Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

In the bathhouse.

Boys always take a shower faster than girls. When He Xi came out, Lu Jinan should have finished showering long ago.

His hair had grown a little longer, and the bangs on his forehead were messily lifted up, not as sharp as before, making him look dull.

There was no hair dryer at the moment, so He Xi's wet hair hung down behind her, and her little face became white and rosy under the steam of the hot water.

Seeing her, Lu Jinan frowned, picked up his towel and quickly covered He Xi's little face. No, it was too tempting. From now on, he must be there when she takes a shower outside.

"What are you doing?" He Xi's voice was muffled.

"I'll dry your hair for you."

"Washing my hair, why are you covering my face?"

Lu Jinan stopped what he was doing when he heard that. He Xi broke out of the towel and looked up at him.

He lowered his head and smiled, then used one hand to pinch He Xi's face, tilted his head to her ear, and said with a fake smile, "You have a face that brings disaster to the country and the people. What should I do with you?"

What He Xi heard was him praising her for her good looks. Girls all like to hear others say that they are good-looking, even without makeup, and she is no exception.

She smiled and said, "Remember to praise me more in the future. Girls become more beautiful the more they are praised."

They were completely on different wavelengths, so Lu Jinan gave up.

He Xi's hair was soft and smooth. Lu Jinan reminded her with his movements, sometimes lightly and sometimes heavily, but He Xi completely ignored him.

But this scene made others envious.

The bathhouse belongs to He Xi's workplace. Lu Jinan came to pick her up from get off work today and rode Xiao Yan's bicycle back from where he had parked it at the town government last time. Unexpectedly, He Xi invited him to take a bath.

He was absent-minded for a moment, and then He Xi found that his ears were red. The domineering president must have thought of something. He was also at an age where he was ignorant and yearning for love. The forbidden fruit of love was always very tempting.

Some of the other lesbians in the hall had the guts to peek at Lu Jinan, while others couldn't help but secretly look at them. They were a couple with divine looks.

Especially the scene when the boy is wiping the girl's hair, he is so careful not to hurt the girl, and the girl is chatting with him in a low voice with gentle eyes.

Their ambiguous pink atmosphere is all around, and the jealous girls are all sighing that the girls and boys boldly express their love for each other. When will they be able to date so openly?

I stopped looking. The girls around me just shook their towels vigorously. They were just taking a shower and drying their hair. What was there to envy?

But they didn't know that He Xi's hair had become frizzy because of him. He Xi and Lu Jinan looked at her in the mirror, one was speechless while the other couldn't help laughing.

Dating costs hair?!

On the way back, when they came to a place where they couldn't ride the bikes, they got off and pushed the bikes, chatting while they went.

He Xi couldn't help but ask Lu Jinan: "How are the housing prices in Beijing?"

What he heard was that she urged him to buy a house that belonged to them. Was it because of He's mother that she didn't want to live with her elders? Well, if you are close to them, they will stink, but if you are far away, they will smell good. This is also something that should be considered.

Lu Jinan looked proud: "Don't worry, the money I saved is enough to buy a house you like, any kind will do."

He Xi looked at him in confusion and said, "I want to buy a Beijing courtyard house, put my name on it, and make it my own."

Lu Jinan nodded: "Okay, no problem, just be happy."

He Xi was anxious, because what she said was not what he thought. The Siheyuan house had huge potential for appreciation, and he could sell it in the future and make a fortune, or just keep it.

"No, that's not what I meant. I wanted to..."

Lu Jinan interrupted her and asked coldly, "I really want to know what's going on in your mind. You always reject other people's kindness to you."

He parked the car, walked to He Xi, took off his gloves, raised his hands to pinch her cheeks, covered half of her face with his clean and warm palms, and said, "Remember, I am not someone else, I am your eternal retreat."

He felt sorry for what he had done to He Xi, so he let go of her hand and rubbed her body, then listed her crimes with a hum.

He Xi was stunned listening to him talking. How could she not know about so many crimes she had committed?

For example, she didn't look for him the first time when she got home, didn't look at him carefully before going to work, didn't say goodnight before going to bed, and why didn't she look for him when testing the saltiness of the dishes she cooked...

He Xi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, it was so childish!

The air was quiet for a while. He calmed down.

Lu Jinan returned to his previous position and pushed his bicycle. He Xi kept staring at his expression.

He tilted his head, and laughed at He Xi who was always stretching his neck, and said, "It's not expensive. You can buy a courtyard house next to the Forbidden City for between 10,000 and 30,000 yuan."

"Next to the Forbidden City? Are you sure?"

"Well, if it were my wife, she would want to live in a 10,000 square meter building known as the 'Crown of the East'. Alas! What a pity that you don't want it." Lu Jinan said with a look of regret.

"What? I want it."

"you want?"

"Yes, me." He Xu's eyes lit up, he stepped forward and grabbed Lu Jinan's arm, not even wanting the bicycle anymore.

"No, you're not my wife yet, this is a bit difficult." Lu Jinan pretended to think.

"I can do it." For the sake of Siheyuan, He Xi began to recommend himself.

Then he snorted coldly: "You are a greedy person. Got it."

The courtyard house he was talking about is the Chongli Residence in Beijing, located at No. 63 and 65 Dongsi th Street, bordering Nanbanqiao Hutong to the east, Yueguang Hutong to the west, and Dongsi th Street to the north.

Lu Jinan took the initiative to hug He Xi and said proudly: “You said it.”

He put his head on He Xi's shoulder, like a pitiful little thing, and kept pressing his face against hers.
