Chapter 5 [Encounter]

Chapter 5 [Encounter]

The contract was prepared quickly, but Lu Zhenqiu originally had the idea of ​​renting it out as soon as possible. The environment here is good, and the price is very favourable. Hua Luo said, "You are an idiot if you don't rent it! Are you not tempted by such a good condition?"

It's a lie not to be tempted, but the price is ridiculously low. Lu Zhenqiu didn't want Jin Shuilan to have a mentality that she lost out too much and shouted: "Teacher Jin."

Jin Shuilan was sorting out the rental contract. When she heard Lu Zhenqiu calling her, she frowned and turned her head, using a serious expression to cover up her panic and nervousness when she suddenly stopped before signing the contract. However, Lu Zhenqiu misunderstood, thinking that Jin Shuilan thought that we were causing trouble. She opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she choked and coughed twice.

Seeing that her fair side face turning crimson due to coughing, Jin Shuilan asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Zhenqiu pondered upon her words before speaking: "Teacher Jin, I think the conditions here are particularly good..."

Jin Shuilan pinched the edge of the contract tightly, causing her knuckles to Turn pale, Lu Zhenqiu continued: "So I think I can pay a little more for the rent so that you won't lose out too much."

Although Jin Shuilan said that she would give them a discount for the sake of being acquaintances, they are getting a very big discount! (骨折价=very good deal/big discount, if it is a direct translation, it would sound very weird such as fracture discount so I used big discount as I could not find another word to replace it)

Jin Shuilan looked slightly relaxed after listening to her words. She nodded lightly: "There is a reason why the rent is so cheap."

Lu Zhenqiu and Hua Luo looked at each other with shock in their eyes. Lu Zhenqiu asked: "What is the reason?"

Jin Shuilan prepared all the contracts, she pointed to the sofa on one side and said, "let's sit down and talk."

The two standing people sat on the chaise longue. Jin Shuilan sat opposite them, passed over the rental contract, and said, "Actually, the other tenant..." She paused, looked at Lu Zhenqiu, and confessed: "It's me."

Hua Luo stared and opened her mouth so wide that she could stuff an egg in it. She was surprised: "Teacher Jin it's you!"

Jin Shuilan looked at Hua Luo and asked: "Hua Luo, were you not particularly stressed when writing novels?"

Hua Luo was startled when asked, and then nodded: "Yes."

There was a period when she was so stressed that she had to go to the hospital to register and find a doctor for adjustment. Thinking that such an awesome Jin Shuilan also had the same problem, Hua Luo felt the same way: "Did Teacher Jin go to the hospital?"

Jin Shuilan nodded: "I have. The doctor suggested that if I have time, I can keep a cat and dog and write separately. I have never raised a dog before, so I don't understand it very well. When I heard that Miss Lu rented a dog with her, I wanted to see how Miss Lu took care of the dog so that I could learn more easily."

Hua Luo suddenly realized!

She immediately said to Jin Shuilan: "No wonder Teacher Jin never replied to my message. Then he saw that I posted about Qiu Qiu getting a dog and asked us to come and have a look!"

So that's it! Lu Zhenqiu was still confused, so Hua Luo had to explain to her that Teacher Jin probably didn't want to rent it out at first, but she changed her mind after hearing that she had a dog. This also explained why the rent was so low, and Teacher Jin didn't want to rent it out at all. Not short of money, if it wasn't for Lu Zhenqiu's dog, maybe she wouldn't be able to rent it!

People are strange and contradictory. One second ago, Lu Zhenqiu was feeling sorry and uneasy because the rent was too low. Now that she knew the reason, she was afraid that Jin Shuilan would change her mind and quickly took the contract.

Jin Shuilan handed her the pen at the right time and said: " If there is no problem, you can sign it."

Lu Zhenqiu read it carefully and found that the contract was okay. Of course, she had no problem. It was rare to find a landlord who could accept her raising a dog, and the conditions were so good. She would never dare to dream of it. Without hesitation, Lu Zhenqiu directly signed her name. The contract was made in duplicate, and Lu Zhenqiu and Jin Shuilan kept it separately.

After signing, Lu Zhenqiu paid the rent, and Jin Shuilan asked: "When will you move in?"

