I'm in love

The three people received the news of the rent increase almost at the same time. It was like a bolt from the blue, and the two younger people panicked and didn't know what to do. They were like headless flies, and they couldn't afford so much money at all! At this moment, only Fan Shengmei remained calm. She picked up her phone without hesitation and called the landlord.

Fan Shengmei said in a gentle but firm tone: "Sister, please be kind and understand us. These two children are new and they are really short of money." Then she explained emotionally: "As for me, the burden of the family is like a mountain pressing down on my eggs. I have to earn money to support my family, so I am really short of money. Can you please let us go this time and don't raise the rent for us, okay?"

However, no matter how Fan Shengmei tried to persuade her, the landlady remained adamant and refused to give in. In the end, Fan Shengmei had no choice but to hang up the phone. At this moment, Lin Yan walked into 2202 carrying the food that Tan Zongming had bought.

Lin Yan knocked on the door gently and called softly, "Sister Fan, Yingying, Xiaoguan."

Before he finished his words, he heard footsteps coming from the room, then the door opened and Guan Juer appeared at the door.

As soon as she stepped into the room, Lin Yan heard Fan Shengmei's voice coming from inside: "There are two options. Either each person gets a raise of 500 yuan, or pack up and leave!" Her tone was firm and resolute, which made people feel a little nervous.

Lin Yan asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Where are you going?"

Qiu Yingying replied with a sad face: "Yanyan, don't you know that the landlord is going to raise our rent! We have to pay an extra 500 yuan a month!"

Then she grumbled in frustration: "Where can I get her five hundred dollars?"

Guan Juer sighed helplessly and said, "There's no other way, we can only save it." Obviously, they were very distressed about this matter.

Lin Yan thought about it, and then said resolutely: "Well... I'll help you pay the 500 yuan." Her words made Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer open their eyes in surprise.

Qiu Yingying quickly waved her hands and refused: "How can this be? How can we take your money?" Guan Juer also echoed: "Yes! This is too embarrassing."

Lin Yan smiled and comforted them, "Just think of it as a loan from me to you. If you're worried, just write me an IOU and pay me back when you have money. We are all friends, and we should help each other." Her eyes were full of sincerity and kindness, which made it impossible to refuse.

Lin Yan frowned and said, "I can't really let you move away!"

Guan Juer was moved and took her hand: "Thank you, Yanyan. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know what to do."

Qiu Yingying was so excited that she hugged Lin Yan: "Yan Yan, I love you so much!"

Lin Yan smiled and comforted them: "Okay, don't think too much. Come and see what I brought you." As she spoke, she opened a big bag filled with all kinds of food.

Fan Shengmei came forward curiously, looked at the dazzling array of food, and asked in confusion: "Yanyan, what is this...?" Lin Yan smiled and explained: "These are all sent by others. There are too many to eat at home, and I am worried that they will expire and be wasted, so I thought of bringing some over to give to you."

Qiu Yingying screamed excitedly: "Wow, Guan Guan, look, this looks so delicious!"

Her eyes sparkled, and she picked up another piece of food. "That one tastes good too! Yanyan, are these all sent by your friends? How come each one is so tempting!"

Guan Juer was also attracted, licked her lips and said: "Yingying, please stop talking for a while, you're making me hungry."

Fan Shengmei said to Lin Yan gratefully: "Thank you, Lin Yan, for always taking care of us."

Lin Yan waved her hand to indicate that you're welcome, and continued: "You guys share it, I still need to send some to Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao." After that, she turned and left, leaving the three girls happily sharing the food.

Qu Xiaoxiao was fully engaged in the project with Mr. Wang at this time and had no time to return to the Ode to Joy community. Therefore, Lin Yan took the initiative to take on the task of delivering the items to Andy's home.

When Lin Yan arrived at Andy's house, she knocked on the doorbell. After a while, the door opened and it was Xiao Ming who appeared in front of her. He stood there quietly, holding a paintbrush in his hand, and was obviously concentrating on his painting.

Lin Yan smiled at Xiao Ming, walked into the room, and put the things in her hands aside. At this time, Andy was sitting at the desk busy, and seemed not to notice Lin Yan's arrival. Lin Yan did not disturb him too much, and simply said hello and prepared to leave. After all, there were people at home waiting for her to return.

Just as Lin Yan turned to leave, she couldn't help but look back at Xiao Ming. The child's innocent eyes and love for art made her feel warm. Although it was only a brief contact, Lin Yan could feel the tranquility and beauty deep in Xiao Ming's heart.

Lin Yan silently wished that Xiao Ming could continue to maintain his passion for life and grow up healthily and happily in the future. Then, she stepped out of Andy's house and embarked on the road home. The person at home was also anxiously looking forward to her return...
