Feng Qingci moved quickly, having his roommate help bring over some belongings by noon.
When Feng Qingyi returned in the afternoon, Feng Qingci had already moved everything in.
Seeing this, Feng Qingyi had no choice but to move all of Qin Yuchuan's clothes back to her own room, hanging them in the wardrobe.
"I've already transferred the money to you. I'm going to the entrance to register my fingerprint. This big villa you're renting is really nice!"
Feng Qingyi didn't want to talk to him. She finally had a private place, but he insisted on barging in. Now that he had paid, she couldn't just kick him out, so she could only vent to Qin Yuchuan.
[Qingyi: My brother found out I'm living off-campus and insisted on living with me. You'll need to be more careful when you come over from now on.]
[Yuchuan: Am I not presentable?]
[Qingyi: You know very well that my brother has disliked you for a long time. It's difficult for me when you two clash.]
[Yuchuan: Don't worry, Qingqing. I'll go easy on him.]
[Qingyi: ... You're not thinking of getting into a fistfight with him, are you?]
If they really fought, her brother might be in a bit of danger!
[Yuchuan: I'll handle the matters between us. You don't need to worry about it.]
[Qingyi: I'm not worried, I'm just reminding you. My brother isn't someone to be trifled with.]
[Yuchuan: Alright, I understand.]
[Qingyi: What I'm more concerned about now is that my brother doesn't know this house is mine. To prevent him from living here, I told him to pay 5,000 yuan a month in rent. Do you think he'll be angry if he finds out?]
[Yuchuan: You're family. You could try explaining it to him clearly.]
[Qingyi: He's not stupid. He'll know I can't afford to buy a villa.]
[Yuchuan: ...]
[Qingyi: I've thought of a good idea. Let's say you bought this house for me.]
[Yuchuan: ...]
This seemed more likely to cause misunderstandings.
[Qingyi: This is the most reasonable explanation I can think of. Besides, without you, there probably wouldn't be this villa, so it's not wrong to say you bought it.]
[Qingyi: It's decided then. I'll tell my brother this and return the money to him.]
[Yuchuan: That works too.]
[Qingyi: There's one more thing. This Saturday, Ling He invited me to go horseback riding. She's the one I told you about before, who helped catch the thief.]
[Yuchuan: Mm, be sure to take care of yourself.]
He had already assigned people to follow her, so there shouldn't be any accidents.
[Qingyi: Don't worry, I will.]
[Yuchuan: Mm, I miss you.]
[Qingyi: We just parted a couple of days ago...]
[Yuchuan: "I gather the greenbriar, one day apart feels like three months! I gather the wormwood, one day apart feels like three autumns! I gather the mugwort, one day apart feels like three years!"]
[Qingyi: ... Alright, I miss you too!]
"Feng Qingyi, can you stop smiling so foolishly?" Feng Qingci said with disdain as he sat nearby.
Feng Qingyi put down her phone and glared at him, "Mind your own business! I'm going back to my room. Remember to turn off the lights when you go upstairs."
Since Feng Qingci moved into the villa, Feng Qingyi's life hadn't been much affected. Occasionally, she even got to enjoy the dinners he cooked.
Feng Qingci also hadn't noticed any traces of a man having lived in the house, which put his mind at ease.
At the dining table, Feng Qingyi slowly picked at her food.
"Brother, I have something to tell you," she said.
Feng Qingci nodded, "Go ahead."
"I just returned the rent you transferred to me. Please check your account."
Feng Qingci asked, "Why aren't you charging rent anymore?"
Feng Qingyi explained, "Actually, this house was bought by Qin Yuchuan. I didn't feel comfortable telling you before, so I just made up the rent thing."
"...It's that Qin guy's house?! We're moving back to the dorm today!" Feng Qingci stood up, not even finishing his meal.
Feng Qingyi quickly said, "The house is in my name."
"He bought you a house?! Feng Qingyi, are you homeless or something? You let him buy you a house? Call him right now and give it back to him."
Feng Qingci suddenly felt that ever since Feng Qingyi got together with Qin Yuchuan, she had become a different person.
Before, she used to be anxious about accepting a 1,000 yuan bracelet from someone, but now she was living comfortably in a house someone bought for her.
Feng Qingyi: "I contributed money too. It's our joint property."
Feng Qingci: "With the little money you've saved, you could barely afford a down payment. Have you thought about why a man would buy you a house? What's his motive?"
"Feng Qingyi, I'm asking you very seriously now, is he really the only one for you?"
"I hope you'll consider this carefully. You're not a child anymore. Think it through."
Feng Qingyi didn't hesitate, "Brother, I really like him, at least for now."
"I don't know what will happen in the future, but at this moment, I'm certain that I want to continue with him. I hope you can understand."
Hearing Feng Qingyi's words, Feng Qingci didn't say anything more. He sat back down and continued eating.
The dinner table was silent. After the meal, Feng Qingyi took the initiative to clear the table and wash the dishes, while Feng Qingci went upstairs.
For the next few days, Feng Qingci didn't mention moving out again, nor did he speak ill of Qin Yuchuan. It was as if nothing had happened.
Saturday came quickly. Feng Qingyi had already prepared the things she had promised to give to Xu Linghe and Qian Jue.
Since Qian Jue had asked for quite a few items, Feng Qingyi specially packed them in an extra-large shopping bag.
When she arrived at the courtyard, Qian Jue was already there.
Feng Qingyi always felt like he was constantly waiting there.
"How come you're always here whenever I come?" she asked.
Qian Jue took the bag from Feng Qingyi's hand, "Naturally, it's because I can predict when you'll come, so I wait here in advance."
"Alright, these are all for you. Aren't you going to show some appreciation?" Feng Qingyi said.
Qian Jue took out a bag of chips from the bag, "Are you asking me for money?"
"What else?" Feng Qingyi replied.
Qian Jue: "I gave you a jade stone worth thousands. Do you really have the nerve to ask me for money?"
"That jade stone hasn't shown its value yet, so your claim of it being worth thousands isn't evident. The phone I bought you costs several thousand yuan, and all this food is expensive too!"
She needed to work hard to earn money. After all, she was just a poor girl here.
She might as well try to get whatever she could, and this guy seemed quite wealthy.
Qian Jue tossed a money pouch to Feng Qingyi, "Fine, here you go."
Feng Qingyi happily caught it and opened it to count, "How much is this?"
Qian Jue, munching on chips, said, "This should be enough for you to use for a while. I know you're short on money, so I'm also giving you a shop I own in the east of the city. Just remember to bring me more snacks next time."
