Qi Yang spoke out a string of digits fluently. As Lin Zi entered it, he felt something was getting more and more wrong. Why was it exactly the same as his phone number?
He answered the phone and said in an arrogant tone, "I am the landlord."
Qi Yang accidentally caught a glimpse of the new note she gave him - the big liar. Instead of getting angry, he smiled, "When have I ever lied to you?"
Lin Zi quickly turned the phone behind her, bit her lip, her eyes were clean without a trace of impurities, and she panicked, "You, you saw it wrong!"
The ornaments placed on the cabinet fell to the ground without anyone noticing after she said this. Lin Zi lowered his head with a guilty conscience and repeated in a low voice, "It's just that you saw it wrong."
Qi Yang was helpless towards her. He bent down to look at her, his smile was very seductive. Lin Zi's heart beat faster and her face turned red. She took a step back in panic and pressed her heels against the wall, but he did not let her go.
what she meant.
Lin Zi and his eyes met in one place, and their faces were very close to each other, as if they could get closer if they moved forward.
Qi Yang suddenly opened the distance between the two of them, his voice was a little hoarse, and his tone was still not serious: "Little crybaby, have you ever told me that telling lies will make your nose grow longer?"
She followed his words and touched her nose, looking quite guilty.
Qi Yang snorted and asked her to continue visiting, while he went to the balcony to smoke. Lin Zi's heartbeat did not calm down. Somewhere in her heart was like a germinated seed, growing wildly and uncontrollably.
The phone buzzed several times, and she hesitated for a moment to answer the call, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Lin Yuxiao searched for her for nearly a night and almost searched Beilin. He felt relieved when she answered the phone. At least she was not in danger.
He leaned on the back of the car's seat and said with a tired voice, "Zizi, where are you? I'll pick you up?"
Lin Zi's hand holding the phone slowly retracted, as if the call had been paused, and no one spoke anymore.
Lin Yuxiao broke the deadlock: "Zi Zi, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go back to the Lin family. My brother still has a house in the city center..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Zi interrupted him: "Brother, I have rented a house. The Lin family..."
She paused for a moment before making a major decision: "I won't go back to the Lin family for the time being. I have already rented a house."
Lin Yuxiao knew her temperament and thought that it was only temporary. He said softly, "If you have any difficulties, tell me."
Lin Zi hung up the phone and thought of business. She hadn't decided how much she would pay Qi Yang for a month!
Qi Yang's body exuded a faint smell of cigarette smoke. Lin Zi asked tentatively, "Brother Qi Yang, how much do you plan to charge per month?"
Qi Yang's long legs were crossed, and the corners of his mouth were raised with a malicious smile. He answered casually, "I rely on the rent to be my wife. How much do you want to give me?"
Lin Zi saved some money through scholarships and wages earned from taking classes for students over the years, but since she was determined to be self-reliant, she had to be careful.
Her mouth opened and closed. This apartment was not suitable for her current consumption level. Lin Zi lowered his head in frustration, "Brother Qi Yang, you had to collect rent from someone else to save your wife. I will have to go there later."
Let others take a look."
Qi Yang originally wanted to tease her, but he didn't expect that she would take it seriously. He chuckled, "Little crybaby?"
Lin Zi raised his head when he heard the sound and looked at him confusedly, "Huh?"
Qi Yang deliberately messed up her hair. Her hair felt soft, like the hair of a small animal.
He smiled carelessly and shrugged helplessly, "I'm not short of money, just pay the rent as you see fit."
Lin Zi murmured to himself, "Then what you just said..."
Qi Yang said in a long voice, "I'm just talking nonsense."
Lin Zi went back to Lin's house to pack her luggage. Song Xia's face looked very bad. She couldn't help but think of the scene last night.
Song Xia was a little embarrassed when she saw her. Lin Zi smiled bitterly, "Mom, I'll come back to pack some things. Don't worry, I'll leave right away."
Song Xia found that Lin Zi had always been sensible and obedient in front of her. Although she had a purpose in adopting her, she could not have no feelings at all by her side for so many years.
She watched Lin Zi open her suitcase and hurriedly pack her things. If she wanted to persuade him to stay, she held back.
When Lin Zi was leaving, Song Xia awkwardly said, "Zi Zi, tell me if you need money."
Lin Zi nodded and pulled the box away. She seriously went to the copy shop to print out a rental contract.
She asked the instructor that she could apply to live in a dormitory when school started, and the cost could be reduced. She only planned to rent Qi Yang's apartment for one month. Lin Zi referred to the rental prices in the surrounding area and transferred it to him for a penny.
Qi Yang smiled when he saw the contract and said, "So rigorous?"
Lin Zi nodded and replied seriously, "Brother Qi Yang, don't worry, I will never make your house dirty or messy this month."
Qi Yang threw her the magnetic cards and keys of the residents of the house. He hired someone to tidy up the house and basically changed the interior to the girl's liking.
When Lin Zi opened the door again and took a look, he was surprised by the girlish aura in the room. Qi Yang looked at her with a surprised expression and couldn't figure out what she meant.
He was unsure, so he asked, "Little crybaby, do you like it?"
Qi Yang “You don’t have to pay the rent, just be the hostess!”
