Liu Yanran never expected the man she had been looking to find would suddenly appear before her eyes, which truly stunned her.
Zhu Bufan was also surprised.
Zhu Bufan didn't expect that the person coming to rent his apartment would be the woman who claimed to have crashed into him.
"Xiao Zhu, Xiao Liu, you know each other?"
The landlord was also taken aback.
"Yes, sort of." Seeing Liu Yanran suddenly appearing before him, Zhu Bufan didn't show any particular emotion but casually responded.
Then, he turned around and went to pack up his belongings by himself.
Seeing Zhu Bufan, Liu Yanran felt very happy and told herself in her heart: This time, I definitely won't let you get away.
But Zhu Bufan's reaction really caught Liu Yanran off guard.
Am I not beautiful?
Then why is he so cold towards me?
"Hey, Zhu Bufan, do you have to be like this? At the very least, we've met before..." Seeing Zhu Bufan's indifference towards her, Liu Yanran felt a bit annoyed, but she didn't think much about it and immediately went in and stood in front of Zhu Bufan.
"Miss, I'm not familiar with you, please step aside. I need to pack up my things, otherwise, you won't be able to move in today." Seeing Liu Yanran blocking his way, a helpless expression appeared on Zhu Bufan's face.
Zhu Bufan couldn't understand why this woman wanted to cling to him. It's just that he accidentally bumped into her and saved her once, right? That wasn't necessary.
Hmm, not familiar?
"Yes, yes, we aren't familiar, but from this moment on, we will be. Come on, let's shake hands and become good friends..."
Hearing Zhu Bufan's answer, Liu Yanran was first taken aback, but after thinking it over, she realized she indeed wasn't familiar with Zhu Bufan. However, it didn't matter, as the saying goes, 'Strangers at first, but familiar after two meetings.'
Moreover, such a coincidental meeting further proved to her that she and Zhu Bufan were meant to be.
So, would Liu Yanran be reserved?
Thus, Liu Yanran immediately showed a smile, reached out her hand, grabbed Zhu Bufan's hand, and held it firmly.
Being grabbed by Liu Yanran, Zhu Bufan was speechless, he really hadn't expected Liu Yanran to be so forthright.
After shaking Zhu Bufan's hand, Liu Yanran's face flushed instantly. This was her first time taking such a direct approach with a boy.
However, she quickly regained her composure.
"Cough cough, so, Zhu Bufan, now we're good friends, and this apartment conveniently has two bedrooms and one living room, and I'm renting the whole place. So, you don't have to move out, I was actually looking for someone to share the apartment with. Why don't I just rent it to you..."
Landlord Aunt Zhang looked at Zhu Bufan and Liu Yanran, and originally, she found it strange—if the two knew each other, then Liu Yanran should have known that Zhu Bufan lived there.
But...
However, seeing Zhu Bufan's actions, it was as if Liu Yanran had hurt him before.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
Young people, who doesn't have a past?
Thinking this, Aunt Zhang felt relieved.
Obviously, Aunt Zhang mistook Liu Yanran for Zhu Bufan's ex-girlfriend, who broke up with him due to his poverty, and unexpectedly, today they had ended up back together.
However, Aunt Zhang was startled as soon as she thought about it.
Rent a room to Zhu Bufan?
That was not what the girl said to her at that time.
"Um!" After glancing at Zhu Bufan with his cold demeanor, and then at the enthusiastic Liu Yanran, Aunt Zhang immediately showed a knowing expression.
"Haha, Zhu, originally your Aunt Zhang was asking you to move out, and I felt a bit bad about it, now it's good, little Liu is willing to rent a room to you, perfect."
Immediately, Aunt Zhang laughed heartily.
"What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and pay the money..."
Aunt Zhang has a kind heart; since she understood the situation, it was natural for her to try her best to bring these young people back together, so she immediately grabbed Zhu Bufan and kept urging him.
Zhu Bufan, such a miserable guy.
Since when did he agree to co-rent with a woman?
Even if he was going to rent a place, he would rent alone this time, what's the meaning of living together with Liu Yanran?
"Aunt Zhang, I... I'm not renting, I'm not comfortable living with a woman, I... I'll just go find another place!" Zhu Bufan said hesitantly.
"Nonsense, Zhu, it's not easy to find a place right now, and besides, you're familiar with this area, aren't you? Look at you, even a young lady like her isn't embarrassed, and you start to feel shy. Besides, aren't you guys good friends? Good friends living together is totally fine..."
Zhu Bufan's hesitance made Aunt Zhang even more determined.
So, without caring whether Zhu Bufan agreed or not, Aunt Zhang took out Zhu Bufan's wallet and then counted out 1,800 yuan and gave it to Liu Yanran.
And Liu Yanran, the moment Aunt Zhang handed over the money, quickly caught it and stuffed it into her bag while also covering it.
It seemed like she was afraid Zhu Bufan would prevent her, as if she was fighting off a snatcher.
Seeing Liu Yanran's reaction, Aunt Zhang smiled knowingly and then stared at Zhu Bufan and said, "Zhu, from now on, you and little Liu should live well together, understand? Also, you must not bully little Liu, I really like this girl."
"Little Liu, if Zhu bullies you in the future, just tell me, I'll sort this guy out for you…"
"Okay, if he bullies me, I will tell you, Aunt Zhang."
"Haha, alright, alright," Aunt Zhang laughed again, "Alright, Aunt Zhang has other things to do, so I will leave first, you guys take care..."
"Okay, Aunt Zhang, have a safe trip," Liu Yanran said and also handed her a pack of things, "Aunt Zhang, take these fruits with you."
Zhu Bufan was quite speechless throughout this process.
He really had not expected things to turn out this way, but now, it had already become like this. He was helpless.
Since this was the case, he decided to try to limit his interactions with this woman, Liu Yanran, as much as possible.
Zhu Bufan thought to himself.
After Aunt Zhang had left, Liu Yanran spoke, "Thank you, Zhu Bufan, without you, I can't imagine what I would have faced."
Yes, Liu Yanran had not yet properly thanked Zhu Bufan.
Liu Yanran is a sophomore at Tianhai University, initially after that day, she had planned to buy an apartment because her heartless aunt had given her five hundred thousand, and with her savings from over the years, it was enough to buy an apartment.
However, after thinking it over, Liu Yanran decided to rent instead, as she was still a student and planned to use the money for starting her business after graduation.
Regarding the university dormitory, Liu Yanran had never stayed there, and now being kicked out of the Liu Family, she wouldn't stay there because she didn't like the dormitory.
