Chapter 152 After the Old House Caught Fire (2)

Although the exterior of the apartment is simple, it is magnificent inside and has a tall spiral staircase that is amazing.

Chu Xiang stood there and looked up at the real estate agent.

Eugene smiled slightly and walked in front to lead the way. He introduced the apartment with great pride in an old-fashioned tone, "Ivy Apartment has been well maintained since it was built, so the windows and walls you see, and the floors you step on, are all brand new."

"I think it would be a great pleasure to see such a beautiful house when you wake up every day."

"Of course, people who live in Ivy Apartments don't have to worry about security issues. There has never been any theft in the apartment. The safety of your life and property can definitely be guaranteed."

Eugene said something and gradually realized that something was wrong. He stopped at the stairs and looked back. Chu Xiang was still at the bottom of the stairs.

She folded her arms. She was clearly the one standing at the lower level, but when she raised her face, she showed a perfunctory and hypocritical smile, looking even more superior than the man on the stairs.

She said: "This is indeed a very beautiful place, noble, elegant and grand."

It seemed that she was very satisfied with the place, but she had no intention of moving and just stood there motionless.

The blond, blue-eyed man was silent for a moment, then he smiled politely, "It must be an honor for Ivy Apartments to receive such high praise from the young lady."

He walked down the stairs and came to Chu Xiang. He picked up Chu Xiang's suitcase with one hand and said with a very graceful smile: "There is a room with good light and large space on the third floor. Maybe you will like it."

Chu Xiang then stepped forward onto the stairs, and she was in the mood to observe the surrounding environment.

The escalator has golden carvings, the windows are painted glass, and the walls on the upper floors are decorated with oil paintings.

The first portrait Chu Xiang saw was of a man. He was wearing clothes from the last century. He was sitting on a chair with empty eyes, looking straight ahead with a blank expression, like an empty shell without a soul.

But he smiled brightly, with the corners of his lips raised high.

Go up three more steps, and there is an oil painting hanging here. It depicts a lady wearing a Victorian-style dress, standing at the window. Perhaps the wind outside the window is too cold, she is hugging herself, her body seems to be shivering, but there is a smile on her face.

The smile was so bright that she wanted to raise the corners of her mouth higher to let people know how happy she was.

Every few steps forward, you can see an oil painting hanging on the wall. The protagonists in the paintings are different, and their postures are also different, but their smiles seem to be printed from the same mold. The curvature of the smile and the angle of the lip corners are exactly the same.

On the third floor, above the corridor, portraits of different people were hung on the walls on both sides.

Seeing that Chu Xiang was very interested in these paintings, Eugene introduced them considerately, "These portraits are of guests who have lived in the apartment before. They enjoyed a peaceful and lively life in Spring Ivy Apartment. Before leaving, they asked the agent to leave a painting for them as a souvenir."

Chu Xiang asked curiously: "You agents can also draw?"

"We are not busy at work, in fact, we have a lot of free time. We use painting to enrich ourselves in our spare time. This is a tradition passed down from generation to generation by our agents." Eugene seemed to be suddenly interested. His eyes were slightly curved, and his blue eyes seemed to ripple. "When are you free? I can also leave a painting for you."

Chu Xiang said casually: "Let's talk about it later." Eugene sighed with some regret, and he pushed open the door of a room, "If you are not satisfied with this room, you can change to another room."

The old-fashioned crystal chandelier in the room lit up, and the dark room instantly became bright.

The stained glass is inlaid with embossed patterns, and the murals on the walls are full of exquisite carvings and rich colors. Bright silver candlesticks are hung above them. When the light illuminates the room, the light and shadow reflected on the wall make the entire space more mysterious and soft.

The white velvet curtains are airtight and can block out light very well. The big red bed is positioned right facing the window, so there is no feeling of being cramped.

Even though she knew that this apartment was particularly luxurious, Chu Xiang was still shocked when she stepped into the room full of exotic style.

She walked to the window, opened the curtains, and then pushed open the window. The night breeze blew in, bringing in fresh air.

Eugene stood at the door with a strong sense of boundaries, his pair of blue eyes following Chu Xiang in the room, the smile on his pale face was like a fixed mask, without the slightest change.

Chu Xiang leaned against the window and could see the street scene opposite. The street lamps cast a faint yellow light, and under the glow of the stars and the moon, the protruding dome building opposite was particularly eye-catching.

She pointed out the window and asked, "What's that place?"

Eugene replied: "That is the Cross Church. If someone encounters something disturbing, they will choose to go to the church to find peace."

Chu Xiang didn't have any beliefs. Looking at the buildings in the distance, he just thought the exotic style of the buildings was somewhat attractive.

She walked to the door and took the luggage from Eugene. "I'll stay in this room. Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome." Eugene smiled sincerely, friendly and harmless. "If you need anything, you can contact me. As for the rental contract, there's no rush. Once you've had a good rest, we can talk about it tomorrow morning."

He took a step back and considerately closed the door.

Through the peepholes on the doors of each room, eyes were staring at the figures in the corridor which were slowly disappearing. The people who were peeping in the dark blinked again and then withdrew their gazes in unison.

Chu Xiang closed the window and drew the curtains. The room was silent. She was still a little uncomfortable with it. After all, she used to live in a big city. She could occasionally hear the sound of traffic and see the bright neon lights outside the window at night.

But there are few foreigners. She didn't see anyone along the way during the day, and at night it was more like a dead place.

But the real estate agent left a deep impression on her.

Chu Xiang tidied up her things and washed up. Then she sat cross-legged on the bed and took out her laptop to search for the Ivy Community.

As soon as I clicked on the search function in the browser, I was instantly redirected to a strange web page, with the entire screen occupied by dark red.

Suddenly, the screen seemed to be torn open, and a red-haired little girl in a blue and white maid outfit was waving a pair of half-person-high scissors in her hands, giggling.

"It's time to go to bed. If you don't go to bed, Alice will cut off your tongue!"
