272 The Strange Landlord

Zhai Jing bit her lips gently.

“No one is looking at us now.”

Le Wan glared at him and said vaguely,

“If the owner of the house heard you and came out with a stick, it would be embarrassing.”

“That won’t happen,” Zhai Jing chuckled.

“Why are you so sure?” Le Wan looked at him suspiciously.

Zhai Jing took out a key from his pocket and led her to the back door.

“I rented this place.”

Le Wan was surprised.

“No, when did you do such a thing?”

The lock on the door was obviously old, with a few traces of rust on it. When the key was inserted and twisted open, there was an obvious creaking sound.

“It was just when you were talking to Second Brother.”

At that time, he used the excuse of looking for a bathroom, but in fact, he was looking for a place to hang around. He happened to be here and saw the words “for rent” at the door. He casually looked inside and didn’t expect to be noticed by a young lady sitting next door.

“Little Brother, do you want to rent a house?” The young lady pulled him back enthusiastically.

Zhai Jing thought that he had a place to stay, so he wanted to leave. However, the young lady suddenly said,

“Don’t you want to have a private space with your girlfriend?”

As soon as she said this, Zhai Jing stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. He sized her up.

“You know me?”

The young lady knew that he might have misunderstood, so she quickly waved her hand and explained,

“I’m a student at the Art Academy. I go to the beach to draw every evening. Last night, I happened to see your family taking a walk by the beach. At that time, my hat was accidentally blown off by the sea breeze. The youngest boy among you ran over and picked it up for me. Don’t you remember?”

Zhai Jing thought about it for a while. It seemed that there was indeed such a thing. However, at that time, Le Wan had taken off her shoes and was walking barefoot on the beach. He was afraid that she would be hurt by those shells, so he had been focusing on her feet and didn’t pay much attention to what was happening around her.

The young lady suddenly clapped her hands.

“Right, let me show you this.”

She ran into the house and quickly came out with the drawing board.

“Look, this is the inspiration you gave me last night. I drew it all night”

On the drawing board was a gorgeous sunset and sunset glow. In the distance was the sea that was connected to the sky, and in the close distance was a simple castle and he and Le Wan squatting on the beach.

On the screen, Le Wan raised her head and looked at him with a bright and charming smile on her face. He, on the other hand, lowered his head slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes were full of love as he looked at her.

Compared to the sky and the sea, they looked so small, but the love and sweetness between the two seemed to dye the world with the most beautiful colors.

When Zhai Jing saw the painting, he couldn’t take his eyes off it. It turned out that in the eyes of others, the image of him and Le Wan together was so beautiful.

“Can you sell this painting to me?” Zhai Jing asked the young lady.

The young lady put away the painting and looked at him warily.

“If you want to buy the painting, it’s not impossible. How about you rent my small house for a week?”

It was the first time Zhai Jing heard of such a strange request.

“Why?”

Because I’m going to be away for about ten days. This house is empty anyway, so it’s better to rent it out to generate income for me.”

It was said that learning art would make one poor for three generations, and painting would ruin one’s life. To persist in learning painting, the young lady was very poor.

“The main thing is that I have to go back to school, but I only have the ticket money for the return trip. I haven’t gotten the money for the meal and the ticket back.”

And the only thing she had that she could exchange for some money was this little house.

Zhai Jing was amused.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll ruin everything inside if you hand the house over to me?”

The young lady looked away in guilt.

“To be honest, if you dare to do it, I’ll welcome you. After all, I’ve been wanting to get a new set of things inside.”

“Therefore, the young lady didn’t rent out the house every time she saw someone. Yesterday, to observe more of Le Wan and Zhai Jing’s expressions, she had even followed them from a distance.”

Although she couldn’t get into the neighborhood because of the security, she had a rough idea of which building they lived in. The people who could afford to live in that kind of place were all rich and Noble, so she wasn’t afraid.
