Chapter 74 Su Xiaoqiang’s Gift
Judging from his face, the expressionless senior brother seems to be an old antique who is meticulous about everything, but I didn’t expect that he is so introverted and reserved in his heart.

Lu Mingfei complained in his heart.

But after hearing what Chu Zihang said, Lu Mingfei also felt a little itchy.

The main reason is that the price difference between a three-bedroom and a two-bedroom is only 200 to 300 yuan, and I just thought that renting a bigger house would make it more comfortable. I didn't think about other messy things!

After excluding houses with two bedrooms and one living room and large studios, there are actually only three or four houses left.

Lu Mingfei contacted the landlords according to the order on the notebook.

The landlord was stunned when he saw that the tenants were two students, and then a worried expression appeared on his face.

Fortunately, Chu Zihang had his ID card with him. After seeing that Chu Zihang was over 16 years old on his ID card, she felt relieved.

As long as you are over 16 years old, the law allows you to rent a house without parental consent.

The two of them looked at several houses. Since they lived in a residential area, the general layouts of the houses were similar. The only differences were in the orientation and decoration of the houses.

The orientation determines the amount of light entering the house. After all, it is in the south, so sufficient light sources are very important. Otherwise, the house will be filled with musty smell when the rainy season arrives.

As for decoration, for Lu Mingfei, as long as it is comfortable and acceptable, it is enough.

However, Chu Zihang was still very dedicated and pointed out the problems of several houses for Lu Mingfei.

Either this company used too many prefabricated panels and the formaldehyde level was too high; or that company did a poor job of wiring and did not reserve enough network ports and power outlets.

In the end, only Room 13 in Building 1409 passed Chu Zihang’s “strict selection”.

Moreover, the landlord's child also studied at Shilan Middle School. The landlord also recognized the facial paralysis senior who was both good in character and academic performance, and gave Lu Mingfei and his friends a discount of 200 yuan per month.

Finally, we agreed on a price of 1450 yuan per month, which also included internet and property fees.

However, the landlord said that the room can only be vacated in late August.

But Lu Mingfei also had to wait until school started before moving in, so it didn't matter.

……

Now that we have chosen the house to rent, all that’s left is to convince our uncle and aunt.

Fortunately, the golden signboard of "Chu Zihang" is quite useful. When the aunt heard that Chu Zihang, a model student of Shilan Middle School, invited his disappointing nephew to share the apartment, she immediately smiled like a flower and said that after Lu Mingze was admitted to Shilan Middle School, she would also send Lu Mingze over to share the apartment with him to share in Chu Zihang's aura.

However, Chu Zihang resolved it calmly.

Aunt wanted to keep Chu Zihang at home for dinner, but Chu Zihang refused. After sitting at Lu Mingfei's house for a while, he said goodbye to his uncle and aunt.

……

In the blink of an eye, mid-August passed by, and it was late August when the house was finally vacated.

Chu Zihang came forward and used his ID card to register the tenant's information, and then helped Lu Mingfei buy some common daily necessities.

Although the dishes, bowls, shower gel and shampoo didn't seem to be very expensive, they still cost Lu Mingfei several hundred dollars, which made him feel painful again.

However, after seeing the complete supporting facilities around the community, Lu Mingfei instantly felt relieved.

In fact, life is like this. If you leave a self-defeating environment and move to a free residence, you will find that everything will change dramatically.

"It's just that this place is a bit far from Liyu Internet Cafe. I guess I won't be able to go there often in the future."

Thinking of the place that had been with him for a long time and was like a "refuge" to him, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh.

……

Although the rental issue had been temporarily settled, Lu Mingfei still stayed at his uncle and aunt's house in the few days before school started.

After all, school hasn't started yet, and his uncle and aunt might be worried that something might happen to Lu Mingfei if he moves out so early, so they are unwilling to let him go for the time being.

But it’s okay. Lu Mingfei hasn’t had time to buy a mobile phone and a computer yet, so he can just use that broken laptop at home. It can also be used as a tool to contact Liu Miaomiao, the little celestial girl and his senior brothers.

