I have big problems with my superpowers and my relationship

"Well, I seldom go out."

"......Fine."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, shook his head helplessly, and turned to look at Xiao Liu: "Then how about this, or one deposit and one pay?"

"Yes, deposit one and pay one!"

Xiao Liu smiled happily. He didn't expect the order to be so easy to complete. He rubbed his hands and replied, "The rent is 1800 a month, plus the deposit it's 3600."

It's really expensive...

Lu Chen muttered to himself, acting as a messenger, and asked Xia Yunian: "Can you accept it?"

1800 a month is actually a normal price considering the location and size of this house.

But this money is enough to rent a large three-bedroom apartment in a small city. He was afraid that Xia Yunian would think it was too expensive, so he still asked.

Even if you have money and can pay for her, you still have to ask for her opinion.

"1800... OK."

On the other side, Xia Yunian calculated silently and quickly gave the answer.

She didn't care how much the rent was and only agreed because she had enough money to pay it.

"Row."

Lu Chen nodded, looked at Xiao Liu again, and said, "Sign the contract."

"Okay, let's go to the store to sign?"

As the commission was about to be received, Xiao Liu's service attitude became more and more in place: "Or you can wait here for a while, I will go and get the contract?"

"Let's go to the store. We also need to buy some daily necessities."

"Anything is fine."

Xiao Liu led Lu Chen and Xia Yunian out of the house, locked the door, and asked with a smile:

"Mr. Lu, how long will your sister live in Yanjiang? If it's a long time, you can consider paying a few more months' rent at a time, which will be cheaper."

"Oh, no, it'll only be a month at most."

"Really? Never mind then..."

"..."

There is plenty of sunlight in the corridor. Although the walls of the stairs look shabby, as expected in an old residential area, there is no odor and the floor is clean.

Walking downstairs, Lu Chen and Xiao Liu chatted casually.

Xia Yunian followed the two of them silently. When she heard Lu Chen say that he would only live in Yanjiang for a month at most, her steps paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

......

About half an hour later, Lu Chen and Xia Yunian walked out of the store called "Happy Real Estate" amid Xiao Liu's enthusiastic farewell.

The contract was signed by Xia Yunian and she paid the rent herself.

Because a copy of her ID card was required to rent a house, Lu Chen also took the opportunity to "verify" her age.

I never expected that she was actually 18 years old.

To be more precise, I just turned 18 today.

Fortunately.

In this way, if Xia Yunian ran away from home secretly, then when her parents came looking for her, at least he would not be considered as "abducting an underage girl".

But I feel that this possibility is unlikely.

After all, the two have been together for more than six hours so far, and Xia Yunian's phone has never rang during this period.

Not to mention phone calls and text messages, I didn’t even receive a birthday greeting from my bank or operator.

Xia Yunian is like a "transparent person" without any relatives or friends, and his connection with this world is even less than that of Lu Shuyu.

After all, the latter still has family and some friends and classmates.

So, how can I find her relatives and send her away?

Standing in front of the crosswalk, watching the cars coming and going in front of him, Lu Chen fell into deep thought.

Xia Yunian stood quietly behind him, not asking where they were going. She just followed them silently, always keeping a step away from him.

Soon, the green light came on, and the two followed the crowd onto the zebra crossing, as if tied together by an invisible thread, and walked towards the direction where the sun was setting.

......

It was almost five o'clock when Lu Chen climbed up to the fifth floor with his bags and opened the door breathlessly.

Because Qin Wanqing had sent him a message saying that he didn't need to go to the market to buy vegetables today, so he could still stay here for a while.

"Quilt, sheets, pillows, toothpaste, toothbrush, towels..."

After taking out the things he just bought from the supermarket, Lu Chen looked up and asked, "See if you need anything else. I'll take you to buy them while I still have time."

Xia Yunian was silent for a moment, then replied in a low voice: "I also need a computer."

Wow, she’s also an internet addict.

Lu Chen curled his lips: "If you want a computer, just buy it online."

"I have no money."

"...Then I'll lend it to you first."

After exchanging a glance with Xia Yunian, Lu Chen took out his phone helplessly: "Five thousand is enough, right?"

"not enough."

"..."

not enough???

"Five thousand isn't enough?"

Lu Chen was surprised: "What? You want to play 2077?"

"2077, what is it?"

Xia Yunian was a little confused: "Configuration, better, is to help you."

"Help me? Help me with what?"

Lu Chen looked at her strangely, and seeing that she didn't know how to explain, he lost his patience and asked no more.

At least he has told me so much information about super powers, so I might as well consider it as something I paid for.

"Forget it, just tell me a number."

"Wait a mininute."

Xia Yunian nodded, took out his phone and studied it for a while, then reported a number with both zeros and integers: "Nine thousand three hundred and twenty."

"...I've transferred it to you."

Lu Chen didn't bother to care whether she planned to buy the whole machine or assemble it herself, or if she just wanted to use up her gold coins, so he directly transferred 9,500 yuan to her via WeChat.

Fortunately, I didn’t give all my savings to Qin Wanqing, otherwise I wouldn’t know how to ask her for it back.

Xia Yunian quickly took the money and just said "received" without even saying "thank you".

You’re welcome… Lu Chen rolled his eyes: “Do you need anything else besides the computer?”

Xia Yunian thought for a moment and said, "No need."

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

Lu Chen stood up and said, "I just tested the water and electricity, and they are both fine. Natural gas can also be used...but you should try not to use it."

"Pack these things yourself. Call me if you have anything."

"Um...wait a minute."

Xia Yunian picked up the room key on the table and struggled for a while before finally taking one down.

Holding the key in front of Lu Chen, she whispered:

"You forgot the key."

Ok?

Are you so confident in me?

Lu Chen frowned: "Why do I need your key?"

"No or..."

Xia Yunian's expression didn't change. Hearing this, he put his hand down silently: "I thought you would come here often."

Why do I come here so often???

Don’t you think your words are ambiguous?

Taking a deep breath, considering that Xia Yunian was only 18, Lu Chen didn't say much. He just looked at her one last time, then turned and left.

But when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around.

"correct."

"what happened?"

Xia Yunian looked at him blankly: "Anything else?"

"It's nothing."

Lu Chen shook his head and said perfunctorily, "Happy birthday."

"..."

"Boom~"

With the slightly dull sound of the door closing, the old-fashioned security door with some paint peeling trembled slightly, and then returned to calm.

Xiao Liu didn't lie. Although the house was old, the lighting and environment were good. Although it was dusk, there were still large patches of gentle sunlight in the house. Outside the window was a sycamore tree, and the chirping of sparrows could be heard among the branches and leaves.

Xia Yunian stood there in a daze, holding the key that Lu Chen didn't want gently in her hand. After a long time, she replied in a low voice:
