Chapter 123 Find a room
I asked several hotels, and finally one said they still had rooms.
Tingyun and Qingyu were so happy. However, when they followed the boss to the room, they were disappointed again.
A small room with a single bed inside. The small window faces north and is blocked by the building opposite, so there is no light.
There was a set of radiators against the wall. Zingyun walked over and touched them. They were cold. I guess the boss didn't turn on the heater because they thought the cost was high.
There is a wall-mounted air conditioner hanging on the wall, but in the winter in Lancheng, vertical air conditioners are not enough, let alone wall-mounted ones?
Qingyu didn't care: "How about this one? It's so hard to find a room today."
Tingyun thinks it’s not possible:
"This house doesn't even have heating, it will be very cold at night.
"The most important thing is that this room does not have an independent bathroom. You have to go to the public restroom outside to wash your clothes. As a girl, it is safer to live in a room with an independent bathroom."
Qingyu felt warm in her heart when she heard that he cared about her: "You forgot again, I am the national martial arts champion."
Tingyun glanced at her: "Those who learn performance routines should stop positioning themselves as national martial arts champions in the future."
Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled: "If you are worried, just stay and protect me."
Tingyun was so shocked that he lost his words and stared blankly at Qingyu.
Qingyu smiled mischievously, her round almond eyes turning into crescent moons: "Just kidding."
Tingyun coughed unconsciously, turned around and walked towards the door: "Let's go look at other places. If we don't find anything more suitable, we have to book this one."
Qingyu caught up with him: "Don't find a more suitable room, and this one will be gone too."
Tingyun went downstairs side by side with her: "Well, you are very thoughtful."
Is this a compliment to her?
Tingyun returned to the front desk of the hotel, paid a deposit of 30 yuan, asked the boss to keep the room for two hours, and took down the boss's mobile phone number.
Make an agreement to call the boss within two hours and tell the boss whether you want to move in or not. Then come back and pay if you want to move in. If you don't move in, the deposit will not be refunded.
Leave a way out and continue looking for a room.
After coming out of a hotel again, an aunt in her forties came over and said to the two of them: "It's hard to book hotels these two days. I have rooms at my house, do you want to stay at my house?"
"Your home?" Qingyu didn't understand.
The aunt explained: "My house is for rent. A girl just moved out yesterday and vacated a small apartment."
Tingyun asked: "We only stay for four days, is that okay?"
The aunt said: "Okay, the four days will be charged like a hotel."
Tingyun asked again: "Does your home have heating?"
The aunt smiled and said: "It's connected, it's warm! Come with me to see the house."
Tingyun and Qingyu followed her into the community, walking through the garden, climbing the stairs, crossing the corridor, and entering the room.
Tingyun looked around and immediately understood the layout of the room.
This is a long small suite that is transparent from north to south.
The door leads to a long corridor. A door next to it is a small kitchen with cabinets and cooking utensils. The window opens to the long corridor, which is to the north.
Further inside is a bathroom.
The small space outside the door of the kitchen and bathroom has a full-ceiling cabinet, a shoe cabinet and a hanging board, and is attached to a full-length mirror, making it a small entrance hall.
Further inside is a rectangular room, which is divided into two areas by a ceiling-mounted shelf. The outside is the living room, and the inside is the bedroom.
There are two sliding doors in the bedroom, leading to the large balcony.
This kind of layout is designed for rental at first glance. It has complete functions and is not large in area. In the student area, this type of room is very popular.
Tingyun browsed the entire room, checked the door locks, the crescent locks on the windows, reached out to touch the radiator, turned on the switch and tried to see if the ceiling light was on.
Go to the kitchen and look at the natural gas pipes and the stove switch.
Go to the bathroom and turn on the faucet above the sink, and press the flush button on the toilet.
That serious attitude doesn't look like I'm only staying for four days, it's almost like I'm renting a house.
Qingyu stood by the wall, watching him come in and out with a smile, checking this and that, feeling happy and cared about.
Tingyun checked everything and felt very satisfied. He came over and asked the aunt: "We will stay for four days and need to provide clean bedding and an electric kettle. How much does it cost?"
Qingyu heard him say: "We will stay for four days." She knew that this was just a way of saying things when talking about things, but she couldn't help but think about it, and then she felt shy.
Shy, she stood quietly aside and let Tingyun make the decision for her.
"My house is rented out for 2,000 yuan a month. You only stay for four days, which is 90 yuan a day, a total of 360 yuan. The price is the same as that of a hotel outside, but the conditions are better than the hotel."
Tingyun nodded: "Okay."
The transaction was successfully completed, Qingyu and her aunt paid the house lock money via WeChat.
Auntie went to get the bedding and the electric kettle, and only Tingyun and Qingyu were left in the room.
Tingyun walked to the sofa and sat down, calling Qingyu: "You have brought all the test items, come here and let me check them for you."
Qingyu had a smile on her face, but she didn't know what she was thinking. She didn't hear clearly what he said: "Ah, what do you want to check for me?"
"Check the exam items." Tingyun replied.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a physical examination.
"Oh." Qingyu came over and sat next to him, opened his backpack, took out a transparent document bag and handed it to him.
Tingyun took it over and checked it over. Seeing that the documents and stationery were all missing, he asked again: "Did you bring a water bottle and a medical surgical mask?"
"Ah, I forgot!" Qingyu raised her fist and tapped her head lightly.
"It's okay, I'll go out and buy it later."
From Tingyun's point of view, it is completely normal for her to forget one or two things.
He asked Qingyu to put the document bag back into the bag and put it away.
The door lock rang a few times, and the aunt came in with a tall pile of bedding, and a plastic bag hanging on her arm, which contained an electric kettle.
The two of them quickly went up to help unload the things.
The aunt handed them the keys: "Then I'll leave first. Let me know when you check out. If you need anything, just contact me on WeChat or call me."
As the two said "thank you", the aunt went out and closed the door, and the room became quiet again.
The two of them turned around and looked at the things their aunt had sent: two pillows and two quilts.
Auntie always thought that the two of them were going to live together.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle, and both of them fell silent.
After a few seconds of silence, Qingyu spoke first: "I'll go make the bed first."
She picked up the neatly folded sheets, spread them, and tossed them.
The sheets floated up and landed on the mattress.
Qingyu pressed the sheets at the head of the bed, and then pulled up the end of the bed. A person was running around, looking very busy.
Tingyun walked to the edge of the bed on the other side and bent down to help her spread it.
Lay out the sheets, then put down quilts and pillows, one on each side.
Chapter completed!
