Chapter 35 Eye Kill
Chapter 35 Eye Kill
If looks could kill, Liu Wentian would have been torn to pieces by now.
Finally reaching his small rented room, Liu Wentian opened the door and walked in.
"This place is a bit small, so let's look for a new place tomorrow, see if there's anything suitable for rent nearby. For tonight, we'll just have to squeeze in together. Come on in, why are you standing at the door?"
Liu Wentian put the things he was carrying on the bedside, then turned to Zi Qing, who was standing at the door looking somewhat shy, and said.
Zi Qing, curious, was surveying the small room. After hearing Liu Wentian's words, she nodded and walked in hesitantly, like a timid newlywed.
She saw there was only one bed in the small room, her face flushed, and she stammered, "Brother Wentian, there's... there's only one bed here?"
Liu Wentian nodded and replied, "Yes. I was the only one living here so, of course, there's only one bed."
"But... but... where will I sleep then?"
Seeing Liu Wentian's casual attitude like one bed was naturally enough for both of them, Zi Qing was first stunned, then she twisted her fingers, looking somewhat at a loss.
Only one bed, how would two people sleep... could it be, together?
Seeing her panicked look, Liu Wentian couldn't bear to tease her further, smiled, and said, "Alright, don't worry. I'll sleep on the floor tonight, and you can take the bed. And don't start saying you'll sleep on the floor and I'll take the bed. But, Zi Qing, I've noticed you're a bit imaginative, such a young mind filled with unhealthy thoughts. I wouldn't do anything inappropriate; brother's only interested in real women, hehe."
Hearing his words, Zi Qing felt a bit embarrassed, but still pouted and said, "I'm not overthinking, and I'm not young anymore, I'm 17, I'm no longer a little girl."
After being teased by Liu Wentian, Zi Qing's initially tense mood also relaxed.
She moved around the room, here and there, carrying a trace of curiosity.
Liu Wentian couldn't help but smile wryly because in Zi Qing he saw a bit of his mother at home, that homemaker vibe.
Zi Qing crouched down in a few spots, examining them carefully, then picked up the broom by the bathroom door and started sweeping those spots. After sweeping, she picked up a rag and continued cleaning, making Liu Wentian somewhat bemused at the situation. He hadn't asked her to be a housemaid.
"Why do you look like a little maid? Remember, I'm definitely not going to pay you," Liu Wentian teased.
Zi Qing heard his words, smiled cutely at Liu Wentian, but didn't respond, continuing to wipe the computer desk as if it were her assigned job.
In Zi Qing's eyes, since Liu Wentian had helped her fight off a bad guy today and was even treating her illness, she couldn't think of anything to repay him, so she had to at least be industrious. If she did nothing, she would feel very awkward.
Liu Wentian smiled, not minding her anymore. Having a woman clean his room felt quite nice, giving a warm feeling.
He sat on the only chair in the room, turned on the old 3rd generation Celeron CPU desktop, and began to check for any suitable rentals nearby.
As the evening deepened, Liu Wentian took Zi Qing downstairs for dinner and then planned to start treating her.
After the treatment was complete.
Liu Wentian's phone suddenly received a message alerting him that his bank account received 30,000 RMB.
A puzzled expression appeared on Liu Wentian's face, unclear as to why he unexpectedly received 30,000 RMB. Could it be that someone had transferred it by mistake?
However, after thinking it over, it seemed unlikely, yet whose money was it?
His phone suddenly rang, and Liu Wentian answered quickly, "Sister Yueyue, I just received 30,000 RMB. It wasn't you who sent it, was it?"
Li Chuyue's gentle voice came from the other end, "Yes, it was me. You don't seem to understand the situation right now; you quit your job and don't seem to be planning on finding another one. I guess you're running low on money, so I sent you some. Don't think about when you need to repay me; normally I don't spend much anyway. Just remember to take good care of yourself, make sure you don't go hungry."
Liu Wentian fell silent, touched.
He understood that although Li Chuyue earned a decent salary every month, most of it was sent back home, and she didn't have much money on her. This 30,000 RMB was very likely all her savings now.
Li Chuyue didn't understand he had an inheritance and wasn't sure why he had stopped working, but just because she was worried he would run out of money, she had transferred all her money to him. He felt extremely grateful for Li Chuyue, this wonderful woman who was tremendously important in his life, and felt a special affection for her.
Liu Wentian forced a smile, "Sister Yueyue, you really shouldn't be so good to me. If you are, and I ever make you cry later, I'll be the first to hate myself."
Li Chuyue laughed on the other side, cheerful, "That's even better. If you dare make me cry, you'll have to punish yourself, so you'll always need to think about how to keep me happy. Hehe."
Then, voices urging Li Chuyue to get ready for work came through the phone.
Liu Wentian frowned, "Sister Yueyue, it's almost 8 pm, how are you still working? Please don't overdo it, you need to rest."
Li Chuyue replied softly, "It's okay, what's tiring about being a model? I need to go to work now. Remember not to go to bed too late; it's not good for your health."
Liu Wentian wanted to tell her that he had lots of money and wanted to give it back, but the line was already dead. Liu Wentian rubbed his hair, feeling increasingly indebted to Li Chuyue.
The favor of a beautiful woman is the hardest to repay, he didn't even know how to repay her. Recalling her dream to own a flower shop, no matter what, he had to make that dream come true.
At that moment, Zi Qing emerged after washing up, and Liu Wentian was dazzled.
