Looking at the rather exquisite three-story building in front of him, Zhuo Jiu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"landlord?"

"Second landlord?"

"What is her true identity?!"

He was a little hesitant. It was obvious that the people who could live here could not be ordinary people... Especially the small building in front of him, which was covered with exquisite dark red wall tiles, all revealing the vicissitudes of history.

This heavy feeling that hit his face instantly made him feel solemn.

He has traveled to a lot of cities... and streets like this are exactly the same as the old houses in the alleys next to the Shili foreign market in Shanghai.

But how could the landlords of those dilapidated houses live here? Zhuo Jiu found it a bit unbelievable.

Taking a step back, if there was a kind old man on the other end of the phone, he would be able to accept it... But the female voice on the other end of the phone looked like she was thirty years old at most, maybe even younger.

Live here...?

Zhuo Jiu looked around blankly. Yes, that's the smell!

Although the surrounding houses are dilapidated and dilapidated, most of them have the same charm as the three-story building. Even the old people passing by seem to have a calm and noble bearing.

This made Zhuo Jiu even more frightened... He was simply out of tune with this place.

He wanted to retreat a little, but since we were already here... He took out his phone and looked at the text messages on his phone.

——It was the address that the landlady sent to him after he contacted him earlier.

"That's right!" After comparing it with the house number on the stone pillar at the door, Zhuo Jiu nodded secretly and dialed the number.

"Beep...beep..."

Not long after, the call was connected.

"Hello... are you the landlord? I just contacted you, Xiaozhuo."

Maybe the name Xiao Zhuo was a bit unfamiliar, and the other party didn't react for a while, "Oh, Xiao Zhuo, I thought you wouldn't come so fast, but now you are..."

"I'm at your door now... No. 186, yes, No. 186!"

"Wait a minute..." After saying that, Ai Tianya hung up the phone in a hurry.

Listening to the blind voice coming from the phone, Zhuo Jiu was a little confused, "This... what is going on?"

He raised his head blankly and looked at the small building in front of him... He saw that the curtains of a room on the second floor suddenly opened, and he could vaguely see a beautiful figure standing there.

Peering out.

"That's...the landlord?" Zhuo Jiu was a little stunned, "Do you really live here?"

But he still subconsciously raised his hand and waved towards the room.

The man obviously saw Zhuo Jiu, and then left the window... It looked like he should have come down.

Zhuo Jiu hurriedly smoothed out some wrinkles on his clothes... Although he usually dressed more casually, today in order to meet the landlord and leave a good impression on him, he also deliberately packed a piece of clothing at the bottom of the box.

I picked out a light-colored striped shirt and paired it with a pair of dark trousers I bought at some point. The overall look is quite formal.

The only disharmonious thing is the pair of Hongxing Erke he is wearing on his feet... Fortunately, the legs of the trousers are relatively long, which can provide a certain concealment. If you don't observe carefully, you shouldn't find anything strange.

He felt that his breathing was a little rapid, and even his palms couldn't help but sweat.

——After all, if it is as stated in the flyer, a room only costs 300 a month, for him who is short of money and in urgent need of renting a house at this time, it is already pie in the sky, and he cannot help but ignore it.

Not long after, the door opened with a burst of busy footsteps.

The sunlight slanted through the gaps in the sycamore leaves, and scattered spots of light reflected on the mottled red brick wall, and also fell into Zhuo Jiu's eyes... The whole world was instantly enveloped in a halo, and more than a few

It was the small building in front of me, and what appeared in front of Zhuo Jiu...

Ai Tianya.

Perhaps it was because the morning sun was too bright. The first moment he saw her, Zhuo Jiu felt inexplicably hot.

Subconsciously, he wanted to unbutton the first button on his collar.

His heart was beating violently, and he urgently needed a gust of cool breeze to pass through his collar to soothe his restless heart.

But he didn't do that.

He is not a first brother, and basic etiquette rules tell him how inappropriate it would be if he made such a move at this time.

He felt a little thirsty, as if he hadn't drank water in an unknown amount of time... However, he had just drank water when he entered this alley.

"What's wrong with me?"

He just stared blankly at the figure slowly walking towards him.

Apart from being beautiful, with his meager vocabulary, he couldn't find any exact words to describe the surprise at first sight.

"Are you Xiaozhuo?"

Her voice is also very nice. Although it is mixed with a bit of laziness, her pronunciation is extremely clear. A name that was originally an ordinary name sounds extremely beautiful when spoken in her mouth.

And...the look in her eyes.

