Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Zhou Leng couldn't remember who said this - a couple is like two mouths eating three meals a day for a lifetime. So the only thing he was thankful for was that he and Shi Ying had the same taste, and being able to eat together was a blessing in disguise for him.

After three rounds of drinking, after five stomachs of eating.

Zhou Leng took out his cell phone and found the chat history with Chen Juan. He handed the phone to Shi Ying and said:

"Xiaoying, look at what Chen Juan means. I think you should not be too nice to her in the future. You treat her as a friend, but she doesn't treat you as a friend. She even slanders you behind your back."

Shi Ying took the phone and looked at the chat records. She was angry in her heart, but she smiled and asked, "Why, you rejected the beautiful woman who came to your door?"

Zhou Leng said jokingly, "I already have someone in my heart, so I won't pay attention to her." He stared at Shi Ying's face and said seriously:

"Don't rent with her anymore. Chen Juan has bad intentions. Let's rent together. I don't want to live with my parents anymore. What do you think?"

Shi Ying was stunned. She actually felt it was a little sudden.

Zhou Leng said again:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just Chunchun's roommate. I'm really worried about you living with Chen Juan. As for our relationship, I want to live under the same roof with you so that you can get to know me better. Over the years, I feel bad for you when I see you meet someone who is not your right person. But I don't want to force you. Living together is a test for me. To be honest, we are not young anymore. I'm tired of waiting. If you say to me in the end: You are not the one who can make me happy. After hearing this, I will definitely stay away from you and never see you again in this life."

Zhou Leng wanted to speed up the process. After all, they would have been married in their previous life. Besides, he didn't want to wait any longer.

Shi Ying ate in silence for a while before she made up her mind and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and tell Chen Juan that I won't be sharing the rent with her starting next month. It just so happens that my lease is about to expire."

Zhou Leng replied: "Then I'll start looking for a house now. The house my family bought for us is a pre-sale house. It just came down and hasn't been renovated yet." He said as if he just realized it and said: "Don't get me wrong, I know you are not a materialistic girl, I just thought of it and said it casually."

Only Zhou Leng himself knows whether it was just a casual remark or not.

Shi Ying lowered her head to hide her joy. She said, "I didn't think much about it. It's just that I've never heard you mention it before, so I was a little surprised. After all, the housing prices in our city have soared in the past two years. I didn't expect your family to buy you a house?"

Zhou Leng replied: "Actually, I bought it with a loan. The price was lower two years ago, and I still have to pay back the loan every month. But the school district there is pretty good. Do you know Hengming Yaju?"

Shi Ying looked up in surprise and said:

"Hengming Yaju? I actually know that. The environment inside is nice and the surrounding facilities are pretty good." She did know that she had been to that area to find a scumbag.

The two began to talk about other topics.

After dinner, one went home and the other went to work.

Shi Ying returned to the rental house. She was not hysterical, nor did she question or curse. Instead, she lived her life as usual. She planned to say nothing and do nothing. She would just wait until the next time when the rent was due to be paid and then tell the other party that she would not rent the house anymore, as it would screw her over.

That evening, when Chen Juan sent a message to Han Hao again, she realized that they were no longer friends with each other. She could only curse him inwardly and let the seduction go.

Zhou Leng finally rented a two-bedroom apartment that was closer to Shi Ying's workplace. Although it was not in the city center, there was a subway not far away. The decoration was warm and one could move in with just a suitcase. The rental conditions were much better than the one that Shi Ying and her friends rented together. In this second-tier city, the monthly rent of 3,000 yuan was considered high.

Shi Ying found a moving company to move in the morning while Chen Juan was at work.

Zhou Leng didn't come to help because he was busy, but fortunately, Shi Ying's belongings were mostly clothes and there was no furniture, so the mover could do it alone.

That evening.

Chen Juan returned to the rental house and looked at the living room where half of the things were missing. She walked to the house where Shi Ying lived and knocked on the door. After no one answered, she pushed the door open and walked in. After turning on the light, she saw that the house was empty. She picked up her phone and called Shi Ying.

After the call was connected, the other party spoke in a friendly voice as if nothing had happened:

"Hey, Juanjuan, I was so busy that I forgot to tell you. Don't mind it. Our lease is about to expire, and I don't plan to continue sharing the house. My parents bought me a small apartment in this city. I was so busy that I forgot to tell you. I'm sorry."

Shi Ying deliberately said that the house was bought by her parents to make the other party jealous.

Chen Juan asked angrily:

"You are crazy. The rent is due soon. Where can I find someone to share the rent with? If you want to leave, tell me in advance."

Shi Ying's voice, still with a smile, reached Chen Juan's ears:

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I thought there was still one month of rent left. Sorry, I'm busy here, so I'll hang up first."

After Shi Ying hung up the phone, she stood in the living room and put her phone aside. She stretched comfortably and relievedly and continued to clean and tidy up. She thought to herself that looking at this warm little house and comparing it with the broken and cold kiln where she lived before, and also because she was angry with Chen Juan, she hummed a little tune with satisfaction.

Zhou Leng got off work early today and went home early. Han Chengwen hadn't gotten off work yet, and only Zhang Li was preparing dinner. When he passed by the kitchen, he looked at the cheap mommy who was not looking at him, and then went straight to his room to pack his luggage without saying hello.

Zhou Leng took out two woven bags from the cupboard and put his quilt, sheets, and clothes in them. As for computers and other equipment, he had already packed them into cardboard boxes.

After packing up everything, when Zhou Leng moved the boxes, opened the door and was about to go out, he found Zhang Li blocking the door.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"What are you moving things for?"

Zhou Leng replied: "I rented a house outside and will live outside for a while."

Zhang Li asked again: "Who do you share the apartment with?"

"I'm leaving my own house to share with someone else. Who else could it be other than Shi Ying? But we're sharing the house. I'm still pursuing her, and she hasn't agreed yet. She fell down while walking in high heels, and she lost her child. She's been weak recently, so living together is a good way for us to take care of her."

Zhang Li looked at her son who still had no rationality at all. She compromised and said, "Okay, you can move out. Your father and I won't be bothered if we don't see you. To be honest, I'm tired of you tossing around and don't want to take care of you anymore."

Zhou Leng turned around and put his things down. He walked over to hug Zhang Li and said, "Mom, I'm sorry for making you and Dad worry about me all the time, but I have to live my life on my own. Don't worry, I will live well."

Zhang Li, who had not been close to her son for a long time, shed two tears and patted her son's back hard.

After a while.

Zhou Leng took out two shopping cards from his pocket.

Zhang Li asked: "What is it?"

Zhou Leng said, "It's from the company. It's almost the holidays. There's 2,000 yuan in it, which can be used in any shopping mall in the big family. I must give it to my beloved mother to enjoy."

Zhang Li took the card and put it in her pocket, then turned and left into the kitchen. Only after she heard her son move all his things and leave did she slowly walk out of the kitchen and into her son's room.
