Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 58
Su Miaomiao signed all three new roommates, and then left with her father.
When the three enthusiastic girls returned to the dormitory and closed the door, Su Mingan’s expression immediately became complicated.
He doesn’t regret his temporary soft-heartedness, he really wants his daughter to sleep comfortably every day, but when he thinks that his daughter living alone will create a lot of opportunities for Xie Jingyuan, Su Mingan’s heart feels like being twisted into a twist, All kinds of entanglements.
“Dad, you are so kind.”
Su Miaomiao was so pleasantly surprised, she hugged her father’s arm and acted like a baby.
Su Mingan touched the top of his daughter’s head, trying to suppress the restlessness in his heart.
The father and daughter stomped and descended the stairs.
The housekeeper aunt caught a glimpse of them and straightened the registration book on the table.
After Su Mingan wrote down the departure time, he looked at the three boys who came over—Xu Shou, who was a distance behind because he took a taxi alone, also arrived.
“Uncle, do you want to go out to eat out, or should we treat you to the cafeteria?” Gu Jialing was very enthusiastic.
Su Mingan: “Let’s go to the cafeteria.”
The restaurant can eat anywhere, and he wants to see where his daughter will live for the next four years.
While walking, Su Mingan also took out his mobile phone, took a few short videos, and kept them for his wife to watch at home.
All of them have outstanding looks in this line of work, attracting a lot of attention, but even if someone here has seen the video of Su Miaomiao playing or the photo of Su Miaomiao receiving the award, they just watched it for fun and forgot about it after watching it. Unless they frequently appear in the public eye like celebrities, or have a recognizable appearance like Yao Ming, sports stars are not particularly recognizable among the public, let alone a new star like Su Miaomiao.
The three roommates were so excited because they knew Su Miaomiao’s identity from the teacher in advance.
Therefore, although the five people’s turning heads were high, they did not cause any sensation among the crowd. At most, a few people raised their mobile phones to secretly take pictures.
Before the peak meal time, the cafeteria was quite empty.
The five of them chose their meals and walked to a corner next to the floor-to-ceiling windows with their plates.
Gu Jialing: “How is your dormitory? Do you get along with each other?”
Su Miaomiao couldn’t help laughing: “It’s okay, Dad said, he’s going to rent a house for me outside.”
Neither Gu Jialing nor Xie Jingyuan and Xu Shou showed any surprises.
Gu Jialing: “I told you a long time ago, even I can’t stand it, you are such a squeamish cat… How can a person with a lot of problems live in a dormitory. Uncle, you really want to rent another room, my…”
Under the table, Xie Jingyuan kicked him.
Gu Jialing changed his words wittily: “My community is pretty good. It is the newest community in the vicinity. The others are all old communities. There are no elevators and they are all small apartments of fifty or sixty square meters. Miao Miao will definitely not be able to bear it.”
When Su Mingan arrived by car, he realized that there were very few newly built high-rise residences like the ones that can be seen everywhere in An City in this area.
A place where every inch of land is expensive has its own urban planning.
“I’ll take a look at your place after dinner.” Su Mingan also knew Gu Jialing very well, and this kid would never wrong him when it comes to basic necessities of life.
Xu Shoudao: “I still have class in the evening, so I won’t go with you.”
He also chose a double major, and the weekends are almost full of courses.
Su Mingan looked at Xie Jingyuan.
Xie Jingyuan was just eating his own food.
Su Mingan was quite satisfied, if Xie Jingyuan left him and his daughter to go to class by himself, it would be a betrayal of his wife’s trust in him.
After leaving the cafeteria, Xu Shou went to the teaching building, where Xie Jingyuan and Gu Jialing accompanied the father and daughter to the campus.
Go out of the west gate of the school and turn right, walk for ten minutes like a walk, and you will arrive at the lakeside community.
Gu Jialing lives in 801, Building 7. There are two floors and three households. The side units are four-bedroom apartments of 120 square meters, and the middle unit is a three-bedroom apartment of 90 square meters.
This is all the experience Gu Jialing has accumulated after seeing several apartments in the same community.
After seeing so many, of course Gu Jialing chose the one with the best decoration.
“Uncle, you and Miaomiao can stay with me tonight, don’t go looking for a hotel.” Gu Jialing showed his enthusiasm again, and pushed open the door of the third bedroom, “Look, the quilt inside, The curtains are all new, and I let the landlord take away the old ones, but the Taoist priests are so ungrateful that they don’t want to move in with me, and I didn’t ask them to share the rent.”
Su Miaomiao followed her father and looked at the master bedroom and the three bedrooms.