Zhuo Jiu could feel that she was constantly looking at him, with her slightly hot eyes, even Zhuo Jiu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed... It was as if she had seen through everything, especially the things on her feet.

I want to hide those sneakers, but I don’t know how.

The sharp aura radiating from her whole body made Zhuo Jiu dare not look at her. He could only lower his head and murmured in reply: "Yes! Yes! I am the same person who was with you earlier.

Contact Zhuo Jiu."

After saying that, he raised his hand tremblingly, as if he wanted to shake hands with her, but halfway through, he began to hesitate again... He was a little scared, especially with such a person in front of him.

——He feels a little ashamed of himself.

Seeing his embarrassment, the landlady chuckled, raised her catkin, and shook his hand that was hanging in the air with nowhere to rest.

The subtle touch suddenly made Zhuo Jiu feel dazed again.

Even, a little flattered.

Immediately, he put on an expression that he felt was more sincere, "This morning, when I was... passing by, I saw that advertisement. I happened to be renting a house, so I took the liberty to contact you."

His breathing became rapid.

Especially the word "go out" that he almost blurted out just now made his heart stop.

"Passing by..." Ai Tianya smiled and deliberately lengthened her tone.

She seemed to be thinking, and her direct gaze made Zhuo Jiu feel uncomfortable all over.

"Yeah, um, passing by..." Zhuo Jiu nodded blankly. At this time, he just wanted to get over this topic as soon as possible. He didn't dare to look at Ai Tianya's eyes, always feeling that there seemed to be something deeper hidden inside.

Meaning, "I think the price of 300 is quite appropriate."

He didn't dare to say too much, but he was more worried that this was just a simple marketing ploy.

Isn't that what they do? They trick you into coming here at a low price, and then sell you some other houses with higher prices... It's not like he has never encountered these things during his wanderings.

Thinking of this, he added: "But my budget is really limited, and I can only afford 300 a month's rent."

Ai Tianya looked at him with a strange expression, "It's just 300, it's not a lie, as long as you think it's okay!"

"Really!" Zhuo Jiu raised his head suddenly, his face full of disbelief.

What he did more was to bargain. If the price was slightly higher, it wasn't that he couldn't accept it, but he just didn't expect that the other party would agree so readily!

"Well, just 300." Ai Tianya nodded, with an indifferent expression on her face.

"Then how do I transfer it to you? How do I calculate the other ones? Is it a deposit of one to pay three?"

Ai Tianya looked at the person in front of her strangely, shook her head, and pointed to the small building behind her, "Do you think I am the one who needs your deposit?"

"Add it on WeChat and remember to transfer it to me every month."

"Okay! Okay!" Zhuo Jiu was completely immersed in the ecstasy of pie-in-the-sky pie-in-the-sky ecstasy, "Then I'll sweep you off!"

Ai Tianya waved her hand, "When the time comes, you can go directly to this address, and the two college students living there will give you the room key."

"Okay! Okay!"

Zhuo Jiu's answer was soulless. At this time, he was already so happy that he couldn't find the north. He looked at the advertising paper in his hand and was filled with joy.

Ai Tianya chuckled and shook her head, although for her, what she did was so insignificant.

But I feel an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

…

Recalling this, it comes to an end for now.

Zhuo Jiu was still lying on the table, but a complicated look appeared on his hidden face.

He didn't know how to define everything Ai Tianya had done... At least, Zhuo Jiu's impression of everything she had done so far was not very good. In fact, it seemed more like playing with people's hearts.

And he was like a fool, falling into the trap she set step by step.

But, was it wrong for her to do that? No.

In fact, everything she did was done with good intentions... At least, the cart at the back was much easier to use than the previous one, and the low rent was almost equivalent to giving it away for free.

Then, it seems that I don't have any position to accuse her.

"So, just like that, you moved into the house I arranged for you. You know, with such a price, it is impossible to find a decent house in Star City... Of course, I also arranged for the two college students to move out.

After all, as long as you give them a suitable price, they don’t have any problem with where they live.”

"The main thing is that I'm afraid they'll spill the beans and let you know some of the arrangements I've made."

Zhuo Jiu suddenly realized: It turned out that the two college students moved away one after another for this reason. Fortunately, Zhuo Jiu thought they had left this shabby alley because they had been promoted.

Step by step, there is no plan left. If she hadn't revealed everything today, Zhuo Jiuzhen would still be in the dark.

"Also...do you think you can really maintain your own life by setting up a stall in this alley?"

Ai Tianya's tone was a little subtle, which made Zhuo Jiu start to feel uneasy.
