Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

Seeing her reaction, Lin Yi smiled and said, "You're overthinking it. When I said I liked her, I meant I admired her."

She's just a cute little child. I would like her very much if I saw her, because she's adorable.

"Is that really the case? Is it just simple appreciation?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked, somewhat skeptical.

"Yeah, you have a baby face, and you like to laugh silly all the time. You also have dimples. Your silly smile is very infectious."

When I'm with you and see you smile, I can't help but smile too.

"Don't you know how cute you are?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

"No way," Zhong Xiaoqin said shyly.

Zhong Xiaoqin was overjoyed. Was she really this good?

Throughout her life, many people have said she was cute, but no one has described her as wonderfully as she has.

Lin Yi is the first person to describe cuteness so well.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "So you don't need to overthink it. I just admire you."

We are currently in the flower viewing season; no flowers have been picked.

"What do you mean by admiring and picking flowers? I don't understand," Zhong Xiaoqin muttered, blushing, but her heart was pounding.

During the flower-viewing season, when is the time to pick the flowers? Doesn't it all depend on the mood of the person viewing the flowers?

Lin Yi smiled.

"Also, you can only admire the flowers, you are not allowed to pick them," Zhong Xiaoqin said.

"Didn't you say you couldn't understand?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

"I……"

Zhong Xiaoqin was speechless. She just looked a little silly, but she wasn't really stupid. How could she not understand what she was saying?

Lin Yi handed the grilled meat to Zhong Xiaoqin and said with a smile, "If you don't eat this meat soon, it will burn."

"Mmm." Zhong Xiaoqin said, wrapping a piece of meat in lettuce and stuffing it into her mouth.

As Zhong Xiaoqin ate the barbecue, she looked completely satisfied, and Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of her.

Lin Yi also started eating.

Before long, the two of them had eaten a lot of barbecue.

"Lin Yi, what do you think of the barbecue here?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked.

"It's alright, the ingredients here are pretty good," Lin Yi said.

Since acquiring god-level culinary skills, Lin Yi has become quite picky about what he eats.

He can eat at roadside stalls, but the ingredients can't be bad, otherwise he won't eat there.

"That's good." Zhong Xiaoqin breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Lin Yi would say it tasted terrible, and then she wouldn't know what to do.

With her salary, she can't afford to go to a fancy restaurant; she can only afford to eat ordinary food.

After the two finished eating, Zhu Suosuo suggested, "We've eaten too much. How about we take a walk?"

“Sure,” Lin Yi said.

And so, Lin Yi took Zhu Suosuo shopping at the mall.

I looked at everything from the sixth floor down to the first floor.

Of course, it wasn't for nothing. Zhong Xiaoqin found three extra bags of clothes that Lin Yi had bought for her.

“Lin Yi, we agreed it was just a walk, you…” Zhong Xiaoqin looked at the bag in her hand, not knowing what to say.

Lin Yi laughed and said, "It's just a few pieces of clothing. We're friends, it's not hard to exchange small gifts, is it?"

"Okay," Zhong Xiaoqin said helplessly.

She also knew that Lin Yi was already with Nini, and it was wrong for her to accept Lin Yi's gifts again.

But Lin Yi's attitude was firm, so she dared not refuse.

She wouldn't dare to speak if Lin Yi glared at her.

Before I knew it, I had several bags in my hand. I couldn't very well return them, could I?

As the two walked downstairs, Zhong Xiaoqin was about to part ways with Lin Yi when she saw her mother coming towards them.

Zhong Xiaoqin was startled when she saw her mother.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yi asked.

“My mom came and saw us,” Zhong Xiaoqin said.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

Lin Yi has plenty of experience meeting his mother-in-law, and whether it's real or fake, she likes him a lot.

Lin Yi is quite adept at dealing with his mother-in-law.

Um, it seems she's not his mother-in-law yet.

However, it doesn't matter; Lin Yi believes it will happen sooner or later.

Just then, Zhong Xiaoqin's mother arrived.

"Mom, what brings you here?" Zhong Xiaoqin said shyly.

Zhong's mother looked at her daughter, then at the boy next to her, her face beaming with joy.

The bag in my daughter's hand must be a gift from a boy...

The daughter's blushing already speaks volumes about their relationship.

Moreover, this young man is tall, handsome, and refreshing. Xiaoqin standing next to him looks like a perfect couple.

“If I hadn’t come, how long would you have kept it a secret from your mother?” Zhong’s mother said.

"Mom, it's not what you think..."

Zhong Xiaoqin's mother didn't believe a word of Zhong Xiaoqin's answer.

My daughter is so shy, if she didn't have a boyfriend, would she go out with this boy? And even go shopping together?

Xiaoqin was born to her; she is Xiaoqin's mother. After all this time, who doesn't know who?

"Xiaoqin, aren't you going to introduce her?" Aunt Zhong said with a smile.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Hello, Auntie, my name is Lin Yi, and I'm Xiaoqin's... boyfriend."

"Ah?"

Zhong Xiaoqin was stunned when she heard this.

Zhong Xiaoqin stared wide-eyed at Lin Yi, desperately wanting an explanation from him.

As a result, Lin Yi just smiled and looked at her mother, completely ignoring her.

Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoqin understood.

That wicked guy, he really did have designs on her!

He actually wanted to win over her mother first before trying to win her over.

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Lin Yi as if to say: Impossible!

However, Lin Yi still ignored Zhong Xiaoqin's little expression.

"Good, good, good, the young man looks very handsome," Aunt Zhong said with a smile.

If you compliment someone on their appearance, it might be because they are not good-looking, and it's not appropriate to compliment their looks.

But the reason for praising Lin Yi is that he is in really good spirits.

"Thank you, Auntie." Lin Yi smiled shyly, assuming the role of a junior.

Shy?

Zhong Xiaoqin was stunned when she saw the smile on Lin Yi's face.

Well, I never expected you to be such a scheming man.

She had known Lin Yi for so long, and she had never seen him be shy before.

"No wonder Xiaoqin is so beautiful, she takes after her aunt." Lin Yi said with a smile, "Auntie, I'd like to buy Xiaoqin some cosmetics, shall we go take a look together?"

Lin Yi complimented her on her beauty, and also complimented her mother on her beauty.

Bah, these are all sugar-coated bullets from the man in front of me.

But why was she so happy to hear that?

"Okay."

She wasn't there to buy anything; she wanted to ask Lin Yi some questions.

Before Zhong Xiaoqin could speak, her mother immediately agreed.

Aunt Zhong asked, "Xiao Yi, where are you from?"

"Auntie, I'm a local from Shanghai. My parents passed away in an accident two years ago, and I live alone."

"They left behind several apartments after they left. I graduated from Shanghai University just a year ago," Lin Yi said.

Without even asking, Lin Yi said a lot.

When Zhong's mother heard Lin Yi's terms, she was very satisfied; they were really good.

Zhong Xiaoqin has stopped speaking and has given up on treatment.

Never mind, you guys chat.

At the cosmetics store, at Lin Yi's insistence, he bought a set for Zhong Xiaoqin and her mother, spending eight thousand yuan.

They tried to refuse, but Lin Yi paid the money directly.

After finishing his purchase, Lin Yi said with a smile, "Xiaoqin, Auntie, I have something to do. I'll come back to see you next time."

"Xiao Yi, you must come visit Auntie's house next time," Aunt Zhong said quickly.
