Cheng Hongluan seemed to be able to calculate it quickly, and the time was just right. Just as Dongfang Qingyu finished his lunch, her phone rang.

Lunch was a buffet, the kind of meal that could be eaten as much as one wanted after paying 20 yuan. The restaurant only held the thought of making money, but seeing Dongfang Qingyu adding food and food for the fourth time, it really hurt. Maybe it was because of the hot weather, but after drinking two big bowls of porridge, only then did the two bowls of soup wipe his mouth and put down the chopsticks.

"Mr Dongfang, have you eaten yet? Where is it now? " Cheng Hongluan's sweet voice was like the clear spring water from a thousand year deep mountain, instantly cooling Dongfang Qingyu's hot body.

"I —" Dongfang Qingyu stood up, and was stunned, he looked around the restaurant, planning to look for the exact address written on the wall, but unexpectedly, he just happened to see Cheng Hongluan standing up, causing the two of them to be stunned.

"What a coincidence." After hanging up, Cheng Hongluan walked over with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Dongfang Qingyu was curious, with Cheng Hongluan's current condition, she should be going to a high-end restaurant.

"It's the end of the month." Cheng Hongluan revealed an understanding look, "I have already eaten all the restaurants that have a circumference of five kilometers, this is the place that is the most expensive."

"Have you found a house?" Dongfang Qingyu laughed.

Two rooms, one hall. Quiet, the owner is going to go abroad, and one of them is already rented out. One of them is a graduate student, a girl, with good character, high quality, and no bad habits. Cheng Hongluan joked.

"Can we go and take a look now?" Dongfang Qingyu was moved.

"Any time you want. As long as you have the time, it's fine. But the best thing is these two days. These kinds of rooms are usually quite popular." Cheng Hongluan said.

"Right away? Is it far?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.

"About half an hour." Walking out of the buffet, Cheng Hongluan said to Dongfang Qingyu who was about to call a taxi: "Wait a moment, I'll drive."

"Oh, okay." Dongfang Qingyu was startled, and suddenly felt disheartened.

Roughly five minutes later, a red BMW stopped in front of him. Cheng Hongluan lowered the window, and revealed a beautiful face with sunglasses on. The corner of her mouth slightly raised into a smile: "Get in!"

"Mr Dongfang's hometown isn't far from here. Did you come here together with your family?"

"Is Mr Dongfang still studying or working?"

"Does Mr Dongfang like to play ball?"

"..."

Cheng Hongluan was a talker with a lot of conversations and in less than twenty minutes, she had already figured out Dongfang Qingyu's background. However, Dongfang Qingyu's expression was gentle, and his heart was cautious of the world. He casually mentioned a lot of information and sat at the back, quietly taking out his mobile phone to search for the price of the BMW.

He calculated in his heart, right now, with a monthly income of about 20,000, 200,000, going without food or water for 3 years, if he wanted to buy them, even if he didn't have any major expenses, he would have to spend at least 5 years. His heart was a little cold.

The car drove into a small district. Only after it was registered at the security office did they finally be able to relax. The third floor was designed to be a study, a painting room, and a junk room. The second floor was where the owner rested, and the owner rented a room on the first floor. There were two guest rooms, a bathroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room.

The closet, computer table, bed, lamp, and air conditioner were all available. Outside the window was the greenery of the district, and because it was facing the north, the morning sun could not be seen, only the afternoon sun could be seen.

The living room was not luxurious, but it was very warm and cozy. There was a sofa, a refrigerator, a cupboard, a TV … After reading it, Dongfang Qingyu was very satisfied, but he was a little worried. With such good conditions, would the price exceed his tolerance?

"This locked room was rented out with a similar structure and size. Because the owner wants to go abroad, he hired two people to stay at home, which means he doesn't need to pay much rent." Cheng Hongluan seemed to be able to see the worry on Dongfang Qingyu's face and explained.

"And what is the landlord's request?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.

"Don't go up to the second or third floor. They can only move around on the first floor because they only rent the rooms on the first floor. That shouldn't be a problem for you." Cheng Hongluan said.

Dongfang Qingyu nodded.

"Secondly, it's clean. The main purpose of the host family is to accompany their son and study abroad. The time limit is about three years, or it could be four years, and it would definitely not exceed five years. In other words, the time limit is within four years." Cheng Hongluan said.

"Of course." Dongfang Qingyu had no objections.

As for the rest, it's nothing much, the landlord's recruitment conditions are similar to yours, so you have to be of high quality and not have any bad habits. After they come back, they want to see an identical home, not a smoky place. Cheng Hongluan looked at the time, and said: "Come, let me bring you up to see the landlord. Whether or not you can stay will depend on the landlord's opinion, you should be up by now."

