Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

Deng Xiaoqi's mother said, "Xiaoqi, how are you doing here?"

Deng Xiaoqi nodded: "Mom, it's great. The environment here is very nice, and it's very close to the exam venue. It only takes a few minutes to walk there."

Deng Xiaoqi's mother: "That's good, then I'm relieved. What about the meals? Is there anything you're having trouble adjusting to?"

Deng Xiaoqi laughed and said, "No, Mom, don't you know where we are? This is a big hotel."

"Whatever dish you want to eat, as long as you can name it, they can make it. Whether it's one of the eight major cuisines or a pastry or cold dish, they can make it."

Deng Xiaoqi's mother laughed and said, "Mom just said it offhand, just asked a question casually."

Deng Xiaoqi said, "Mom, it's getting late. Don't go back later, just stay here."

Deng Xiaoqi's mother quickly shook her head: "No, I'll go back soon, I have things to do at home."

If it were just her daughter living alone, she could stay however she wanted, but with Lin Yi there, she couldn't stay.

If she were to stay, it would cause a lot of inconvenience.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have something to talk about, Lin Yi went back to his room.

"Auntie, I have something to take care of, so I'll go back to my room to deal with it."

Upon hearing this, Deng Xiaoqi's mother quickly said, "Go ahead, go ahead, do what you need to do."

Lin Yi left.

Deng Xiaoqi's mother looked at her daughter and leaned closer.

Deng Xiaoqi was startled when she saw her mother in front of her.

Deng Xiaoqi: "Mom, what's wrong? What do you want to say?"

Deng Xiaoqi's mother whispered, "Xiaoqi, I think Xiaoyi seems to have a crush on you."

It's more than just a good impression; it's clearly liking her.

Thinking of this, Deng Xiaoqi felt a little smug.

Deng Xiaoqi hummed in agreement and asked, "Why would you say that?"

Deng Xiaoqi's mother said, "I can clearly feel that Xiaoyi has a very good impression of you."

"Xiaoqi, do you think you should take the initiative?"

Upon hearing this, Deng Xiaoqi blushed and hummed in agreement.

Seeing this, Deng Xiaoqi's mother smiled and said, "Xiaoqi, don't blame your mother for urging you so much, it's just that Lin Yi is too outstanding."

“If it were anyone else, Mom wouldn’t be in such a hurry. Although Mom isn’t particularly capable, she still has tens of millions in assets, so we don’t have to worry about our future.”

“But this is Lin Yi. In the entire Shanghai, I dare say there isn’t a single young person who surpasses him.”

Deng Xiaoqi nodded again: "Mom, I know what you're saying, I will."

Upon hearing this, Deng Xiaoqi's mother smiled happily.

"That's good."

Deng Xiaoqi's mother said, "Alright, seeing that you're doing well and looking radiant, I'll head back now."

Deng Xiaoqi: "Mom, are you really not staying here with me? Look how big the place is."

Deng Xiaoqi's mother shook her head: "No need, no need, I'm not available right now."

"Xiaoqi, Mom isn't too busy these days. If you miss Mom, just tell her. Send her a message and Mom will come over."

"As you know, our home is quite close to the big hotel."

Deng Xiaoqi nodded: "Okay, Mom, drive carefully on your way back."

Looking at her daughter, Deng Xiaoqi's mother felt that her daughter seemed to have become much more sensible, unlike before, when she always complained about her and didn't have time to spend with her.

She's still young. If she doesn't work hard now, how will she make money when she's old and has no energy?

Therefore, it's unavoidable that I have to go out to work and not be home with Xiaoqi.

Before leaving, Deng Xiaoqi's mother waved to her daughter and smiled as she prepared to go.

All that was heard was Deng Xiaoqi calling out, "Mom!"

Deng Xiaoqi's mother stopped in her tracks and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Deng Xiaoqi ran over and hugged her mother tightly.

Deng Xiaoqi whispered in her mother's ear, "Mom, I love you."

