If nothing unexpected happens, this will be her way of survival for the rest of her life.

"Are you comforting me?"

Lin Zheng's mood improved slightly. He broke free from her hands and looked at her in surprise.

"What? Don't believe it?"

"Do not believe."

Lin Zheng shook his head repeatedly, but the stiffness on his face had unconsciously disappeared.

"Tsk, believe it or not, you are the first man I brought home."

Chen Yan pretended to be angry and pushed Lin Zheng away, then took out a ladies' cigarette from her pocket and lit it.

She told the truth, but this bastard didn't believe it. He is so ungrateful.

"Would you like one?"

She lit it and handed the cigarette to Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng thought about it and realized that he had never tried this thing before, so he took out one, but muttered something.

"Isn't this thing poisonous?"

He said this, but did not stop his actions.

He reached for the lighter placed on the quilt beside him, lit it up like Chen Yan had just done, and took a light puff.

"Hey? Aren't you afraid it's poisonous? Why are you still smoking it?"

Chen Yan rolled her eyes at Lin Zheng and said unhappily.

"Because I believe in you."

He said this casually, then took a light puff of his cigarette.

A puff of smoke entered my lungs, making me feel a little choked. Then an inexplicable sense of refreshment surged into my brain and dissipated in an instant.

Hey! You know what, this thing is quite useful when I'm feeling down.

Lin Zheng took two more puffs as if enjoying himself.

Chen Yan, who was standing by, smiled again after hearing Lin Zheng's words "Because I believe in you", but she did not continue with what she had just said, emphasizing that Lin Zheng was indeed the first man she brought back.

Some things don't need to be said much, just understand each other.

She leaned her head gently on Lin Zheng's shoulder, enjoying this moment of warmth.

Chapter 63: No money is also a problem

"Don't smoke this stuff, it hurts your lungs, you know?"

"It's getting late, I'll go back first."

After finishing a cigarette, Lin Zheng put out the butt and threw it into the trash can beside him, still saying words of disgust, looking like a man pulling up his pants and entering sage mode.

If the cigarette butt had thoughts, it would definitely curse the man as a scumbag.

"Well, I'll take you there."

Chen Yan also threw cigarette butts into the trash can, leaving them in pairs.

After sending her to the door, Chen Yan wanted to take Lin Zheng downstairs, but he refused and told her to have a good rest and not to hurt the skin on her thigh.

As he stepped onto the stairs, Lin Zheng looked back and saw Chen Yan standing at the door, smiling at him. As they looked at each other, she opened her hand and waved gently, saying goodbye.

Lin Zheng made the same move and then hid in the narrow corridor.

"I'm the first man she brought home. Isn't that incredible?"

After Lin Zheng left the community, he walked on the dimly lit sidewalk, trying to calm down the emotions that had been fluctuating in the house.

Although it was unbelievable, and he even suspected that he was being held like a fish by Chen Yan, the interactions during this period made him strongly believe in her.

"It's so difficult~, I don't even know I'm a fish."

He shook his head, then took out his cell phone to check the time. Not much time had passed since he was busy. It was still early, only half past nine.

So he called Wei Lingling to see if she had returned home.

When he learned that she was still at the hot pot restaurant and would be busy until after ten o'clock, Lin Zheng said that the time was just right and he could go pick her up and have a midnight snack together.

As soon as he got off work, Yang Xiangxiang dragged him to go cycling, and then he accompanied Chen Yan to remove her tattoo.

Only after he finished his work did he remember that he had not had dinner yet.

The evening breeze blew and my stomach growled with hunger.

When Wei Lingling on the other end of the phone learned that Lin Zheng had not eaten yet, she immediately said that she would pay for the midnight snack.

At about ten o'clock, Lin Zheng got off the bus at a stop near the hot pot restaurant.

Before they had walked far, Wei Lingling, looking delicate, walked quickly towards Lin Zheng carrying a white bag.

"Brother Lin, I packed some food from the store. We can go home and eat together."

"Hey! These meals aren't leftovers from the guests. I asked the uncle in the kitchen to help me make them with the leftover ingredients. It's free, hehe~."

Wei Lingling and Lin Zheng walked side by side, raising their little heads happily and proudly, waiting for praise.

After a day's work, her face showed signs of fatigue, and her hair on her forehead was disheveled, as if she had stained her face with water when she washed it, and then mixed it with oil smoke, forming scabs.

At this moment, the original girlish fragrance on her body had faded a lot, and then there was a more worldly smell.

"Wow, hot pot restaurants provide free food and drinks, and you can even take food home. That's really great."

Lin Zheng praised her as if he was coaxing a child, and the girl immediately nodded her head with joy.

After walking two steps, Lin Zheng took the bag from her hand and shared the pressure with her, while Wei Lingling's nose twitched slightly and her brows quickly became solemn.

"It's a strange smell."

She whispered unconsciously.

