Chapter 293 Being squeezed dry in various senses
In the next few days, it seemed that the days were back on the right track from 5 to 9.
Every morning when I returned home, I was greeted by sleepy crystals and breakfast. I wore an apron and carefully wiped my face and satisfied my girlfriend Fang Fangjingjing. Although it was only a week before, Yi Cheng was obviously already accustomed to this kind of life of "three people to live together". It seems that the two girls obviously did not show any objection to this.
It’s a pity that he still doesn’t have the courage to do anything.
Although Yi Cheng has been conducting the investigation of tenants quietly, there is no doubt that after learning about the identities of the four girls, the investigation has fallen into a bottleneck.
In fact, the atmosphere in the apartment seems to have become strange now.
Eliza, who exposed her identity as a vampire, now only Mao Lili occasionally contacts her. The detective girl seemed to have learned about Eliza's identity through some means before. Now, probably only she can face it calmly without fear and resistance due to the name "vampire".
"Bai Ze" Jiang Yuwei still stays in her room every day. Since she has suffered multiple physical and mental blows several times, the girl's sighs all day long can even penetrate the walls of Yi Cheng's house. It seems that, as she said, even if she is reinstated after the investigation is over, she may not be able to return to her position as a field savior.
"Sure enough, I'll just find someone to marry."
On this day, facing Yi Cheng and Shui Jing who came to visit him, Jiang Yuwei said such words again weakly.
"I actually had this idea for a long time, but what's the use of thinking alone? A useless person like me, who can't cook and have no formal jobs, can't even do housework well, hehe, he still can't get married."
For some reason, Yi Cheng always had the illusion of empathy when he heard this, and even had no idea how to comfort her from the angle.
However, next, Jiang Yuwei directly exposed Yi Cheng's intention.
"You are here to collect rent today, are you?"
“Uh yes.”
Well, as a temporary landlord, "collecting rent on time" is the task assigned to him by the landlord before leaving, and it is also the simplest one among many tasks.
However, it was not revealed until Yi Cheng actually started to execute, and there were really many difficulties in it.
First, the girl Yan Xiaoqian downstairs locked herself in the room almost all day recently. Yi Cheng knocked on the door several times, and even asked Shuijing and Fang Fang Jingjing to help, and they all returned in disgrace.
This timid girl was really scared last time. Even now, even Mao Lili, whom she once trusted the most, did not dare to get close to her anymore. The reason was that Yi Cheng accidentally called Mao Lili to "report the death of the banshee" in front of her.
"This child has been afraid of monsters and monsters since he was a child, but he turned out to be what he is now."
When talking to Yi Cheng about Yan Xiaoqian, Mao Lili was also quite helpless.
"As far as I know, this little girl doesn't even dare to look in a mirror."
In a sense, this is really a realistic version of "I'm even afraid of myself."
After removing the only option of "putting violence", Yi Cheng, who was helpless, had the second goal of urging rent, of course, was Eliza, a vampire girl living on the second floor.
As a result, when he proposed to pay the rent, Eliza's righteous sentence "How can the friendship of the proletariat be measured by money" was directly confused by Yi Cheng.
"Even the proletariat, you have to pay the rent."
"Hmph, I don't want to be with you, a big landlord and bourgeoisie who exploits the hard-earned money of the proletariat!"
In front of Yi Cheng, the girl who was disagreeing with her slammed the door and closed it directly, and then let Yi Cheng call her without saying a word.
Then Yi Cheng realized that this girl was actually not a proletarian vampire, but a proletarian miser!
Mao Lili happened to go out for business these days, so today, Yi Cheng naturally brought Crystal to visit Bai Ze and urged him to rent. As a result, after the girl directly identified his purpose, the next thing was to make Yi Chengyi's headache again.
"Let me tell you, the Savior's salary was also suspended during the suspension investigation."
"Um."
The crystal next to him actually echoed the voice seriously, for fear that Yi Cheng would not understand this point.
"After all, you are an old savior, don't you have any savings at hand?"
When Yi Cheng said this, he was really a little guilty about his current situation, which was actually not much better than the girl in front of him. Especially if the rent could not be collected, no one would be sure that the landlord would come back on the next day on the grounds that the travel expenses were insufficient, and then inhumanely urged him to rent.
Faced with Yi Cheng's tentative search, Jiang Yuwei pointed to the wardrobe filled with huddles and a dressing table filled with various mysterious potions.
"After all, I want to get married soon, so the expenses are actually very high."
So I think this is the reason why you can't get married!
In any case, the former field savior acted as if he was not afraid of boiling water. In desperation, Yi Cheng had to take Shuijing back to his room after comforting her for a few words.
"Acheng, you are back."
It is rare to stay at Yi Cheng's house during the day. Fang Fang, who was busy cleaning, greeted Yi Cheng with warm voice, and soon brought freshly squeezed juice to him and Shui Jing.
"It's really difficult."
When they closed the door, they were all their own people, Yi Cheng was not hesitant to complain to the crystal that was sipped in the cup and the busy Fang Fang.
"Is it easy for me to be a landlord? I can't even collect rent now."
"This is also impossible. Everyone has their own difficulties."
Hearing Yi Cheng's complaint, Fang Fang quietly went to the bathroom to wipe his hands, unbuttoned his apron, and sat thoughtfully beside Yi Cheng, putting his soft palm on his thighs.
"By the way, Acheng, I have something to tell you."
"Why?"
"We have to eat up all the rice and flour we bought before, and we will also add new ingredients to the refrigerator in the next few days."
"Ah, then what's wrong?"
Looking at his girlfriend who smiled and smiled, Yi Cheng suddenly had an extremely bad premonition.
And the premonition came true with the efficiency of lightning.
Fang Fangjingjing, smiling, spread his palms to Yicheng with a natural attitude.
"So, Acheng, I have no money anymore."
