Chapter 18 Rent a Small House

When Qiao Zhen Zhen saw him shaking his head, she breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the bald-headed man standing in the shop with a livid face. She felt nervous and quickly pulled Chi Shen behind her to protect him.

Chi Shen raised his head to look at the man in the store, his eyes were filled with black ink.

The bald man met his gaze, his heart trembled inexplicably, he gritted his teeth and cursed a little bastard, and then said with a dark face: "I will cancel the application for withdrawal in the afternoon."

Qiao Zhen Zhen looked at him vigilantly, not believing that he would change his mind so quickly. Qin Jing protected the two children behind her and asked calmly, "What conditions do you have?"

"No conditions, just revoke," the bald man was impatient, "but let's talk about it first, I won't pay a penny of his tuition and living expenses, you can be good or bad, I'm going to go back to my hometown tonight, I don't care whether he lives or dies."

"Don't worry, I won't let you take care of him. From now on until he graduates from college, I will be in charge." Qin Jing is neither humble nor arrogant.

The bald man gave her a vicious look, then turned his eyes to Chi Shen, and reminded through gritted teeth, "Even if I don't care about you, you are still my son, and you don't want to hide in the ends of the earth."

Chi Shen's face was expressionless, just like when he faced him from the front.

The bald man couldn't help but started cursing again, kicked the waste paper box on the ground irritably, turned his head and went upstairs.

As soon as he left, Qiao Zhen Zhen was finally less tense, and looked at Chi Shen curiously: "How did you convince him?"

Chi Shen paused and didn't answer.

Qiao Zhen Zhen wanted to ask again, but suddenly noticed something, her eyes widened: "Your hand!"

"What's wrong?" Qin Jing was attracted by her voice, and frowned when she saw Chi Shen's cut fingers, "Isn't it okay just now? When did you get hurt?"

"That man must have done it, you bastard." Qiao Zhen Zhen frowned at Jinzhou.

Qin Jing looked at Chi Shen Gujing Wubo's face and sighed: "You are a poor child, let's go, buy a Band-Aid first, and then we'll go to the hospital."

Chi Shen pursed his lips: "No need..."

"No need," Qin Jing glanced at him, "Listen to me!"

She is Qiao Zhenzhen's mother, and she has a five-point resemblance to Qiao Zhenzhen. After she became fierce, the five-point turned into a seven-point. Chi Shen didn't dare to make a sound for a moment, and was taken directly to the hospital by their mother and daughter.

After the wound was healed, it was already past eleven o'clock, and there was still about half an hour before school ended.

Qiao Zhenzhen glanced at her phone and said in a pretentious manner: "Oh, it's all over, why don't I go back to school with Chi Shen."

"When you get to school, it's over, what else are you going to do? Just find a restaurant nearby." Qin Jing said angrily.

"Okay." Qiao Zhen Zhen was immediately happy.

Qin Jing sneered: "As long as you are not allowed to go to school, you are all 'good'."

Qiao Zhen Zhen quickly took her arm and acted like a spoiled child: "I am happy because I can accompany my mother to dinner."

[Favorite +20, existing 300]

Qiao Zhen Zhen turned her head blankly and looked at Chi Shen who was quietly following her.

Qin Jing also looked at Chi Shen: "Is there anything you want to eat?"

Chi Shen was silent for a second, then shook his head slightly.

Qin Jing narrowed her eyes and said, "Speak." She saw very early that this child was like a mute compared to Qiao Zhenzhen who was chatting all day. At first she thought he refused to speak because of a problem with his throat. Two days later, he gradually felt that he was withdrawn like a normal child, and even his basic communication skills were a problem.

Chi Shen: "..."

Qin Jing held her arms and waited patiently for him to speak.

After a long while, Chi Shen spoke with difficulty: "It's okay."

Qiao Zhen Zhen blinked, holding back her smile and lowered her head. Only then did Qin Jing take them to dinner with satisfaction.

After lunch, when the three of them were sitting in the restaurant temporarily to rest, Qin Jing received a call from the principal. The two hung up after a few chats. Qin Jing smiled and looked at the two of them: "Your father has withdrawn his application for withdrawal from school. You go back to school in the afternoon."

"Thank you." Chi Shen thanked.

