Chapter 75 Tenant

Lin Zhi was about to explain to him about the other party's lateness, but unexpectedly Gu Qingbei spoke first.

 "Are you hungry?"

 "Huh?" Lin Zhi didn't respond.

Gu Qingbei looked sideways and said warmly: "Didn't that person just say that he would arrive later? If you are hungry, we can eat something first."

"Did you hear everything?" Lin Zhi was a little helpless, "He did promise to arrive at six o'clock before, but I don't know why he was suddenly late."

 "It's okay." Gu Qingbei comforted her.

"Mr. Gu, if you have something to do, you can go back first. I'll just wait here."

Hearing this, Gu Qingbei was a little displeased, and his brows furrowed unconsciously. It's been so long, why do children always act cautious when talking to him?

"If you're not hungry, I'm a little hungry." Gu Qingbei simply ignored her question and walked past her towards the kitchen.

The refrigerator is very clean, and the only ingredients there are, except for a handful of noodles, vegetables and eggs, the rest are fruits and drinks.

"Can we eat noodles?" Gu Qingbei took off his coat and handed it to Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi took it blankly, not knowing why he suddenly became the cook.

 This seems to be her home...

 "Mr. Gu, let me do it."

"No need," Gu Qingbei rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong forearms, and naturally turned on the faucet and started washing the dishes, "Just help me take my coat to the living room, and then wait there for a while. It'll be quick."

 "Oh, okay."

 Lin Zhi followed his instructions and came to the living room, but she was a little restless.

He is her boss, and it is his first time to come to her house. Isn't it a little bad to let guests cook in the kitchen like this...

 Soon the sound of a fire coming from the kitchen was heard, followed by the sound of boiling water.

Gu Qingbei cooked quickly, and before Lin Zhi could think about it, he came to the living room with a bowl of noodle soup.

"You eat first and have a taste." He placed the bowl in front of Lin Zhi, "The ingredients are a bit simple, so I'll make do with it."

 "No, it looks good."

Lin Zhi said, taking a mouthful of noodles and putting it into her mouth. The taste was exactly as she said.

When she was at his house before, Lin Zhi knew that Gu Qingbei was a good cook. I just didn't expect that he could make a different taste with such simple ingredients.

 The soup is rich and the noodles are soft. It is indeed much more delicious than what she made before.

 "It's delicious."

Lin Zhi smiled at him, her beautiful peach blossom eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon, and there were a few drops of noodle soup on the corner of her mouth.

Gu Qingbei naturally stretched out his hand to wipe it off for her, and gently pulled the corner of his lower lip: "It's fine if you think it tastes good. There's still more in the pot."

Because of his sudden movement, Lin Zhi's cheeks instantly turned crimson and her ears felt hot.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Qingbei cautiously. Seeing that he looked calm and composed, she couldn't help but wonder if she had made too much of a fuss. She quickly lowered her eyes and drank several mouthfuls of soup before suppressing the ripples in her heart. .

The housekeeper finally arrived at seven o'clock. Lin Zhi had originally planned to let Gu Qingbei go back first, but when he opened the door, he suddenly ran into the man standing at the door.

The man was wearing a black jacket, black trousers, and a low peaked cap that covered most of his face. Just standing in the doorway, almost blending in with the darkness.

The chill on the man's body was overwhelming, and Lin Zhi stepped back inexplicably: "Are you the one who agreed to see the house?"

The man took a step forward: "Yes. Miss Lin, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Something happened on the way and I was delayed."

Through the light, Lin Zhi could clearly see the deep scar at the corner of his mouth, as well as the black backpack behind his back that was almost as high as his upper body.

 "Come in, the room is the first one on the left. Take a look."

Lin Zhi turned sideways to let him in, but Gu Qingbei suddenly stood in front of her, his tall figure appearing between her and the man, protecting her behind him.

The man who was about to walk in was obviously stunned when he saw Gu Qingbei: "Who is this?"

"Her friend." Gu Qingbei said. From the first moment he saw this man, he had a vague premonition.

 It's too gloomy, and it doesn't look like you're sincerely looking for a house.

Xia Xiyue's room was tidy, and the bathroom and kitchen were in obvious locations. Lin Zhi hardly needed any introduction, and he could see them by himself.

What Lin Zhi didn't expect was that the man who was originally very cheerful on the software and on the phone became grumbling after looking at the room.

First, they said the room was too small, then the bathroom was not ventilated, and the living room did not face the sun...

 Lin Zhi became angry for various reasons.

She had already explained all these details and pictures in her post before. Now that he decided to come and see the house, Lin Zhi assumed that these were acceptable to him. Is it too late to find fault now?

In addition, Lin Zhi was a little concerned about the man being late. Finally, when the man started to criticize the kitchen again, Lin Zhi interrupted him.

"Sir, all the questions you have raised have been mentioned in advance in my online posts, and I believe you have seen them before. Isn't it a bit too much to nitpick these details now?"

The man still wanted to defend, but was interrupted by Lin Zhi: "I think it's better to forget it. Since you don't like the house, and I don't want to rent it anymore, we'd better stop wasting each other's time."

 After saying that, Lin Zhi came to the living room and opened the door.

The man seemed to want to say something more, but since Gu Qingbei was present, he muttered a few words, glared at Lin Zhi fiercely, and left.

During the whole process, although Gu Qingbei stood next to Lin Zhi, he never spoke a word during the whole process.

 Having said that it was up to her to decide, he would not interfere.

In fact, even if she didn't say anything, Gu Qingbei would not agree to her renting the house to such a person. Fortunately, the child's decision did not disappoint him.

And taking this opportunity, Gu Qingbei saw a different side of the child for the first time. Her cheeks were bulging when she was angry, and she was inexplicably cute.

Until the man left, Lin Zhi was still a little angry. She sat on the sofa without saying a word and drank several mouthfuls of water in a row.

"Don't be angry," Gu Qingbei took her water cup and put it on the coffee table, comforting her in a warm voice, "This kind of person, even if you rent the house to him now, there will definitely be endless problems in the future. It's better to just start from the beginning. Don't rent it to him."

"Really, I just wasted your time, I feel a little sorry." Lin Zhi lowered his eyes, his voice was a little muffled.

"It's okay. I didn't have any other plans, and I also had dinner, so it's not a loss."
