Xiao Lin didn't have time to greet her before the elevator door closed. Hua Qingyi saw this and asked, "Do you know her?" Hua Qingyi didn't see the woman's face, but he did notice her figure, which was quite nice.
"Kind of," Xiao Lin chuckled, "I just don't know if she knows me!" The woman in the elevator was the same one who invited Xiao Lin for a one-night stand last night. Xiao Lin didn't expect her to live here too.
Xiao Lin and Hua Qingyi took another elevator and quickly reached the floor they were going to — room 703 on the seventh floor. Upon arriving at the door of room 703, the security iron door outside was closed, but the wooden door was not. Voices were coming from inside, belonging to a young woman and a middle-aged woman.
"Teacher Qi, I found this place through the rental ad you posted on the school forum. Look, I've brought my luggage, but now you tell me the house is already rented. But there's no one here now! Teacher Qi, how about this? I'm willing to add 200 more yuan to the rent every month!" The young woman seemed to know the landlord.
"Dr. Xia, it's not that I don't want to rent it to you. The house is indeed rented. I just got a call from the rental company's PR, so I came to tidy up. Otherwise, I wouldn't appear in this house since I don't live here!" Teacher Qi continued to explain.
"I'll add 500 more yuan to the rent every month, Teacher Qi. I've moved my luggage here. The other party hasn't shown up yet, so it seems they aren't sincere. Besides, the other party was introduced by an agency. Is it appropriate for outsiders to move into our school's teacher building?" Dr. Xia continued.
Teacher Qi seemed quite troubled as well. After hearing Dr. Xia, she hesitated, especially when she said the other party wasn't from the school. But having already promised the agency, Teacher Qi, being a person of integrity, said with a bit of reluctance, "Dr. Xia, how about this? The young person coming to rent is also a doctor. This house has four bedrooms and two living rooms, quite spacious. Since you're both alone, why don't I make a concession and let you both share the rent at the original price I quoted? You two split the rent in half, how about that?"
"Let me think about it!" Dr. Xia hesitated a bit.
Outside the door, Hua Qingyi chuckled and said, "Bro, could it be that woman from the elevator just now? Seems like you're quite lucky with the ladies, first a beautiful traffic cop, now an alluring doctor in a uniform!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't want to live under the same roof with others either. We were the ones who reserved this place first!" Xiao Lin gave Hua Qingyi a look, but in his heart, he was thinking about last night's one-night stand offer, though he ultimately declined.
Even though the door was open, Xiao Lin politely pressed the doorbell outside the door. An elderly woman's voice came from inside, "Coming, coming, please wait a moment!" Pressing the doorbell at this moment, it was likely that the tenant the agency called about had arrived. The voice then said to the woman, "Dr. Xia, you see, the renter is here. You two should discuss it!" Then footsteps were heard from inside.
The door was opened by a middle-aged woman, seemingly around fifty years old, wearing black-framed glasses. Her skin was well-maintained, and she had an elegant temperament with a scholarly aura. Her face was kind and amiable. Upon seeing Qin Ying and Hua Qingyi, she smiled and said, "You must be the tenants the agency called about?"
"Yes, hello, ma'am. I'm Xiao Lin, the one interested in renting your place!" Xiao Lin sized up the woman who opened the door. Well-maintained and with a nice temperament, he imagined the house's taste wouldn't be bad either.
"Please come in, please come in. But there's a little issue. Before you came, a Doctor Xia from our school's hospital also wanted to rent my place, and she even brought her luggage over. However, the agency called me earlier, saying you reserved it first. But I think you're both young, this place is big, and it wouldn't be bad for you to share. I won't raise the rent. What do you think?" Teacher Qi was quite straightforward, not hiding anything from Xiao Lin and speaking directly.
The school's hospital Dr. Xia? Xiao Lin was a bit stunned. Could it be Dr. Xia Xue from our emergency department, whom I haven't met yet? Having heard Li Jingyi's description of Xia Xue, Xiao Lin didn't have any negative feelings toward her, though not much affection either, just ordinary. He couldn't help but ask, "Ma'am, wouldn't it be Dr. Xia from our school's emergency department?"
"Ah, Xiao Xiao is also from our school's emergency department? So you're colleagues with Dr. Xia, who is indeed from our emergency department. Seems my worries were unnecessary. You two are really destined, finding this place together!" Teacher Qi laughed heartily.
Xiao Lin's heart skipped a beat. This is just too coincidental, isn't it? Then he remembered what the landlady just said, that the other party moved in with luggage. Could it be the woman he saw in the elevator earlier? If so, the world really is small.
"Haha, I don't mind. Dr. Xia is a well-known beauty at our school. Sharing with a beauty would be my honor!" Xiao Lin said boldly, showing no signs of dissatisfaction or inappropriate expressions.
Teacher Qi, seeing Xiao Lin's demeanor, thought to herself: This young man is quite decent. As for Xiao Lin and Hua Qingyi's appearances, to the already retired Teacher Qi, they were just fleeting clouds.
Xia Xue was in the living room listening to the conversation at the door, feeling intrigued. Since when did the emergency department get a male doctor? Over the years, the ER only had three doctors: a just-retired old director and Li Jingyi. Could he be a swindler? Xia Xue suddenly remembered that over a month ago, the old director mentioned hiring a new doctor for the ER after his retirement. Could this be the new colleague she hadn't met yet? This is too coincidental.
However, Xia Xue didn't anticipate the even more coincidental event. When Xiao Lin and Hua Qingyi followed Teacher Qi into the living room, Xia Xue's eyes widened in disbelief at Xiao Lin. Oh my god, since when did Yanjing become so small?
Though prepared, Xiao Lin was still taken aback by the scene. In his heart, he thought, Yanjing really is a small world!
"It's you!"
"It really is you!"
The first sentence was said by Xia Xue, and the second by Xiao Lin.