"Hey, thank you, if it wasn't for us, you wouldn't have encountered these troubles at all." Qin Jing finished speaking, thinking of the hideous Qiao Jian again, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Qiao Zhenzhen hurriedly interrupted: "Then your parents are gone, and the fish shop has been sublet, where will you live in the future?"

Qin Jing returned to her senses, frowned and looked at Chi Shen: "This is a big deal, you have to find a house for you quickly, or do you stay in our house temporarily until you find a house?"

"Let's say goodbye, many houses near the school are rented out, they are well decorated and can be moved in at any time." Regarding Qiao Jian's attitude, Qiao Zhenzhen did not dare to let Chi Shen live in her own home.

Qin Jing nodded: "Alright, then you don't have to go to class at all in the afternoon. Let's decide where to live first." After hesitating for a moment, "If you don't go to class for a day, you won't delay your studies, right?"

"No, no, neither of our studies will be delayed." Qiao Zhen Zhen quickly answered for Chi Shen.

Qin Jing gave her a look: "If you delay your studies, you will be delayed. I'm afraid Chi will be deeply affected."

"Neither would he." Qiao Zhenzhen muttered. In my previous life, I only followed female classmates all day, and I never saw him pass the second test. The children of this generation are directly at the same table with him, and his studies will only get better.

Qin Jing raised her eyebrows: "how do you know?"

"I knew it." When Qiao Zhen Zhen faced her, she always inadvertently showed a charming look.

[Favorite +20, existing 320]

"The host is so powerful, you can increase your points by speaking!" Xiao Ba was amazed.

Qiao Zhen Zhen's mouth twitched and she glanced at Chi Shen wordlessly, when Qin Jing called the waiter, she suddenly approached him and asked in a low voice, "How much do you like me?"

Chi Shen was stunned and didn't answer her question.

Qin Jing settled the bill with the waiter, and when she turned around, she saw a thin layer of red on Chi Shen's pale neck. She was stunned and asked, "Are you allergic? Why is your neck so red?"

Chi Shen was silent, and his neck turned even redder.

Qiao Zhen Zhen held back her smile and pretended not to see it.

Qin Jing glanced at her inexplicably: "What are you laughing at... It's getting late, I'll take you to see the house."

Qiao Zhenzhen hurriedly said: "No, don't you have a yoga class at two o'clock in the afternoon? We'll just go and see for ourselves."

From Qin Jing's point of view, if the house is not more than 150 square meters, it is estimated that he will not be satisfied, but Chi Shen is not a character who can accept gifts at will, and it is probably uncomfortable enough to be funded. If he is forced to live in a big house again , it is estimated that it will be awkward, so it is best not to go to see the room together.

"You are not important in yoga class, and what can you two children watch?" Qin Jing angered.

Qiao Zhenzhen smiled: "If you can see it, don't worry, Mom."

"But……"

"Go back quickly, Chi Shen and I will go back to school after seeing the house, make sure not to run around outside." After Qiao Zhen Zhen finished speaking, she pulled Chi Shen and ran away.

"Slow down! Chi Shen still has an injury on his foot!" Qin Jing complained from behind.

Qiao Zhen Zhen braked subconsciously and looked carefully at Chi Shen's feet: "Are you alright?"

Chi Shen shook his head slightly.

Qiao Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, Qin Jing took the opportunity to catch up: "running so fast, do you have the money to help him rent a house?"

"Of course there is," Qiao Zhenzhen was proud, "I saved a lot of money!"

Her words are not an exaggeration. Although Qin Jing has always been extravagant and strict, she also has a deposit of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Compared with other people in the same family, it is not very good, but compared with normal high school students, she has already It's the best, and this

Era

The rent is about one thousand.

Qin Jing couldn't stand her squeamishness, so she reached out and tapped her forehead.

Qiao Zhen Zhen screamed in pain immediately, covered her head and got into the nearest taxi.

Chi Shen also got into the car, sat down beside her and frowned, Qiao Zhen Zhen looked up and saw his more serious face than usual: "What's wrong?"

"...Does it hurt?" he asked.

Qiao Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he was asking Qin Jing about her. Mom's battle was just to scare people, and when it really fell on her head, she had no strength left. She just screamed pain just to entertain her relatives, but she didn't expect the people next to her to misunderstand.

She wanted to say it didn't hurt, but the words turned into: "...It hurts."

Chi Shen's eyebrows were even deeper, and after a few seconds of silence, he looked firmly at the driver in the front row: "Go to the hospital."

