An unfamiliar girl stood at the door, completely outside Hao Ren's expectations.
The girl wore a slightly oversized gray hoodie. She was petite, with somewhat dark skin, delicate and spirited features, and a neat ponytail tied behind her head. She wasn't exactly stunning, but she had a lively, youthful charm. Seeing Hao Ren frozen in the doorway, she waved a hand in front of him. "Hello, is this Hao Ren's place?"
Hao Ren snapped out of his daze and hurriedly replied, "Oh, yes, yes, I'm Hao Ren. You are...?"
"My name is Nangong May!" The strange girl at the door flashed a sweet smile, then handed over a card. "You have a room for rent here, right? I'm here to rent it!"
Hao Ren took the card without looking closely, because his first thought was how to bluff the girl into leaving. She seemed to have seen the rental advertisement he had put in the newspaper over a month ago. In the past, Hao Ren would have warmly welcomed a new tenant, but now it was absolutely out of the question. Not one of the people living in the house was ordinary. Ever since Lily had moved in, the place was no longer suitable for renting to humans from Earth!
"Uh, well, sorry, but all the rooms here have already been rented out..." Hao Ren hurriedly searched for an excuse to send her away. At the same time, he wondered how the advertisement he had placed in the newspaper back then could still attract tenants today. It had become quite a nuisance. Just as he spoke, Vivian heard the commotion and came over to investigate. "Landlord, who's outside?"
"Someone here to rent a room," Hao Ren said to Vivian, deliberately speaking loudly. "Weren't all the vacant rooms already rented out...?"
