A life of success begins with being a landlord.

"Don't worry, it'll be over soon!"

I rushed to the bathroom, soaked a towel in water, and ran back to wipe Chunyan's face.

After changing the water repeatedly and wiping her down three times, Chunyan's breathing calmed down, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

This cartilage powder is too strong; I can't use it carelessly next time.

"Brother Wang, I feel much better now."

Chunyan lay flat on the sofa and slightly raised her hand: "I just need to rest for a while."

I looked down and noticed that one of the buttons on Chunyan's dress was undone, revealing her snow-white skin, as smooth as a cotton ball. It must have accidentally come undone when I was carrying Chunyan and running.

"Chunyan, your clothes... are undone."

I was too embarrassed to look, and my eyes darted around.

"Brother Wang, I'm weak in my hands, could you help me... by tapping them?"

Chunyan's face turned red. She raised her hand, but then put it down weakly.

I had no choice but to bend down and, trembling, straighten Chunyan's clothes.

The more I trembled, the harder it was to fasten the buttons, leaving me drenched in sweat.

Chunyan closed her eyes, her expression a half-smile.

"Yaozu, what are you doing?"

With a click, the door opened, and Sister Li stared at me in astonishment.

"Sister Li?"

I was startled and straightened up.

Sister Li walked over and saw Chunyan on the sofa. Her expression immediately changed drastically: "Wang Yaozu, you...you...how did you bring this girl home?"

At this moment, Chunyan's clothes were not yet tidied up.

"Sister Li, it's not like that, listen to me..."

My face burned, and I stammered, "This...this was an accident. Chunyan...she suddenly fell ill, and I treated her. Yes, treated her."

"You can treat patients? You can even be a doctor? When did you learn that?"

The scene before me left me speechless, and Sister Li absolutely refused to believe it: "You can date, but you can't be so reckless! This girl... she's a poor girl from the countryside, how could you be so... absurd!"

I simply stopped talking.

Sister Li shook her head and reached out to help Chunyan up: "Little girl, get up first."

The limp swallow finally sat up, her face flushed, and said, "Sister Landlady, just now... it's not Brother Wang's fault, it was my own fault... I suddenly fainted and had no strength left."

I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Sister Li.

Sister Li turned to look at me, still incredulous: "What... what happened? This girl was in trouble, and you rescued her?"

"Yes, she suddenly fell down, so I... brought her back to check on her."

I explained following Sister Li's words.

Because I don't want to talk about the cartilage powder right now.

Even now, Chunyan doesn't know why she suddenly felt weak. She even tried to explain for me, saying, "Landlady, Brother Wang is a good person. He didn't, he didn't do anything to me. Luckily, he saved me, and I'm much better now..."

"That scared me to death. I thought Wang Yaozu had lost his temper and was being too forceful... Never mind."

Sister Li was relieved and put down her handbag: "Are you really alright? Should we go to the hospital?"

"No need to go, she's already better."

I wiped my sweat and helped Chunyan up: "Chunyan, get up and walk around a bit to see if you can walk around properly..."

Chunyan nodded, and with my help, she stood up and walked slowly.

"How are you? Can you walk?" I asked.

"Take it slow, it should work."

Chunyan looked at me and said, "Brother Wang, could you... take me home?"

"I send you."

Of course I had to see Chunyan off. I was worried about her climbing up to the sixth floor by herself.

Sister Li stared at us, then suddenly smiled and said, "Go on, go on, take this girl back and take good care of her."

I gave an awkward smile and escorted Chunyan out the door.

When we went downstairs, Chunyan walked very slowly, holding onto me with one hand and the stair railing with the other.

"Chunyan, if you're feeling weak, stop and rest for a while, or I'll carry you on my back."

"It's alright, let's rest downstairs for a while longer."

Chunyan shook her head and walked down step by step.

It took me about three or four minutes to walk from the third floor to the first floor.

Stepping out of the building, the night breeze was refreshing.

Chunyan stretched her arms and legs, smiled at me, and said, "I feel much better."

I helped Chunyan sit in front of Lao Zhou's shop for a while: "Take a rest, get some fresh air before you go up."

The karaoke bar was open, and a young man was singing passionately into the microphone: "Are you doing well in that foreign land? Are there tears in your eyes? Are you doing well in that foreign land...?"

She sang quite well and was very captivating.

Chunyan suddenly asked me, "Brother Wang, can you sing? Why don't you sing a song for me?"

I laughed and shook my head: "I'm not a good singer. But... I'll treat you to karaoke tomorrow. Tonight... you got the short end of the stick."

I'm so sorry to Chunyan tonight, I've caused such a big misunderstanding.

If something like this happened back home, the girl's parents would break my legs.

"Okay, let's go sing karaoke tomorrow."

Chunyan cheered up again: "Alright, I can go home now."

I was still worried, so I insisted on seeing her off. I escorted Chunyan to the door of room 604 and watched as her father, Lao Xia, opened the door.

"Where were you having fun? Why are you only just getting back?"

When Lao Xia saw me, he rubbed his hands together and smiled, "Have you guys... eaten yet?"

"I wasn't joking, I was helping Brother Wang clean..."

Chunyan spoke up quickly: "I've already eaten. Brother Wang treated me to dinner."

Old Xia nodded, then gave me a fawning smile: "Boss, please take care of me from now on."

"I know."

I looked at Chunyan: "Chunyan, you should go to sleep early. Tomorrow... continue helping me with the work."

Today I only cleaned the stairwell. There are still countless little graffiti on the stairwell walls that I haven't cleaned, and the rooftop also needs cleaning.

If Chunyan helps me, it will make things easier for me.

Chunyan is currently unemployed, but earning twenty yuan a day is not bad.

"Okay, Brother Wang, I'll help you with the work tomorrow." Chunyan nodded, then added, "And I'll leave the ID card matter to you..."

"It's okay, I'll talk to Sister Li when I get back."

I waved goodbye and hurried downstairs.

In room 302, Sister Li sat upright, clearly waiting for me.

"Sister Li..." I stammered, not knowing what to say.

"You little rascal, you're always up to no good and you're even stealing bran. See if you dare pretend to be serious again!"

Suddenly, Sister Li stood up and grabbed my ear: "Tell me the truth, you and that girl, weren't you sleeping on my sofa? When I came back, you had just finished, right? Having fun, huh?"

"No, Sister Li, let go of my ears..."

I forced a smile and pleaded, "It's not like that. Chunyan suddenly fell ill, so I brought her back... to rest a bit."

"Yes, you and Chunyan should rest for a while. I wasn't wrong."

Sister Li grabbed my ear and wouldn't let go: "You're still not going to confess? If you don't confess, I'll pull down your pants and check."

I panicked and grabbed my belt: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, just let go."

Sister Li chuckled and released my ears.

I rubbed my ears and pulled out the 1,500 yuan: "This is the rent for room 505. I'm taking it back."

"You really got the rent for room 505 back?"

Sister Li was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Well done, kid! How did you manage to get it back? Those bastards didn't give you any trouble and just handed over the money obediently?"
