While speaking casually, Lu Chen tied the belt back on.
Suddenly, his voice turned cold: "I'm telling you, don't bully my sister again. Otherwise, I'll break your legs next time. You should believe that I'm definitely capable of doing that!"
The hooligans nodded repeatedly. How could they dare to argue?
"Get lost!" Lu Chen roared loudly.
Then, those hooligans scrambled away.
Lu Chen smiled smugly. After all, he came from a martial arts family. Although his skills weren't that refined, it was still okay for him to beat up a few hooligans. Then he felt a bit downcast as he thought that on that night, he could only run for his life and leave behind the girl he had just met but who had given him everything.
The young girl stared at Lu Chen stupidly for a while. There was an air of youthful innocence in her beautiful eyes. Suddenly, her face turned bright red, and she timidly stretched out a small hand towards Lu Chen: "Brother, hello. My name is..."
"Your name is Gong Xiaoyi." Lu Chen smiled. "I know you. I'm your brother's brother, so you're like my sister too. Let's play together in the future. Bye."
With that, he didn't shake Gong Xiaoyi's hand but just gently patted her on the head, then turned around and walked away.
Gong Xiaoyi watched his back, and strange ripples stirred in her heart. She wondered if this was what it felt like to have a first love. Just as she was feeling flustered, she suddenly saw Lu Chen walking back and stuffing five one-hundred-yuan bills into her hand.
"Er, since it's the first time I'm meeting my sister, I should give you some lucky money. Go buy some candies."
"Hey, I... I don't want your money! By the way, I still don't know your name. What's your name... Hello! Hello!" Gong Xiaoyi muttered with her head down. When she looked up, she saw that the figure had already walked far away.
Walking on the street, Lu Chen was also a bit confused for a while. Just a few days ago, he was still a young master from a noble family, but now he felt like he was living on the streets. Moreover, he originally had 9,300 yuan on him. After giving 8,000 yuan to Gong Jiu for nutritional supplements and 500 yuan to Gong Xiaoyi as lucky money, he only had a little over 800 yuan left!
However, he waved his hand and quickly drove away the confusion.
"What's there to be afraid of? Although it's said that a penny can stump a hero, but all things in their being are good for something. What do I have to worry about? First, find a hotel to stay in for one night, and then rent a house and look for a job."
Lu Chen set a goal for himself and then found a hotel that cost 80 yuan per night to stay in for the night. He planned to rent a house the next day.
Although he was new to this city and didn't know anyone, fortunately, there was the Internet. After checking 58.com and Ant Short-Term Rental, Lu Chen locked onto a good place. In a middle-class community in the east of the city, the owner of a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment wanted to rent out one of the rooms for 550 yuan. After comparing it with other options, it had the highest cost-performance ratio, so Lu Chen went there happily.
Although the owner had clearly stated that only female tenants were wanted and men were not welcome, but also said that it would be best if the tenant could cook. If the tenant could cook, the owner would provide three free meals. Although Lu Chen used to be a playboy, cooking was also one of his hobbies. His cooking skills were average, but it should be no problem for him to handle ordinary home-cooked meals.
Moreover, Lu Chen had a strange feeling that whenever cooking was mentioned, a powerful energy inside his body seemed to be stirring restlessly, as if it was about to burst out from somewhere.
And that energy was one of the seven energies formed after the Seven Life Flowers were transferred from Shangguan Wan to his body that day. This made Lu Chen a bit shocked. Damn, what were the seven kinds of lives that had been taken to the extreme? Could one of them be cooking? Becoming a master chef? Was it a joke? Could being a master chef dominate the world?
If that was really the case, Lu Chen was a bit disappointed. However, weren't there still six other energies that hadn't been activated yet?
It wouldn't be bad to be a master chef. After all, how high the salaries of the head chefs in five-star hotels were nowadays!
Standing in front of the future landlord's door, Lu Chen reached out and knocked on it.
The door opened, and in an instant, Lu Chen was stunned.
She was definitely a beauty! Judging by sight, she was over 1.65 meters tall, and her bust was estimated to be over 36 inches. Her face had a strong sense of cold elegance, both repelling people thousands of miles away and attracting them like moths to a flame.
She was between 26 and 27 years old, and judging by her demeanor, she was already at the level of a young married woman.
Well, a young girl's figure wouldn't be that enchanting.
Lu Chen suddenly felt his heart stir. How nice it would be if this beautiful young married woman didn't have a husband.
What a wonderful encounter, what a wonderful affair, what a wonderful life.
"Hi, are you Dong Qingqing? I'm here to rent the room. I..."
"Sorry, I don't rent to male tenants. I wrote it clearly in the notice."
"No, I..."
Bang!
"Ouch, my head!"
