Found You

Chapter 35: Found You

It was already one in the afternoon by the time they had barely finished packing. Su Qi couldn't help marveling at how many little things girls had, especially cosmetics, which truly opened her eyes.

Blush, eyeshadow, foundation, mascara, lipstick, lip gloss, colored contacts...

There were countless sparkling bottles and jars, along with necklaces, bracelets, and anklets, every one of them gleaming. Holding what looked like a silver bracelet, Su Qi asked Wang Yun how much it cost.

"Ah, that's Delt's new bracelet. It's only 10,300-plus, pretty cheap."

Seeing Su Qi stare in stunned silence, Wang Yun began introducing the diamond-studded gold bangle beside it.

"This one is Tiffany's T-series gold bracelet. It's much more expensive than that one—53,000."

Poor Su Qi's jaw was practically dropping. How could such a tiny bracelet cost 53,000? How did it dare?

Just because it had a name like that?

Su Qi finally understood why women were called the strongest consumers. This was simply too hard to accept.

Wang Yun said she just loved seeing Su Qi look so inexperienced.

After packing everything up, the three of them went to Green City Property Management to complete the handover.

The staff member skillfully brought out a form. It came in triplicate: one copy for the tenant, one for the landlord, and one kept on file by the property management office, to be retrieved in case of disputes.

The woman handling the rental payments looked to be in her early twenties. Her shoulder-length hair and simple makeup made her seem especially capable.

Normally, she did not pay much attention to the appearances of the residents. But today's trio was different—they were rather eye-catching, and her gaze kept drifting toward the pair of flower-like sisters.

Beautiful things lifted one's mood, regardless of gender.

Su Qi's black hair covered her eyes, and her inconspicuous appearance made people unconsciously overlook her.

"Please write today's date here, then your name here, along with the rent amount. You'll need to leave a fingerprint when paying the remaining balance. It's one month's deposit and three months' rent. The deposit, equal to one month's rent, will be held by the property management office. After three months, we'll inspect your home. Damaged items must be compensated for. If too many items are damaged and the tenant runs away, you will face legal consequences..." Bai Miao reminded them professionally, mainly directing the warning at Su Qi, since she was the tenant.

At first glance, Bai Miao felt Su Qi was rather hard to categorize by gender. Her skin was fair and smooth, her features delicate, though her hair obscured her full face. The Soochow University uniform beside her concealed her Adam's apple, her chest was entirely flat, and she wore sneakers. Judging by her feet, she was probably over a size 40.

Taking the notice from Bai Miao, Su Qi read it carefully. It couldn't be helped—at the mention of legal consequences, Su Qi instinctively shuddered. Although she had not posted anything domestically, she was still scared...

Wang Zijin also looked over the contract and noticed the monthly rent of 2,500.

Wang Zijin knew Wang Yun merely wanted to rent the apartment out, while Su Qi was short on money. If she helped Su Qi bargain a little, she could earn some goodwill. So she said, "Sis, how about giving Su Qi a discount..."

Looking at her younger sister, Wang Yun was somewhat speechless. You think I don't know what you're up to? But why are you using the apartment I bought to earn goodwill? What are your intentions? You want to fleece me? Dream on...

"Yes, this price should be adjusted. After all, you're still my boyfriend—I ought to give you a discount."

Wang Yun breathed softly, deliberately winding a lock of hair around her index finger like a seductive fox.

Su Qi understood Wang Yun's hint perfectly. It was about the thirty days of warming her bed after the photo blackmail. Su Qi did not want to suffer social death, much less let the image she had built in front of Wang Zijin collapse, so she nodded in agreement.

"Then let's make it 2,000 a month. I'll come check on you anytime, boyfriend..." Hearing the seductive lilt in Wang Yun's voice, Su Qi felt that sleeping with a gorgeous woman and getting paid for it afterward was a pretty great deal.

"Please show me your ID!" Bai Miao asked Su Qi, preparing for the final step.

When Wang Zijin saw the large word "male" in the gender field of Su Qi's ID, she let out a sigh of relief. Wang Yun, however, widened her eyes.

Oh my god, she really was a man. But thinking of Su Qi's dainty little feet, her oriole-like voice, and that faint lingering fragrance, Wang Yun was certain of her own judgment.

Still, were there really people in modern society who dressed as the opposite sex? Had her family forced her to do this?

This girl was so pitiful.

After handing the room key to Su Qi, Su Qi waited downstairs with the other two for Huolala.

Wang Zijin was extremely satisfied today. She had gotten Su Qi's phone number, closed the distance between them, and even learned Su Qi's address. Su Qi had said she would not be attending school for the next few days.

Having joined the group chat, Wang Zijin knew why. Su Qi was going to wear women's clothing and was simply too embarrassed to say so.

But if Su Qi did not go to school, wouldn't that mean her best friend could not approach Su Qi? She could come by now and then to make her presence known, bring a few little gifts, and finally cook the rice into porridge.

By then, she could hold Su Qi's hand in front of her best friend. She could already imagine An Ning's darkened expression. Just thinking about it was thrilling.

"Are you three coming along too? I can give you a ride while I'm at it!" the Huolala driver asked after loading the goods.

Seeing that the two workers looked strong, Su Qi worried about the delicate Wang sisters. She whispered, "Do you need me to protect you?"

Wang Zijin looked at Wang Yun, and Wang Yun looked at Wang Zijin. Then both of them looked at the slender Su Qi at the same time, awkwardly smiling as they shook their heads to say it was unnecessary.

Su Qi: Felt somewhat offended.

In the truck, Wang Zijin and Wang Yun chatted idly. Wang Yun found it rather amusing.

Her younger sister had always been quite dull. Usually, Wang Yun had to be the one to start conversations, but today Wang Zijin had finally made some progress and was taking the initiative to chat with her, even if every topic was about Su Qi. Her intentions were obvious to everyone.

But Wang Yun did not refute her. She merely took out a key from her waist and played with it in her hand.

"Sis, could that be—" Wang Zijin stared at the key.

"Yes, it's exactly what you think."

"My dear sister."

The driver and movers looked at the overly affectionate sisters in the back seat and only felt that their relationship was truly wonderful.

Yet in a corner Wang Zijin did not know about, An Ning, wearing a baseball cap, watched Wang Zijin pass by in the Huolala truck and smiled.

She turned back toward Green City Apartments. Found you...

Su Qi, who was riding the elevator, suddenly shivered. She had the feeling that someone was watching her.
