What attracts Jiang Yizhou the most is undoubtedly those two rows of Ginkgo Trees.
What is the most beautiful in the capital? Aside from the ancient buildings and cultural relics that have accumulated over history, the maple leaves and ginkgo leaves are the most beautiful. Every year, at the end of September and the beginning of October, under the splendid Ginkgo Trees, the intoxicating ginkgo yellow gives a dreamy feeling.
In his past life, all of Jiang Yizhou's university photos were taken under the Ginkgo Trees, so it’s no wonder he has a deep impression.
Following the chattering Ding Zhengnan, who was like a bird that couldn't stop talking, Jiang Yizhou entered the building. The key was in Ding Zhengnan's hand. "Senior Sister entrusted this house to my family's agency to sell. I wanted to buy it myself when I had money, so I pressed her not to sell it. But then she insisted that if it didn't sell within six months, she would find someone else!"
As he spoke, Ding Zhengnan seemed a bit displeased, perhaps revealing his true nature in front of Jiang Yizhou.
The living room, bedroom, and study all exuded an antique and tidy feeling, which suited Jiang Yizhou's taste perfectly.
As for luxury houses, even if servants lived there, it would still feel empty. Jiang Yizhou thought living in such a house felt like a nightmare; it needed to have lights on twenty-four hours a day.
In his mind, the best house was a secluded courtyard deep in a bustling alley where he could reach every corner.
This courtyard roughly met his requirements. Seeing the girl's excited expression, he decided to treat her to a gift!
"Do you want to buy it?" Jiang Yizhou suddenly asked the girl who was immersed in her explanation.
"Hey... what are you talking about, Yi Zhou? I'm just trying to sell you this house! If I sell it, I get a commission; it's not that I want you to buy it!" Ding Zhengnan's darting eyes had already betrayed her thoughts. "Senior Sister has urged me many times; if I can sell it now, that would be great!"
"Alright, alright, I'll buy it! How much is it?" Jiang Yizhou said with a wry smile. What else could he do? He might as well buy it and let her make a fuss; as long as he didn't cause trouble while living in China, that was fine.
Ding Zhengnan didn’t mind much; after all, it was just a house that couldn’t be bought with pocket money. She had mentioned it to her father before but was held back by him, which was why she hadn’t bought it yet.
"Really? It's only three million. I remember you made quite a bit recently; you should have enough for this!" Ding Zhengnan was now focused on how to get Jiang Yizhou to buy this courtyard.
That price was quite bold; they probably calculated the area inside the courtyard too. Although this house had its charm, there were plenty of old houses in the capital, and renovations would be needed later on.
"Okay, I'll buy it!" Jiang Yizhou naturally couldn't pour cold water on her enthusiasm; if he was going to pour water, it should be warm. Although it was quite expensive—around two or three hundred thousand—Jiang Yizhou had gotten used to counting in dollars by now and didn't feel much impact.
It’s not like it’s the Emperor’s carrot, being sold for ten taels of silver per pound like a fat pig, just a simple transaction.
However, since the head of the household, Ding Zhengnan’s senior sister, is not in the country and they have to wait for her to come back to handle the transfer procedures, Jiang Yizhou can only hope she arrives before he leaves.
Ding Zhengnan took a week off because her boyfriend returned, which shocked her colleagues. It really was a case of doing as one pleased; having an elder find you a job isn’t meant to be squandered like this. Only Pan Su became more convinced of her judgment.
Aside from checking on work progress every morning and evening and handling some documents, Jiang Yizhou spent his time accompanying Ding Zhengnan as they strolled through the streets and attractions of the capital.
“Don’t you feel tired?” Whenever Jiang Yizhou asked this question, Ding Zhengnan would immediately respond with “Not at all.”
Jiang Yizhou was starting to feel restless. “How about we find a place to rest?”
He looked around and finally focused on the sign of an inn.
This was certainly not a coincidence; the heart of a theoretical expert had long been ignited with passion. With a legitimate girlfriend, why should he endure?
Jiang Yizhou was never a saint and didn’t quite believe that sex and love were unrelated; the two complemented each other.
If a relationship could be maintained solely by love, it would only mean that this love was deep and painful. The two might find joy in their suffering, but since they could enjoy even more joy together, there was no need for the former.
It was like fearing death versus facing it head-on; being able to confront death is a sign of bravery, but if I can avoid such danger through normal means, why not take advantage of that?
Jiang Yizhou was just an ordinary person who didn’t understand what love was. He wanted to be in a relationship and had dreams of a harem in his heart, but he felt it was unrealistic. Meeting a girl who loved him and guided him on the path of romance was already fortunate enough.
Although Ding Zhengnan did not resist those intimate actions while interacting with Jiang Yizhou, when it came to this step, she, who had always boldly led Jiang Yizhou in romance, hesitated instead.
Following Jiang Yizhou’s gaze, she realized that it wasn’t a bench or concrete platform by the roadside where they could sit and rest; it was an inn. She immediately understood her boyfriend’s thoughts.
“Um… maybe we should just go home?” At that moment, the girl seemed completely transformed; her face flushed red as she lowered her head, awkwardly responding while unknowingly gripping Jiang Yizhou’s hand tightly, suppressing her nervousness.
In life, doing anything for the first time is always nerve-wracking because the first time signifies change. The most unsettling change could be death. However, for a girl in her youth, what is about to happen now is the most important and the most anxiety-inducing, even if it is something she has long anticipated.
"Go to my place? Or to yours?" Jiang Yizhou could hardly hide his excitement and nervousness as he continued to ask.
"Go... go... to your place!" The girl's voice was like someone turning the volume down to the lowest setting; Jiang Yizhou could only vaguely hear those last two words.
The two of them had not encountered any issues along the way; this was just a natural progression, a normal romance that had smoothly led them to this point.
Home naturally referred to the shared rental place. Qin Yi needed to work and would not be back until at least five in the afternoon, while the house he had just purchased was still under renovation.
More importantly, they had spent a lot of time together in his bedroom. Jiang Yizhou was quite flustered; despite having rinsed his head with cold water in the bathroom earlier, he couldn't calm himself down. Now, wearing a bathrobe, he excitedly rolled around on the bed.
"Click!"
Hearing the doorknob being turned, Jiang Yizhou immediately sat up straight, although it was somewhat obvious he was trying to hide something.
The girl was fully dressed, and she explained somewhat flusteredly, "There’s a bathrobe in the bathroom; it must belong to Sister Qin? I didn’t dare to use it..."
