Chapter 18: The Noble Sister Xia Xue

  It's so frustrating, moving to a new place with no electricity and no internet. It's so frustrating! Considering my miserable situation, please give me some votes of support. In two days when the internet is back on, I'll make up for the missing chapters!

  "Ah, okay!" Xiao Lin didn't object. With Xia Xue's words, she felt at ease too. The rule they had set for themselves to rent a house together as two people, one male and one female, would indeed be troublesome if there were no rules.

  "Lastly, everything I said is true!" Xia Xue said quickly, then smiled slyly at Xiao Lin.

  At this time, Xiao Lin was still in his heart admiring Xia Xue's rules of treating everyone equally. When he heard the last one, he didn't think twice and opened his mouth directly: "Good... what..." Xiao Lin completely gave up resisting because of Xia Xue's previous sentence, who knew that Xia Xue's last condition would be so shameless, taking advantage of himself being unprepared, he said it out before he could even think.

  "I heard you agreed, I'll go draft the contract now. A man's word is his bond, no going back on it!" Xia Xue smiled slyly and quickly ran back to her room, slamming the door shut with a loud bang, not giving Xiao Lin any time to react.

  Total defeat, Xiao Lian's heart now has only these two words. The ancients said that it is difficult to raise women and petty people!

  After Xiao Lin cleaned up the broken glass in the living room, she finally found a room with her luggage. The room was spacious and fully furnished, with many posters of celebrities on the walls. The curtains were pink, and even the sheets were pink. It seemed that this used to be a girl's bedroom. A faint scent of perfume lingered in the air.

  Xiao Lin backed out, the girl's breath was too thick, and there were so many half-naked male star photos on the wall. If she lived in this room, if friends came over later, who knows what they would be framed as.

  Arrived at the next room, this room was much simpler, a bed, a computer desk, a bookshelf. It seemed that this used to be the guest room of this family, it was the simplest, but also the most in line with Xiao Lin's mind, so he put down his luggage and prepared to live in this room.

  Xiao Lin's luggage was not much, two large boxes, one box inside with clothes and daily necessities, the other one had a 24-inch laptop and external keyboard mouse, all were books. These books were some hardcover editions, some were old thread-bound editions, and even some pages had turned yellow, belonging to hand-copied editions.

  Hundreds of thick books just filled the small bookshelf in the guest room, a wide-screen laptop was placed on the computer desk, connected to the keyboard and mouse, the house had already installed wireless network, turned it on, entered username and password, and you could surf the internet directly.

  As for general household items, Xiao Lin went to the balcony outside the kitchen. On the other side of the balcony is the master bathroom of this house. The design of this house is not bad, separating the living area from the bathroom with a balcony. Like many houses, some bathrooms can be entered from the kitchen and some from the living room, which may be more convenient and faster. However, the most hygienic way is still to separate the bathroom from the balcony.

  Xiao Lin tidied up everything, and it didn't take half an hour. Most of the time was spent on tidying up books. As she passed through the living room, if one listened carefully, they could still hear the sound of keyboard typing coming from the master bedroom where Xia Xue lived.

  Xiao Lin silently looked at the door of the master bedroom, this woman actually went to draft a co-rental agreement, the previous few clauses were nothing much, after all, male and female co-rental, there are necessary restrictions, but the last clause, seems should not appear on unfamiliar male and female co-rental.

  Xiao Lin, although having little contact with young women and being almost a blank slate when it came to relationships between men and women, also knew that Xia Xue's last condition would undoubtedly be a flirtatious phrase if exchanged between two people who had mutual feelings for each other. Thinking of this, Xiao Lin's heart suddenly skipped a beat - flirting between men and women? Did Xia Xue have feelings for him?

  Xiao Lin thought for a moment, and couldn't help but slap his own head. He was almost certain that Xia Xue had a crush on him. Otherwise, although Xia Xue had been drinking last night and had the idea of a one-night stand, if she didn't have some feelings for him, she definitely wouldn't be willing to go to a hotel room.

  So what about Xia Xue? Xiao Lin didn't dare to deny that he had a good impression of Xia Xue, just as he had guessed Xia Xue would be. If he hadn't had a good impression of Xia Xue, they wouldn't have gone that far last night.

  But thinking of Xia Xue's last revelation last night, Xiao Lin became a little more cautious. Was Xia Xue coming for her own family background?

  Just as Xiao Lin was lost in thought, Xia Xue suddenly opened the door and saw Xiao Lin standing in the living room staring at the entrance. Her eyes widened and she shouted: "Little kid, come quickly to take a look at the contract! If there's no problem with it, I'll take it to the office tomorrow to print it out, and then we'll sign it. No backing out!"

  Seeing Xia Xue's "sharp teeth" expression, Xiao Lin threw away his previous wild thoughts. Since he had a good impression of her, it didn't matter what she was after. Anyway, he wouldn't lose anything, so he smiled and said: "No need to look anymore, actually just writing the last clause is enough, the first three clauses are redundant!" Xiao Lin blinked and returned to his room.

  Xia Xue didn't know why she said that last sentence at the time, she just thought it was funny and joking around. But after Xiao Lin said that, her face suddenly turned slightly red, and she realized the key point. This last sentence is usually only said in relationships where there are mutual feelings but haven't yet broken through the final layer of window paper between boyfriend and girlfriend, it's a flirtatious phrase between couples. She didn't expect herself to blurt out such words, no wonder Xiao Lin was smiling slyly just now.

  "You think you're so great, can you even handle me?" Xia Xue looked at Xiao Lin's back as he walked away, muttering to herself in a low voice, with a hint of desolation, trying to boost her own morale.

  Although Xia Xue said so, she was a little excited in her heart. This Xiao Lin should also have some background, right? It's said that what kind of people make what kind of friends. The friend Xiao Lin brought this afternoon not only looks good but also has great taste in clothes, looking like a rich young master. Xia Xue's observation is quite keen, and the handsome man who dressed nicely today seemed to listen to Xiao Lin's words.

  "Even if she can't compare to her own fiancé, she shouldn't be too far off, it's just unknown how Xiao Lin got acquainted with such a person!" Xia Xue sighed again, completely unable to fathom Xiao Lin.

  "Whatever! When was I ever so bothered!" Xia Xue took a deep breath, and with an air of mature elegance, swayed her small waist as she returned to the room.