She lowered her head and typed on her mobile phone, and no one noticed her asking this question. Shi's hand paused for two seconds, and Lu Zhenqiu said, "Is it okay if I move in today?"

Jin Shuilan said, "Of course."

She put down her phone: "I'm off today. If you need help, you can call me."

Hua Luo's eyes lit up: "Is that okay? Can you please ask Teacher Jin to send us back to pack our things?"

Jin Shuilan smiled: "Okay, I'll go to the bathroom, you guys wait for me for a while."

Hua Luo screamed, she was very happy, after she left Lu Zhenqiu pulled Hua Luo's hand: "Aren't we bothering her too much?"

"No, I guess Teacher Jin also wants to go for a walk to change her mood."

Lu Zhenqiu then thought of the pressure that Jin Shuilan said, so she understood it and did not speak again, and waited for Jin Shuilan to come out of the bathroom, and the three of them went downstairs together.

I was still Jin Shuilan who drove the car, Lu Zhenqiu sat in the co-pilot seat, and Jin Shuilan said: "I don't know the road very well, call me if you want to turn a corner."

Lu Zhenqiu nodded: "Oh, okay."

So she couldn't help talking more, every time after showing the way, Jin Shuilan would talk to her in due course. Along the way, Lu Zhenqiu has a general understanding of Jin Shuilan's basic situation. Her mother is a university professor, and her father owns a small company.

At the beginning of the year, the old couple retired and went on a trip. The company recruited a manager and Jin Shuilan occasionally needs to go there for meetings.

Lu Zhenqiu seemed to understand why she was under a lot of pressure.

Jin Shuilan parked the car downstairs and went upstairs with Lu Zhenqiu and Hua Luo. This is an old estate, and the elevator is not very big. After they entered, a family of three came in. Jin Shuilan moved a little closer to Lu Zhenqiu and lowered her head. Lu Zhenqiu's hair seemed to have no scent, she has long curly hair, and the hair ends below the waist. The two of them moved close to each other, Jin Shuilan raised her hand to pretend to arrange the clothes, and some hair brushed her arms, crisp and itchy.

Soon, the elevator arrived. Lu Zhenqiu went down first, and Hua Luo turned her head, "Teacher Jin, it's here."

Jin Shuilan also got off the elevator.

After the door opened, she didn't go in directly, but stood at the door and asked, "Do I need to change my shoes?"

Lu Zhenqiu shook her head: "It's okay, I will clean it later."

Jin Shuilan frowned but said nothing, Lu Zhenqiu put down her bag and walked to the door of one of the rooms, opening the door and shouting: "Maomao."

A golden retriever jumped out from inside, clawing at Lu Zhenqiu's body with its front paws, rubbing its head against her clothes, Lu Zhenqiu rubbed the golden retriever's head and said: "Teacher Jin, this is my dog. Don't look at it and think it is just big, it is very docile and can understand what we are saying."

Hua Luo walked over and said, "Yes, Maomao is very smart!"

She after saying this, she commanded Maomao: "Maomao, sit down!"

The golden retriever looked around, squatted on the ground and stuck out its tongue to look at Hua Luo and Lu Zhenqiu, neither barking nor making trouble.

It was well-behaved, Hua Luo walked over squatted down hugged it, and finally said to Jin Shuilan: "Teacher Jin, do you want to try it?"

Jin Shuilan nodded and asked: "It's called Maomao?"

Lu Zhenqiu replied: "Yeah." After replying, she squatted down and whispered about two sentences to Maomao. Jin Shuilan didn't know what she said, She only saw Lu Zhenqiu leading the dog over and said, "You can pet it."

Standing up to be as tall as a person, with long and thick fur, and with its mouth open, at first glance, it surprised people. Jin Shuilan walked up to Maomao in silence for two seconds, called out its name, and just about to put her hand on the dog's head, Maomao suddenly raised uts head, Jin Shuilan paused, Lu Zhenqiu pursed his lips, and pulled Jin Shuilan put her hand on Maomao's head.

Its fur was very soft, beyond Jin Shuilan's expectation, not only soft but also smooth, Maomao followed her hand and licked Jin Shuilan's palm, the palm was moist, but the back of the hand just touched by Lu Zhenqiu was dry and hot.

She nodded, retracted her hand, curled up slowly, and said, "It's obedient."

