The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

It's funny to think about, but as for this Xiao Qiu, she's only just moved in and she's already interested in Xiao Mingkun... Well, people like her are usually not wary of men and women, and they're quite bold.

"I don't know him very well. I've only moved here a few days ago. He... lives next door, I guess." If someone lives far away, they can make an excuse not knowing. But if someone lives so close, saying they don't know is obviously lying.

"Oh, I see! That's very close to us. By the way, isn't Kun very handsome? I wonder if he has a girlfriend?"

Yun Shu's eyes twitched upon hearing her words. This girl is too open-minded. She hasn't even met him yet, and she's already thinking about him. She went straight to the point. Feeling a little uncomfortable, she said in a slightly rude tone, "I don't know either. Why don't you ask him yourself another day? Okay, I have to go to the early shift tomorrow, so I need to go to bed early."

When Yun Shu spoke in a dismissive tone, Tan Xiaoqiu pursed her lips, clearly dissatisfied with Yun Shu's overly forceful tone. However, Yun Shu had to go to work tomorrow, and it was already quite late, probably around 11 pm. She would talk to her again tomorrow night. Since Yun Shu worked at the hospital, it would be convenient for Tan Xiaoqiu to ask her for help if she ever bumped into something.

Xiao Qiu was quite happy to go back; it seems moving here was a good idea.

She just moved out of her ex-boyfriend's place today. He was a freeloader who only made a pittance, not even enough for the two of them to eat. So she decisively ended their six-month relationship.

Yun Shu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xiao Qiu finally leave. Unlike Xu Ruo, Xiao Qiu was different. Although both of them were carefree, Xu Ruo was heartless and straightforward. Yun Shu felt that Xiao Qiu was somewhat opportunistic and two-faced. Yun Shu always kept her distance from such people and didn't like to get close to them.

After a quick wash, Yun Shu went to sleep. She had to work the 7 a.m. shift tomorrow—she was exhausted! Earning a meager salary and working like a cow every day, it was no wonder even Xiao Qiu had looked down on her. However, she had to buy a house and support her aunt's family, so it was much easier for her than for others who only had to support themselves.

After a quick shower, she went to sleep and slept until dawn. When she woke up, Yun Shu heard what sounded like a door opening next door. Could it be that Xiao Mingkun had returned?

Ignoring him and not wanting to have anything to do with him anymore, I quickly washed up, grabbed my bag, and left.

Xiao Mingkun had just returned from his business trip and had only been inside for a short while when he heard the sound of a door opening and closing next door. It was only a little past six o'clock. Was Yun Shu going to work so early today?

I plan to go see her tonight. I haven't seen her for a few days, and for some reason, I really want to see her as soon as I get back.

After Xiao Mingkun returned home and took a nap, he went out again. This time, the people in the community didn't know that he had returned from his business trip.

"Ah Shu, my dad's friend sent a lot of fruit. I'll be at your place in a bit. Are you home yet?" Xu Ruo said, carrying the fruit. She opened the car door as soon as she finished speaking, regardless of whether Yun Shu agreed or not, she was going to Yun Shu's house.

It was a little past six o'clock. Yun Shu had just finished eating when she received a call from Xu Ruo. She guessed that Xu Ruo probably didn't want to stay at home and had come out to bother her again. She heard that some of Xu Ruo's friends had recently gone on a trip abroad. Xu Ruo's father wouldn't let her go out or move out. Xu Ruo didn't want to stay at home these past few days. She didn't have a job and didn't have to go to work. She wandered around all day and was bored.

Xu Ruo arrived shortly afterward, bringing a bag of fruit.

"You really have to bring me fruit!" Yun Shu said happily.

"Of course, the old man almost drove me crazy by locking me up. I made a deal with him that I wouldn't go abroad or move out, but my allowance would be doubled. The old man agreed, so of course I made up with him. This really was brought from the south by his friend, it's very fresh."

Yun Shu took the fruit, picked up some, went to the kitchen to wash it, put it in a fruit bowl, and then came back.

Xu Ruo brought seasonal fruits, such as grapes, longans, and mangoes.

Yun Shu had just finished eating and didn't want to eat anymore, so she watched Xu Ruo eat while talking to her.

When the door was knocked, Yun Shu was a little confused. Could it be Xiao Mingkun knocking on the door?

"Ah Shu! Why don't you go open the door?" After saying that, she got up and went to open the door.

Tan Xiaoqiu got off work a little early today, so she came to find Yun Shu. She had just moved here and didn't know anyone.

"Hey...who are you? Yun Shu's friend?" She had short hair, was dressed casually, was about the same height as Yun Shu, and had a good figure—not too fat, not too thin. This woman would probably be a good model.

Xu Ruo's eye twitched, and she replied directly, "Hmm! Who are you?"

“I am Yunshu’s neighbor’s neighbor.”

Xu Ruo then made way for her to come in. Xu Ruo found it rare to see a woman taller than herself, although she wasn't very tall either, and they lived on the same floor, so she let her in.

"Xiao Qiu, you're off work. Come over and have some fruit with us," Yun Shu called out.

"Sister Yunshu, that's so kind of you. I was just a little hungry, thank you!" I had just gotten off work and didn't want to stay at home, so I came here.

"You're welcome. If you want to thank someone, thank my friend. The fruit was brought by Xu Ruo!"

"Oh! Thank you, Xu Ruo!"

Xu Ruo looked at the woman in front of her. How to put it? If this were ancient times, she would have a strong sense of worldliness about her. She must be a complicated woman. Her makeup was too heavy, and she was wearing a low-cut short skirt that showed off her good figure, but her overall temperament was much worse. She could be compared to a hostess in a nightclub, but her bar didn't have that kind of thing going on.

"By the way, what do you do for a living?" Xiao Qiu had just sat down and eaten a grape when Xu Ruo asked.

"I'm an amateur model, not even third-rate. I haven't been in the business long. I just did a photoshoot for a game company, shooting a character from one of their games. I wasn't the lead, just a supporting character. Even so, I'm still very happy. The company is quite famous. And I think modeling is a very interesting job; I can dress myself up beautifully every day. I've already won awards like the National Newcomer Award in the Print Model Competition, and I've also done photoshoots for several fashion magazines, including *Men's Health*. Among my classmates, I'm considered pretty successful."

After explaining her profession, Xiao Qiu became even more talkative, so she asked Xu Ruo, "You don't work at a hospital either, do you?"

Xu Ruo paused in her hand as she reached for the fruit, then turned around and said in a very good mood, "Me? I'm unemployed, a homebody, but... I have a good dad!" It was a blatant display of wealth, ignoring Xiao Qiu's surprised look.

What's there to brag about? She's just a newbie model, what's there to show off?

Xiao Qiu felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. This Xu Ruo was a rich second generation. No wonder he seemed so arrogant. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the sound of a door opening and closing next door. Could it be that Brother Kun was back?

So he immediately said to her, "Brother Kun is back. I have something to do. You two can chat slowly." After saying that, he hurriedly left.
