Chapter 4: A place to stay,

To a certain extent, being Ling Chu's agent is not a bad thing

After Lin Tu confirmed the area he wanted to buy, he checked the balance of his salary card on the ATM.

Although the numbers inside are simply a drop in the debt she bears, they are enough for her to buy a small building with good location in a villa area with mountains and waters far away from Ling Chu.

Miss, look... we planned this area at that time...

The real estate agent kept telling her the advantages of the property she was interested in. This villa project developed by a real estate company owned by Mingjia three years ago has been sold out. The only house is from a gentleman who came to register two days ago who did not want to open his name. He hung up a price that was so cheap that it was a bit incredible.

Just it, you can pay in full today, when will it be convenient to sign a contract with the homeowner?

The agent was frightened by her attitude. Although he thought that the overall price of this villa was lower than the market average, he had attracted many people to come to see the house in the past two days, but he could pay the full amount today for several million yuan.

That, lady... He was a little unsure of Lin Tu's identity, and his title had been changed from a lady to a lady. I'm really embarrassed because it was a second-hand property for sale, so we need to make an appointment with the owner in advance and ask for his opinion.

It doesn't matter, just notify me if there is any news

Lin Tu didn't wait too long. But she found a small restaurant two streets away for lunch at the real estate agency. The agent called her

Hello, the property I took you to see today can be traded today, but the homeowner has three requirements, and you need to come here in person to make a promise.

good……

Lin Tu came back to the agency as promised. The other party had signed the contract in quadruple order and was sent by the secretary.

Turning to the end, the neat pen letters are written with three incredible requirements

1. The wine cellar is retained;

2. Take care of the garden;

3. Maintain a good and harmonious relationship with your neighbors

That's it?

right

The staff smiled and handed over the signature pen. Lin Tu signed his big name in the place reserved for the buyer.

The cumbersome and lengthy procedures for real estate handover have been handed over to the agency agent. Lin Tu didn't want to make trouble anymore. After paying the house payment almost willfully, he moved into his new home overnight.

The villa with an industrial decoration style that is so neat that there is almost no trace of life, through the overall color and furniture combination, it is not difficult to see that the owner here once should be a man

Lin Tu found out the contract, and the seller signed the name with a sloppy hand on her hand. She only recognized a vague Ming word.

Is it related to the Ming family?

She smiled in disgrace, comforting herself that the world should not be that small

She went to check the garden and wine cellar that she had been specially reminded. The wine in the wine cellar had been emptied, but the air still retained a rich fragrance.

The garden is a small courtyard that is just enough to be managed by one person. A small path and a seating area are paved with double-layer wooden boards in the middle.

Some flowers and plants were planted in the surrounding soil that she could not name. A swing-like hanging basket was set up next to the rest area, accompanied by a set of folded household folding sun umbrellas.

...This doesn't seem like a single man

Lin Tu couldn't help but care about the third article of the contract requirement, maintaining a good and harmonious relationship with his neighbors.

She ordered the freshest ingredients online and decided to do whatever she wanted the next day. Then she came to visit her neighbors in person with a meeting gift

Mingcheng was woken up by Lin Tu's doorbell ring

On working days without work, he used to sleeping until midnight. Thinking of the house sales contract he just signed out yesterday, his beautiful sleeping face also wrinkled up in distress.

This new neighbor doesn't look friendly at all

Get up lazy while yawning, and don't even bother changing your pajamas

Mingcheng stepped on the wooden floor with floor heating, and opened the visible access barrier on the wall

Lin Tu's small face appeared in his sight

What's up?

The lazy voice, with a little bit of the ignorance of the world

Lin Tu felt that the voice sounded familiar for no reason, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

Hello, I'm sorry to bother me. I just moved to Lintu next to your house yesterday. I prepared some food to visit. I hope there is no offense.

Ming Chengyan's belly was just right when tasting wine on an empty stomach last night. He yawned again in a daze, touched his stomach, and pressed the door key.

Please

Then, I'm in and disturbing

Lintu prepared a warm breakfast

When she entered the door and changed her shoes, she placed the meeting gift on the dining table not far from Mingcheng.

In the heated room, the man lying lazily on the rocking chair exposed his long and long legs from his nightgown. His arms were casually placed on the armrest of the chair, and the sun was shining on the front. The rocking chair was shaking spontaneously.

It has long hair, although the face cannot be seen, it gives people an artist-like aura

If nothing happens, I'll say goodbye first

Um……

The response from Xiaoyaoyao, Lin Tu even suspected that if she didn't speak, this strange neighbor would fall asleep directly.