"Hmm? What did you say? What does it smell like?"

Lin Zheng didn't hear clearly and asked casually.

"Oh, nothing. By the way, Brother Lin, what do you do at school all day? Do you interact with many female classmates?"

"Not really. I usually just read books, read the newspaper, and drink tea. I'm pretty relaxed."

"Wow! This is awesome, right? I want to be a library worker too!"

"Haha~, this is a very difficult exam! And you need at least a bachelor's degree. If you want such a leisurely job, you have to continue studying."

Lin Zheng guided him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Okay~, it seems Lingling has suffered because of her lack of education. How pitiful~."

Wei Lingling pretended to sigh and automatically skipped the words "continue reading".

As they talked and laughed, the shadows under the street lights gradually lengthened until they disappeared.

......

On Saturday, Lin Zheng went home from his morning run as usual. After taking a shower, it was already nine o'clock.

Today he has to look for any vacant houses for rent near the community.

Chen Yan’s desired price for renting a house is less than 1,500 yuan, with an area of ​​30 to 60 square meters and sufficient home appliances.

Also, his rent is due today. If nothing unexpected happens, the old man will contact him at noon and ask him to pay the rent offline.

At first, Lin Zheng thought about transferring money to him directly on Weibo, so that there would not be so much trouble.

But the old man said he didn't know how to use that thing and insisted that he give him cash.

This is a common problem among many elderly people. They know how to use mobile phones, and most of them can also use cash payments, but they just don’t feel safe because they are afraid that their money will be transferred away by scammers.

So they trust cash more.

Lin Zheng first walked around the nearby corridors and wrote down the phone numbers of several owners who were renting out their houses.

Then he left the community and went to the nearest self-service transaction bank. On the way, he cashed out all his Weibo reserve funds, leaving him with exactly fifteen hundred yuan.

He calculated that after paying 1250 in rent, he would only have 250 left.

But as long as he can get through Monday and the girlfriend's agreement ends, he can instantly make back nearly 50,000 yuan.

"Fuck, I'm so broke. How about taking out a loan?"

Lin Zheng complained speechlessly.

Especially when you think about getting married, buying a house, a car, a betrothal gift, having children and other things, you will have to spend at least three or four million in Jiangcheng.

If it weren't for this agreement with his girlfriend, he might have to find a part-time job and work hard.

Of course, it is also possible that in the future he will find a wealthy woman and become a son-in-law, just like in the novel.

He's handsome, has a job, and is a wealthy woman, so you shouldn't refuse him, right?

Lin Zheng thought about it and realized that being handsome was the way to be invincible, so why would he need to wear knitted clothes?

But even with an agreement with his girlfriend, his starting point was too low, and the total amount after two transactions was less than 50,000.

He originally thought that he would meet true love, but if the money was gone, it was gone.

But later I found that even if I really met someone I liked, having no money would be a big problem.

With this in mind, after withdrawing the money, he ran to the bank next door to queue up and inquire about the loan matters and how much he could borrow.

Because he has good credit and a stable job, he can borrow ten times his monthly salary, which is 60,000 yuan.

As for fixed assets such as real estate in his hometown, they can also be used as collateral to borrow more money, but those things belong to his parents.

In the end, he borrowed 60,000 yuan using his own credit, and it was already noon when he finished the whole process.

The loan amount is disbursed within three to fifteen days and the interest rate is four percentage points.

After leaving the bank, the landlord called as promised and asked him to meet at the gate of the community to collect the rent.

When Lin Zheng arrived at the gate of the community, an unexpected person appeared in his sight, making his eyelids twitch wildly.

Today, Yang Xiangxiang wore the beige dress she bought that day, and stood gracefully at the gate of the community watching two old men play chess.

One of the old men was the landlord.

Uncle Yang was so focused on playing chess that he didn't notice Lin Zheng had arrived.

Chapter 64 Do you want a girlfriend?

Yang Xiangxiang, who was standing there doing nothing, was the first to notice him.

I saw her running towards me with a smile on her face.

"Uncle? What's going on? Why do I see you every day?"

"Hey? You're not really interested in me, are you? You keep creating opportunities for me to run into you."

There was a smile on her face, as if she saw through me.

After these two sentences, Lin Zheng's face turned black.

He knew that this old man's granddaughter was Yang Xiangxiang.

"Hello? Why are you here?"

He asked unhappily.

"I have to collect the rent, what else can I do?"

"I'll tell you a secret. My grandpa wants to introduce me to a guy. If I agree to come meet him, his rent for this month will be mine~!"

"I'll pay you back the 424 yuan I owe you, no! It's yuan. I, Yang Xiangxiang, will keep my word and return it all to you!"

Yang Xiangxiang beeped proudly.

"So, when you said you could pay me back next Monday, you really could, instead of going to..."

"Not going to what?"

Yang Xiangxiang blinked in confusion.
