Book Synopsis
Zhe Zhe found an apartment on 58 Tongcheng. The landlord's asking price was not low, but the place was clean and well-decorated, with all the necessary appliances, and it was close to her workplace—just a ten-minute walk to the office, with breakfast shops nearby.
During their communication, the landlord was very aloof, responding to messages only every half hour, and his replies were brief. Most importantly, he mentioned that he often traveled for work, so he needed her to keep the place clean.
For someone with obsessive-compulsive tendencies, this was absolutely manageable for her.
Without further ado, they reached an agreement.
In their last text exchange, it went like this:
Zhe Zhe: Do I need to pay a six-month deposit in advance?
Landlord: No need. I'm not short on cash. If you dare to cheat me, you won't get far.
Zhe Zhe: Don't worry, I’m a person of integrity.
Landlord: I’ll be out for the next few days. The key will be with the security guard. I've already informed him; just show your ID when you arrive.
So on the day Zhe Zhe moved in, the landlord was not home but had left a note on her room door.
She could use the living room, kitchen, and bathroom; just keep it tidy.
Zhe Zhe ran around the more than 100-square-meter duplex apartment for a while before starting to organize her things. She even took a moment to text the landlord: "Dear, I’ve arrived! Our home is so cute! Your taste is amazing!"
Half an hour later, she received a reply with a smiley face.
After spending a satisfying two weeks in her new home, she finally welcomed her first meeting with the landlord. To make it special, she prepared a candlelight dinner.
However, when she walked in with candles in hand and a smile on her face to greet the person entering with the key, she nearly jumped out of the open window...
Indeed, even if the landlord wasn't a powerful queen, he certainly shouldn't be a man!
Even if he were a man! Why did it have to be Zou Tiao?!
Zou Tiao stood at the door with his suitcase, his smile vibrant: "Baby, do you think after playing with my feelings and heartlessly abandoning me, you can just disappear from my sight unscathed?"
At that moment, Zhe Zhe felt as if the door of hope had slammed shut right in front of her eyes with a fateful "bang"!