Upon hearing this, Deng Xiaoqi's mother's face was filled with a radiant smile.

Deng Xiaoqi's mother smiled and said, "Xiaoqi, Mom loves you too."

The mother and daughter hugged for a while before leaving.

Watching her mother leave, Deng Xiaoqi stood there, suddenly feeling a pang of emotion.

Her mother sacrificed so much to earn money and give her a better life.

She couldn't help much, and sometimes she even caused trouble for her.

Looking back now, I realize how incredibly immature she was.

Deng Xiaoqi closed the door, turned around and went back into the room, where she found Lin Yi.

Deng Xiaoqi suddenly hugged Lin Yi and whispered, "Brother Yi."

Lin Yi deliberately asked, "Has Auntie left?"

With his terrifying hearing, he certainly heard Deng Xiaoqi's mother leave.

However, it's not something I can say directly, so I can only ask one more question.

Deng Xiaoqi nodded: "Yes, he went back."

Lin Yi laughed and said, "No wonder you dared to hug me. I knew it! When did you become so bold?"

Deng Xiaoqi said with a smile, "I've always been very brave."

"That's because you're familiar with me now and aren't afraid of me anymore."

Deng Xiaoqi thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

When I first met Brother Yi, I knew how powerful he was, so I didn't dare to do that.

At that time, she didn't dare to speak loudly, let alone hug or cuddle.

Lin Yi picked up Deng Xiaoqi and hugged her tightly.

"Why do I get the feeling that you're not in a good mood?"

Deng Xiaoqi shook her head and said, "I feel like I've been a bit too immature."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "It's good that you're sensible now."

"Some people are mature because they have experienced some unforgettable things. This kind of growth is too painful, and they will probably never forget it for the rest of their lives."

"You're doing well now because you've thought things through and understood them clearly, and the price you paid wasn't high."

Upon hearing this, Deng Xiaoqi laughed and said, "It seems that's really true."

Lin Yi said, "Are you feeling a little upset? Shall I take you out for a walk?"

Deng Xiaoqi: "Is it okay? It's already dark."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "What's the big deal? It's not a problem."

Lin Yi took Deng Xiaoqi out. Deng Xiaoqi was alright; she was just an ordinary student.

Lin Yi, however, was different; because he was more famous, he wore a mask.

But since no one was wearing a mask, Lin Yi's wearing one made him stand out.

But no matter what, it still obscured his appearance.

Lin Yi asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Deng Xiaoqi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the park? I heard that the park is quite lively at night."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "That's true, especially this season, when the grass is lush and the petals are falling, so there are even more people coming out to play."

Lin Yi took Deng Xiaoqi's hand and led her to the nearest park.

Sure enough, the park lights were very bright.

Even at night, the strong light still illuminated a large area.

Colorful lights occasionally illuminate a path in the park.

Of course, the lights aren't always on; there are times when it's dark.

Deng Xiaoqi skipped around, laughing as she said, "Brother Yi, are there so many people tonight?"

"Ah."

Deng Xiaoqi: "It's so lively!"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Would you like to go to a dark place and do something?"

Deng Xiaoqi's cheeks flushed slightly; she wanted to refuse, but she wasn't afraid of disappointing Yi Ge.

Deng Xiaoqi said, "Brother Yi, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, we'll keep our voices down."

Deng Xiaoqi: "Okay, but we need to go to a dark place."

"Do not worry."

Lin Yi held Deng Xiaoqi's hand, and Deng Xiaoqi's face was flushed.

Lin Yi found the first spot and originally planned to go in, but since it was pitch black nearby, no one could see him.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi, holding Deng Xiaoqi's hand, had only taken a few steps when they heard strange noises coming from inside.

Lin Yi and Deng Xiaoqi didn't continue walking; instead, they stood there and listened to the two of them perform for a while.

A few minutes later, Lin Yi and Deng Xiaoqi left.
