Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

"By then you won't know anything, all you'll know is how to eat well, use the best things, and spend money."

"If you get like this, Auntie will have a real headache."

Deng Xiaoqi, born in 1998, felt that what Yi Ge said made a lot of sense.

Deng Xiaoqi quickly noticed another problem and said, "Brother Yi, what about you? Aren't you afraid I'll develop bad habits of laziness?"

Lin Yi smiled and shook his head: "The reason I do this is because I believe that my Xiaoqi is not that kind of girl."

Upon hearing this, Deng Xiaoqi couldn't help but smile, feeling incredibly happy.

Deng Xiaoqi immediately said, "That's right, Brother Yi, you have such good taste. I'm not the kind of girl I'm supposed to be."

“For me, material conditions are indeed important, but not particularly important.”

"I can eat delicacies every day, but I can also eat in the cafeteria."

"Brother Yi, don't worry, I would never be that kind of person."

Lin Yi smiled and hummed in agreement.

Lin Yi's hand brushed through Deng Xiaoqi's hair, leaving the scent of her hair on his hand.

Lin Yi asked, "Are you tired? Are you sleepy?"

Lin Yi's words only made Deng Xiaoqi yawn unconsciously.

Deng Xiaoqi yawned and said, "Brother Yi, I'm actually a little sleepy."

"Then you should get some sleep."

"Mmm." Deng Xiaoqi asked, "Brother Yi, will you hold me while we sleep later?"

Lin Yi smiled and affirmed, "Yes. Don't worry, I definitely won't leave."

"That's fine then," Deng Xiaoqi said with a smile.

Lin Yi carried Deng Xiaoqi to the room and held her close.

Not long after,

Nestled in Lin Yi's arms, Deng Xiaoqi slowly drifted off to sleep.

Seeing this, Lin Yi pecked Deng Xiaoqi in his arms and then closed his eyes to rest for a while.

Two hours later, Deng Xiaoqi woke up and found that Yi Ge was staring at her.

Yi Ge had a refreshing smile on his face.

"Brother Yi," Deng Xiaoqi called softly.

Lin Yi smiled and asked, "Awake?"

"Mm." Deng Xiaoqi nodded.

Lin Yi asked, "Did you sleep well? Did you sleep comfortably?"

Deng Xiaoqi smiled and said, "Yes, I slept until now, it was so comfortable."

Lin Yi checked the time and said, "Xiao Qi, I'm leaving in a bit. Are you going home or staying at a hotel?"

Deng Xiaoqi said, "Let's stay in the hotel. My mom is very busy with her business and is rarely home."

"Even if I go home, there's no one there to keep me company."

"Brother Yi, I'm reading in the hotel, waiting for you to come back."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Okay, Xiao Qi is so good."

As Lin Yi spoke, he touched Deng Xiaoqi's cheek.

Deng Xiaoqi's cheeks were flushed as she felt the warmth of Lin Yi's hand, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

Before leaving, Lin Yi pecked her.

Knowing full well what Yi Ge was going to do, Deng Xiaoqi didn't think much of it. She took the exam paper and studied it over and over again.

It's really too difficult to keep a man as rich and handsome as Yi Ge. Deng Xiaoqi has no confidence at all.

As far as she knew, there was Peng Jiahe. Nothing had happened between Yi Ge and Peng Jiahe yet, but Deng Xiaoqi knew very well that Peng Jiahe definitely had feelings for Yi Ge.

Just like her, she must also be thinking about Brother Yi.

Once you've made up your mind about something, don't overthink it, lest you make yourself suffer.

You know, she's not a pretentious person.

As long as Yi-ge loves her when he's with her, that's enough.

As for when Yi-ge isn't around, let's just pretend we don't know.

Thinking about it this way, Deng Xiaoqi felt much more at ease.

……

When Lin Yi came out, he was driving the same car he had used when he first met Peng Jiahe.

Just as I reached the alley entrance, Peng Jiahe called me.

Lin Yi glanced at the time and realized that school had just ended not long ago.

After Lin Yi answered the call, before he could even speak, Deng Xiaoqi anxiously asked, "Brother Yi, where are you?"

Lin Yi said with a smile, "Jiahe, what's the rush? School just ended."