Except for one second bedroom, which is a bit small, the other three seem to be quite comfortable. Compared with the dormitory, they are simply luxurious rooms.
Gu Jialing’s heart is quite delicate, one of the second bedrooms he prepared is pink sheets and quilts, and the curtains are all pink.
Su Miaomiao snorted, “I like white.”
Gu Jialing also hummed at her: “You don’t come to live here, this room has nothing to do with you.”
Su Mingan said: “Until Dad finds a house, Miao Miao will live here first, I will sleep next door.”
After finishing speaking, he asked Gu Jialing: “Do you need a red envelope from uncle?”
Gu Jialing: “No, you are my real father.”
Su Mingan hit him with a chestnut.
Xie Jingyuan always stood silently behind them.
Su Mingan looked at him and said, “Tell Miaomiao about your university life first, and I’ll go out to see if there are any houses for rent.”
Xie Jingyuan said: “I will go with you.”
Su Mingan glanced at Gu Jialing: “No need, you have no experience in renting a house, so you don’t understand anything.”
As soon as he left, Gu Jialing immediately rushed towards Su Miaomiao, wanting to hug this powerful cat!
Xie Jingyuan stood in front of Su Miaomiao in time, and asked coldly, “What are you doing?”
Gu Jialing: “Hug her, it’s like this in the live broadcast, when the player wins the game, the coaches and teammates around him will run to hug her.”
Xie Jingyuan: “It was okay at the time, but now I am suspected of sexual harassment.”
Gu Jialing: …
Is he that kind of bird? Even if he was, the object of his harassment would not be a cat!
“Su Miaomiao, you think so too? Don’t you want me to hug you?” Gu Jialing asked angrily when her character was questioned.
Su Miaomiao didn’t really care, but what the Taoist priest said must be right.
Seeing her nodding, Gu Jialing went to the master bedroom injured and closed the door forcefully on purpose.
Su Miaomiao blinked, looked at Xie Jingyuan again, suddenly threw herself into Xie Jingyuan’s arms, hugged him with open arms, and gently rubbed her head on his chest.
Xie Jingyuan’s body froze, his eyes fell on the door of the master bedroom, and he asked in a low voice: “What’s wrong?”
Su Miaomiao closed her eyes, and took a deep breath of the clear autumn dew smell on his body: “I’ve been thinking for a long time.”
It has been more than a month since she went to the United States with her father in early August.
At the airport, she wanted to hug the Taoist priest, but she never had the chance.
Xie Jingyuan was silent for a few seconds, then raised his hand to touch her head: “Is the competition very hard, did you get injured this time?”
Su Miaomiao: “The right knee still hurts.”
Xie Jingyuan let her sit on the sofa, and his palm covered her right knee.
All spiritual power was exhausted, Xie Jingyuan raised his eyes, and just about to ask her how she was feeling, she saw her hugging the pillow with both hands, looking at him seriously with big eyes, the corners of her mouth turned up happily, and she didn’t know what she was laughing at.
Xie Jingyuan lowered his gaze: “Does it still hurt?”
Su Miaomiao raised her legs and said happily: “Okay, the Taoist priest is really powerful.”
Xie Jingyuan smiled, and took out a folded A4 paper from his pocket: “This is your class schedule for this semester. It has been two weeks since school started. I asked Zhao Lu from your dormitory to help me take notes. You can go to Ask her to borrow from the dormitory, and make up for it on weekends. The books are all in the dormitory, even if you live outside in the future, try to stay with your roommates during the day, and they will remind you of any arrangements in the class.”
From kindergarten to high school, except that she had to learn by herself, he took care of her almost all other trivial matters.
University is a whole new way of life.
Xie Jingyuan spent eighteen years helping her develop good study habits. During the four years of university, he would deliberately reduce the time he spent with her to cultivate her self-reliance.
Su Miaomiao was still studying the new schedule, so she didn’t notice the complicated look in his eyes above her head.
Gu Jialing came out, as if forgetting the unpleasantness just now, she sat on the other side of Su Miaomiao and asked how much bonus she got.
When Su Miaomiao reported the number, Gu Jialing’s eyes immediately became bright: “Okay, you and the Taoist priest can both make money, it’s just a few million, and Xu Shou and I are the only ones…”
Xie Jingyuan: “Xu Shou has worked part-time for two months, and he has already saved enough tuition for four years of college.”
Gu Jialing was not convinced: “That’s because Uncle Xie gave too much.”
Xie Jingyuan: “Xie Rong is very fair in this respect, Xu Shou’s ability is worthy of the salary he gets.”
Gu Jialing stopped talking.
At this time, the voice of Su Mingan talking to someone came from the corridor.