Breakfast is just made, try to eat it while it's hot

ZZZZZZZ ……

Lin Tu had no choice but to politely exit the neighbor's house, and looked at his yard confused and worriedly.

What a bad partner

You can't pay all the money yourself, but you can't move away because you can't get along with your neighbors, right?

It was already an hour later when Mingcheng woke up

He stretched his body and stood up from the recliner, and saw that there was a breakfast served in Lintu's newly bought food box on the dining table. He was disgusted and wanted to pick them up and throw them away.

When you touch the food box with your hand, the food is still warm, but the placing of things inside is unexpectedly giving you appetite

Gu

His stomach screamed again

Ming Cheng tilted his head, and finally decided to open the food box and open his mouth

...More unexpected, the taste is pretty good

…Well, by the way, there is a food box in the house I am currently staying for…Yes… The newly moved next door said a gift for me…I remember to wash the one and return it when I arranged for someone to clean up.

Ming Cheng lazily clamped the phone and told the butler what he had done next

He recalled the taste that made people miss it, and added a sentence like a snake, which could also convey to her that she could come and visit her frequently and bring her food when she has time.

……

The day after Lin Tu left, Ling Chu was so in a state of mind that he wanted to catch the craziness.

Where is Lintu? Who can contact Lintu? Let her get back to me as soon as possible

Lin Qicai, who was driving, ignored his young master's temper. He agreed to leave for seven days, and he would never be able to let Ling Chu break his promise.

There is also a program recording at 11 o'clock, and Lintu has been fighting for a long time

Don't go

Ling Chu hugged his arms in the back seat of the car, turned his head and looked out the window

Tell her when will she come back and when will I work

...God

Lin Qi has a very urge to hold his forehead

Ling Chu really understands where Lin Tu's Qi Cun is. If Ling Chu suddenly announces that he doesn't want to be an idol one day, Lin Qi is very suspicious that Lin Tu will directly solve him.

He originally didn't have to worry about Ling Chu's young master's temper. Whether or not he participated in the program would not have any impact on the ACE company. However, after imagining the scene of Lin Tu who was on strike for seven days, Lin Qi felt that he should have a good chat with Ling Chu.

Master Ling, is there anything that Lin Tu can do but I can’t do?

……

Ling Chu's face instantly turned from his neck to his ears

What are you asking about this?!

Want to know the reason for your strike

Do you care?!

Unfortunately, I'm responsible for your work this week

He actually blushed... Lin Qi glanced at Ling Chu's reaction in the rearview mirror. Did something happen between him and Lin Tu?

Lin Qi was a little worried about Lin Tu for no reason. The young masters raised in the Ling family have never had a bottom line when bullying people.

But why did she never mention a single word?

Otherwise, I would call her today and talk to her about work in private

Unfortunately, Lin Qi's phone number was not reached

Lin Tu took out the phone card from his phone willfully, isolated himself from the world, and began to clean up the house and garden left by his ex-owner.

The overall decoration style of the previous room was too tough, but the redecoration was too drastic

Lin Tu thought for a long time and finally decided to settle for the second best, changing the colors of the walls and floors, and receiving all the too masculine soft furnishings into the empty room on the second floor, and then entrusting the moving company to arrange the newly purchased warm-toned decorations that are more suitable for women.

Next to the hanging basket in the garden, she added a small round table that can hold books and tea cups, and supported the sun umbrella. In the afternoon, she lay in the garden, drinking hot tea and blowing the wind, Lin Tu covered her small blanket and squinted her eyes, feeling that this is the life that can be called life.

She doesn't have to receive a messy call from Ling Chu in the middle of the night, and she doesn't have to be half-forced and half-threatened by a man to bear sexual matters that she is not so passionate about. She is free and safe in this small house.

The only thing she cares about is that weird neighbor

He didn't appear here often, Lintu took a full seven days off, and even saw the first visit.

Afterwards, it seemed that the neighbor's housekeeper asked someone to bring back the food box she sent, which was cleaned. I don't know if the things originally contained in it were eaten or dumped.

The head of the family seems to welcome Ms. Lin to visit

The servant who said such words made Lin Tu feel that it was just a polite word no matter how he listened to it.

But since they can achieve superficial harmony, why should she expose this kind of lie with silence?

Thank you for your family's invitation

The response to her was a decent and polite smile. It made people notice the origin of the neighbor's house at first glance. He was a person who was completely different from her.

On the sixth day of Lintu's vacation, the small western-style building next door lit up again

At that time, she was weeding in the yard. After a sensation of autumn rain, the weeds that should have withered grew tenaciously again.

