Chapter 1061: Chapter 58: Moving Day

After finishing up, Li Mei said her goodbyes first. Go Biqing greeted the receptionist, who then informed the security guard. Only after getting approval from security did Go Biqing leave.

Today he could finally cancel his apartment lease, and his money drain could finally slow down a bit. However, Go Biqing was a bit troubled about how to move. Moving by himself would be a hassle, hiring a moving company seemed unnecessary as he had no large items, it seemed excessive to do it himself, and taking a taxi felt a bit wasteful to him, while taking the bus was even more troublesome.

Just as Go Biqing was worrying, his phone suddenly rang. It turned out Murong Qing was calling.

Murong Qing was calling to inquire about Go Biqing’s job situation. Hearing that his job was fine, Go Biqing suddenly remembered that Murong Qing had a car, and asking her for a favor wouldn’t be much trouble. At worst, he could treat her to a meal once he got paid.

Over the phone, Go Biqing asked Murong Qing, and she agreed without hesitation and seemed very happy. Go Biqing was puzzled why she seemed happier than him even though he was asking her for help. How 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 afar. It was surprising to see her so eager.

Go Biqing approached and said, "You didn’t have to be so eager. You’ve been here for quite a while, haven’t you? Your place isn’t far from here; it took me half an hour by bus."

Murong Qing laughed and said, "No, you have to understand we girls take time to get ready when going out. I haven’t been here long."

"Anyway, thank you. I’ll treat you to dinner when I get paid," Go Biqing said cheerfully after hearing her explanation. Murong Qing immediately replied, "Great, I’ll be waiting. By the way, how much is your salary?"

"My salary is eighteen hundred yuan a month. Why are you so interested?" Go Biqing said nonchalantly, aware that she already knew quite a lot about his affairs.

"It’s nothing, I’m just asking. If your salary is too low, how could I bear to take advantage of you?" Murong Qing replied with a glint in her eye.

Go Biqing could tell she wasn’t asking for that reason, but her effort to mask it was excellent, so he didn’t press further.

The two of them arrived at Go Biqing’s apartment door, and once inside, he started packing his luggage. Naturally, Murong Qing wouldn’t just stand and watch; she also helped him sort things out.

Once everything was packed, Go Biqing naturally couldn’t have Murong Qing, a girl, carry stuff downstairs for him, so he carried all the luggage himself.

Once downstairs, after loading his belongings into the car, Go Biqing got in and gave a long sigh. Despite not having a lot, it wasn’t a small amount either, and after running up and down, he felt a bit tired.

"Here, wipe your sweat and rest a bit before we head off," Murong Qing said, handing him a tissue.

Go Biqing took the tissue and said, "Thanks, I’ve really troubled you today."

"Aren’t we friends? If you keep thanking me, I won’t help you anymore," Murong Qing playfully said, pretending to be angry. Seeing Go Biqing hesitating to speak, Murong Qing asked, "What was that about earlier?"

"Nothing, nothing. I just wanted to ask if you’re busy later? Could you drop me off at my sister’s place? I want to handle the household registration today. Once I start working, I might not have the time," Go Biqing changed the subject.

Murong Qing, looking puzzled at him, still said, "It’s no problem. I’ll take you there."

Seeing Murong Qing’s response, Go Biqing smiled slightly, understanding her intentions were genuine. He didn’t dwell on it, but felt grateful, noting how few people were willing to help him when he was down and out. At least, Murong Qing handled everything well without showing pity or sympathy, knowing he was a bit sensitive at the moment.

After sitting in the air-conditioned car for a while, Go Biqing said, "Wait a moment, I need to go talk to the landlord."

Murong Qing nodded, and after Go Biqing got out of the car, he knocked on the landlord’s door. The landlord opened the door, saw Go Biqing’s belongings already in Murong Qing’s car, and realized Go Biqing was leaving.

"You’re leaving, right? Let’s not count these last few days of rent, just round it to a month. That girl was waiting for you for almost half an hour, and she seems to really like you, so you should make the most of it," the landlord said, knowing Go Biqing came to settle the rent for those extra days.

Go Biqing was momentarily stunned upon hearing this and couldn’t understand why Murong Qing had told him she just arrived, as the landlord had no reason to lie.

"Oh no, you’re overthinking it. She’s just an ordinary friend; it’s not what you’re imagining," Go Biqing casually said.

The landlord saw Go Biqing denying it, acting oblivious, and said with a smile, "Alright, maybe I’m overthinking it. You should go, others are waiting impatiently. As for the extra rent, just forget about it."

Go Biqing understood though his finances were tight, he couldn’t plan for everything. He needed to save some money for emergencies, so he smiled at the landlord’s generosity and said, "Thank you. Let’s go for a drink sometime."

"Sure, no problem, go quickly," the landlord said with a smile.

Turning towards the car, Go Biqing looked at the sleek sedan and realized Murong Qing’s family background might be even better than his before he fell on hard times. How could she be interested in him? He told himself not to dream. Not to mention marriage, he didn’t even dare to hope for dating. Girls nowadays are so realistic; without a house, a car, or any savings, no girl would willingly follow him. He should focus on work and look for better opportunities, hoping to build something for himself. Otherwise, he might just remain single for life.

After getting in the car, Murong Qing asked, "What did you talk about earlier? You seem to have a good relationship with the landlord."

"Yes, the landlord is a good person. When I first moved here, I was feeling down and would often have drinks with him. Were you earlier...?" Go Biqing started explaining, but then paused. Asking her directly would reveal her lie, and regardless of her reasons, it was kind of her, so he chose not to embarrass anyone.