Lu Zhenqiu was relieved when she saw that she didn't reject her, and she said, "Then I'll go in and clean it up, and it will be ready soon."

She didn't have many things. Knowing that she won't live here for a long time, she only took a few changes of clothes from the suitcase, which was very convenient to pack, within an hour, she packed all the suitcases, Hua Luo said: "Let me help you put down Maomao's things."

Lu Zhenqiu doesn't have many things, but there are more Maomao ones, Jin Shuilan just wanted to carry the dog ​​food but Lu Zhenqiu said: "I'll come, I'll come! Teacher Jin, sit down..."

Lu Zhenqiu did not manage to finish her words before Jin Shuilan took away ten kilograms of dog food from her hand. Lu Zhenqiu felt it was difficult to carry it with both hands. Jin Shuilan managed to lift it with one hand without shaking.

Hua Luo was stunned. She asked: "Teacher Jin, isn't it heavy? ?"

Jin Shuilan said: "Fortunately, I have practised with my cousin before."

Hua Luo was puzzled: "What does your cousin do?"

Jin Shuilan tilted her head: "Weightlifting."

Hua Luo:...

It is a disrespect to her, this strength made Hua Luo envious. With Jin Shuilan's help, everything seemed to speed up. Lu Zhenqiu and Hua Luo cleaned up before leaving. This time, Jin Shuilan didn't help.

She just glanced at the location of the study room. The study room was half opened, and the books on the bookcase were very eye-catching, they belonged to Tang Yingxia.

She was silent for a while and said, "I'll get in the car and wait for you first."

After Lu Zhenqiu thanked and watched Jin Shuilan get on the elevator, she asked Hua Luo, "Do you want Teacher Jin to go back first?"

"No need." Hua Luo said: "It's been all afternoon. We'll treat Teacher Jin to a meal later."

Lu Zhenqiu nodded: "That's as it should be."

Jin Shuilan arrived downstairs first. Instead of getting in the car, she stood at the bottom of the building and looked up. The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus floated around her from time to time, and the smell was rich.

After standing for a few minutes, she got into the car and fiddled with her phone. She saw that Tang Yingxia had just posted a new Weibo half an hour ago.

The content of the Weibo was a picture of her and Lu Yan. A group photo with a "cheers" emoticon.

Randomly clicking on the comments, everyone was asking her if she wanted to collaborate with Lu Yan.

The excitement of the readers was obvious. Only Jin Shuilan looked at the photo indifferently and then turned off the phone.

After Lu Zhenqiu and Hua Luo finished cleaning, they went downstairs and asked Jin Shuilan to have dinner.

Jin Shuilan nodded: "Okay."

After spending the afternoon together, Hua Luo was no longer so afraid of her. She said, "What kind of cuisine do you want to eat? It's a pity that it's too late. If it's earlier, we can buy vegetables and go back to cook. Qiuqiu's cooking is particularly good!"

Jin Shuilan looked at Lu Zhenqiu and said, "It doesn't matter, there will be a chance to eat Miss Lu's cooking in the future."

Lu Zhenqiu smiled: "Teacher Jin, you don't have to call me Miss Lu, just call me by my name. If Teacher Jin doesn't mind it, I'll cook more in the future."

Jin Shuilan said, "Of course, I don't mind it."

Hua Luo looked. As the two of them communicated in a friendly manner, she felt better. She patted her belly and said, "Then where should we go to eat?"

Jin Shuilan lowered her eyes and said, "I know there is a Huaiyang restaurant with good food. Are you all okay with it?"

Hua Luo nodded her head: " I have no problem."

Lu Zhenqiu also said: "Okay."

Jin Shuilan agreed and took them to the house to put down all their luggage. Maomao was still a little unaccustomed to the new environment, so Lu Zhenqiu locked it in the room, and the last three of them got in the car again and drove to the Huaiyang restaurant that Jin Shuilan had mentioned.

The Huaiyang restaurant is in the city centre, and it looks quite big from the outside. After getting out of the car, Lu Zhenqiu glanced at it and then froze. The table by the parking lot was next to the window, and the person sitting by the window was Tang Yingxia.

Sitting next to Tang Yingxia was Yu Wen. Yu Wen was lying sideways, with her head resting on Tang Yingxia's shoulders, and she fell into Tang Yingxia's arms.
