Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

"Hey! You've finally shown your face! I haven't seen you for days, where have you been enjoying yourself?"

Zhou Feng was squatting under the tap in the yard brushing his teeth, his mouth still full of foam, when he heard Bai Ling's teasing voice behind him.

He turned his head and saw the girl leaning against the wall, raising her eyebrows at him!

"Hey Bai Ling," Zhou Feng rinsed his mouth, "you wouldn't be staking out my place all day, would you? Is the Municipal Public Security Bureau that free? How come I always run into you the moment I step out of my house?"

These words made Bai Ling frown slightly.

When she first moved into the courtyard house, she did intentionally try to meet and talk to Zhou Feng so that she could get closer to him in a natural way.

However, after spending some time together, the two became quite familiar with each other.

Although the level of protection for Zhou Feng has not been lowered, the stage of creating chance encounters in this way is long over.

This time, Zhou Feng returned to his parents' home in the modern world for a short stay and never appeared in the courtyard house.

They just take turns keeping watch, unlike when Zhou Feng disappeared.

After all, the other party already has a lot of ties with this world, so there's a high chance they won't be gone forever.

So this morning, Bai Ling was just going out to wash up as usual, with her towel and soap in her hand, when she just happened to run into them.

"Can you please stop trying to make yourself look good?"

Bai Ling also turned on the tap, rinsing the enamel basin with a splash. "We're neighbors, so naturally you'll only see me when I'm off work. When our city bureau gets busy, we don't even have time for a hot meal!"

Zhou Feng chuckled and wiped the water droplets from his face: "Comrade Bai Ling, could you do me a favor?"

"What is it?"

"Could you help me find a room? It doesn't need to be too big, just somewhere nearby!"

Zhou Feng had considered renting a place earlier, wanting to store the supplies he brought from there in a separate location.

Unfortunately, renting a house these days is too troublesome, as all private rental properties are managed and operated by the housing management department.

Therefore, if Zhou Feng wants to rent a house, he not only has to go to the housing management bureau, but also submit a series of applications and undergo strict qualification review.

They immediately persuaded Zhou Feng to return.

Now that he and Bai Ling have a good relationship, it's easier for him to bring this up.

If Bai Ling, who works at the Municipal Bureau, were to step in, renting the house would be a piece of cake.

Once we rent this house, we'll have a place to store the supplies we bring from there.

The rice he brought last time is still in the kitchen. If he takes out the things he bought this time, his little house will probably be too cramped to move around in.

Moreover, although the previous report turned out to be a misunderstanding, and the steel mill's security department wouldn't bother him for the time being, and he has now officially joined the company as a purchasing agent, there are still some risks involved.

Moreover, to transport the materials purchased from the steel rolling mill, it would definitely be necessary to use the factory's drivers.

If you drive to this courtyard to pick up your goods, it would be too conspicuous!

"Renting a place?" Bai Ling stopped brushing her teeth, raised an eyebrow at him, and asked, "You're moving out?"

The security measures in this area were only recently completed, and if Zhou Feng moves away, they will have to redeploy them.

However, it would be much easier if we could help him rent a location that had already been pre-planned.

While Bai Ling was still pondering this, Zhou Feng curled his lip.

"Why move? This courtyard is so lively, everyone here is so talented and speaks so kindly. I love living here!"

"I have other uses for renting this place. Could you do me a favor and come over for dinner later? I'll prepare some fresh food for you, something you've never tried before!"

Zhou Feng, with a familiar smile, moved closer to Bai Ling.

The latter gave a cold snort without expression, but slightly pursed the corners of his mouth.

"I'll try to find out for you, but don't get your hopes up too high."

"Alright! Hurry up and wash up, then come have breakfast here!"

Zhou Feng tossed the towel over his shoulder and walked back happily.