She wore gloves and tied her legs, and was like a flower farmer fighting against the immortal weeds in the small garden on the first floor. Not far away, the terrace door on the second floor next door was opened from the inside.

A vague long-haired figure holding a wine glass, leaning against the railing with interest, looking at her from top to bottom

What are you going to eat today?

The man's voice was obviously more awake than the last time he met, and was younger than he thought. When it reached Lintu's ears, it almost thought that she was listening.

She stood up straight and wiped the sweat beads on her forehead. At this distance, she might have to use some strength to convey the sound to the opposite side. What do you want to eat?

A slightly weird response

hot pot

The opposite side actually ordered the dishes with shameless words

Then, when Lin Tu came to visit with fresh ingredients delivered to her door, she even wondered if her mind was blown away by today's autumn wind.

Mingcheng was still barefoot, tied his hair, and wore a loose casual outfit

White T-shirt without brand markings, light brown pants, designers artificially reserved a few threads of thread that only had after being worn out, which made Mingcheng look casual

Also...a little too casual

This time Lin Tu finally saw his face clearly. He looked very beautiful next door, and he had a little unspeakable familiarity.

Logically speaking, she should not forget her appearance if she has seen such a beautiful person once, but no matter how she associates her, she can't completely match Mingcheng with the person in her memory.

Do you have a pot at home?

Mingcheng tilted his head in confusion, no

……

Lintu was desperate. Did she really doubt this person's ability to live independently?

Don't mind if I go home to pick it up?

Don't mind Mingcheng smiled brightly, bent his eyes and showed a row of neat white teeth

Lin Tu's heart jumped inexplicably, his ears were hot, and his cheeks were red.

...No, it's too foul

Lin Tu hid back to his home as if he was running away with his chest. He was worried and took out the contract and looked at it.

Ming... the word behind is still unrecognizable

She tried hard to recall the scene when she met the only Ming family. He was completely immersed in the darkness of the office backlight, only half of the body that was slanted from her shoulders shone in the sun, and she couldn't see her face clearly.

Is it someone with connections?

She packed her full set of tools hard and appeared in Mingcheng's family again like a conscientious chef.

Haven't asked for advice yet, what do you call it?

Xiao Ming

Mingcheng didn't even think about it, and reported a name that would definitely make you laugh.

Lin Tu's expression was a bit strange, but she was embarrassed to speak directly. How to write it?

Sun and Moon Bright Mingcheng looked at her seriously, his eyes focused, and there was no trace of impurities inside

Lin Tu felt that his brain was almost unable to think. This man was even more terrifying than Ling Chu... He seemed to be sending a trapping signal to the surroundings unconsciously, making people unable to be alert and unprepared, and could only surrender willingly.

I'll prepare the ingredients, you can choose what base you like first...

Mingcheng looked through the things Lin Tu brought without any objection, and then saw her skillfully put down the thin chopping board and began to process different ingredients.

Are you good at cooking?

Mingcheng stood beside her with his arms in his arms, and had no intention of helping her at all.

Lin Tu didn't expect him to really take action. She had seen his hand, and her fingers were not touched by the spring water. It was a pair of hands that were completely free from the poor people.

She turned away some broken hair in her ears, and she lowered her head and cut vegetables very seriously and focused.

Practice makes perfect

oh

Mingcheng nodded thoughtfully, the man had returned to his rocking chair, shaking leisurely

OK Call me

……

When the aroma of the hot pot base spreads in Mingcheng's villa, the man on the rocking chair finally had a reaction that could be called a normal person.

He rubbed his stomach and still swayed to Lin Tu with sleepy eyes. When can he eat it?

The ingredients have been completely processed. Although the portions are not large, they are filled with a whole table in different categories.

Lin Tu moved his tired body for a moment and asked him, "Do you have any tableware?"

A few question marks appeared in Mingcheng's eyes, and he shook his head sincerely, not knowing

Very good... If there is no dining utensil, the last meeting gift I brought may have really entered the trash can

Lin Tu sighed helplessly and found two sets of tableware that were obviously female in aesthetics from the things she brought with her.

Will you just give it a moment?

Mingcheng took it without comment, new?

New

He finally sat cross-legged on a chair that was obviously larger, looking at the soup pot with bubbles in front of him.

I'll do it...

Lin Tu thinks she may really have a nanny life. When Ling Chu's affairs come to an end, she may consider finding a nanny job to take care of the elderly and widowed.

Um……

After the first bite of food, Mingcheng narrowed his eyes with satisfaction

What you make is very homey

Lin Tu's eyes flashed for no reason, she smiled like a self-deprecatingly without saying a word

Home?

But she has no home at all
