Tricking Su Nuan into Co-habitation Battle, Success

When Chen Yi woke up, the first thing he did was look around.

He was afraid that everything from yesterday was just a dream, but seeing the familiar surroundings, Chen Yi confirmed that it was all real.

A dream?

It didn't exist.

He glanced out the window; the sun was already high. Chen Yi knew he had overslept, but he didn't expect it to be this late, as the clock on the wall was frozen at one in the afternoon.

He had slept in very late, but it was indeed comfortable.

As far as Chen Yi was concerned, he was already late, but someone was even later than him. Who could this subordinate be?

That's right!

It was Su Nuan, who had moved into his house yesterday.

This wasn't bad either. Getting enough sleep was comfortable, but Chen Yi also realized that if possible in the future, he would need her to remind him.

Early to bed and early to rise makes for good health; maintaining a regular schedule is key.

However!

That was for the future.

For now, it was time to cook!

Steam some rice!

Make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

He would just make something simple, and after it was done, he would type on his phone.

[Chen Yi: Stop playing dead, come out and eat]

[Su Nuan: ????]

[Su Nuan: How did you know I was awake? Were you peeking at me?]

[Chen Yi: Douyin friend online, what do you think?]

[Su Nuan: ...]

Less than half a minute later, Su Nuan stumbled out, still groggy.

She looked sleepy, completely not awake, and her appearance was a little off. It wasn't that her complexion was bad.

Su Nuan was sleepy, but that didn't mean her body was weak.

It was her clothes!

Normally, two buttons on a pajama top were best, but this time, Su Nuan had three buttons undone. The scene was quite nice, but still a little disappointing.

How to put it?

Chen Yi had a poker hand: 9, 10, Q, K, A. The moment he got it, he shouted... where's the J!

Perhaps sensing this.

A blush appeared on Su Nuan's face. It wasn't that bad, not too low, but for a girl, being shy was normal. She immediately spoke:

"What are you looking at? Be careful, I'll poke your eyes out."

Chen Yi said with a serious expression, "I'm not looking, and there's nothing to look at."

"You..."

Su Nuan, who had been a little shy, completely darkened after hearing this. This move was low on damage but high on insult.

"I'll grow!"

"This..."

Chen Yi didn't say anything further. All he could say was:

Don't think about it!

It'll just be like this in the future.

Chen Yi even wondered if there were any usable potions in the system.

Sorry!

There weren't!

There were only four types of potions in total.

[Mental, Stamina, Pain, Illness,]

There was no breast enhancement option.

Then there was nothing he could do.

ε=(ο｀*))) Alas!

Su Nuan ate her meal huffily, thinking... she had to move out today. So after eating and cleaning up, she said:

"I'm going out to look for an apartment!"

"Let me go with you!"

"No need! I can go by myself."

"Do you know the way?"

"..."

Su Nuan, who had been huffing angrily, was brought back to reality by that question.

She really didn't know the way.

The foot that had already stepped out halfway was retracted, and her face was filled with immense awkwardness. Chen Yi then spoke calmly, saying:

"I'll take you, consider it an apology for what happened at noon."

"Wow! You're a good person."

"Don't give me the 'good person' card."

"(ˉ▽￣~) Pfft~~"

Su Nuan shot Chen Yi a look. "I'm complimenting you."

"I don't want to be complimented like that."

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go, let's go, we're going to see the apartment."

"Okay!"

The two went downstairs together and rode off on a small electric scooter, Chen Yi in front and Su Nuan behind. Looking at the tall buildings around them, she felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

But looking at the back of the person in front of her, Su Nuan felt an unprecedented sense of belonging.

At the same time, a peculiar thought crossed her mind.

She was a little reluctant to move.

But very quickly!

This thought was dismissed again. She couldn't keep bothering others. Even if Chen Yi was willing, she wouldn't be. This was a matter of upbringing.

At least in Su Nuan's opinion, her upbringing was quite good.

