Chapter 1059 -56:

Today he could finally cancel his lease, and his money could stop flowing out so quickly. But Go Biqing was a bit troubled about how to move house. Moving himself would be a hassle; calling a moving company seemed unnecessary, as he didn’t have any large items. Doing it himself seemed too much; taking a taxi felt wasteful, and taking the bus was even more troublesome. Just as Go Biqing was worrying, the phone rang, and it turned out to be Murong Qing calling.

Murong Qing was calling to ask about Go Biqing’s work situation. After hearing that work was okay, Go Biqing suddenly remembered Murong Qing had a car and it wouldn’t be a big deal to bother her for help. At worst, he’d treat her to a meal after he got paid.

When Go Biqing mentioned it over the phone, Murong Qing agreed immediately, as if she was very happy about it. Go Biqing was puzzled why she seemed happier than him finding a way to move houses; it was really strange.

Then Go Biqing took the bus back to the apartment near the school. Before he even reached the apartment, he saw Murong Qing’s car parked there from a distance. It was surprising how proactive she seemed to be.

Go Biqing walked up and said, “You don’t need to be this proactive, right? You’ve been here a long time, haven’t you? Your home is not far from here, and it took me half an hour by bus to get back.”

Murong Qing smiled and said, “Not at all. You have to think about how us girls need time to get ready to go out. I haven’t been here long.”

“Anyway, thank you. I’ll treat you to dinner after I get paid,” Go Biqing said generously upon hearing her response.

Murong Qing immediately replied, “Okay, I’m looking forward to it. By the way, how much is your salary?”

“My salary is 1,800 yuan a month. Why are you so interested in this?” Go Biqing said nonchalantly, since she seemed to know quite a bit about him anyway.

“Nothing much, I just wanted to ask. If your salary is too low, how could I bear to exploit you?” Murong Qing said, her eyes sparkling.

Go Biqing could tell she wasn’t asking because of that, but since she covered it up so well, he didn’t press further.

The two of them went to the door of Go Biqing’s apartment, where he opened the door and started packing his luggage. Murong Qing naturally didn’t just stand by; she helped with the packing too. Once they finished packing, Go Biqing wouldn’t let Murong Qing, a girl, carry the items down for him. All the luggage was moved by him.

They went downstairs, loaded the car, and Go Biqing got in, letting out a long breath. Although the luggage wasn’t much, it wasn’t little either. After going up and down several times, he felt a bit tired.

“Here, wipe it off. You’ve sweated so much; let’s rest a bit before we go,” Murong Qing said, handing him a tissue.

Go Biqing took the tissue and said, “Thanks, you’ve really gone out of your way today.”

“Aren’t we friends? If you keep thanking me, I won’t help you next time,” Murong Qing pretended to be angry upon hearing Go Biqing thank her again.

Go Biqing smiled slightly at Murong Qing’s reaction, knowing she was just being kind. He didn’t mind it but did remember in his heart that there weren’t many people who would help him like this when he was in difficulty. Murong Qing did everything well without ever showing pity or sympathy, which Go Biqing knew was because he was quite sensitive at this time.

After enjoying the car’s air conditioning for a while, Go Biqing said, “Hold on, I need to say goodbye to the landlord.”

Murong Qing nodded, and then Go Biqing got off and went to the landlord’s door and knocked. The landlord opened the door and saw Go Biqing’s things already on Murong Qing’s car and realized Go Biqing was leaving.

“You’re leaving, I suppose? These few days’ rent won’t count. We’ll just consider it as a month. That young lady waited for you for almost half an hour. She seems to like you quite a bit; make a move!” The landlord knew Go Biqing had come to pay for the couple of extra days he’d stayed after his lease expired.

Go Biqing was initially taken aback and then puzzled why Murong Qing had lied about just arriving, seeing as the landlord had no reason to lie to him.

“No, you’re overthinking; she’s just a regular friend, not what you think,” Go Biqing casually responded.

The landlord saw Go Biqing not admitting and acting oblivious, smiled, and said, “Alright, I was overthinking. Hurry up; she’s already waiting impatiently. These few days’ rent doesn’t need to count.”

Go Biqing knew his finances were tight now, and he couldn’t plan everything perfectly. He had to save some money for emergencies, so he smiled slightly at the landlord’s kindness and said, “Thank you. Sometimes we can grab some drinks together.”

“Sure, no problem. Go quickly,” the landlord said, smiling. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

Go Biqing turned and walked back to the car. Seeing the beautiful sedan, he already had his own thoughts. Murong Qing’s family was probably better off than his own before his downfall. How could she possibly like him? He should stop fantasizing; nowadays, not to mention getting married, he didn’t even dare think about dating. Modern girls are so realistic. He had no house, no car, not even savings. How could any girl be willing to follow him? He should focus on working and maybe hope to achieve something in the future. Otherwise, he might truly stay single forever.

After getting in the car, Murong Qing asked, “What did you talk about? You seem to get along well with the landlord.”

“Yes, the landlord is a good person. When I first moved here, I was feeling down, so I often drank with him. Were you just now…” Go Biqing started to say, but paused, realizing it wouldn’t be nice to confront someone over a small lie. Whatever her reason, it was at least kind-hearted, so better not to make everyone uncomfortable.

Murong Qing noticed Go Biqing hesitating and asked, “Just now what?”

“No, nothing. I wanted to ask if you have plans later? I need you to take me to my sister’s house; I want to handle her household registration today. Otherwise, once work starts, I’ll be busy,” Go Biqing changed the subject.

Murong Qing looked at him curiously but said, “No problem, I’ll take you.”
