Chapter 3
She felt a sudden weakness as she looked down at the mixed-breed dog sitting obediently at her feet. She thought it might be better to stay in the dormitory to save money. But what about this dog? Just as she was caught in this dilemma, her phone in her bag rang. She picked up the phone and answered, "Hello?"
"What is this for?" Shen Qian sat in her seat, casually flipping through several books on vaccines in her hands
Li Meili shrugged and said, "Whatever, a drive around wouldn't be bad." In Li Meili's perception, Jiangxia Community is a place beyond imagination
The handsome man in the white shirt did not speak again, yet his unfocused eyes held a unique depth of meaning. He slightly extended his hand, beaming with a smile, "Hello, my name is You Ran"
Li Meili immediately began to tremble all over, and Shen Qian was taken aback, "Ah, what happened to you?"
House
Ah? Shen Qian thought she had misheard, blinking her eyes, her nose and lips trembling. "What did you just say?"
"The energy is concentrated in the dantian, now it has changed to a vibration." Li Meili took a deep breath. Shen Qian had a look of exasperation, "It's cold."
Shen Qian hung up the phone and said to the driver, Li Meili, "Let's go to the Jiangxia Community in Binhux District to take a look"
At Shen Qian's feet, the mixed-breed dog began to nuzzle her, as if reminding her that it was still there, and that she should not think of other men. Shen Qian followed its gaze and, in a huff, pointed at the dog, saying: "It's all your fault, you lecher! Why must you be so infatuated with handsome men? Now I’m affected by your foolishness too."
Shen Qian was surprisingly swayed by Li Meili's words, and for a moment, she didn't know whether to go or not. However, since it was mentioned, it wouldn't hurt to take a look.
It's alright, just gesture a bit and I will understand. She smiled gently in response to the book.
"Come and take a look at the houses here; I guarantee you will find what you want." The man on the other end of the phone spoke gently, causing Shen Qian's heart to warm, and her mind became heated as well, leading her to unexpectedly say, "Hmm, I will go take a look."
Understood, I will contact you next time. With that, You Ran was gently pulled into the car. When Shen Qian looked over, she felt as if the sky was falling. She had always believed that she possessed an innate immunity to handsome young men, but at the moment her fingers brushed against his palm, her heart unexpectedly began to race uncontrollably.
After a moment of silence, he finally asked, "Have you found it?"
Shen Qian smiled casually; she went with a nonchalant attitude, or perhaps with a sense of hope to see what the situation really was. What was the true intention of that man named You Ran in asking her to go to that place?
Only now did Shen Qian realize how immense the pressure of life was. The money she had saved over two years of work was only enough to rent a house for one year, and it was in such a slum. As her mother had said, the salary she could earn with her education and experience was so meager in this city.
Hello, is this Miss Shen Qian?" A voice with a slightly deep tone came through the phone. Shen Qian recognized it, You Ran.
Shen Qian patted her bottom, pursed her lips, and murmured, "I don't have a business card"
Shen Qian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. However, the phrase "Captain of the Flying Dragon Team" suddenly flashed through her mind. You Ran's demeanor was that of a pale yet inscrutable man; he was not physically robust but exuded a sense of grandeur. Although his eyes were not visible, he always gave off a feeling of tranquility and assurance. Shen Qian thought he would be the son of a wealthy family, but she did not expect that such a man was actually the son of the legendary Commander You, known for his infamous reputation as the Wild Leopard.
Li Meili emphasized that the price set by Shen Qian can only be used to find houses within the old district, and the likelihood of finding a loft is the highest
Li Meili immediately let out a loud fart
Perhaps women are all curious cats. It is well known that the son of Commander Yu was injured in a car accident three years ago, resulting in damage to his eyes, but the attending physician stated that it could be treated. Yet, he is unwilling to undergo treatment. This is a mystery, and no one knows why.
In the evening, Li Meili took Shen Qian to view apartments. Shen Qian had modest requirements, only needing a place that could support basic living, but she did not expect the housing prices in this city to be so high. The rent she had anticipated would only allow her to rent such a property
I want to know about wealthy individuals; those who can afford such cars are either rich or noble
Hello, Mr. Youran
Shen Qian felt frustrated and rolled her eyes at him, but then realized that although he was blind, there was still a bodyguard beside him. Shen Qian couldn't help but sneak a glance at the middle-aged man next to her, and sure enough, he was glaring at her with wide eyes. Shen Qian shivered slightly, raised her index finger, and gestured her phone number on You Ran's palm.
When Shen Qian looked into the deep eyes of the handsome man in the white shirt, devoid of any focus, she was taken aback. She turned her gaze to the middle-aged man, hoping to confirm her suspicion. The middle-aged man merely shook his head slightly and furrowed his brows. Shen Qian understood immediately and looked at the handsome man before her with an inquisitive gaze
"Hehe, looking for a place to live." Shen Qian chuckled awkwardly, glancing at the picture in the book.
