"How cool, right?! The university I fancy is awesome!" Until they were almost out of the gates of the Public Security University, Zhen Yan kept boasting to Han Mingyue.
Inside the campus, there were many students coming and going, forcing Han Mingyue to bear with him. However, she couldn’t hold back anymore and retorted, "No matter how awesome, you still have to get admitted first!"
"Just watch! I must get into this university!" Zhen Yan declared confidently.
It was just a school visit, why was he acting as if he had been injected with chicken blood?!
She just muttered to herself, then Han Mingyue turned her head to look towards where Zhen Yu was waiting.
But to her surprise, there was nobody there! Han Mingyue’s pupils shrank sharply! She turned and yelled at Zhen Yan, "Xiao Yu is missing!"
"Huh?!" Zhen Yan, who was immersed in his ’fighting spirit,’ was suddenly stunned.
Seeing this, Han Mingyue had to start thinking on her own, "If she’s not here, where could she have gone?!"
"Yeah! Where could she have gone?!" Zhen Yan repeated after snapping back to reality.
"...Ah! Mobile phone!"
Very quickly! Han Mingyue thought of her mobile phone and immediately took it out to make a call!
"Hello! Are you guys out yet?"
As soon as the call connected, the voice of Zhen Yu came from the other end. But Han Mingyue responded with a question instead, "Where are you?!"
"I’m in a shop outside the school gate. Are you guys out yet?" Zhen Yu asked again.
"Oh..." Han Mingyue let out a sigh of relief, finally answering her question.
"We’re out, right at the school gate!"
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yu quickly said, "Then just stay there! I’ll be right over to find you!"
It was still early and not yet dinner time.
So, the three of them discussed and decided to start ’sweeping through’ the residential area.
With mobile phones making it convenient to stay in touch, the three split into two groups, searching for any notices about houses for sale in two adjacent neighborhoods.
The reason for splitting into groups...
Was because both boys were afraid Zhen Yu might get lost again!
Naturally, Zhen Yan chose to go by himself. After splitting up, Han Mingyue and Zhen Yu were scanning the windows of nearby residences with their eyes, highly ’alert’ to any suspicious papers pasted up. Their approach was better safe than sorry!
Thus, Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue together witnessed the booming proliferation of flyers from the late 1990s...
"There are so many tutoring schools!" Han Mingyue was amazed at the students’ eagerness to learn in the Capital.
Zhen Yu pointed out the essence, "Mostly foreign language tutoring! It seems that people have already started putting a lot of emphasis on English."
As they looked, Zhen Yu noticed an issue, "Sigh! Why are they all rentals for houses and shops?"
"Let’s look somewhere else, maybe we’ll find some sales!" Han Mingyue comforted her, but suddenly spotted something sharp, "Hey! There’s a shop for transfer here!"
Zhen Yu shook her head, "Transfer means including the goods, we can’t consider this kind!"
"Oh... Then let’s keep looking."
"Wow! Can you even advertise this kind of thing???"
Faced with a block-lettered handwritten flyer for ’seeking adoption,’ Zhen Yu was full of question marks.
"Which kind?" Detecting her tone was off, Han Mingyue leaned over to take a look.
"Seeking someone to adopt a 5-month-old boy... this," after reading the brief line, Han Mingyue felt his worldview cracking! For a moment, he couldn’t even utter a comment.
Seeing this, Zhen Yu quickly pulled him away.
Changing to another area, it seemed as if the content of the small ads changed too. Zhen Yu pulled Han Mingyue through several notice boards, still without finding any information related to house or shop sales.
"Why are there so many ads for locksmiths and plumbing?!"
"Over here, uh! Same!" Han Mingyue’s voice hesitated, and Zhen Yu immediately peeked behind the notice board!
"Uh..." As soon as she looked, Zhen Yu’s eyes were bombarded with various ’quick cures’ for certain diseases.
She was stunned, and Han Mingyue quickly stepped forward to push her away.
"Let’s go! Change spots,"
Before Han Mingyue could finish his sentence, Zhen Yu’s phone suddenly rang.
"Zhen Yan found something!" Zhen Yu guessed it was her brother who found a housing source and hurriedly answered the call!
"Come here quick! In this neighborhood, there’s a ’For Sale’ sign on a window of a house!"
"Alright! Wait at the gate, we’ll come over right away!"
After rendezvousing, Zhen Yan led his sister and Han Mingyue to the housing source he had found. It was a six-story residential building with just one entrance, directly facing a small house that seemed to contain public facilities, about 10 square meters in size.
And the ’For Sale’ banner Zhen Yan saw was posted on the north window of the second-floor of the residential building, right across from the small house!
Seeing this, Zhen Yu sighed a bit.
But finding housing resources was difficult, so they still had to check it out! What if the price or other conditions were favorable?
They went upstairs to knock on the door, but there was no reply for a long time, seemingly no one at home.
They had no choice but to make a phone call...
Zhen Yu took out her phone first, looking up as she dialed the number.
It connected quickly, and a middle-aged man’s voice came through.
"Hi! I saw your number downstairs; there’s a residential on the second floor for sale, right?"
"Yes! Are you looking to buy a house?" Updates are released by novęlfire.net
"Yes! When would be convenient for you? We’d like to have a look..."
"How about 5:30 pm tonight! I’m currently at work!"
"Sounds good! See you at 5:30 pm then! I won’t disturb your work now, goodbye."
As soon as Zhen Yu hung up, Zhen Yan excitedly asked, "Can we see the house tonight?!"
"Yeah!" Zhen Yu replied while checking her watch, it was already 4 pm, they needed to allocate time for dinner. "Let’s search for another half hour! We’ll go for dinner at 4:30."
"Alright! I’ll go check around on that side!" Zhen Yan agreed and walked off, naturally heading to an area he hadn’t checked yet.
But Zhen Yu pulled Han Mingyue toward the entrance of the next building, where an elderly, plump grandmother was sitting.
"Hello grandma, may I ask you about the surroundings of this neighborhood? Like what schools, hospitals, or markets are around?"
"Little girl, why are you asking about this?"
"My mom wants to buy a house in the building next door, so she asked me to inquire."
"Oh! I know which one you’re talking about! Let me tell you..."
