A life of success begins with being a landlord.

The tenant of room 404?

I remembered, and let go of his hand: "Kuai Dafeng, right?"

I had seen this name in the ledger, and because the surname "Kuai" is not common, it left a deep impression on me.

The day before yesterday, Sister Li took me on a tour of the building and deliberately tested me by asking if I recognized the character "蒯".

I said I knew him. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there was a man named Kuai under Liu Biao of Jiangdong. This surprised Sister Li, who kept praising me as a high achiever.

However, when I was patrolling the building the day before yesterday, Kuai Dafa wasn't home; it was the first time I'd seen him.

"Ah, you're the little fox's brother? You know me?"

The fat man was also surprised; his tone softened considerably, and his arrogance vanished.

"Your rent is due the day after tomorrow, so get your money ready."

I glared at Kuai Dafa and took Chunyan downstairs.

Hey bro!

Kuai Dafa called out to me, chuckling, "Chunyan is dating you? Have you slept together yet?"

I glared at him: "What's it to you? Watch your mouth!"

Chunyan clung to my arm: "Brother Wang and I have been dating for a long time, Boss Kuai, don't come to my house anymore, I don't want to see you!"

There seems to be a story here that I don't know about?

My heart sank.

"What are you so vain about, you little slut? You're not the only woman in the world."

Kuai Dafa waved his hand and went upstairs cursing, "I'm rich. I can change three girls like you every night!"

"What the hell are you spouting, Kuai Dafa? Stop right there!"

I was furious and was about to chase after that fatso and teach him a lesson.

"Brother Wang, stop fighting!"

Chunyan clung to me tightly: "I'll tell you later..."

Kuai Dafa glanced back at me, then quickened his pace and ran off.

I was in a bad mood, so I shook off Chunyan's hand and hurried downstairs.

"Brother Wang, please listen to me..."

Chunyan caught up with me and grabbed my hand: "I hate this fatso too. I'll tell you when we get to your place later."

I stopped in my tracks: "I'm going back to take a shower and go to bed. You should go to bed too."

"No, I want to go to your place!"

Chunyan stamped her foot and pouted.

"Alright, alright, let's go."

I shook my head and returned to 302 with Chunyan.

The noise from upstairs is very loud, with clanging and banging, and the sound of furniture being dragged around, like a train running.

I wanted to go upstairs to quiet Huang Aijun down, but then I thought they might be moving, which would inevitably cause a lot of noise.

Chunyan stood in the living room, twisting the hem of her clothes with both hands, head down and silent.

"Chunyan, what do you want to say?"

"I told you, you...you're not allowed to be angry."

Chunyan grabbed my hand and looked up at me, saying, "That fatso is a friend of my dad's. My dad... often borrows money from him..."

My heart skipped a beat.

Damn it, could it be that because of his debts, he... gave Chunyan to Kuai Dafu as collateral?

That old devil is lazy and greedy; he's really capable of doing something as simple as selling his daughter!

"Brother Wang, don't overthink it. I've only been here for a week."

Chunyan's eyes reddened: "My dad did say that I... I should date Kuai Dafa... Of course I didn't agree, and my mom scolded my dad too..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Chunyan's eyes.

My heart softened, and I wiped away Chunyan's tears: "I know, Chunyan, don't say anymore."

"What do you know?"

Chunyan suddenly threw herself into my arms and hugged me tightly: "You need to make it clear to my dad that I'm your girlfriend. That way, that fat bastard won't dare to bother me anymore."

"Okay, I'll talk to your dad tomorrow."

I nodded in agreement, but then suddenly remembered something: "But Chunyan, I don't have any money right now, so I can't give you any dowry or anything."

"Who asked for a bride price? She didn't agree to marry you."

Chunyan chuckled and started punching my chest with her little fists.

I laughed too: "Don't hit me. Once I've made some money, I'll give you a bride price."

Just then, Chunyan cried out "Ouch!" again, froze, and looked pained.

"What's wrong, Chunyan?"

"I twisted the hook again..."

Chunyan glanced at me sideways: "Do you still have safflower oil? Could you rub some on for me?"

