Chapter 18: Neat Misunderstanding

"No, is now the time to discuss this issue?"

Su Mu took the money and said angrily and funny: "Besides, it's as if you are not single."

"The opportunity to get out of singles is clearly right in front of you..."

Xia Ju beeped quietly.

"What did you say?"

Su Mu didn't hear clearly.

"I mean I don't have an ID card now, so I can't get a room even if I have money."

"It's okay, I have my ID card."

Su Mu smiled slightly and took out his ID card from his wallet and said, "I'll help you drive one night, and you can go to the household registration office to get a temporary ID card during the day tomorrow."

"I remember to ask for the household registration book when applying for that."

"Contact your family. Don't mention your current situation. Just say that you accidentally lost your ID card and ask them to send you your household registration book."

"No, no, no."

Xia Ju shook her head firmly and said: "They will definitely use this as a reason to come see me. I have rejected their requests to come over several times before. If I contact them, I will definitely not be able to run away."

This is not a lie to Sumu. If I contacted my family and told them that I needed a household registration book, my family would definitely take the earliest bus over the next day.

"Besides, they will definitely have to stay for a few days before leaving. I will definitely be exposed if I stay in a hotel."

This was a clever excuse to reject Su Mu, and it was also the only thing Xia Ju did not lie about so far.

"Then let's rent a house, if it's Ye Bai -"

"No, no, no, we can't let him know, even if he notices it. If he knows that you rented the house for me, it will definitely... in short, it will be very bad."

"Are you afraid that he will mistakenly think that you have something to do with me? Well, that guy knows my situation very well. It is really not a good idea to ask him about the house for no reason."

"That's not what I meant. It doesn't matter whether he misunderstood me or not."

In other words, misunderstanding is better, let the big mouth spread rumors more often, and it would be better to let other girls mistakenly think that Su Mu has a girlfriend before approaching Su Mu.

"I see."

After all, isn't it just a matter of face?

Sumu lit a cigarette again.

"I said, you have only been standing for a few minutes and you have already smoked your third cigarette. You are really not afraid of lung problems, are you?"

Xia Ju was a little unhappy and reached out to take away the cigarette.

“···”

Su Mu was stunned for a moment, a little confused, and took out another one.

"Even if your own body doesn't matter, just think about the people next to you, okay?"

As a result, Xia Ju took it down again.

"Okay, okay, I won't smoke anymore."

Su Mu originally wanted to say something, but thinking about Xia Ju's current situation, she might as well forget it. It would be bad if it hit her fragile heart and made her cry.

"Since you have said so many things and you have rejected several of my suggestions and said it is not feasible, then that's fine."

Su Mu put the lighter back into his pocket and said: "I'm not a very smart person, and I can't think of any constructive ways for a while, so tell me, do you have any good suggestions?

"

"No."

Xia Ju shook her head.

"Then I have the last resort. Come and live at my house first. You don't need an ID card or money. You don't have to worry about so many problems, but..."

Su Mu paused, glanced at Xia Ju and said, "The only difficulty is that I am a man and you are a woman, and the place I live in is less than fifty square meters."

“···”

Xia Ju felt that she had finally heard what she wanted to hear, but she always felt like a beggar, forcing Su Mu to accept her.

But that was not the case in the previous life. It was a more direct acceptance, rather than pursuing this only result because of a bunch of prerequisites.

"Oh. Forget it, I'll take you to my house to stay. I'll go out and get a room."

Su Mu swore that if it were any other person, no matter how beautiful the woman was, she would never meddle in others' affairs to this extent.

Just because the other party was Xia Ju, firstly, he would help if he could help her, and secondly, because he had felt ashamed of her in the past, Su Mu thought that after helping her this time, he would treat it as a return of favor.

"No no no."

Xia Ju shook her head like a rattle and said quickly: "How can I let you go out and leave the room to me?"

"Then can you accept being alone with me? Let's agree first. I won't be responsible for any negative impact it will have on you if word spreads."

Su Mu spread his hands.

"It doesn't matter. I believe you, you are a good person."

Xia Ju smiled.

"Good guy... OK, I'm the good guy. Come with me."

After being issued a good person card for the second time, Su Mu felt a little complicated.

But it makes sense if you think about it carefully.

At least I had absolutely no dirty thoughts in my heart. I was just helping her, letting her stay for a few days, and then going out to help her find a house and lending her money. That would be the end of the matter.

Um···

Looking at it this way, I am really a good person worthy of the name.

depressed.

Subconsciously, he wanted to touch his pocket to get a cigarette, but as soon as he put his hand in, he noticed that Xia Ju glanced at him, so Su Mu had to give up in frustration.

I really hope she can stand the strong smell of smoke in the room, a smell that even potted plants and fragrances can't cover up.

On the way home, Su Mu had a brief chat with Xia Ju and almost figured out the entire situation.

To sum it up, Xia Ju resigned from her original company, took her salary and kindly lent it to her roommate. The roommate was also extremely upright. After borrowing the money, he fled with Xia Ju's wallet and mobile phone the next night, leaving Xia Ju behind.

Orange is sleeping.

Then on the third day it was time to pay the rent, and I ran out of money, so I was kicked out.

One word of misery is not enough to describe her current situation.

After a while, Su Mu's apartment arrived.

This apartment was originally an old apartment, but the landlord renovated it a few years ago, so it still looks quite exquisite from the outside.

And because it is close to the pedestrian street, with hospitals and schools not far behind, transportation is convenient, and shopping is also convenient, so the housing prices have naturally increased accordingly.

Now it's just a room of less than 50 square meters, and Su Mu has to pay 6,000 a month to the landlord.

Of course, this was rented for half a year when Su Mu was still working in the company. Now that he is no longer working in the company, there is no need to live here. Su Mu also plans to wait for the rent to expire at the end of the month and find a cheaper house elsewhere.

.

"Here, slippers."

After entering the door, Su Mu casually handed Xia Ju's shoes.

"Thanks."

Xia Ju looked around the room while changing her shoes.

The clear smell of smoke came from her nose, which made her frown. She felt nostalgic, happy but uncomfortable. This experience could be called strange.

The curtains were half-opened, and the trash can was clean as if it had been emptied recently.

The ashtray on the computer desk was empty, with only a few newly thrown cigarette butts inside, and the computer screen seemed to have been wiped, shining brightly.

There are boxes, invoices, air conditioner remote controls and other things neatly placed on the coffee table.

The only untidy thing about this room was the quilt on the bed, which had been folded a few times and thrown into the corner.

···etc.

That's not right.

In my memory, Su Mu's room was not so tidy at the beginning. Could it be that a girl has been here recently?

Did someone get there first?

As soon as the thought came up, Xia Ju couldn't stop thinking about it no matter what.
