Love That Extends Life

Chu Yunhao thought Gao Yanmei came here to tutor him in English, but Gao Yanmei came with her parents to get familiar with the place, so she and her parents stayed in Chu Yunhao's house for more than 20 minutes before leaving with her parents.

Gao Shengli brought Chu Yunhao rice, flour, grain, oil, and two large bags of fruits and vegetables. According to Gao Shengli, he couldn't bring his children to meet the master empty-handed, so Chu Yunhao had no choice but to accept them.

Gao Yanmei is a junior high school student, and she is a well-behaved student, which is different from Ye Xiaomai who calls him "big brother". Therefore, facing such an innocent female student, it will be much easier to tutor her in English in the future.

Chu Yunhao saw Gao Shengli and his family off. When he was about to close the door, he saw the tenants of the house coming back from afar.

There were seven tenants living in the mansion. Except for Chu Yunhao who lived in the main house of the landlord, the other six tenants lived in the sheds in the courtyard. Except for one tenant he had never seen, he had met the other five tenants. The so-called meeting and contact was just a nod and greeting.

The three tenants in the right row of sheds in the courtyard, the tenant closest to the landlord's main house is a middle-aged couple who scrape white, the tenant in the middle is Chen Haitao and Aunt Zhao's family, and the one next to Aunt Zhao's is Wu Yanzi's rental. The tenants of the left row of sheds opposite Wu Yanzi are a young couple, the tenant in the middle is a middle-aged man who runs a business, and the other tenants are a middle-aged couple who do business in the farmers' market. Among the six tenants, Aunt Zhao has lived in the courtyard the longest, having lived there for more than five years; the second is the couple who do business in the farmers' market, who have lived there for more than four years; then the couple who scrape white who have lived there for three years, the young couple who have lived there for two years, and Wu Yanzi who has lived there for more than a year.

Chu Yunhao learned all of this from the landlord, and of course from Chen Xinxin. Wu Yanzi came late, and she didn't care much about the surrounding things, so she was not willing to talk about the things in the house.

The two tenants who returned were the young couple. They did not look very happy, but when they passed by Chu Yunhao, they nodded and responded to Chu Yunhao's greeting.

"Oh! By the way, the landlord's family went out for a trip today, and they will be back tomorrow night. So the landlord, Uncle Wang, gave me the keys to the solar-powered shower room and water room. Just come to me when you need them." Chu Yunhao said politely.

"Okay, got it! Thank you!" the man turned around and said politely.

The landlord and his family went out for a trip on the weekend, and before leaving they handed over some things in the house to him, which was also to ask him to fulfill the responsibilities left by the landlord.

It was around two o'clock in the afternoon. It was still very hot outside, and Chen Xinxin had already gone into the house to study.

Although there are many tenants in the mansion, it seems very quiet. Perhaps the tenants are all busy making a living and few of them can relax.

Now, Chu Yunhao might be a free man. He sat quietly on a chair under the eaves, sometimes watching the clouds roll by, sometimes tapping the chair with his fingers, as if he was still in a California villa on the other side of the ocean...

Chu Yunhao has always been a sports-loving and energetic teenager from elementary school to junior high school. Although he occasionally felt unwell, he still liked sports. At that time, he also learned martial arts and Sanda. However, everything changed after entering high school. In high school and college life, studying became the main theme, and his hidden illness began to flare up, so he gradually did less sports. Whenever his free time came, apart from a simple walk, he could only sit quietly, as if he had suddenly lost his former vitality and energy.

The boy who used to love sports disappeared. Due to the high-intensity study pressure and lack of proper exercise in high school, his health gradually deteriorated. Hidden diseases began to frequently visit him, making it impossible for him to run freely on the playground and enjoy the joy of sports as before.

As a result, sitting quietly became a normal part of his daily life. Whether in the classroom or back at the villa, he always sat quietly on the chair, his eyes confused and empty. The youth that should have been full of vigor and vitality was now filled with endless silence and stillness. He missed his agile figure on the sports field and envied the figures of those athletes. But the reality was so cruel that it trapped him in a small space and he couldn't break free.

As the days passed, he gradually got used to this static lifestyle. Although deep down he still longed for the passion and release brought by sports, his physical limitations made him powerless. Perhaps one day, when he regained his health, he would still be that sunny and free-spirited man.

"Big brother, how do you solve this problem?"

At this time, Chen Xinxin came over with her homework book and asked about the questions she didn't know how to do.

"Oh!"

Chu Yunhao withdrew his thoughts from his meditation and began to answer Chen Xinxin's difficult questions.

When Chen Xinxin figured out the solution to the problem, she left happily.

"Haha! Days like this are not bad!"

Chu Yunhao raised the corners of his mouth and actually laughed secretly.

His father and mother are busy every day, and they also have to attend various events and meetings. The life of the upper class is not necessarily a happy enjoyment.

Without the messy ears of silk and bamboo, the labor of no case.

Chu Yunhao felt that this was the kind of life he was living now. Life was simple, even as simple as being washed by water. It was tasteless yet he felt it was full of flavor.

Time will seem to pass quickly on busy and fulfilling days, but time will seem to pass slowly on leisurely and simple days. As you experience it slowly, you will naturally taste the flavor of life.

"Hey! Bro, I'm here to get the key to the solar-powered shower room. My girlfriend just came back and she wants to take a shower!"

The male couple came back and asked Chu Yunhao for the key to the solar shower room. Chu Yunhao immediately gave him the key on the windowsill.

"Okay, here you go!"

"Well, thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

The man took the key and went to the solar-powered shower room to open the door, then went home to call his girlfriend to come in.

After the female couple entered the solar-powered shower room, the male couple, who had nothing to do, went over to Chu Yunhao and started chatting.

Chu Yunhao brought a chair to the male couple and they continued chatting.

It turns out that the man in the couple is named Chu Ningyu. He has the same surname as Chu Yunhao, but he is 24 years old this year, one year younger than Chu Yunhao. He and his girlfriend are both from Yangjiang Town, Gaochun County, Nanshi. His girlfriend is Meng Xinyao, the same age as him. They studied together in the local high school and were later admitted to the Industrial University of Nanshi together. It was during their college years that the two fell in love and became a sweet couple. After graduating from college, they rented a house to live together and began looking for jobs. He and his girlfriend both have a college degree, and it is not easy to find an ideal job in Nanshi. So, in a year, the two changed jobs frequently, but they had a common agreement-to settle down in Nanshi. The two believed that one day in the future, they would have stable jobs and a house of their own.
