The New Neighbor Text Chapter 020



020

"No need. The clinic is quite close to my home. It's very convenient for me to ride there and back. And I don't want my colleagues or neighbors to misunderstand."

Faced with the sincerity of the guard, Xu Qiao smiled and politely declined.

Registration costs points, and sending her away costs time and energy. Even if Jiang Rui pays voluntarily, it will still put pressure on Xu Qiao.

Jiang Rui understood, nodded and walked out of the consulting room, closing the door behind him, leaving Xu Qiao with a straight silhouette.

Xu Qiao stared at the door for a few seconds.

Counting today, Jiang Rui has only seen her twice, so he probably likes her appearance very much.

Xu Qiao knows that she is good-looking, but with Jiang Rui's family background, if she wants to get married, there should be no shortage of beautiful blind date options. Since she just said it, Jiang Rui probably won't come to her again? On Friday ,

it was Xu Qiao's turn to work the night shift again. After Lu Yang went to school, Xu Qiao put on his sportswear and prepared to go out for a morning run.

When she was closing the door, the door of 102 behind her was pushed open from the inside. Xu Qiao turned around while putting away the key, and greeted Qin Chi, who was wearing a gray shirt, with a smile: "Are you going to school?"

Qin Chi nodded and followed her out: "It's Xiaoyang's birthday this weekend. I want to give him a gift. Do you have any suggestions?"

Xu Qiao thought for a while and laughed: "A set of college entrance examination simulation questions?" It's

a very old joke. , but when Xu Qiao looked up to see Qin Chi, he found that the military school teacher stopped and had a serious expression as if he was considering submitting test questions.

Xu Qiao: "...I'm joking, he probably won't like such a gift."

The little landlord was a little embarrassed. Qin Chi looked down with gentle eyes: "You guessed it, I'm just cooperating with you."

Xu Qiao: "... ..."

She walked forward, and the moment she stepped out of the unit door, the bright and dazzling sunlight came over her with a sense of invasion, and Xu Qiao closed his eyes subconsciously.

The next second, Yaoyang was replaced by a figure, and it was Qin Chi blocking her side.

"It's just seven o'clock, and it's been so sunny here in the morning." Qin Chi naturally mentioned the difference in sunlight between the two bases.

Xu Qiao: "Cherish it, the rainy season will be here in one month, and you may not be able to see the sun for more than 20 days."

Lotus is an aquatic plant, but it likes sufficient light. Xu Qiao also enjoys summer. Sunbathing in the morning.

After saying that, she took a deep breath of the fresh air brought by the green courtyard, and while running onto the concrete street in front, she turned around and waved to Qin Chi: "I'm leaving now, see you later."

Qin Chi nodded with a smile, and waited. The energetic little landlady turned the corner at the next street in one breath before he released the car.

Xu Qiao ran twenty kilometers around the community. While taking a shower, she suddenly remembered that she forgot to give advice to her polite neighbors.

What does Lu Yang like?

In fact, Xu Qiao was not very clear. She remembered that Lu Yang, who was five or six years old, liked to eat strawberries or other delicious snacks. But since she went to middle school, she would go out early and come back late every day. When she came home, she would read and do homework. After she was admitted to the military academy, she would She only went home once a week to take care of the courtyard. In this way, she spent less and less time with the boy next door who grew taller and taller.

Lu Yang's personality was more stable and independent, and he would no longer openly express what he liked or disliked carelessly. Xu Qiao even suspected that even if she made a super unpleasant dinner, Lu Yang would pretend to eat it as if nothing had happened. clean.

Leaning on the wicker chair on the balcony to dry her hair, Xu Qiao sent a message to Qin Chi: [He has grown taller recently, and I am going to give him a new set of clothes. What do you mean, continue to send shoes? ]

Qin Chi was in class, with the ferocious corpse of an A-level alien beast standing next to him. All the cadets in the classroom held their breath and concentrated, fearing that the alien beast was not dead yet and might break free from Teacher Qin's wind screen at any time. They pounced.

His eyes swept over the communication bracelet that lit up silently. Qin Chi chose to continue teaching. During the break, he walked to the southeast corner near the podium, leaned against the window, lowered his eyes and sent a message: [Sorry, I was in class just now, I’m just reading now. arrive. ]

[It's very appropriate for you to give me clothes. I think there's something new. I heard that Mr. Lu's spiritual body is a sword? ]

Xu Qiao once bumped into Qin Chi smiling and socializing with the uncles and aunts on the same floor. It was not surprising that he knew about this: [Yeah, you don't want to give him a sword, right? 】

Qin Chi: 【I have an idea for the time being. Please allow me to keep it secret first. ].

Working the night shift, Xu Qiao spent the Saturday day resting. In the evening, she pressed Lu Yang on the sofa who was about to go into the kitchen, and she came to make a meal of longevity noodles for the birthday girl.

Lu Yang couldn't sit still and leaned against the sliding door of the kitchen, looking at Xu Qiao's slender back washing vegetables and cutting meat.

A few years ago, it was my mother who was so busy in the kitchen. After her mother left, it was her father. Now...

he is an orphan, and Xu Qiao is also an orphan. In the entire Southeast Base, they are each other's only... unrelated relatives. .

The college entrance examination is coming soon. Lu Yang is not worried about the liberal arts exam, but is only worried about the spiritual awakening after the exam.

He hopes that he can inherit his father's spiritual body so that he can protect Xu Qiao.

Xu Qiao turned around unintentionally and was met with the complex expression of a middle school student who was full of thoughts.

Xu Qiao wondered: "What are you thinking about?"

