Chapter 228 A Very Good House
Ma Junjie hadn't expected Li Xuemei to agree so readily.
However, he was also very happy to hear that.
After all, he genuinely considered Li Xuemei his best friend.
Last time I rented that small courtyard, Li Xuemei also offered to help me clean it.
It would be perfectly reasonable to invite Li Xuemei to visit her new home again.
"Xuemei, let's hurry up and go!"
Li Xuemei nodded, and the two of them followed the flow of people and slowly walked out of the commercial street.
Once outside, the two hailed a motorcycle at a street corner and headed towards Xingda Toy Factory.
Twenty minutes later, the car slowly came to a stop.
Ma Junjie shouted, "We've arrived!"
With a screech, the motorcycle braked, and Li Xuemei and Ma Junjie got off.
Ma Junjie paid the fare, and the motorcycle sped away.
Li Xuemei looked up and glanced around, then said...
"Brother Jie, is this the place you rent?"
"This place seems quite close to the one you rented before?"
Ma Junjie laughed.
"Hehe, that's right, Xuemei, you really have a keen eye."
"My new apartment is in this building."
Hearing Ma Junjie say this, Li Xuemei looked in the direction he was pointing.
"This building? Which floor?"
Ma Junjie was taken aback, then replied...
"The 6th floor!"
"However, it's quite large upstairs, with a big open-air balcony!"
Fearing that Li Xuemei might back down, Ma Junjie quickly explained.
Li Xuemei shook her head upon hearing this, and said...
"Brother Jie, I live on the third floor of the dormitory, and I feel exhausted every day climbing up and down."
"You actually rent a place on the sixth floor? Just thinking about it makes my legs go weak."
Ma Junjie smiled.
"Xuemei, as you know, nothing is perfect. You can't have it all."
"It only costs a little over two hundred a month here. Go check it out for yourself and you'll see how great the value is!"
Upon hearing Ma Junjie mention that it was only a little over two hundred yuan a month, Li Xuemei immediately became interested.
"Brother Jie, is it really that cheap?"
"Then I think the sixth floor is acceptable!"
"Hahaha!" Ma Junjie laughed loudly, shaking his head slightly.
"Xuemei, stop talking nonsense and let's go up and take a look!"
As he spoke, Ma Junjie pushed open the unit door and let Li Xuemei go in first.
Li Xuemei went inside, adjusted herself for a moment, and then slowly climbed the stairs.
After climbing for quite a while, the two finally reached the sixth floor.
Li Xuemei was panting, her face was slightly flushed, and she was even a little out of breath.
Ma Junjie laughed,
"Xuemei, I feel you're a bit weak right now; you're not getting enough exercise!"
"You need to exercise more in the future!"
Li Xuemei glanced at Ma Junjie and said impatiently,
"Hmph, you think you're so strong!"
"Alright, hurry up and open the door!"
"I'm already doing a good job not collapsing after climbing six floors with you in one go."
Ma Junjie chuckled and quickly took out his keys to open the door.
Walking inside, Ma Junjie placed his things next to the sofa and said,
"Xuemei, look at this place! Isn't it huge!"
"Compared to a dormitory, I feel like this place is a villa!"
Li Xuemei touched her chest and paced around the room.
She observed slowly, then went to the balcony and looked outside.
The weather is nice today; the sun shines warmly on the balcony, giving a very cozy feeling.
"Xuemei, what do you think? Tell me, is it worth over two hundred?"
Liu Xuemei turned around, looked at Ma Junjie, and said somewhat reluctantly,
"Hmm, Brother Jie, this house... it's... not bad, right?"
"I really like this big balcony because of its good natural light."
"The dormitory was dark and damp, and after living there for a while, I became a bit depressed."
"Hahaha!" Ma Junjie blurted out upon hearing this.
"Xuemei, since you like it, I have several bedrooms here. Why don't you move in?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xuemei was completely stunned.
Ma Junjie didn't think much of it; he was just acting out of kindness.
He sensed that Liu Xuemei seemed somewhat interested, and continued...
"Xuemei, I'm serious."
"I live alone, and the house is just sitting empty. If you come and stay, you can help me earn back the rent!"
Li Xuemei hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said somewhat vaguely,
"Hmm...okay...let's see how things go next."
Ma Junjie said happily,
"Sure! If you ever want to move here later, just do so anytime!"
Li Xuemei was suddenly moved, turned her head, and said softly.
"Although your room has better natural light than the dorm, it's too high up..."
"It's too high, my legs are weak, I can't climb it, I need to get used to it..."
As Ma Junjie listened, he couldn't help but glance at Li Xuemei's legs.
Straight and slender, neither too thin nor too fat.
In fact, Li Xuemei has a very good figure, but she always wears work clothes, so her good figure is hidden.
Ma Junjie was too embarrassed to look any longer.
He silently turned around and went to the kitchen to boil water, preparing to pour some water for Li Xuemei to drink.
A few minutes later, after the water boiled and came out,
He suddenly saw Li Xuemei already sweeping the living room floor with a broom.
Ma Junjie quickly stopped him.
"Xuemei, why are you cleaning now?"
"No, don't do this, put it down quickly..."
"I invited you over, and now I'm asking you to clean up? I feel so bad!"
"Oh, right, Xuemei, I bought some food on the way. Let's eat first!"
Li Xuemei did not stop.
Instead, with a slightly annoyed expression, she said,
"Brother Jie, look at your house. Everything is brand new, but there's so much trash and dust on the floor."
"Hmph, I may not be a germaphobe, but I just can't stand seeing this!"
"You eat first, I need to clean up!"
Ma Junjie was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer.
He could only watch Li Xuemei quietly as she carried a broom from the living room to the dining room and then to the kitchen, bustling about.
Li Xuemei finally stopped after ten or twenty minutes.
Ma Junjie felt truly guilty, so he took a glass of water and went upstairs, saying...
"Oh, Xuemei, I wanted to show you my new house, but I ended up troubling you again!"
"If you do this, I'll feel too embarrassed to invite you over again! I really feel guilty!"
Li Xuemei wiped the sweat from her forehead, smoothed her hair, and gave a very frank and open laugh.
"Brother Jie, it's okay, don't overthink it."
"I just can't stand dust. If I see something dirty, I want to clean it up."
"If I go to someone else's house, I'll help them too."
Ma Junjie didn't know whether Li Xuemei was telling the truth or not.
However, it's clear that Li Xuemei is indeed a capable and hardworking person who manages the household well.
He thought to himself that if any man were to marry Li Xuemei in the future, it would be a blessing from his past life.
"Xuemei, come and eat!"
Li Xuemei picked up her water glass with a "glug glug" sound, and in no time, the glass of water was empty.
Li Xuemei wiped the sweat from her forehead again.
She looked around repeatedly, then suddenly asked,
"Brother Jie, can I take a shower here?"
"Huh?" Ma Junjie was startled; he had just put a segment of orange in his mouth when he choked.
"Cough cough..."
Ma Junjie stood up, took a sip of water, and looked at Li Xuemei somewhat embarrassed.
"Xuemei, can...can I take a bath..."
"The restroom is over there!"
Li Xuemei remained calm and composed, and said...
"It's so hot! I'm covered in sweat and feel terrible..."
"I...I'll go take a shower..."
Ma Junjie swallowed hard and nodded.
"Okay, go ahead..."