The second son of the couple was an old man who had just given birth in his forties. The child was 18 years old, but they were already in their early sixties. They had retired, but had a good lifestyle.

I'm not short on money. I just want to find two people to look after the house. Originally, Red Bean alone was enough, but we haven't been back in years, and I'm worried that a girl won't be able to take care of her family, so I'm looking for a boy. But I'm worried that the person I'm looking for might be worried, so I'm relieved to see you." The landlord was well-maintained. He looked to be in his early forties, had thick black hair and gave off a refined aura. If such a person walked into a university, the first impression he would give was that he was a university professor.

His impression of Dongfang Qingyu was very good, plain and simple, not that kind of frivolous city. That pair of eyes was very clean and pure. For most of his life, he had known countless people. Those who had eyes like this were usually not bad people.

Red Bean was another tenant.

"Lu laoshi, don't worry. The person I am looking for isn't an upright person. I wouldn't dare to look for him in your place, would I?" Cheng Hongluan laughed.

"I am at ease with the person Hongluan is looking for." The landlady's attention towards Cheng Hongluan was much higher than Dongfang Qingyu. Ever since the two of them went upstairs, her gaze never left Cheng Hongluan, and her eyes were filled with love.

"Hongluan, you haven't come to see me in a long time. Rui Er was talking about you the last time she came back to eat."

"What are you talking about?" Professor Lu frowned, "Does it matter if Hongluan comes or not have nothing to do with anyone?"

"Aunt, I've been too busy recently. You know that the price of the house has been regulated a few times this year, and it has been fluctuating a lot. We've been watching it. I've been thinking about you. Look, if we have time, won't I be coming over soon?" Cheng Hongluan laughed, but Dongfang Qingyu saw a trace of unnaturalness in her eyes.

The landlady was just about to say something when she was interrupted by Professor Lu. She said to Dongfang Qingyu: "We're on a plane tomorrow morning, you should come in as soon as possible. If possible, we'll stay for dinner.

"No problem, it's just the rent —" Dongfang Qingyu worriedly looked at Professor Lu.

"As you can see, we don't lack money. We're just looking for someone to take care of the house." Professor Lu laughed, "The rent can be counted as three thousand yuan, as long as you call Hongluan at regular intervals every month. If we're not here, she is still the landlord, of course, I have to pay the water and electricity bills, I have already paid the property fees for ten years. You don't have to worry about that."

"Of course, of course." Dongfang Qingyu was relieved. The rent could not be considered as a friendship price anymore, it should be considered as a cabbage price.

For a house with such a condition, it would cost at least 8,000 yuan to start. It could be seen that Professor Lu was one of those people who did not have to worry about money. This could be seen from the lack of any fluctuations in Mrs Lu's eyes.

After signing the contract and paying a year's rent, Professor Lu didn't even look at it before signing it. The handwriting was extremely beautiful, causing Dongfang Qingyu to not dare to raise his head even after he finished writing his name.

"How is it, Qing Yu, are you satisfied with the house that elder sister found?" On the way back, Cheng Hongluan had already levelled up to become big sister. Since she had already revealed Dongfang Qingyu's true identity, there was no need to be courteous anymore.

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Dongfang Qingyu nodded his head strongly. This was the truth, if the house and price were not satisfied, then nothing would be.

"Oh yeah, there's something I need to remind you. If anyone comes over with the name of Lu Zirui, don't let him in, okay?" Cheng Hongluan said in a serious tone.

"Why?" Dongfang Qingyu asked curiously.

"Don't ask why, just don't let him in, or you'll be in trouble." Cheng Hongluan's tone suddenly became impatient.

"Understood." Dongfang Qingyu immediately thought of the Rui'er that Mrs Lu had mentioned, the unhappiness on Professor Lu's face, and the uneasiness in Cheng Hongluan's eyes. She should be someone with a problem.

After hearing that Dongfang Qingyu did not have much things left, Cheng Hongluan took the initiative to accept the driver's task. However, when she saw that Dongfang Qingyu was only carrying a game helmet on his head, she was shocked.

"Where are your clothes? "What about daily necessities?"

Dongfang Qingyu pointed to the clothes on his body. This was a new set of clothes, as for those tattered clothes, there was no need to bring them out.

"You're not running away from home, are you?" Cheng Hongluan looked at him suspiciously.

"Actually, my roots are in the capital. I escaped the marriage." Dongfang Qingyu suddenly said in a serious tone, "This is a secret, I will only tell you one person, you must not tell anyone else, if not I will be in trouble, but you will be even more of a problem."

"Tch!" Cheng Hongluan immediately rolled her eyes.
