Reborn, I am doing involution on Jinshan

Chapter 11 Neighbors Get to Know You

Yin Xiaoyao's phone rang. It was another stranger's number. She answered nervously, "Hello, who is this?"

A familiar voice came from the old father, Deng Guojun, who got straight to the point: "Xiaoyao, grandma is in the hospital. You two don't have to worry about the money. Your mother will be back tomorrow. Let her stay in the hospital with grandma. It won't affect your future."

His father knew that she had signed up for an English training class in the evening and that his younger brother was in his second year of high school and couldn't spare the time.

Yin Xiaoyao's mouth went dry after hearing this, and she overcame her embarrassment. "Dad... Dad, I understand. I asked the attending doctor today, and he said that surgery is risky for grandma due to her age."

The person on the phone who heard her finally call him dad was excited, and his voice became higher: "Your grandma has some underlying diseases, so we have to trust the doctor's skills. Yes... I heard that someone broke into the house, are you okay? The call came to me." The old father kept muttering worriedly.

Yin Xiaoyao replied, "Some silver jewelry and jewelry my mother gave me are missing. I think the loss is worth a few thousand. They haven't been found yet, and there's no news from the police station."

Deng Guojun frowned: "Is that so? How can you be such a jerk when you pay so much for property management fees? I'll settle the score with them when I get back."

Yin Xiaoyao felt a headache just thinking about the chaotic scene: "Dad... Dad, Grandpa and my brother are here. Do you want me to ask them to tell you about Grandma's situation?" "Okay" came the reply.

Yin Xiaoyao quickly called out, "Grandpa, Dad has something to talk to you about." After that, she handed her Huawei phone to her grandfather, and the father and son started chatting again.

Yin Xiaoyao sat on a chair at the dining table. Her younger brother Deng Chenjun looked at her with concern and asked in a low voice, "Is there a thief breaking into the house?"

Yin Xiaoyao nodded dejectedly: "Yes, the jewelry I saved my money to buy and the platinum necklace my mother gave me were all stolen. It was a huge loss."

Deng Chenjun frowned: "I'm glad you're okay, sister. It might be hard to find you, right?"

Despite his young age, he seemed quite open-minded and overly mature. He had long wanted to be close to his only sister, to have more contact, but his mother said his sister still refused to call them "Mom and Dad," so the idea of ​​recognition had been put on hold until today. Unexpectedly, his grandmother's illness had mended the small wall of resistance in his heart, and his sister had immediately accepted their existence, which was a pleasant surprise.

Yin Xiaoyao pointed at the front door and said, "Look at the front door! Last week I spent almost 2000 yuan to install an additional iron door and a smart combination lock. It's such a waste of money."

Deng Chenjun walked over and looked at the iron gate: "This door is well installed. I will reimburse you when I make money in the future." He patted his chest and said proudly

Grandpa Deng Chongming finished chatting and handed her his phone. He also walked out of the door and observed the surroundings for a while before walking back inside. "Xiaoyao, the thief probably knew you were going out, so he broke into your house while you were away. Such an expensive house doesn't have any surveillance installed. Let your brother stay here for a few days. With men coming in and out, he won't dare to bully a girl like you."

Yin Xiaoyao nodded, feeling a warmth in her heart. Deng Chenjun said firmly, "Don't worry, sister. I'm here and won't let anyone bully you."

Neighbor Bai Yilong came back and saw the door open. He glanced at them curiously and then left. Seeing the two of them staring at her, Yin Xiaoyao shrugged and said, "They're new neighbors who moved in a few days ago. I don't know them well." The two of them said "hmm".

The two men took a shower, and the younger brother came back after sending grandpa back to the hospital to accompany grandma.

Yin Xiaoyao sat at her desk, carefully took out the English tape, gently pressed the play button, and then listened attentively to every word and sentence. Sometimes she nodded slightly to show her understanding; sometimes she frowned slightly, pondering the meaning.

Just then, there was a gentle, rhythmic knock on the door. Yin Xiaoyao put down her pen, stood up, and walked to the door. Opening it, she saw the strikingly handsome neighbor, Bai Yilong. He stood there smiling, holding two bunches of grapes that sparkled like purple gemstones.

Bai Yilong looked at Yin Xiaoyao gently and said softly, "Hello, female neighbor, I meet someone. My name is Bai Yilong. What's your name?" Then he stretched out his long legs, pushed her aside, and entered the house.

Don't hit a smiling person when he speaks. Yin Xiaoyao looked at the grapes handed to her and saw that he meant no harm. She casually replied, "Yin Xiaoyao, when did you move in?"

"These are fresh grapes I just picked from the orchard. I thought of sending some to you to try." His voice was low and magnetic, and it entered Yin Xiaoyao's ears like beautiful notes.

Yin Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel a little surprised and touched. She quickly took the grapes and thanked Bai Yillong: "Thank you, Brother Bai! These grapes look so tempting, they must be very sweet." Her face was filled with a sweet smile, like a blooming flower.

Bai Yilong smiled, his eyes falling on the open English book on Yin Xiaoyao's desk. He asked with concern, "You seem to be studying English so hard. Do you have any exams or important things to do recently? If you need any help, just let me know."

Yin Xiaoyao nodded and replied a little embarrassedly: "Well... actually there's nothing special, I just want to improve my English. But I still appreciate your concern. If there is something I don't understand, I might trouble you to help me answer it." As she said that, she winked playfully.

The two smiled at each other, and a warm and harmonious atmosphere filled the air. In this beautiful moment, the distance between them seemed to be one step closer...

He glanced around the house, decorated entirely in white. The creamy white curtains with floral patterns swayed softly in the autumn breeze. The house was bright and warm, though a bit of a hassle to clean. He asked, "Why is this a two-bedroom apartment? I've seen many with three or four bedrooms."

Yin Xiaoyao didn't feel offended. She searched Baidu and realized that no matter how luxurious the rooms in the other world were, they were not as grand and magnificent as the palace she lived in when she was the female imperial tutor. She said calmly, "This is a house my parents gave me. It's enough for me to live in. I can afford it myself."

After she had lived there for a long time, she realized that Haoting Garden was a wealthy area, with prices exceeding ten thousand yuan per square meter. Once she let it slip that her colleagues looked at her with envy.

Bai Yilong raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It seems that your parents love you very much. Actually, I can't afford it either. My family rents the house for me."

Yin Xiaoyao smiled gently, a trace of nostalgia flashing in her eyes: "Yes, they have always spoiled me."

Bai Yilong walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and said thoughtfully: "The environment here is quite good."

Yin Xiaoyao walked up to him and nodded: "Yeah, my parents also saw this in their thinking."

The two of them were close to each other, and Bai Yilong could vaguely smell a pleasant magnolia scent.

The two were silent for a moment. Bai Yilong suddenly turned his head and looked at Yin Xiaoyao, saying seriously, "Actually, the size of the house is not important. What matters is that you live comfortably." Yin Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief, "You're right."
