With Chen Jie’s help, things were different. Shen Mianmian could tell that the principal thought highly of Chen Jie. Now that he could speak a few words in front of the principal, his assistance meant the matter wouldn’t be difficult to handle.
"Okay," Chen Jie nodded in agreement, "Leave it to me."
No sooner had the wordsleft his mouth than Li Qiumei entered from outside. Upon seeing Shen Mianmian, Li Qiumei rolled her eyes and returned to her seat with her chin tilted up.
"Mr. Chen, I should get going then."
With Li Qiumei there, it wasn’t convenient to talk, and Shen Mianmian didn’t want to delay Chen Jie from his work.
"Be careful when you’re on your own," Chen Jie warned, and he walked Shen Mianmian to the office door.
Seeing this, Li Qiumei hummed with sarcasm, "What a grand air for just a student, even needs someone to walk her out."
Chen Jie glanced at her without saying anything and lowered his head to continue his tasks.
Li Qiumei’s snide comment fell flat, much like a punch landing on cotton, leaving her feeling somewhat bored.
After leaving the school, Shen Mianmian went straight to the agreed-upon location to find He Nan. They had lunch in town before returning to the city.
"I’ve inquired about the apartment for you. Take a nap after lunch, and I’ll take you to see the place in the afternoon," said He Nan as he brought Shen Mianmian back home. He gave her a quick briefing before leaving.
Hearing that the apartment had been found, Shen Mianmian’s eyes lit up. She didn’t need to see He Nan’s choice to trust it completely. She couldn’t quite explain why she trusted him so much.
Maybe it was because he was the first person to be so kind to her since her rebirth.
Shen Mianmian felt hopeful about the future. Finally leaving that house behind, she no longer had to live so carefully. The heavy stone in her heart had at last been lifted.
After taking a bath, she had a comfortable sleep and even dreamt of becoming a millionaire. Stretching lazily, she opened her room door only to see He Nan sitting on the sofa, reading a newspaper.
Glancing at the wall clock, it was already half-past three in the afternoon. She had slept for two and a half hours.
"Brother He, I’m sorry, I accidentally overslept. Have you been waiting long?" she asked.
"It’s okay, I only got back a short while ago." He Nan stood up as he heard her voice, putting down the newspaper, "Let’s go! I’ll take you to see the apartment."
"Maybe I should change my shoes?" Shen Mianmian wiggled her toes. She was currently wearing slippers, which wasn’t a good look for viewing an apartment.
He Nan glanced at the slippers on her feet, his eyes flickering slightly, and said seriously, "No need to trouble yourself, the apartment is very close by." Fınd the newest release on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Could it be in the same neighborhood?
Trusting He Nan, Shen Mianmian didn’t insist on changing her shoes and followed him out. The moment they left the room, he stopped.
Thinking he had forgotten to take something, she then saw him pull out a set of keys from his pocket and, under her gaze, unlock the door across the hall.
She blinked and cautiously pointed inside with her finger, asking softly, "Brother He, is the place you mentioned here?"
"Hmm." He Nan raised his eyebrows slightly. "What? You don’t like it?"
Shen Mianmian hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, that’s not it."
"Come inside and have a look first."
He Nan stepped in, and Shen Mianmian quickly followed.
Inside, the layout was different from his side; there were two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a large balcony.
There was an almost new sofa and coffee table in the living room, a black-and-white TV, the kitchen was well-equipped, and each of the two rooms had a bed and a wardrobe.
