Lin Que simply smiled in response to Shen Qingqiu's request.
"Teacher, that essay has already been collected, and I don't have the manuscript here either."
Of course he does.
The whole story was in his mind, and he could retell it at any time.
But he didn't want to.
He enjoyed this feeling.
Enjoy the feeling of being the center of the world's curiosity about you, yet being unable to have you.
Especially when this expression, a mixture of longing and helplessness, appeared on Shen Qingqiu's always aloof and cold face,
His little bit of mischievous pleasure was greatly satisfied.
"Yeah……"
Shen Qingqiu's eyes dimmed, a fleeting look of disappointment crossing her face.
She reverted to her usual businesslike demeanor:
"I understand, you can go back now."
Remember, even if you don't pursue a career in literature, don't slack off on your studies!
If you dare to fall out of the top twenty in the class again in the next monthly exam, you'll see what I do to you!
"Understood, teacher."
Lin Que stood up, obediently responded, and turned to leave the office.
Watching his retreating figure, Shen Qingqiu leaned back in her chair and wearily rubbed her temples.
She felt that in every conversation she had with Lin Que, she was always trying to see through him, control him, and guide him.
But in the end, I always ended up being led by the nose by him.
In the end, he gained nothing and left himself exhausted.
This student was practically her nemesis.
...
After school in the afternoon, Lin Que did not go straight home.
He boarded the hoverbus heading to the city center.
At noon, my parents called, their excitement and trembling voices were clearly palpable even through the phone signal.
They confirmed that the money was real.
Then there are two people who have never been to a high-end residential area in their entire lives.
I sneaked into the sales office of "Yun Gong," the most expensive residential complex in the city, like a thief, and was so shocked by the prices that I almost ran out on the spot.
Ultimately, they chose 'Xi Sheng Fu', which is also a high-end residential project, but its unit price is half that of Yun Gong.
Right now, they are being led by a saleswoman to view a 140-square-meter, fully furnished three-bedroom apartment.
Lin Que told them to decide for themselves; if they liked it, they could buy it without worrying about the money.
He, however, had to attend to something even more important.
Find a studio that truly belongs to you.
His request was simple:
Quiet, private, top-notch security, and convenient transportation.
Ideally, it would be a high-end studio apartment.
It's a mixed-use commercial and residential building, requiring card access for entry and exit, and neighbors never interact with each other.
He browsed through the options on his phone and finally settled on one place.
"SOHO Future City".
The newest CBD core area in Jiangcheng City is surrounded by skyscrapers, and the people coming and going are mostly urban white-collar and gold-collar workers.
Most importantly, there are many different apartment layouts there.
The security was also notoriously strict, which perfectly met his requirements.
After getting off the car, Lin Que walked into the SOHO Future City leasing center.
The person who received him was a young girl.
When she saw Lin Que's No. 1 Middle School uniform, her professional smile froze for half a second, but she quickly recovered.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"I want to rent an apartment to use as a studio."
Lin Que got straight to the point.
The girl paused for a moment, but maintained her impeccable professional smile.
"Okay, student. Our starting price for small apartments is 5,000 per month. Do you have a budget range?"
Or perhaps your parents asked you to come and take a look first?
Lin Que did not answer, but instead directly opened the holographic model of the property.
His gaze swept over the lower-level units, and his finger finally stopped on the few red-marked apartments on the top floor.
"Let me take a look at these sets."
The girl's smile remained, but her tone carried a more formulaic reminder:
"Student, these are our prime units, the monthly rent is between eight thousand and ten thousand."
Furthermore, according to company regulations, signing a contract requires providing identification information and proof of financial standing. If you are merely visiting…
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Que had already raised his head and was looking at her calmly:
“I know the rules. If the house is suitable, we can sign the contract on the spot.”
"Now, can you show me around?"
His tone was calm, yet resolute.
The girl's heart skipped a beat when she met his gaze.
That's not the look a normal high school student should have.
Calm and profound.
She hesitated for half a second, her tone becoming much more respectful:
"Yes, sir, please follow me!"
Lin Que followed her to see three apartments, and finally they arrived at an apartment on the 28th floor.
Sixty-eight square meters, facing south.