Her curiosity swept over her once again
Is that so? That car is indeed quite good. Shen Qian casually remarked: "I don't know who that person is, I only know that they are called You Ran."
Li Meili shot him a glance and said, "Who was it that looked down on me?" Then she realized she had been too busy teasing and had forgotten the main issue, so she quickly rushed over to ask, "Who was the owner of the Rolls-Royce Phantom that just passed by?"
"I have no choice, I just came out of the restroom and have diarrhea." Li Meili felt a bit embarrassed. After taking a few steps, she let out several more farts in quick succession. Shen Qian rubbed her forehead and said, "You might want to come back later. Your sounds are endless, just like a phone ringtone."
Is it convenient now
Shen Qian, with her claws bared, was already furious due to the sweltering heat, which only intensified her anger towards the handsome man. Li Meili, who had just emerged from the restroom, tiptoed and stealthily crept into Shen Qian's consultation room, calling out mischievously: "Qian Qian..."
"Certainly, certainly." Shen Qian nodded, her face showing a hint of embarrassment, with a rare sense of reluctance. You Ran seemed to sense this as well, but responded with a gentle smile, "Then please leave a phone number, Miss Shen Qian, for future contact."
Having become a mystery, it prompted some to explore, and Shen Qian was one of them. Why would such a promising man not seek to heal his own eyes? However, Shen Qian did not belittle himself; he was capable of knowing the answer. He merely pondered this thought, and by the afternoon of that very day, Shen Qian had forgotten all about it
Go take a look." Shen Qian said again
The scruffy-haired child innocently raised his head, his pair of big, watery eyes looking quite pitiful
Ah? What are you doing? Shen Qian was somewhat confused, she did not know what this man was up to
The middle-aged man beside him looked utterly perplexed. He was aware of Young Master Youran; he had been following him since the onset of his blindness. Youran had a strong aversion to cleanliness and disliked being touched by others, except in necessary circumstances, generally avoiding contact with people. The earlier behavior, not to mention Youran's initiative and that rare smile, was enough to leave the middle-aged man dumbfounded. Now, to come up with such a forced excuse was simply beyond him.
You Ran extended his palm, "Write on this."
Ah?" Li Meili blinked her big eyes, incredulously saying: "What do you see there? It's all personal mansions of either the rich or the powerful, not available for rent. Even if they were, the price would be astronomical.
Shen Qian furrowed her brows slightly and said, "Just let it go."
Shen Qian found this quite reasonable. Qingqing cleared her throat, swallowed, and said, "Well..."
"Dead woman, you don't even call me to see my dream lover." Li Meili's face unexpectedly turned red, and then she ran out in a flurry, leaving behind a remark, "I need to go to the restroom first"
As Shen Qian just sat down, she had a bad premonition upon seeing Li Meili at that moment. She squinted her eyes and said, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and let it out if you have something to release"
You Ran's hand suddenly tightened, startling Shen Qian, who instinctively wanted to pull away. Instead, You Ran loosened his grip first, smiling and saying, "The name sounds very nice"
Shen Qian chuckled lightly, her gaze shifting downwards to Qian Qian, who was nestled at You Ran's feet. "About your Qian Qian's pregnancy..." Shen Qian intended to say that her mixed-breed dog was not a purebred, and that the puppies would have no promising future. However, You Ran interjected, "Then I will have to trouble you with Qian Qian in the future."
"I have an eye condition, and Qianqian is my dedicated guide dog. You should understand how important guide dogs are for blind individuals." You Ran continued to smile, seemingly unfazed, appearing quite calm. However, for Shen Qian, these words were undoubtedly difficult to digest
Then you come to Jiangxia Community in Binhuk District
Shen Qian gritted her teeth, momentarily unsure of how to respond ... You Ran, however, maintained a calm expression, a pleasing curve at the corners of his mouth. Although his gaze seemed unfocused, it always gave the impression that he was looking at her ...
Shen Qian pondered for a moment and said, "No."
Shen Qian raised her eyes in a daze, somewhat bewildered
This is an attic located in an old residential area of the old district, requiring three bus transfers to reach her workplace, taking an hour and a half. Even if she takes the subway, there is no direct route.
Bang... Li Meili let out a loud fart. She stood up and said excitedly, "Ah, You... You Ran? Captain of the Flying Dragon Team?"
Um. Shen Qian looked up at Li Meili, who was squinting her eyes and observing her intently. She had no choice but to respond tactfully: "I’m sorry, I am currently looking at a house."
You Ran merely smiled faintly, "Qian Qian is pregnant for the first time, and I do not understand any of this. Given my profession, it is only natural that you take care of it."
Shen Qian was momentarily taken aback, staring at his outstretched hand, with long, slender fingers and an elegant hand shape. Shen Qian hurriedly extended her hand to shake his, introducing herself, "Hello, my name is Shen Qian."
"No pen." Shen Qian stared blankly at the somewhat thin palm in front of her, its long fingers particularly suited for playing the piano.