Lu Yang: "I was thinking, what if my spiritual body is cotton..."

Xu Qiao smiled: "Cotton is also good, you really have the power of planting, relying on the outside The two small courtyards are enough to provide us with food all year round. "

Planting abilities are only low in combat effectiveness, but they are very popular economically. The salary of a planter of the same level is no lower than that of a healer.

She smiled so beautifully that Lu Yang silently swallowed back the other words.

The next morning, Xu Qiao took out her gift early, a black and white casual suit and a pair of white sneakers.

After more than two months of feeding her, although Lu Yang was still thin now, he was not as thin as he looked pitiful. His limbs were slender and his muscles were strong. He stood 1.8 meters tall and felt particularly safe when he stood next to Xu Qiao.

"It's been washed, just put it on, I just want to go out to play today."

Lu Yang went to change clothes awkwardly. When he came out, he found that Xu Qiao was already in the kitchen. Just as he was about to go over to help, Qin Chi sent a message: [Happy birthday, are you up? ]

Lu Yang: [Thank you, I'm up. ]

Qin Chi: [I'm outside the door, preparing a birthday gift for you. 】

Lu Yang felt that this person was too polite and he found it troublesome, but he also knew that refusing coldly would make him look very rude.

He went and opened the door alone.

Outside the door, Qin Chi was wearing a white shirt and holding an exquisite gift box more than one meter long in his hand. He handed it to Lu Yang and said, "A sword. You may not need it next month. You can get it then." Practice close combat."

Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat.

Qin Chi put the gift into his hand and went home to make breakfast.

Lu Yang returned to the living room with the gift in a complicated mood.

Xu Qiao had been curious for two days and urged Lu Yang to open the gift box and take a look.

Inside the paper packaging box is a dark wooden sword box. The vivid and simple relief looks very expensive, which is in line with Qin Chi's style.

Inside the sword box is a long sword with a cold light, a dark golden hilt, and a thin and sharp blade.

The two siblings didn't know much. They couldn't tell the metal material of the long sword with their eyes. Xu Qiao took out the product certificate and saw that it clearly stated that this was a long sword made of A-grade alloy. Mercenary Produced by the association, if it is damaged, it has a three-year warranty!

In addition to the long sword, Qin Chi also came with a memory. When he inserted it into the tablet and opened it, there were rows of swordsmanship instruction videos inside.

Xu Qiao was stunned, and so was Lu Yang.

After a long time, Xu Qiao looked at Lu Yang up and down, and asked suspiciously: "Could he be a friend of uncle, knowing that something happened to uncle, and deliberately taking care of you in this way?"

Not to mention that this weapon can break Most people can’t sort out all the swordsmanship instruction videos for A-level alien beast defense swords.

Using both points and attentiveness, Qin Chi was really not very kind to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang: "Impossible. Our whole family has never left the Southeast Base, and my dad has never done missions in other bases. I think he is just too rich. He is used to being extravagant. He doesn't consider spending points when giving gifts to others. "Sell it."

The previous space crystal core was more expensive than this sword, and you couldn't even buy it!

Of course Xu Qiao was talking casually. She knew more information than Lu Yang. For example, Qin Chi had a personal relationship with the principal of the Second Military Academy.

"I'll return it to him."

Lu Yang did as he said, quickly packed the gift box, and went straight to 102 and knocked on the door.

Xu Qiao hid in the living room and eavesdropped.

Lu Yang: "We are not relatives, so I feel guilty for accepting such an expensive gift from you."

Qin Chi: "First of all, the rental environment you provided me completely exceeded my expectations. I gave you the gift out of Courtesy and thanks. You are very likely to awaken a B-level spiritual body next month. If I give you a B-level sword, it will have almost no meaning to you, and I will not give you a meaningless gift."

"No more, please . Don't mind the points, my balance is enough for me to spend for several lifetimes. Instead of wasting it in my account, I am very happy to use it to give gifts to my destined friends."

Lu Yang was only a little shorter than Qin Chi, and he could see Qin Chi. The gentle and joyful light in Chi's eyes showed that he really thought so.

Lu Yang, on the other hand, was suddenly overwhelmed by the aura emanating from his neighbor. He was stunned for a while before finding a new reason for rejection: "But I may not be able to awaken a B-level mental body..."

Qin Chi smiled and said, "Then you This sword is even more needed. Superpowers are indeed the best way to deal with alien beasts, but cold weapons can also kill alien beasts in close combat. I hope that my little landlord can protect himself no matter what level he awakens. The person he wants to protect."

Qin Chi's voice was low at the last sentence, as if a wise elder had already understood the middle school student's mind and cooperated with him to keep this secret.

Lu Yang's lowered eyelashes flicked slightly, and various emotions surged into his heart. Finally, he lowered his arms, hugged the gift and said, "Thank you." Qin Chi: "Come in, I wish you have a good time     today

."

Lu Yang closed the door and returned to the living room, and Xu Qiao dared to relax and breathe.

Lu Yang looked at her and said, "I don't have that many points, but if he needs my help in the future, I will definitely do my best."

Qin Chi gave him a gift that he couldn't refuse, and he wrote it down Got this favor.

Xu Qiao: "Let's not think about it for now. He has already given gifts. Let's go to the movies tonight. Do you want to ask him to come with us?"

It's very common for people with special abilities to live alone. Meng Li is an example. He has it written all over his body. "Don't bother with anything."

And their new neighbor, who took the initiative to form a team with her and gave gifts to Lu Yang, must have wanted to integrate into the neighborhood life.

Then, as landlords and nearest neighbors, she and Lu Yang should be more hospitable.
