A life of success begins with being a landlord.

My face flushed, and I quickly pulled my hand away.

That old Xia is a real scoundrel, he says all sorts of things, even in front of Chunyan!

Chunyan's mother is also unlucky. Such a good woman, and she ended up with Lao Xia!

"I live with your parents, you beast."

Chunyan's mother blushed and started cursing, then shoved me, saying, "Xiao Wang, you and Chunyan go back first, don't mind this old woman."

Seeing that another argument was about to break out, I had no choice but to cut my losses quickly: "Uncle Xia, please don't argue with Aunt Xuan. I'll give you the money tomorrow morning."

"It's okay, we're used to arguing, we'll just stop arguing in the future."

Old Xia immediately put on a smiling face: "I owe Boss Kuai three thousand six hundred, thank you, Xiao Wang."

"Three thousand six?" I was taken aback.

Kuai Dafaming told me that he only had six hundred yuan!

"Yes, it's only three thousand six, not much." Old Xia laughed shamelessly.

Chunyan's mother looked at me, shook her head and waved her hand.

Chunyan also secretly shook her head, signaling me not to agree.

"Okay, Uncle Xia."

I thought for a moment and said, "Kuai Dafa told me you owe him six hundred. Don't worry about this money, I'll give it to Kuai Dafa."

We can't tolerate shameless people like Lao Xia; we must make things clear.

After saying that, I turned and left.

Chunyan doesn't want it anymore, and I won't give her the three thousand six hundred either.

Do you think I'm an idiot?!

"Xiao Wang, wait a minute."

Chunyan's mother brought Chunyan and followed me out of the front door.

Chunyan was still holding a change of clothes in her hand.

"Xiao Wang, your wound shouldn't get wet. When you take a bath, let Chunyan help you." Chunyan's mother was very concerned about me.

"Thank you, Auntie. Well then... we'll head back now."

"Let's go back."

Chunyan's mother hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your wound hasn't healed yet, you can't, you can't... that's too crazy, don't break the wound."

Crazy? Why would I go crazy for no reason?

I didn't understand, so I nodded obediently: "I know, I won't be working these next two days."

Chunyan's mother smiled and turned to go back into the house.

Chunyan and I went downstairs and returned to 302.

Although it's only February, the weather in Dongguan is already very hot and humid.

After running around for a while, I was covered in sweat.

Fortunately, Huang Aijun and the others upstairs seemed to have finished their meeting and quieted down.

"Chunyan, your mom wants you to give me a bath."

I looked at Chunyan and said seriously, "You'll bathe me these next few days. After I recover, I'll bathe you to pay off my debt."

"I'm so annoyed, and you're still joking?"

Chunyan rolled her eyes: "I'll give you a bath first, but it's a deal... you have to keep your underwear on, you can't take it all off."

I couldn't help but laugh. Even if you asked me to take everything off, I wouldn't dare.

In the bathroom, Chunyan gave me a bath, very carefully, while sighing all the while.

"Chunyan, why are you sighing?"

"Old Wang, hurry up and find me a job. Once I start working, I won't live at home anymore. I'll live in the factory; out of sight, out of mind."

"There's another apartment in building 805 that no one is renting."

I suddenly thought, "Why don't I rent it and we can live together?"

"Who lives with you? I'm not your wife."

Chunyan pouted and wiped my chest. As she wiped, she looked down and suddenly her face turned red. She threw the towel into the basin, turned around and ran away, yelling, "Shameless, you pervert..."

I looked down and immediately felt a burning sensation all over my body.

I don't know when it happened, but I started having impure reactions again, making a complete fool of myself.

"Oh, Chunyan..."

I felt embarrassed and ashamed, so I thought for a moment and decided to just take a shower myself.

It's really tiring to take a bath with only one hand.

A moment later, Chunyan came in again, snatched the towel, and stood behind me to bathe me.

I became obedient, pressing my legs tightly together and daring not to move.

After a long, laborious shower, I went into my bedroom to change my underwear.

Chunyan took her change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

By the time Chunyan finished her bath, it was already past eleven o'clock.

Neither of us was sleepy; we sat in the living room and played like crazy for two hours.

This was my first time, and it was also Chunyan's first time. Once we started playing, we couldn't stop, losing track of time.

You can't blame us, we're all young people.

The key point is that mobile phones are too fun; which young person can resist such temptation?

Chunyan and I only went to sleep after our phones ran out of battery.

I sleep in the small bedroom. Chunyan sleeps on the sofa; she doesn't dare sleep in Sister Li's room.

……

Around 8 a.m., I went to find Kuai Dafa again. Chunyan stayed at home, doing laundry and cooking.

But Kuai Dafa wasn't home, and there was no response no matter how much he knocked on the door.

I was really out of options, so I called Sister Li to report the situation.

Sister Li didn't seem to care. She first asked about my injuries, then pondered for a moment and said:

"Kuai Dafa seems to deal with printing plants and hospitals, collecting wastewater. Could it be his wastewater leaking down the toilet?"

I must point out the seriousness of this matter:

"Sister Li, this is a serious matter. Kuai Dafa's wastewater is leaking downstairs, not only is it uninhabitable downstairs, but the floor slabs and flooring will also be ruined sooner or later."

That wastewater must be corrosive.

I tried it last night, and my skin felt a stinging sensation.

"Then wait for Kuai Dafa to come back, go into his room and tell him to be more careful in the future."

After saying that, Sister Li hung up the phone.

I looked at my phone, and it seemed like Sister Li was very busy.

I had nothing to do this morning, so I just stood there like an idiot in front of Kuai Dafa's shop, waiting for my prey to come to me.

I sat on the stairs, facing Kuai Dafa's door, playing on my phone. I refused to believe he wouldn't come back for a day!

"Xiao Wang, what are you doing here?"

I heard footsteps behind me, and Chunyan's mother came downstairs and stood behind me.

I stood up and turned around: "Auntie, I'm waiting for Kuai Dafa here. Auntie, are you... going to work?"

"Yes, I went to work today."

Chunyan's mother was wearing a simple work uniform with the words "Sanhuan Garment Factory" on it.

She walked up to me, stood on the next step, and held out her hand: "How's your wound? Can I... take a look?"

"The wound is fine, the dressing has been changed, and I've taken anti-inflammatory medication," I said, pointing to my shoulder.

Chunyan's mother helped me unbutton my shirt, looked at my right shoulder, gently pressed around the wound with her hand, blew on it, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "It's okay, it's not infected."

"Yeah, it'll be fine in a couple of days."

I don't understand. What did Chunyan's mother mean when she blew on my wound? Was it to reduce inflammation or relieve pain?

"You still need to be careful. It's hot, and inflammation can be difficult to treat. Let Chunyan take good care of you."

As Chunyan's mother spoke, she gently buttoned my shirt: "Chunyan just can't cook. If you want something to eat, just tell me. There's not much work at the factory these days, so I can leave work early and cook for you."

My heart warmed: "Thank you, Auntie, but you don't need to go to so much trouble. I eat at Sister Fatty's place."

"You eat fried noodles every day, can't you get enough?"

Chunyan's mother smiled and patted my shoulder: "If you're dating Chunyan, then date her properly, don't bully her. I'm going to work now."

I took two steps back to make way for him: "Okay, Auntie, you go ahead with your work. I'll return the six hundred yuan to Kuai Dafa when he opens the door, and then it'll be fine."

Chunyan's mother stopped, thought for a moment, and sighed, "I still have two thousand yuan of my own savings. I'll return it to you when the passbook matures."
