Regarding Those Matters of Me and My Little Sister - CH 90
That landlord was really stingy, he wanted to charge me at the cost of two people. I said what about a 50% discount, ah? He reluctantly agreed: “For your sake, I’ll give you a 50% discount. 270 yuan per person, so the total will be 540 per month.” (78.55 USD total)
I said: “Really? That’s with the discount?” He was very serious: “Although the room isn’t really that big, it just opened up recently. There was someone else who was living there, and there’s a refrigerator and an internet connection. It would suit one person better.”
He elaborated further on the costs, and it seemed like the furniture and other things were in good condition, and it looked like it was similar to Yang Han Lu’s house, and she had to buy a few more items for her house.
I said can you make it a little cheaper, he firmly refused, saying it was already as cheap as possible.
Well it was a bit expensive, but I can probably cover the costs with my articles if it’s that cheap.
So I said deal, take us there. He was also quick and took us with him.
Li Xin waited somewhat anxiously, I went over and smiled at her: “It’s okay, it’s a good deal, it’s cheap and beautiful, you might like it.”
She whispered and asked how much it was, and I said it was just over 500 yuan. She simply blushed: “So expensive I don’t really want that, I heard people say that a single room was a lot more cheaper, ah we should get the single room and live together.”
That single room option probably had cockroaches crawling all over the place, and the toilet and bed were probably in the same room.
I wouldn’t mind living there myself, but I would never let my sister live in that kind of place. I said don’t worry, I have enough money. She was very distressed but I comforted her before we went out.
The landlord took us downstairs so he could make a call, but as soon as we got downstairs we had an encounter with Yang Han Lu.
Both of us were a little surprised, but Yang Han Lu smiled charmingly: “Come to see me again, huh? You want to see my body now?”
She saw Li Xin and deliberately said such things, Li Xin bit her lips, I was done with Yang Han Lu: “That’s enough ah, don’t make me do anything to you ah.”
Yang Han Lu giggled, and then looked at the landlord: “What’s wrong?” The landlord explained why we were here, Yang Han Lu raised an eyebrow, the corners of the mouth were pinched upwards: ” Obviously we’ll help you live somewhere, why don’t I help you get a room.”
I rolled my eyes: “You hurry back home, do not bother us. Landlord, let’s go.”
She laughed and insisted on following us. I had to deal with her, and I grabbed her sleeves and pulled away to whisper to her: “My sister is not in a good mood, can you not instigate her?”
She was stunned: “What happened to your sister?” I said family matters, please don’t add any fuel to the fire. She looked sullen: “Okay then, but I actually want to live with you.”
No way!
I waved my hand to signal to the landlord to leave, and she stomped her feet in anger, then smiled wickedly and went upstairs briskly.
This guy is getting worse and worse now, it seems that her father has made her unhinged.
I am also helpless, I’ll just try not to think too much about it.
The landlord said that the house wasn’t too far from Takasu Middle School, and it took about ten minutes, but on the streets and alleys, there were a lot of people. It looked like during the school year the streets were full of students.
Although Li Xin looked nervous, I could tell she was a little bit excited, like she was playing with a new toy.
Once we opened the door, we were greeted by the stuffy air inside, and it’s clear no one has lived here for a long time.
So far there was a water dispenser and a refrigerator which none of them has been used in a while. They were all new, and there was a sofa which looked particularly classy.
I was a little surprised: “The last tenant didn’t take these things?” The landlord was a little pleased with himself: “I’m not sure why either, that person left in a hurry, and it’s been a year and no one has come here at all.”
I said this wasn’t safe ah, what if that person came back and asked for their stuff back? What would we do? The landlord rolled his eyes: “Can you guess what kind of car he drove? He drove one of the most expensive cars I’ve ever seen from this city, do you think he’ll come back, and want all this crap?”
That made sense, anyways if that person did come back, I’d just give it over, it didn’t matter.
Li Xin was also very happy. She looked around and exclaimed that she was happy there was an air conditioner unit, so she wouldn’t be freezing at night.
The landlord kindly reminded us: “If you turn on the air conditioning, I’m afraid that the electricity bill would add an extra three or four hundred yuan.”
Li Xin was immediately shocked, and said to forget about the AC. I took a look at the toilet and bathroom and everything, all very clean, and there is also wifi, this was good, if I ever got a computer I could actually use it.
We came to an agreement and the landlord didn’t want a deposit, but told me I needed to pay rent on time.
This guy is really stingy, I said I understand, you can go back to sleep.
He left, and now there were two of us left. Li Xin ran all over the house, happy as can be: “I really like it here ah, thank you brother.”
This warmed my heart, and she ran to get some water saying that she wanted to clean the place. I naturally helped her too, and the two of us were busy until it was nighttime with the both of us sweaty.