Soon!

The two found a real estate agency. Actually, Su Nuan had been looking forward to it at the beginning.

She had already planned it all out.

After moving into the new apartment, she would treat Chen Yi to a meal.

She would cook it herself, as she was quite confident in her culinary skills. In Su Nuan's eyes, Chen Yi would definitely see her in a new light then.

Thinking like this…

The agent gave them a rough price. If renting as an individual, it would be around three thousand!

Initially, Su Nuan could afford this amount.

But when she learned that it required a deposit plus three months' rent upfront, her expression completely froze. "Um! Shouldn't it be… a deposit plus one month's rent?"

"That… we don't do that!"

After asking several places, they all had the same policy. At this moment, Su Nuan felt the coldness of the big city and understood the harshness of reality.

This situation wasn't funny, but Chen Yi couldn't help but laugh.

Yesterday, when Su Nuan said two to three thousand was enough, he knew this would be the outcome. There were many unwritten rules when renting through an agency.

For example, for the tenant.

They needed to pay one month's rent as an agency fee. If it was a deposit plus one month's rent, and if you only rented for one month and then left, the landlord wouldn't get a penny after the rent was returned.

Wouldn't the apartment be rented for free then?

That's why it was always a deposit plus three months' rent.

They went to several more places, and finally, after gritting her teeth, they found a suitable one. But the landlord directly said they had to pay for a whole year upfront. If they only wanted to rent for a short term, then the price would increase.

If you wanted to rent for a year, it would be two thousand five hundred per month.

If you only wanted to rent for three months, it would be three thousand five hundred per month.

How to put it!

Life is full of tricks, especially in this day and age. The tricks only get deeper. And at this moment, Su Nuan was experiencing it all.

The city's tricks run deep, I want to go back to the countryside.

Unfortunately, Su Nuan wouldn't go back. Leaving right after coming out.

Did she have no pride?

For this reason, there was only one place Su Nuan could go.

Seeing Su Nuan's dejected look, Chen Yi immediately said, "Actually, you don't need to go through so much trouble. My place is empty anyway, so why not just stay there."

"I..."

Hearing this, Su Nuan felt a warmth rise in her heart.

In this cold city, only the person in front of her could bring them a sliver of warmth. After hearing Chen Yi's suggestion, Su Nuan was genuinely tempted.

But she still hesitated, saying, "This... this..."

Just as she was about to reply, he said, "No rush, it's late now. Let's go back first. Sleeping for one day is still sleeping, sleeping for two days is also sleeping."

"Ah! Okay! Then... I'll trouble you for now."

In the end, Su Nuan chose to accept Chen Yi's proposal, and he mentally gave a big thumbs-up!

It's all about the strategy!

Everywhere has them.

It was the same here. At first, Su Nuan wouldn't agree to stay. It wasn't just Su Nuan; any normal person would choose the same.

But if you stay for two days, stay for three days... and get used to it.

Then you won't want to leave.

Isn't that cohabitation?

Chen Yi nodded to himself, after all, there's a saying: "True feelings are hard to keep, only strategy wins hearts." This was pretty much the same.

After returning home, Su Nuan snatched Chen Yi's work.

She proactively offered to cook in the kitchen.

Chen Yi couldn't refuse her, so he could only wait outside. But as soon as he sat down... his phone rang. Upon seeing the message, Chen Yi's eyes lit up.

[Hua Kai Ban Xia has accepted your friend request!]

Hua Kai Ban Xia?

Who is that!

Many people might not know, but Chen Yi knew very well that she was Snake's manager. With the friend request accepted, Chen Yi knew that half of his plan was complete.

The next step was to arrange the tryouts.

He hoped everything would go smoothly!

And so...

Chen Yi began typing.

[Chen Yi: Sister Qian, hello. Do you need a player? If you do, I'll send one over right now.]

[Wu Qian: Yes! What positions? Tell me.]

[Chen Yi: Bot lane, a perfect pair.]
