed with ups and downs, from being wary of hostility to getting to know each other, and then gradually becoming intimate.
Qin Xiaoxia finally couldn't stand Doudou's dirty look anymore.
In the morning, Doudou, who was sleeping with slack eyelids, was woken up by Qin Xiaoxia in the second bedroom.
Since sleeping in such a comfortable bed, Doudou, who has a childish nature, has fallen in love with staying in bed.
Today, as a new member moving into the family, Doudou faces a test that makes him feel very confused.
Something he hadn't experienced many times since he was born - taking a bath.
Although Doudou's activities did not leave much dust and there was not much odor on his body, he still looked dirty to Qin Xiaoxia.
Half an hour after waking up.
Doudou stood outside, looking cautiously at the bathtub filled with water in the bathroom.
The heat from the warm water and the light from the bathroom heater give the whole bathroom a warm feeling.
Qin Xiaoxia was squeezing shower gel onto a bath ball, and after just a few fiddles his hands were covered in foam. He had never used this thing before, but after trying it he felt the effect was okay.
"Come in~"
In the bathroom, Qin Xiaoxia began to urge Doudou to go in.
The latter shook his head and refused to go into the bathroom, but was finally dragged in by Qin Xiaoxia. Even his invisible escape attempt didn't work.
It is worth mentioning that Qin Xiaoxia has discovered that since the exchange of inspiration, his vision has become so abnormal that he can see through Doudou's invisibility and a transparent outline can appear, making Doudou's invisibility completely ineffective in front of him.
Qin Xiaoxia carried her body into the bathtub.
The foam inside kept bursting, and it looked like a tank of poisonous water, not to mention the brushes and other things on the side which were also extremely scary.
Doudou kept shouting.
“Water, water, water, water!!! I’m going to drown~~~~~~~~~~~~Ah~~~~~~~”
“Plop~”
Doudou struggled so hard that he was pushed into the water and had to drink several mouthfuls of soapy water. It felt really bad.
“Clatter, clatter…”
The water was constantly stirred.
Half of Qin Xiaoxia's body was splashed wet.
"Don't move! Don't move! You won't die from taking a bath!"
While applying the bath ball on Doudou's body, I rubbed him vigorously with a soft-bristled brush.
"There's water in my eyes! It hurts so much!!"
"Be patient!"
"No, no, this water is poisonous! You are going to kill me!"
“Clatter, clatter…”
"The poison was washed off your body!"
Qin Xiaoxia also got really excited when showering, biting the shower head to spray water and using both hands to "shoot left and right".
Just don’t let Doudou escape from the bathtub.
The latter had no idea how many mouthfuls of soapy water he had drunk, especially the soapy water at the back which was already grayish black.
I almost choked to death after taking one bite.
Fortunately, although Doudou is a "weakling" in Qin Xiaoxia's eyes, it is essentially an elf with extremely strong vitality.
If someone else had taken a sip, they would probably have died.
In this situation, Doudou did not stop struggling and successfully knocked down the soft-bristle brush several times, but was generally suppressed.
"Bang~"
One of the light bulbs in the bathroom heater was broken by a flying brush, and Qin Xiaoxia was so scared that she quickly ran over to turn off the light.
What if there is a power leakage?
Doudou now realized that he had done something wrong, like a dog that had bitten his owner's shoes and was discovered by his owner. He was a little scared and stayed in the bathtub, not daring to move.
Qin Xiaoxia turned off the bathroom heater light, then turned around with a gloomy face.
"You better give me a good bath from now on. I don't want to have to say it again."
Doudou, who was not afraid of the cold, suddenly felt a little chilly and nodded quickly.
…
A bath lasted almost an hour, and the water was changed between hot and cold for two and a half tanks, and the hot water in the water heater was drained out.
Qin Xiaoxia himself was exhausted.
"Doudou, let's make a rule. From now on, you must take a bath at least once a week, um, once a month. No objections allowed!"
Doudou was wearing a set of children's clothes that Qin Xiaoxia had just bought from the community's old clothes recycling bin, and she kept sniffing the smell on her body with a look of disgust.
Then he sat dejectedly on the sofa, feeling that what he had lost was not the old mud that had accompanied him for many years, but precious wealth.
La shrugged his head and showed no reaction to Qin Xiaoxia's words.
Seeing Doudou like this, he looks just like a shaved cat suffering from depression.
"Okay, I'm going to cook. Today's lunch is going to be very sumptuous. After lunch, I'll take you out to see the world in the afternoon!"
Qin Xiaoxia comforted Doudou with a smile.
The power of food is as strong as ever. Doudou immediately became energetic when he heard about eating.
While the food was cooking, Doudou stood on a stool and watched with curiosity on her face, as if every stir of the spatula was extremely pleasant to the ear.
Occasionally I would swallow my saliva.
Every time Qin Xiaoxia used a spatula to check whether the food was seasoned and cooked, he would give Doudou a little to taste, otherwise the latter would be annoyed for a long time.
