Zhou Na, the Landlady

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Are you Lin Fan?"

When Lin Fan reached the rental home, he gave the landlady a call, and a very sensual voice called out to him from behind in less than three minutes.

He turned to look.

Ho, was she not quite sensual?

In fact, she was young, beautiful, and sensual!

"Are you the landlady?"

"I manage the housing around here." The woman drew a circle in the air twice, gesturing at the area around them, but Lin Fan did not understand the range of where she specifically meant.

Still, he understood one thing. She was the landlady!

"Come in with me. Let's take a look at the house."

She smiled and opened the door.

It was a small two-floored building which was not really big, and at sixty square meters at best. Both floors added together would be just over a hundred square meters, but it would definitely be enough for one person living alone.

"The house had just been renovated last year. Every necessity is ready and there's a small garden behind. You could plant something if you have the time, but if you're not… well, some onions or gingers would do too."

"The rent is the same as the price you saw online. You would have to pay the standard deposit, but you could move in as soon as you agree to sign the contract. I suggest finding another place if you don't."

The landlady's attitude was not warm. In fact, she appeared unapproachable and sarcastic.

But Lin Fan did not consider that to be a problem at all!

Because it was character!

Shouldn't landladies bear such characters? What was wrong with that?

As a matter of fact, if Lin Fan himself was not involved in that freakshow, he would have even made an attempt to woo her.

Still, he was not particularly confident, even though the idea of living off a woman did cross his mind at times. Moreover, this landlady was young, beautiful, and sensual!

"I'll sign~!"

Lin Fan did not hesitate at all.

The rent was eight hundred bucks per month, but it was not very expensive considering that it was renovated and had a garden. In fact, it would not be so cheap if it was not in this town.

The landlady had brought the contract with her, and Lin Fan finally learned her name when he signed: Zhou Na.

"Done!"

After Li Fan signed the contract and deposited the funds with his phone, Zhou Na brought out a large bundle of keys from a bag she was carrying.

There were probably hundreds of keys, and after picking around, she plucked one out and handed it to Lin Fan. "Your key. I'll come to collect rent once every three months, although you could pay for a whole year at once."

"I think I'll stick to three months…"

Lin Fan accepted the key and stepped out of the house with Zhou Na. Just as he was about to try if the key was good, he soon realized that it did not even fit…

"Got it wrong again."

Zhou Na's beautiful brow wrinkled when she saw that. "Having too many houses can be a hassle."

"…"

Lin Fan's mouth twitched.

***

They tried three more times before they finally got the right key. Seeing that there were no issues now, Zhou Na left with a wave.

On the other hand, Lin Fan locked the door, and hurried back to the campus hostel, got his things and rushed back…

Fortunately, the distance was not too far, and it was a twenty-minute journey by cab.

Be that as it may, the skies were already dark when Lin Fan settled in.

"Well, the first move: getting a new place is more or less done."

Lin Fan began to ponder again after having a simple meal of instant noodles.

"Now, the next move. I have to plan beforehand even though it's not right doing it at night, such as what I have to tell the tigress right away on my next transmigration, and what could be saved for later…"

"I'll make a list."

Lin Fan picked up a pen and paper and wrote what came to mind.

"First of all, daily life. I'll just have to tell her where my closet and other things are, right? And then she needs to be taught how to differentiate currencies."

"Aside from that, food—that's most important and I can't afford to be careless here."

After all, Lin Fan would never forget the distress of being cuffed right after his return.

"So, usage of gas, vent and rice cooker to the tap, and washer fluid. I'll have to teach her all of those, right?"

He certainly would not want a basin full of dirty tableware when he transmigrated back.

"As for sleep… okay, I'll make things simple, since modern beds are quite different from the beds of her era."

"And then, if she leaves the house. I would have to teach her how to use the door, although it would be better if she did not step out from my perspective, but I can't control that."

"But if she does, there is so much to cover…"

What a pain!

Teaching the tigress about everything inside the house was already difficult, let alone what was out there?

"Alright, I'll settle for teaching her about the house for now. I need to sleep early and record the videos…"

***

Early the next morning.

After a good night's rest, Lin Fan was much more spirited, and began recording videos after chomping down some steamed buns he had bought.

"For convenience, I'll record them by category, like: the kitchen edition, the bedroom edition, the living room edition, the bathroom edition, and so forth…"

"Hold on, the bathroom?"

"Come to think of it…"

"Aside from eating and drinking over those few days, she was the one who controlled the peeing or whatnot, wasn't she? In other words, uh..."

Awkwardness suddenly ensued.

Still, Lin Fan quickly calmed down and muttered to himself, "She controls me, I control her. A draw, with no one losing out. Okay…"

"This is very fair!"

 Action!

Hence, Lin Fan basically recorded the function and how to use various items, listing every detail—minor or major.

He even included how to use the TV and how to play minigames with it, worried that the tigress would run off out of boredom.

And the recording took a whole day!

He hence made over a dozen 'editions' of those videos, carefully describing everything in the house, while also giving a summary of the laws in this world—such as no stealing, using money for purchases, and the like.

"That's about it, right?"

By nighttime, Lin Fan was stroking his chin and reviewing the videos he recorded. "Should I introduce her to the local spots too? I have the feeling she wouldn't listen to me, and would just run out…"

"I'll give an introduction just in case."

"Wait a minute!!!"

There was a problem.

"I could introduce what's out there, such as phone payment and the rest. However, I can't take pictures of any of those procedures with a single phone…"

Video? That's impractical. Demonstrating phone usage needed external 'contact', and looking at the phone screen alone would not do.

"So, does this mean I need to buy another phone?!"

"I only have two thousand bucks left after the contract. I won't have much left even if I bought a low-cost phone…"

"Oh, right, and there are still classes. It's fine since we're on break these few days, but since classes are resuming on the day after tomorrow, and that should be when I would transmigrate if there are no surprises. How should I go about this?"