"Shall I wipe it for you?"

"Come on, what's with all the nagging?"

Chunyan smiled, took my hand, and led me into the small room.

I found some safflower oil, and Chunyan was already lying on the bed.

"After applying the safflower oil, you need to massage it in for a while to help the skin absorb it..." I hesitated, not daring to start.

"Go ahead and massage it. It's not like I'm stopping you. You're my boyfriend, what are you afraid of?"

Chunyan buried her head in the bed sheet, speaking in a low voice.

"Then I'll begin."

I trembled as I grabbed Chunyan's skirt by the waist and pulled it down a little.

"Are you stupid? Just lift your skirt up from the back." Chunyan covered her face.

Then I realized that it would be more convenient to do it from the other end, so I lifted Chunyan's skirt.

She's so fair-skinned.

The calves, thighs, and all the way up, were as white as jade.

"Brother Wang, when will my ID card be ready?"

Chunyan was also embarrassed, so she deliberately tried to chat with me.

"I don't know yet, I'll ask you tomorrow."

I started by pulling down the waistband of Chunyan's shorts, finding the area around her tailbone, applying safflower oil, and gently massaging it.

"Sit down, aren't you tired of standing?"

Chunyan patted my bottom with her hand.

"I'm not tired..."

I sped up and rubbed it a few more times: "That should work, Chunyan. Take the safflower oil back with you, rub it again after you take a bath, and you'll be fine tomorrow."

"Keep massaging it for a while longer. It feels hot, so it's working."

"Okay, don't move."

I continued to treat Chunyan.

As we were talking, I suddenly felt that the atmosphere behind me was off!

When I turned around, I saw Sister Li standing behind me.

"Ah, Sister Li!"

I was quite surprised and hurriedly put down Chunyan's skirt: "Sister Li, I... Chunyan is injured, I... I'll put some medicine on her..."

Sister Li is really something. Why did she come back without saying a word and stand behind me like a ghost?

Chunyan was also taken aback and turned around to look: "Ah, Landlady..."

"Injured again?"

Sister Li smiled enigmatically: "Last night, Chunyan got hurt on the sofa, and tonight, she got hurt on your bed? You should be careful, you always end up hurting Chunyan."

"Sister Li, that's not true. Chunyan really was injured today."

I grabbed a bottle of safflower oil from the side and held it up in front of Sister Li to prove my innocence.

"Oh, so yesterday's injury wasn't real, it was fake."

Sister Li shook her head and grinned mischievously: "Remember to close the door next time, so I don't see you again. You should know how to do this kind of thing in private."

My face burned: "Sister Li, you..."

But Sister Li had already turned around and gone to the living room.

Chunyan also got up, her face flushed, and said in a low voice, "I'm going back. It's so embarrassing. The landlady saw me again."

I nodded: "Slow down."

Chunyan walked out hesitantly, smiled at Sister Li, and said, "Landlady, I...I'm going back."

"What 'Landlady'? You're my brother's girlfriend, from now on call me Sister Li."

"Okay, Sister Li."

Chunyan smiled happily and waved to me: "I'll come find you again tomorrow, and we can work together."

I nodded and opened the door for Chunyan.

"Chunyan, wait a moment."

Sister Li stopped Chunyan: "Come to my room with me. I have a few clothes here that were a little too small when I bought them, and I've never worn them. I think they'll fit you."

Chunyan hesitated for a moment, then followed Sister Li into the room.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, Chunyan came out carrying several pieces of clothing, smiling happily.

The clothes should be new; the tags are still on.

"Yaozu, send off the swallows of spring."

Sister Li yawned: "I have something to tell you when I get back. I'll be away for a few days."

I nodded and escorted Chunyan home.

As they entered the second building, Chunyan turned around and smiled, "Sister Li is going away for a few days, so Brother Wang, you're now the boss of Building 27."

"What boss? I'm just an employee."

I shook my head, but I was actually quite looking forward to it.

With Sister Li gone, this world of Building 27 is mine now.

Who would dare not call me the tall and mighty landlord when they see me?