Peng Jiahe said impatiently, "How can I not be anxious? At school, I either study or sleep every day. I'm almost going crazy."

"Brother Yi, you said you'd take me out to have fun, you can't break your promise."

"Really? Is it that bad?"

Peng Jiahe nodded heavily, replying pitifully, "Yes, I do!"

"Yi-ge, do you know how terrifying it is for a slacker like me to go to class all day?"

"Okay, okay, I know you've been working hard lately. I'll take you out to play later. You can decide where you want to go."

Peng Jiahe's beautiful eyes lit up: "Really? Brother Yi, you said it yourself."

Lin Yi said confidently, "I said I'll be there in five minutes at most."

Peng Jiahe immediately perked up: "Okay, Brother Yi, I'll wait for you!"

……

After saying that, Peng Jiahe hung up the phone and waited for Lin Yi to arrive at the school gate.

She saw familiar faces being picked up by their parents one by one, including her best friend from school, Lin Miaomiao.

Before getting into the car, Lin Miaomiao came up to Peng Jiahe and asked, "Jiahe, how are you getting home? Do you want my dad to give you a ride?"

Since she entered her senior year of high school, her family has been extremely caring towards her.

Even every week, she doesn't go back by herself; her father picks her up in his car.

You thought only her father came? No, her mother was there too, sitting in the back row waiting for him.

Seeing this, Lin Miaomiao felt a lot of pressure. If she did well on the exam, it would be fine, but if she did poorly, she would be too ashamed to face her family and friends in Jiangdong.

Peng Jiahe shook her head and said with a smile, "No need, no need, Miaomiao, you and your uncle go back first."

"I've already spoken to Brother Yi, he'll be here soon."

Upon hearing this name, Lin Miaomiao exclaimed in surprise, "It's Brother Yi who's here to pick you up!"

Peng Jiahe nodded with a smile: "Yes, Miaomiao, I've already made plans with Brother Yi. We're going to go out and have some fun later. Do you want to come along?"

Lin Miaomiao initially wanted to agree immediately, but upon seeing her parents sitting in the car, she immediately abandoned the idea.

At this time, even if Peng Jiahe wanted to play with her, or even if Deng Xiaoqi wanted to play with her, her mother probably wouldn't agree.

Lin Miaomiao shook her head and said, "No, you go play. You still have to do your test papers when you get home."

"Jiahe, I'll head back now."

Peng Jiahe: "Okay, okay, go ahead."

Lin Miaomiao, dressed in her school uniform like a tomboy, waved to Peng Jiahe and got into her father's car.

Peng Jiahe breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Lin Miaomiao leave.

Originally, Peng Jiahe felt that she was really miserable and had a hard time. As a poor student, how could she study in such an environment every day? Is this a life for a human being?

But compared to Lin Miaomiao now, she felt incredibly happy.

She just stays at school at most; her grades don't matter. It's good if she does well, but no one will say anything if she doesn't.

But Lin Miaomiao is different; she has to take the college entrance examination.

In just a few months, they'll be going to the real battlefield. They're busy studying almost every day, so where do they find the time to play? At most, they can only take a little time to relax.

Not to mention someone like her, who lets Brother Yi take her out to play.

She also wants to play the dance machine. After staying in school for so long, her limbs are going to atrophy. What a waste of her beautiful long legs.

Of all her body parts, Peng Jiahe was most satisfied with her legs; they were straight and smooth, and she loved them.

Peng Jiahe had already planned it out. She would stay until midnight and then have Brother Yi take her to a fancy hotel.

Anyway, she's not going to go back tonight.

While Peng Jiahe was lost in thought, a tall man came up to her. He was her classmate.

"Hello, Peng Jiahe."

"Hello." Out of politeness, Peng Jiahe nodded.

The tall man asked, "Are you waiting for someone? Or for a ride? Or should I have the driver pick you up?"

Peng Jiahe quickly replied, "No need, I've already arranged it. Someone will connect in a bit, so it won't bother you."

The tall man said, "It's alright, this is my family's driver, it's no trouble at all."

Peng Jiahe: “…”

Peng Jiahe was speechless. Her rejection was so obvious, didn't she realize it?

2.7 Peng Jiahe said again: "Really, there's no need."