"...No, no, don't listen to him, go to school." Qiao Zhen Zhen quickly stopped.

Chi Shen looked at her in disapproval.

Qiao Zhen Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I just got knocked, my skin is not red, right? You are going to the hospital. Why are there so many blood blisters on your feet, and you didn't see you going?"

"Different."

Qiao Zhen Zhen paused, when she raised her eyes to look at him, she accidentally fell into his star-like eyes, her heartbeat suddenly became irregular.

Chi Shen saw that her eyes were divergent, and after hesitating for a long time, he stretched out his finger and carefully touched the place where she had been knocked just now.

With her cold fingers on her warm forehead, Qiao Zhen Zhen snapped back to her senses: "...it doesn't hurt, I lied to you just now."

Chi Shen was stunned for a while, then gradually came to his senses. After a while, he turned his face away stiffly: "It's not good to lie."

[Favorite +20, existing 340]

"I think it's pretty good, should the host lie to him again?" Xiaoba couldn't hold back her voice again.

Qiao Zhen Zhen cleared her throat, ignored Xiao Ba's words, and directly added a year of life to him, leaving 220 points as a reserve.

The two quickly arrived near the school. As she said, there are many rental houses near the school, and the environment is similar. There is no difference between the several houses, and you can move in directly on the same day.

Qiao Zhen Zhen pulled Chi Shen around and finally stopped in an independent apartment with more than 40 square meters: "What do you think of this place?"

Chi Shen's eyes swept around the bright and clean house, and finally landed on her face again: "Do you like it?"

Qiao Zhen Zhen nodded immediately, and then realized that something was wrong: "Ask me why, the point is do you like it?"

Chi Shen looked at her fixedly: "I like it."

"That's good," Qiao Zhenzhen smiled, "then we need this room."

"One thousand and two a month, deposit one pays three, if we like it, we can sign the contract now." It's been a month since the school started, it's the off-season for renting, and the landlord is quite happy.

Qiao Zhen Zhen turned around again, checked the water, electricity, gas and refrigerator, and then asked the landlord for documents after confirming that there was no problem. The landlord took out the documents and praised: "The little girl is really careful, it looks like she has a lot of life experience."

Qiao Zhenzhen smiled and signed the contract after checking his documents.

After signing the contract, the landlord took out the POS machine, Qiao Zhenzhen quickly found her bank card, and before she could swipe it, a pale hand stretched out, holding a card in her hand.

Qiao Zhen Zhen was stunned: "Are you rich?"

Chi Shen nodded.

"...Where did the money come from?" Qiao Zhenzhen didn't believe his parents would give him money.

Chi Shen was silent for a moment: "Scholarship."

Qiao Zhenzhen smiled: "How much money can you get from the scholarship, you should credit me..."

Before finishing speaking, the landlord completed the card swiping procedure, and there was no situation where the card was swiped.

"One hundred thousand." Chi Shen replied.

Qiao Zhenzhen: "..."

Co-authoring the person you want to fund has more money than you?

Qiao Zhen Zhen was shocked enough that she didn't react until the landlord left.

Seeing her standing still and not speaking, Chi Shen took the broom and started cleaning, and when he cleaned the house, Qiao Zhenzhen came back to her senses: "...isn't the highest scholarship for our school only 5,000 per semester? You only got it for two years, and you still have to eat to live, why do you have so much money?"

"Competition." Chi Shen replied.

Qiao Zhen Zhen was puzzled: "What game?"

"Not necessarily, it's mostly math and physics competitions."

Qiao Zhenzhen: "..." It doesn't sound like a field she is familiar with.

The room was silent for a few seconds, then Qiao Zhenzhen asked again: "Do your parents know?"

After I asked, I felt that what I asked was all nonsense. With the virtues of his parents, if he knew that he could get so many scholarships, he would have taken it away from him long ago. How could he let him leave it alone, not to mention her two lifetimes I have never heard of him participating in the competition, and it is estimated that the school does not know that he participated alone.

Sure enough, Chi Shen shook his head.

Qiao Zhen Zhen sighed with emotion: "My family Chi Shen is really jealous of beauty." Such a smart child is the fate of the cannon fodder, and at first glance it is unfair.