Gu Jialing pricked up her ears and whispered, “It’s the tenant of 802 next door, a couple who just graduated from college, and the girl is quite pretty.”
He raised his eyebrows at Su Miaomiao suggestively, this cat father, wouldn’t he want to cheat behind the cat mother’s back?
As soon as the idea came to an end, the female tenant said, “You pester me again and call the police!”
Now, the three hurried out to check the situation.
In the corridor, Su Mingan looked embarrassed.
The young female tenant who was about to open the door with the key was stunned when she saw the two new faces beside Gu Jialing.
Su Ming’an explained sincerely: “Look, she is my daughter, and she is a good friend with this kid. I am really worried about her renting a house outside, so I want them to live next door and take care of each other.”
It was impossible for her daughter to live in the same flat with Gu Jialing, and Su Mingan was worried about being far away, so she wanted to compensate the tenant next door with double the rent, so that her daughter could rent here.
Su Ming’an’s luck is good, because the young couple next door works a bit far away, they just plan to rent another place recently.
The misunderstanding was cleared up, and it was confirmed that Su Mingan was not a bad man playing tricks. The female tenant exchanged contact information with Su Miaomiao, and she would give the Su family an answer after discussing it with her boyfriend at night.
Su Mingan breathed a sigh of relief, and called 801 with the children.
“Scared me, I thought you wanted to apologize to my Aunt Weiwei.” Gu Jialing joked gloatingly.
Su Mingan glared at him.
Gu Jialing hid in the refrigerator to get some fruit.
Su Mingan looked at Xie Jingyuan: “If Miaomiao moves next door, will you still live in the dormitory?”
Xie Jingyuan: “No, I will also move here to live with Gu Jialing. If anything happens to Miaomiao in the future, I can help her.”
Su Mingan snorted heavily.
Su Miaomiao asked suspiciously: “Father doesn’t want the Taoist priest to move here?”
Su Mingan coughed again, and said reluctantly: “No, you are not familiar with the place here, so father feels more at ease when the two of you live next to each other.”
Xie Jingyuan suddenly understood Su Mingan’s concerns.
It’s just that it’s not convenient to make any guarantees on this occasion.
Su Mingan looked at the time and said to Xie Jingyuan: “Okay, we are going to rest, you should go back to school too.”
Xie Jingyuan glanced at Su Miaomiao and left.
At ten o’clock in the evening, when Su Miaomiao was asleep, the young couple next door knocked on the door, expressing their willingness to accept Su Mingan’s conditions.
Su Ming’an offered an extra 5,000 yuan for them to move out tomorrow morning, because he wanted to help his daughter pack 802 as soon as possible, and then rush back to Anshi for business.
The young couple collected the money and acted very quickly. They packed their luggage overnight, and the moving company came to the door early the next morning.
Su Mingan re-signed the lease contract with the landlord, and the lease lasts for four years.
As for the bed table and cabinets in 802, Su Mingan also asked the landlord to take them away, and he wanted to buy new ones for his daughter.
Su Miaomiao went to the school dormitory for tutoring, and Su Mingan took the warm-hearted classmate Gu Jialing to the home furnishing store.
If you have money, you will be more efficient. After running around for a day, at night, 802 has completely changed its appearance under Su Mingan’s design.
The master bedroom is Su Miaomiao’s bedroom, and there are two secondary bedrooms, one for the cloakroom and one for the gym.
There is no TV in the living room, so Su Mingan bought a wall-mounted bookcase and kept her daughter’s books and trophies.
The curtains and sofas have been replaced with light colors, and some green plants and flowers have been added, which is warm and beautiful.
Gu Jialing enviously said: “Uncle is worthy of running a decoration company, why don’t you help us modify 801?”
Su Ming’an: “I don’t have time, I have to go back to Anshi tomorrow afternoon.”
Gu Jialing was still a little bit reluctant.
Su Mingan’s heart moved, he put his arms around Gu Jialing’s shoulders and said, “Uncle has given you a task. If you can do it, if you want to decorate the resort in the future, uncle will do it for you.”
Gu Jialing nodded again and again: “What task, you can just say it.”
Su Mingan pointed to the floor under his feet: “It’s not safe for a girl to live by herself, you have to protect Miaomiao for me, if a man comes to her side, no matter who it is, you have to stay by Miaomiao’s side. Follow along.”
Gu Jialing: “Understood, I promise to do it!”
Whoever dares to bully cats will not pay attention to their concept of purity and emptiness!
Su Mingan had deep meaning in his eyes: “No one can do it, including Xu Shou, including Jing Yuan.”
Gu Jialing continued to pat her chest: “Don’t worry, even if you come, I will keep an eye on you!”