The little angel returned to her hometown two days ago. According to her, Chenglong’s new movie “Baby Project” is extremely good, and she asked Lu Mingfei to go and see it when it is released.

While Lu Mingfei was replying “OK”, he said to himself that he had actually seen it a long time ago. This movie was a frequent hit on CCTV-6.

However, in Lu Mingfei's impression, "Baby Project" was indeed Jackie Chan's last movie that he risked his life to shoot. Although the later "Chinese Zodiac" was known as Jackie Chan's last action movie, it was obvious that his body could no longer fight.

Let’s go see it when it’s released, Lu Mingfei thought. After all, he hasn’t seen Brother Chenglong’s movie in the cinema yet, so this might as well be a return of the movie ticket to him.

"Then ask Liu Miaomiao to go and see it!"

Thinking about how I have known Liu Miaomiao for such a long time, it has always been her who asked me out, but I have never asked her out.

Thinking of this cute little girl, Lu Mingfei's heart was moved.

"I don't know what Liu Miaomiao is doing recently. Has she come back from other places? I'll ask her later. I just happened to be going to buy a mobile phone, so I'll ask Liu Miaomiao to go with me."

In fact, Lu Mingfei knew that Liu Miaomiao knew nothing about electronic products such as mobile phones, and she didn’t need to know anything because she only needed to buy the most expensive and popular models.

But mainly, he found that he missed Liu Miaomiao a little.

Unconsciously, Liu Miaomiao had already occupied more and more space in his heart.

……

After dinner, Lu Mingfei went online and sent a message to Liu Miaomiao.

After waiting for a while, Liu Miaomiao didn't reply, probably she was not online.

Although Liu Miaomiao did not respond, Su Xiaoqiang did send him a message.

RoseiraSu: At home?
Straight to the point, very much in Su Xiaoqiang's style.

Lu Mingfei typed: Here.

RoseiraSu: Can I go out now?

Lu Mingfei glanced outside the door. His aunt was washing dishes and his uncle was watching Lu Mingze doing his homework at the dining table.

Lu Mingfei: It should be fine if it doesn’t take too long.

RoseiraSu: If it’s not a long time, how long is it?

Lu Mingfei: Within half an hour?

RoseiraSu: Is ten minutes enough to get from your home to Xinyu Internet Cafe?

Lu Mingfei: That’s enough.

RoseiraSu: Okay, then come to the entrance of Xinyu Internet Cafe, I brought you something good.

Lu Mingfei: What good stuff?

RoseiraSu: Why are you asking so many questions? If I ask you to come out, just come out.

Lu Mingfei curled his lips, but still obediently put on his shoes and socks. He made up an excuse to talk to his uncle and went out.

Of course, I didn’t forget to log out of QQ before going out.

……

It was already August, and Lu Mingfei was walking quickly on the old road under the dim lights, forming a sharp contrast with the pedestrians who were strolling leisurely.

The summer evening breeze blows towards you, bringing less heat from the day and more tranquility and peace unique to the night.

Walking all the way to the entrance of Xinyu Internet Cafe, mosquitoes turned into floating black dots under the street lights.

A black Audi A6 was seen in front of Xinyu Internet Cafe. Su Xiaoqiang was leaning on the rear door of the Audi A6, flipping through her cell phone out of boredom. The dim light from the screen shone on her face, giving her a kind of cold beauty that was completely different from her usual self.

Hearing the sound of "thump thump thump" footsteps, Su Xiaoqiang subconsciously raised his head, and the moment he saw Lu Mingfei, a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

But the smile disappeared in a flash. Su Xiaoqiang snorted and threw a black box to Lu Mingfei when Lu Mingfei was four or five steps away from him.

Without any warning, Lu Mingfei hurriedly caught it. It was heavy and upon closer inspection, he found it was a Nokia mobile phone box.

"This is a gift from Hong Kong." Su Xiaoqiang crossed his arms and blew pink bubble gum, standing alternately with his long, white legs. "You have to thank me."