[Favorite +5, existing 225]

... Heavenly jealous of Hongyan is not a good word, is it? Qiao Zhen Zhen looked at him hesitantly, feeling that she didn't understand his point more and more.

The contract had been signed and the room was almost cleaned. Qiao Zhenzhen and Chi Shen sat in front of the dining table and looked at each other. After a while, she couldn't help but ask, "What are your plans for saving so much money?"

Chi Shen was silent.

"There must be a plan, right?" Qiao Zhenzhen was a little curious, would a character like him also plan for the future.

Chi Shen pursed his lips, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Qiao Zhen Zhen accurately captured his emotions and couldn't help but be more curious: "Talk, talk, what is the plan."

Chi Shen turned his face away.

She approached immediately: "Hurry up, don't say I'm angry, I'm really angry, I'll..."

"You want to study abroad," he said suddenly.

Qiao Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment: "When did I say I want to study abroad?"

"High school..."

Qiao Zhen Zhen was at a loss for a long time, and finally she remembered that there was such a thing. She used to hang out with Zhao Lianqiao all day long, and she had no intention of studying. When the head teacher asked her about her plan, she casually said that she would graduate and go abroad to get a diploma. If there was no such thing as Qiao Jian in her previous life, she might have really gone.

... So he worked hard to save money because he heard what she said casually? Qiao Zhen Zhen stared at him blankly, and took a deep breath for a while: "Chi Shen, you are so persistent, you want to chase abroad."

Chi Shen's face suddenly paled.

"...I didn't blame you, don't be nervous," Qiao Zhenzhen explained quickly, "I still like you to follow me, really!"

Chi Shen was slightly startled, and his dark eyes looked at her intently, as if to identify the truth of her words. Qiao Zhen Zhen looked at him seriously and let him spy on her.

Looking at each other for a long time, the back of Chi Shen's neck was stained with a thin layer of red, and he turned his face away.

Qiao Zhenzhen smiled: "I was just talking casually at the time, I didn't plan to study abroad, don't save money so hard, if you have time, teach me to study well, I will go to a city with you in the future, and the two of us are still together. okay?"

"...Well." Chi Shen lowered his head, still not daring to look at her.

Qiao Zhenzhen glanced around, although she should have all the furniture and household appliances, but there is no daily necessities, the house still looks a little bald.

"Let's go buy something to fill this place, you have money anyway." Qiao Zhen Zhen stretched and stood up.

Naturally, Chi Shen would not object to her, so he followed her obediently after hearing the words.

The house they rented was near the school, and the surrounding infrastructure was perfect. A few hundred meters downstairs, there was a large supermarket.

It was the time for school and work in the afternoon, there were very few people in the supermarket, Qiao Zhenzhen pushed a shopping cart and started searching for things from the door. Since she knew how much Chi Shen's deposit was, she didn't have so many worries when picking things. She took what she saw with paper towels, shower gels, slippers, and soon the shopping cart was full.

When the car was empty, Qiao Zhenzhen was in charge of pushing it, and once it was full, Chi Shen took the initiative to take over and followed Qiao Zhenzhen.

When the two of them passed the accessories area, Qiao Zhenzhen was attracted by a hairpin in the shape of a mushroom, so she couldn't help but stop and leaned over to the shelf to study it carefully.

The shiitake mushrooms are very realistic, and there is even a worm's eye in the gray, which is particularly abrupt and real among the pink and tender little strawberries and apples, as if someone pinned the real shiitake mushrooms to the hairpin. Qiao Zhen Zhen couldn't help pinching it, it felt like a sponge.

She left the shelf in a funny way and ran to the bedding area not far away.

It is already autumn, the weather is getting cooler, and there is no quilt in the newly rented house. This time, I need to buy at least two beds. Qiao Zhenzhen listened to the introduction of the shopping guide while choosing carefully, and after choosing two beds, she turned around and found that her follower was gone.

She quickly put down the quilt and looked around, and finally found him in the accessories area. She was about to step forward with a smile on her lips when she saw a young couple beside him frowning, and the girl even got into the boy's arms. : "He smells so bad..."

Qiao Zhen Zhen's smile froze on her face.

"I don't know how many years I haven't taken a bath, I really have no quality." The boy mumbled and pulled the girl away.

Qiao Zhen Zhen's heart suddenly burst into flames, but Chi Shen, who was being scolded, didn't react at all. When she turned around and saw her behind her, a daze flashed in her eyes.

