C128 (1/2)

Cheng asked in surprise, ”Really? ”That's great. Bro, then are you here on a business trip?”

This was the only thing I could say to Cheng. If it had been Tick, she would have rolled her eyes at me.

He followed Tick to a building in the residential complex. This was a new residential complex built by the government. It was meant to be used to renovate the old city, but there were no elevators.

Cheng told me that she got two sets, one for each room. The total was only one hundred and eighty square meters. Her original foundation had been around 200 square meters. In addition to that, she had lost a lot in this exchange. However, to Tick, this arrangement was pretty good. At least the house no longer needed to be in the outskirts of the county.

I followed Cheng into the house and realized that there was very little in the house. There were only a few old chairs and nothing else. It was so empty that even a mouse could enter it.

The layout of the house was pretty good. It was a small room, and one could tell that Cheng had only just arrived here. Other than one room, the other two rooms didn't even have a bed.

Seeing that there was only a worn-out wooden bed in the room that Cheng Zi was sleeping in, and that the clothes could only be placed on the bed, I couldn't help but frown. ”Cheng, why didn't you buy some furniture?”

Cheng bit his lips, lowered his head and said, ”Brother, I won't stay here for a few days anyways, so I'll just take a stroll. There's no need to buy anything. Besides, I'll have to rent it out when the time comes.”

I shook my head helplessly. ”Alright, don't lie to me. Do you have no money? Alright, I'll go and help you get those things from home tomorrow. Even if you want to rent them out, you have to get better.”

Cheng Zi took my hand and said, ”Brother, there's really no need for that. I won't be able to stay for much longer anyway. They'll be able to buy it by themselves by the time we rent it out. Don't waste any money.”

I rolled my eyes at Cheng and snappily said, ”Can it be the same with furniture and no rent? When the rent is available, I won't need to give you any more living expenses. Forget it, I've decided on this matter, seeing that you are living in a safe place, I can relax. I'll head back first, I'll come back tomorrow to find you. ”

Hearing that I was leaving, Cheng grabbed my hand and looked at me with wide eyes. ”No, bro, don't go, okay? I've been living here by myself for the past few days, and I don't dare to sleep at all. I'm begging you, please stay with me, okay?”

Looking at Cheng, I immediately felt helpless. ”Cheng, don't be like this. I'll be coming over tomorrow. Besides, this district is quite safe. Nothing will happen.”

Cheng Zi grabbed my hand and begged, ”No way, I just don't want you to go. Brother, you don't know who I am alone here every night and I don't even have anyone to talk to. I'm really scared. Please don't go back, okay?”

I bitterly smiled. ”But there's only one bed here. I don't have any space even now. Don't worry, I'll come over in the morning.”

Cheng said without thinking, ”It doesn't matter. We've slept together before anyway, so I don't care.”

After saying that, Cheng Zi's face reddened and she lowered her head, not daring to look at me anymore. I hesitated for a moment and took advantage of this time to pry Cheng's hand away and walk outside.

I walked quickly out of the neighborhood. I was relieved. If I let Cheng pester me, I'm afraid I'll agree to it.

When I got back to the hotel, I sent a message to Cheng, telling her to get some rest, and then I went to see her in the morning.

After sending the message, I went to take a bath. I had just finished my shower and was wearing only the hotel towel.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and I thought it was some random young lady. I didn't want to pay any attention to her, but I kept knocking on the door.

I impatiently shouted towards the door, ”I don't need any service. Don't knock!”

He had originally thought that the other party would leave. However, he did not expect that the other party would only stop for a moment before continuing to knock on the door.

I got up and walked towards the door. Without even looking at the door, I shouted, ”I said, I don't need any service. Are you done yet?”

The moment my words left my mouth, the girl standing in front of me let out a soft voice.

”Brother, it's me.”

Hearing this voice, I opened my eyes and saw that it was Cheng who was standing in front of me. Cheng Zi was carrying a small bag on her back. She was standing in front of me with her head lowered. Her two small hands were tangled together as she looked at her feet.

Looking at Cheng who was standing in front of me, I couldn't help but laugh. ”No, how did you know I was here?”

Cheng Zi lowered her head and replied in a low voice, ”Didn't you say you lived here?”

Hearing Cheng's reply, I couldn't help but feel depressed. I thought Cheng didn't know I lived there, but I didn't expect to expose my place from the start, what's the use of leaving!
