Qin Yuhan was gone, but life had to go on.
Today was the day Meng Qiping was moving. Although Fatty said he didn't need help, Li Dong still came.
Meng Qiping's rented house was next to Jiangzhou University. It was a red brick building.
Meng Qiping and Fatty carried their suitcases to the second floor. When Meng Qiping opened the door, a faint moldy smell came from the house.
This was the disadvantage of old houses. If the ventilation was not good, the smell would not go away no matter how they cleaned it.
Meng Qiping said awkwardly, "Can't help it. My ability is limited."
Li Dong patted his shoulder and didn't say anything.
After entering the house, Li Dong took a quick look. The house was not big, with one bedroom and one living room.
There was no kitchen in the house, so the landlord built a stove by the corridor to serve as a small kitchen.
Moreover, the ventilation and lighting in the room were not good. The only bright spot was the freshly painted walls. The clean white walls made the room brighter.
Seeing Li Dong staring at the wall, Meng Qiping smiled and said, "This wall was suggested by us and the landlord. We waited for the wall to dry two days ago. Otherwise, we would have moved in a long time ago."
"Not bad. It's quite quiet." Li Dong nodded.
"Yes, Nannan and I liked the quietness here. Besides, there's no one else on the second floor. The room next to us is used as a storeroom by the landlord. "
Seeing Meng Qiping's perverted smile, Li Dong couldn't help but scold him with a smile, "You two are really noisy. You even found an empty place to stay."
Meng Qiping smiled and didn't deny it.
As they were talking, Cheng Nan also came.
Cheng Nan was accompanied by her roommates. Girls were always more emotional than boys. Li Dong saw that some of the girls' eyes were still a little red.
Seeing Li Dong was also there, Cheng Nan smiled and said, "I told you I don't need your help. Why are you here?"
Li Dong raised his eyebrows and smiled. "From what you said, it seems like I'm not welcome here?"
"Of course not!"
Cheng Nan also smiled and said, "My place can't compare to yours. I'm just worried that you won't be used to it."
Although that was what she said, one could tell from her expression that Cheng Nan was very satisfied with this place.
Before Li Dong could speak, Li Wan said in surprise, "Is Li Dong also renting a house outside?"
Because Li Dong was usually too low-key, he almost had no presence in the class. Other than 351 and a few others, almost no one knew that he was no longer living in the dormitory.
Cheng Nan giggled and said, "He's renting Wan Yuan's house. It has two bedrooms and two living rooms. I'm drooling just by looking at it."
"Wan Yuan? Is it the Wanyuan District in front? I heard that the rent there is very expensive. Li Dong is actually renting a house there? "
"He's rich. If I had known earlier, I would have dated him. Now I can live in Wanyuan."
"…"
Li Dong didn't say anything. Seeing the girls talking about him as if no one else was around, Li Dong couldn't help but cough dryly.
The person in question is right here. Can you guys watch your words?
Zhao Tingting, who had just said that she wanted to date Li Dong, giggled and said, "Li Dong, do you have a girlfriend? If not, let's get together. I also want to live in a big house. "
Li Dong knew that she was joking. He smiled and didn't say anything.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the girls became more unscrupulous.
Li Wan jeered, "Li Dong, Tingting likes to snore when she sleeps. Let's talk. I promise I won't snore."
"Li Wan, I'm going to kill you! You only snore when you sleep. How dare you ruin my image! "Zhao Tingting was flustered and exasperated. She went up to tickle Li Wan.
Li Wan hurriedly resisted, and the two suddenly became a mess.
Li Dong saw that they were making a lot of noise. In addition, the room was too small and crowded, so he said, "Fatty and I will go out for a walk. I won't help you clean up."
"Oh, don't be shy. A pure boy. I like it." Zhao Tingting let go of Li Wan and began to tease Li Dong.
Li Dong rolled his eyes. He didn't say anything and pulled Meng Qiping out of the room.
…
The two walked to the entrance of the corridor. Meng Qiping joked, "Zhao Tingting is quite good-looking. Why don't you consider her? Sister-in-law isn't here anyway."
Li Dong glared at him and didn't say anything. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.
Meng Qiping suddenly said, "Give me one too."
Li Dong was surprised and asked, "You started smoking?"
Meng Qiping shook his head, then nodded and sighed, "I'm too stressed. I want to see if smoking can relieve it."
Li Dong didn't say anything and handed him a cigarette.
Meng Qiping lit it and clumsily took a puff. He coughed for a while before stopping.
Then he fell into silence. After a while, Meng Qiping said in a low voice, "Brother Dong, can I ask you a favor?"
"Say it. What is it?"
Meng Qiping found it difficult to speak. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I know you have a company outside and know a lot of people. Can you help me find a suitable part-time job?"
Li Dong glanced at him. "This guy is usually so lazy. Now he wants to find something to do?"
He was not surprised that Meng Qiping knew he had a company. He asked, "Why? Are you short of money again? "
It had only been two months since he lent Meng Qiping 5,000 yuan. He didn't ask for the 1,000 yuan he won from Chen Fang at the sports meet. 6,000 yuan. Meng Qiping was short of money again in two months.
Besides, he had his own living expenses. His expenses were more than Li Dong's.
Meng Qiping looked embarrassed and said with a wry smile, "I could get by, but now I'm renting a house. Besides, I haven't paid you back the money I owe you. I can't keep dragging on."
"I also looked for a part-time job outside, but the tutor didn't want me. I'm not cut out for manual labor. So I have to ask you for help."
The fatty felt wronged. He was a top student of the University of Jianghai, but no one wanted him to be a tutor. It was unreasonable.
Li Dong wanted to laugh when he heard that. He said impatiently, "You're lazy and fat. Of course they don't want you."
He asked again, "You and Cheng Nan are together. Are you the one who pays for it?"
Meng Qiping looked embarrassed. He said in a low voice, "Nannan's family situation isn't good. Her father passed away early. Her mother works as a farmer and has to take care of her brother who is in high school. Do you think I'll let her pay for my daily expenses?"
He paused and laughed dryly. "Also, I told her that my family is rich. I'm a rich second generation. Three or five thousand yuan is nothing to me."
Li Dong almost spat out his saliva. "This guy is too much!"
Speaking of this, Li Dong seemed to have thought of something. He asked in a low voice, "You didn't lie to her that you're a rich second generation, did you?"
Meng Qiping quickly shook his head and explained, "I only told her that after I talked to her. At first, she had to pay for half of the food and drinks. Later, I found out about her family situation, so I found an excuse not to let her pay."
Li Dong understood. This guy was a male chauvinist.
However, Cheng Nan's family situation was not good. As a man, it was understandable for Meng Qiping to do so.
Li Dong thought for a moment. Since the fatty had come to him, it would not be good to reject him.
Moreover, it was not a big deal. He said, "I'll keep an eye out for part-time jobs. I'll let you know when I find one."
Meng Qiping nodded. Hearing Cheng Nan calling him, he quickly threw the cigarette butt and entered the house.
