Chapter 33: Chapter Thirty-Three: History
Shi Nian's phone lit up, and he saw a message from Yun Nan: "Are you coming home for dinner tonight?"
"Yes," Shi Nian replied. Then, he called Xi Cheng's assistant. "Come over and take your Young Master Xi to the hospital to sober up!"
He helped Xi Cheng up, and Xi Cheng mumbled in a daze, "Why don't you want money? Why don't you want my money?"
"Didn't she say that she wants your love?" Shi Nian couldn't help but retort.
"Love, love! I want love too, Shi Nian! I don't love the girl who loves me, and the one I love doesn't love me anymore! What should I do? Tell me, what should I do?" Young Master Xi whimpered.
Shi Nian inwardly sighed, 'Love is such a scary thing. A wealthy Casanova like him, ruined!'
After Xi Cheng's assistant picked him up, Shi Nian stood where he was and sighed again. Suddenly, he felt a little poignant and sent a message to Yun Nan. "I want to eat a bowl of noodles. I'll be home in half an hour."
"Alright," she replied instantly.
Shi Nian's mood suddenly improved. 'I have a snail girl of my own!'
When he arrived home, the house was quiet. There was a bowl of noodles on the dining table. The noodles were just right and at the right temperature, but she wasn't there.
Shi Nian felt a little unhappy and sent Yun Nan a message: "Where are you?"
"I'm working," Yun Nan responded.
Shi Nian suddenly came back to his senses. 'What's wrong with me? What the h*ll am I doing? Why do I care so much about whether Yun Nan is here or not?'
Meanwhile, a certain friend of his is downstairs and on his way to meet Shi Nian's mysterious tenant.
Ye Kun knocked on his neighbor's door. When it opened, he held out a handful of tri-colored baby's breath and very gentlemanly greeted her, "Hello, I'm Ye Kun, your new neighbor! I'm sorry to disturb you. I'm here to apologize for the noise you'll be hearing. I'll be moving in some furniture for the next couple of days so it might be noisy."
Fang Xi hesitated for a moment and accepted the flowers. She thought to herself, 'This is a high-end residential area after all. The neighbors are so high-quality.' She quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay."
"Who is it?" Yun Nan poked her head out. Her hair was messy, and her apron was splattered in colorful paint.
Ye Kun craned his neck to take a look and commented with a smile, "So two beauties are living here. It's a pleasure to meet you. When I've finished moving in, I plan to invite my friends over for a housewarming party. If the two of you don't mind, you can join us."
Fang Xi frowned. "I'm sorry. We're both busy with work, and we don't have a fixed schedule, so we'll see."
She glanced at the flowers in her hands and felt she should return the favor. She took a bottle of red wine from the hall cabinet and stuffed it into Ye Kun's hands.
"Welcome to the neighborhood! Goodbye!" With her greeting done, Fang Xi slammed the door shut. Ye Kun felt that if he hadn't dodged so quickly, his nose would have been flattened. He subconsciously rubbed his nose and took a few steps back. 'How pretty! Those two are real beauties!'
The one inside was probably the little sister; she looked slightly younger. Her big sister at the door was a top-notch beauty. Not only was she beautiful, but the magnetic charm she exuded stuck in his heart.
He walked home with a spring in his step, picked up his phone, and called Shi Nian for more info. "Shi Nian, what's the background of your two tenants? Come on, give your pal a hand here! I just met the girl of my dreams! She just so happens to be your tenant! Bro, you gotta help me out! My future happiness depends on you!"
He was excited and geared up when he suddenly felt something sounded strange at the other end of the call. "Hm? What's that you're eating? Where are you? Who's with you?"
Shi Nian picked up the bowl and finished the soup. 'Yun Nan must also be a snail girl. The noodles she makes are really delicious.'
"I finished it; there's none left. That's none of your business!" He petulantly answered every one of Ye Kun's questions.
Ye Kun decided to put the matter aside for the time being. He ignored Shi Nian's attitude and demanded, "Quick, tell me about your two female tenants! Especially the older sister! The one with the bewitching charm!"
Shi Nian was startled for a moment. It turned out that Yun Nan was downstairs. 'That's right, she'd asked Fang Xi to leave her a studio.'
He glanced at his empty living room. 'What was I thinking back then? Why did I expand the living room so much? There's not even a single room left!'
"Hello, Shi Nian, are you still there?" Ye Kun's voice brought his attention back to their conversation. "You haven't answered my question. What's her name? What line of work is she in?"
"Her name is Fang Xi," Shi Nian replied.
Looking at them side by side, Fang Xi seemed much more mature and sophisticated than Yun Nan. The 'older sister' Ye Kun mentioned obviously referred to Fang Xi.
'The person Ye Kun has his eyes on is Fang Xi! That must be the case! Without a doubt!'
"What does she work as?" Ye Kun eagerly wanted to know.
"Uh, I'm not too sure. I think she works at a studio—a film and television studio. I don't know what her job is specifically." Shi Nian realized that he knew very little about Yun Nan.