But our home was now clean and fresh.
Li Xin was exhausted, but she was still very giddy and refused to stop cleaning. I sat on my butt on the floor and said you go ahead and take a shower, so you’re not all sweaty.
She frowned and ran over to grab me: “Brother, let’s shower together.”
I choked on my own saliva, and was stunned while looking at her, she froze, then blushed: “I mean you go take a bath, and I’ll use the toilet’s water……” (TN: Not like toilet bowl water, but like a hand held bidet, and since her parents are harsh… she uses that… poor girl)
She really did that? I was taken by surprise, and there’s no way I could let her do that. I said: “This isn’t ‘home’ anymore, you don’t need to use that to clean yourself. We have a bathtub now, you can use that, and the toilet doesn’t even have a water heater.”
This apartment was a great deal for us, so we didn’t waste anything about it.
She listened to me and ran off to get ready to take a shower.
I wiped my sweat off and went to sort out our things, the landlord left us almost everything, but the quilts and clothes were all stuffed in a cupboard, and we didn’t dare to use them.
I cleaned up and checked my wallet, there wasn’t too much there, only enough for a few meals. And since the school was closed, I couldn’t go and get some blankets.
This is not good, we had no blankets for tonight.
I had to go and buy two blankets. I went to the landlord’s place to borrow some money.
But when I entered, I saw Yang Han Lu going up the stairs with a blanket in her hand.
I froze for a moment as she wheezed: “Help me, I’m exhausted from the supermarket.”
She went to buy a blanket? It looked quite expensive and heavy. I went to help her, and then asked: “What are you doing?”
She smiled proudly: “The landlord said it didn’t seem like you had any blankets, so I wanted to be a good guy, where’s my ‘thank you’?”
She bought a blanket, so I had to thank her. So I thanked her and invited her to our home.
She came in and was amazed: “I’ll be damned, you found such a nice place, I want to live here too.”
I squinted: “Don’t even think about it, this is my private area with my sister.” She also squinted: “You two siblings sure are too close, you’re living together, but don’t do anything weird.”
I tapped her head, and she smiled again and went to the bathroom: “Is Xiao Xin Xin in the shower?”
I said what do you want? She shushed: “I’m going to interrupt her.”
She walked to the bathroom next to the door, and sneakily twisted the door handle, and then …… door surprisingly opened.
I froze, Yang Han Lu quickly closed the door, and then a voice came from the bathroom, Li Xin shrieked: “Brother, what are you doing?”
I couldn’t really explain it: “That wasn’t me, and why didn’t you lock the door?”
She was ashamed and angry: “I just forgot, and who’s here?” Yang Han Lu laughed: “Xiao Xin Xin ah, you can not do this, you should know how charming you are, your brother is a beast, remember to lock the door in the future ah.”
Li Xin was so annoyed that she slapped at the water: “You’re a bad woman, you’re not allowed to mention my brother!”
Yang Han Lu still wanted to mess with her, so I hurriedly pulled her away: “Stop it ah, or I’ll kick you out.”
She said okay twice, and she sat down quietly. I said what do you want? She said mysteriously: “I just wanted to talk to your sister, and I’ll leave after I finish.”
I was confused, then suddenly Li Xin came out of nowhere, her hair still wet. She was so beautiful after showering that Yang Han Lu covered her mouth with a smile: “Xin Xin, look at your brother’s eyes, they are completely entranced.”
Li Xin gritted her teeth and ran over: “Wench, don’t think I’m afraid of hitting you!”
Yang Han Lu was not afraid at all with this kind of threat: “Hit me, cutie, please hit me.”
Li Xin was really angry, I was totally speechless, and Yang Han Lu was getting more and more rowdy.
I was about to say something, but Yang Han Lu suddenly stopped, she came close to Li Xin’s ear and whispered something, then Li Xin surprisingly quieted down.
Then they went into a bedroom, Yang Han Lu smiled at me oddly, and closed the door.
What the hell? I went to eavesdrop against the door, but could not hear anything, Yang Han Lu must be preventing me on purpose.
I frowned, what is this woman doing to her?
About ten minutes later she finally came out, I looked at Li Xin, she had her lips slightly pursed, as if she were thinking.
Yang Han Lu is full of smiles: “I’m going to go, I’ll come back and hang around with you when I have time.”
I ignored her and went in to ask Li Xin: “What did she say to you?” Li Xin came back to her senses, and surprisingly glared at me with great irritation, then spoke in a depressed manner: “She and I will be friends from now on.”
I couldn’t understand why, and Li Xin still looked sullen. I said what did she say, Li Xin pouted: “Not going to tell you, you liar, hmph!”
