Chapter 166 Come and take a look
"At your home?" Li Xuemei was extremely surprised and turned to look at Ma Junjie.
Ma Junjie chuckled.
"Yes, you heard me right, it's my house!"
As he spoke, Ma Junjie walked to Li Xuemei's side and explained earnestly,
"Xuemei, I rented a place here a couple of days ago and I'm moving out now."
"You tell me, isn't this my home?"
Li Xuemei suddenly realized, but her expression turned even more surprised.
She said somewhat angrily,
"Brother Jie, why...why did you move out?"
"You...you earn so little, yet you've moved out to rent a place...you...sigh!"
Li Xuemei was saddened and heartbroken that Ma Junjie did not know how to be frugal.
Ma Junjie didn't understand at first.
But then I thought about it again...
They immediately understood why Li Xuemei was angry.
Ma Junjie suddenly smiled from the bottom of his heart, feeling a surge of emotion.
Li Xuemei is truly a good girl.
What a thoughtful girl!
Ma Junjie laughed and said,
"Xuemei, thank you for your concern!"
"But... I really couldn't stand living in the dorm, every day felt like an eternity, so I had no choice but to move out."
"And...you...you don't need to worry about money for me. Money is just an external thing. The purpose of making money is to spend it, haha!"
Li Xuemei frowned.
She bit her lip.
He wore an incomprehensible expression.
He sighed and said,
"You, you're so extravagant and don't know how to save money!"
"We leave our homes to work in other places, isn't our goal to earn some money to take home?"
"Hey, you're something else, saying that making money is just for spending. Brother Jie, to put it bluntly, you're just an employee, not the boss yet, you don't deserve to enjoy life!"
Li Xuemei seemed somewhat disappointed, her face stern and her tone rather harsh.
Ma Junjie listened with a wry smile.
The atmosphere eventually became a bit somber.
Said,
"Alright, alright, Xuemei, I know, I know!"
"Xuemei, you know I'm usually very frugal."
"Forget about that, let's take a look at the apartment I'm renting."
"This house I rented is huge, it even has a yard! Xuemei, come take a look with me, I guarantee you'll love it!"
Li Xuemei looked reluctant.
He turned around and wanted to leave.
Upon seeing this, Ma Junjie panicked and immediately grabbed Li Xuemei's hand.
"Xuemei, come on, you're the first friend I've ever invited!"
"Don't spoil the fun, come on, let's liven up my new home!"
Li Xuemei was startled when Ma Junjie suddenly grabbed her hand.
She stared at Ma Junjie, somewhat incredulous.
But Ma Junjie remained calm and composed, continuing to speak fluently.
He seemed completely unconcerned about holding her hand.
Li Xuemei swallowed hard.
Slowly, she pulled her hand away from Ma Junjie's.
He said softly,
"Alright, I'll go...take a look."
Ma Junjie was overjoyed and laughed heartily.
"Great, welcome, welcome!"
"Xuemei, let's go!"
With that, Ma Junjie turned around and led the way.
Li Xuemei watched from behind.
Seeing Ma Junjie so happy, like a child, almost skipping and hopping as he walked...
Li Xuemei couldn't help but smile.
At this moment, Ma Junjie suddenly turned his head.
Li Xuemei immediately suppressed her smile.
He waved his hand solemnly and said,
"Brother Jie, please lead the way!"
Ma Junjie nodded with a "hehe".
"Okay, Xuemei, follow me closely, remember the way, and next time you can come to my house by yourself!"
Li Xuemei blushed and her mouth twisted into a crooked shape.
Said,
"Hmph, who said they'd come next time... I'm not coming."
But for some reason, I felt warm inside and overjoyed.
After walking for about five or six minutes, Ma Junjie stopped ahead.
Li Xuemei slowly walked over and asked.
"Brother Jie, is this the place?"
Ma Junjie looked ahead with deep emotion and said,
"Xuemei, this is it!"
"Look at this little courtyard, isn't it lovely? It's sunny and you can sunbathe inside."
"Once I settle down, I plan to get a dog and plant some flowers and grass. In the city, I'll finally have a home."
Li Xuemei glanced at Ma Junjie.
I noticed the gentleness in his gaze and was momentarily moved.
However, he still said it on purpose.
"Brother Jie, what you're saying is very good, but once you start working, I'm afraid you won't have the mind to plant flowers and grass at all!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie turned around and stared at Li Xuemei.
"Xuemei, how about we make a bet?"
"A bet? What kind of bet?"
"I bet you'll come to my house again in half a month and we'll see if I've kept my word."
"If I don't do it... I... I'll give you 100 yuan!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xuemei
He made a "tsk" sound.
"I thought it was some kind of bet!"
"Hmph, I don't want your hundred dollars."
"Brother Jie, open the door quickly, let me in and take a look!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie snapped out of his daze.
He laughed awkwardly.
"Yes...yes, I'm so sorry, I was so busy talking that I forgot to open the door."
As he spoke, Ma Junjie pushed open the courtyard gate and said to Li Xuemei,
"Xuemei, please come in!"
"I haven't even cleaned it properly yet, and you're already giving it a cursory glance!"
Li Xuemei walked into the courtyard and saw that it was indeed quite nice.
With a little tidying up, planting some flowers, grass, or even vegetables wouldn't be a bad idea.
It is now nearly evening, and the sun is setting.
The sunset glow shone through the buildings next door into the courtyard, turning it orange-red.
Ma Junjie and Li Xuemei stood in the orange-red sunset, feeling very warm and cozy.
Li Xuemei asked,
"Brother Jie, open the door to the room, I want to take a look around too."
Ma Junjie nodded and ran towards the house.
He lingered suspiciously by the windowsill for a while.
Then he walked to the door, slowly opened it, pushed it open, and turned around.
"Xuemei, come in!"
Li Xuemei smiled slightly and walked towards Ma Junjie.
"Brother Jie, you were acting suspiciously just now, were you getting the keys?"
Ma Junjie exclaimed in surprise, "Ouch!"
He glared at Li Xuemei and said...
"Xuemei, you have a sharp eye! Looks like I'll have to find a different place to hide the key!"
"Giggle, giggle!" Li Xuemei covered her mouth and laughed.
"Brother Jie, I advise you to take your keys with you. Otherwise, don't blame me if you lose anything!"
Ma Junjie laughed,
"No problem, if you'd like to stay here too, I'll just give you a key!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xuemei's smile froze instantly.
"I...I..."
She stammered, then suddenly blushed a little.
Finally, he simply stopped responding and walked straight into the room.
Inside the room, directly opposite is a large hall.
At the far end of the hall, there is a kitchen and a bathroom. To the left and right of the hall are two bedrooms.
Ma Junjie smiled and continued,
"Xuemei, I'm telling the truth."
"If you don't like the dorms, you can always move in with me!"
"Look, I'll live on the left, and you'll live on the right. We'll each have our own room, so we won't interfere with or disturb each other."
"This...this is much better than a dormitory for eight or nine people, isn't it?"
Ma Junjie continued speaking to himself.
Little did they know that Li Xuemei's face had already turned bright red.
After Ma Junjie finished speaking,
Li Xuemei suddenly turned her head, stared at Ma Junjie, and said with a serious expression...
