Under inquiry, Rao Jie learned that Long Yong often came here to visit friends, so he was particularly familiar with the place.
The studio apartment was very simple, equipped with everything necessary, and the utensils looked as good as new. However, there were no personal items to be found. It seemed that the previous tenant had cleaned up thoroughly before moving out.
Although the apartment was not large, it felt warm and comfortable, and Rao Jie immediately took a liking to it.
Long Yong and Rao Jie sat down, and Long Yong eagerly asked, "So, what do you think? Are you satisfied? If you are, you can move in today. If there's anything you need, the supermarket outside the community can meet all your requirements."
Rao Jie couldn't help but feel a longing for her new life. Although she still had some lingering doubts in her heart, she nodded in agreement.
As they were discussing the details, Long Yong's phone suddenly rang. He answered the call, frowned slightly, and complained helplessly for a moment before finally agreeing to whatever was requested on the other end of the line.
After hanging up, he turned to Rao Jie and said, "Sorry, the Old President needs me back urgently."
Rao Jie quickly replied, "I’m done looking around; I can leave now."
Long Yong waved his hand immediately and said, "No, it's very close to the school. It’ll only take me about ten minutes to drive there. You stay here and get used to your new home; we can grab lunch together nearby later."
Rao Jie paused for a moment but thought it was a good idea. After all, she wasn't too keen on going back so early; being with Long Yong made her feel more at ease.
So she decided to stay while Long Yong temporarily left.
Once Long Yong was gone, Rao Jie began to look around carefully again. However, after being busy for a while, she couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness wash over her. Was she really going to move away?
Just then, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Wu Rong calling.
Rao Jie hesitated for a moment but still answered the call.
On the other end of the line came a low voice that struggled to suppress its emotions. "Where have you been? Why haven't you come back yet? Who are you with?"
Rao Jie felt a bit dumbfounded by the barrage of questions but steadied her voice and replied, "I'm out; I’ll probably be back in the afternoon."
"Come back right now! I have something to tell you!"
Suddenly feeling a wave of panic wash over her, Rao Jie hurriedly said, "I have things to do; we can talk later," before quickly hanging up the phone.
Wu Rong didn’t call back again. Rao Jie let out a sigh of relief. To be honest, Wu Rong's current demeanor made her even more fearful.
Rao Jie sat in the living room, lost in thought about what to do next when a knock on the door interrupted her.
She was a bit surprised. Could Long Yong be back so soon? Before she could get up to answer the door, a voice called out from outside.
"Little Long, is Little Long home? It's your neighbor, Aunt Huang."
Rao Jie paused, furrowing her brow slightly. After a moment of hesitation, she decided to open the door.
Standing outside were two people: a woman in her forties and a girl about Rao Jie’s age. They had been smiling brightly, but as soon as they saw Rao Jie at the door, their smiles froze in place.
Rao Jie looked at them in confusion but greeted them politely, "Hello, may I ask who you are looking for? Is there something you need?"
Aunt Huang quickly regained her composure but her expression was somewhat displeased as she replied, "Who are you? Why are you here? What is your relation to this household? We are obviously here to find the owner of this house."
Rao Jie was taken aback by the question and replied, "Isn't the owner studying abroad? This room is for rent, and I'm just a friend of the owner here to check it out."