Qiao Zhen Zhen suppressed her anger and walked in front of him pretending not to have anything to do with it: "Why didn't you follow me to buy you a quilt."

Chi Shen's eyes moved slightly, and he silently clenched the things in his hand, and then quietly followed behind her.

The two walked forward together, and when they were about to reach the quilt, Qiao Zhen Zhen suddenly said, "It doesn't stink at all."

Chi Shen paused, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.

After Qiao Zhenzhen finished speaking, she felt at ease, but she felt a little regretful, afraid that she would hurt his self-esteem, and seeing that he didn't respond, so she felt relieved, and chose carefully with him, and finally put the selected quilts in the shopping mall in the car.

The two chose something else together, and finally took an extra shopping cart to load it. When they went to the front desk to check out, they didn't expect to meet the young couple again.

The young couple lined up behind them, with only a few snacks in their hands. After seeing their two big cars, the girl began to frown again, sticking to the boy's arms and muttering, from time to time it would be 'stinky' and 'disgusting'. ' and the like.

Chi Shen was in no mood, and lowered his head to sort out the goods that had been swept. Qiao Zhen Zhen tried her best to be as calm as possible. When Chi Shen finished the bill and walked out of the front desk, she couldn't help but stop and look back: "You use Chenlan 502 perfume, right? This fragrance is not suitable for you."

The girl was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"It means that the scent is too light to cover your bad breath. Next time you come out, you can try Flaming Rose. It can even cover up the smell of the cesspool. It is estimated that it will have the same effect on you." Qiao Zhenzhen finished speaking, Pull Chi Shen and go.

The girl watched them leave in a daze. After hearing the laughter around her, she realized that she had been humiliated. She immediately blushed with anger, and gritted her teeth to find them to settle accounts.

However, Qiao Zhen Zhen had already run away with Chi Shen.

It was not easy to run away with five bags of things. When she ran back to where she lived, Qiao Zhenzhen was sweating profusely, she threw her things on the ground and leaned against the wall and started laughing.

[Favorite +20, existing 240]

She raised her head with a smile: "Chi Shen, are you happy too?"

Chi Shen looked at her silently, with extremely pure black eyes.

"Come on, give me a smile." Qiao Zhen Zhen put her hands on her hips, with a big sister's attitude.

Chi Shen was silent for a long time, and finally, with her persistent encouragement, she pulled the corners of her lips with difficulty, vividly interpreting what it means to laugh without laughing.

It is rare for a child to take a step. Although the step is a little small, it is considered a progress. At this time, he must not laugh at him, otherwise he will retreat. Qiao Zhenzhen desperately warned herself in her heart, but the reality was: "...Pfft."

She still couldn't help laughing.

Chi Shen looked at her and smiled again and bent over, the corners of his lips pulled down instantly.

Qiao Zhen Zhen laughed until her stomach hurt, just as she was about to stand up to take a rest, a pale hand suddenly stretched out in front of her, with an ugly mushroom in her palm.

She smiled stiffly: "When did you take it?"

Chi Shen was silent.

"...I didn't follow me just now, was it because I was taking this?" Qiao Zhenzhen was stunned and a little funny, she just thought this mushroom was very interesting, so she couldn't help pinching it twice, but she didn't expect him to mistake her for herself like.

She looked at Shiitake and Chishen. After reading it several times, she suddenly felt that they were quite similar in some places, so she took it with a smile and pinned it to her long seaweed-like hair: "Does it look good?"

Chi Shen looked at the gray mushrooms and was silent.

...it doesn't look good. Qiao Zhen Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the next second when she met his eyes covered by black bangs, the smile on her face suddenly faded.

In fact, Chi Shen is very good-looking, with delicate facial features and pale skin. Although he is a little thinner, he has long legs and muscles. If he was born in an ordinary family, he would definitely be a college girl who is particularly attractive to girls, not like today. Every supermarket will be pointed at.

She looked at him intently, Chi Shen was still looking at her at first, and gradually his expression became a little uncomfortable, just when he was about to look away, Qiao Zhenzhen suddenly said: "From today onwards, you don't have to help the family sell fish. , do we have to do something to welcome the new life?"

Chi Shen paused, not quite understanding what she meant.

Qiao Zhen Zhen raised the corners of her lips: "For example, go get a haircut and buy some new clothes."
