377: Chapter 377: Embarrassment 377: Chapter 377: Embarrassment Zinuo observed the hesitant expression on Su Mo’s face and explained with a smile, “Come on, just take me with you; I won’t mind.”

“It’s not…”

Su Mo also felt a bit of a headache, unsure of how to explain.

Seeing how awkward Su Mo was, Zinuo couldn’t help but become suspicious, so she continued to ask.

“I remember you said there’s nobody else at home, right?

Is it inconvenient?”

“It’s not exactly inconvenient.”

Zinuo immediately became anxious.

What if he didn’t even have a home and was too embarrassed to say it?

Was that why he found a job with room and board included?

After hesitating, she said,

“The staff dormitory would work too.”

Su Mo couldn’t help but chuckle at the way things were getting more complicated, and he replied helplessly,

“Ah, that’s not it.

Forget it, if you don’t mind, just come with me.”

Seeing Su Mo relent, Zinuo happily linked arms with him and cheerfully responded, “I don’t mind.”

Su Mo could only bite the bullet and lead Zinuo toward his home.

Along the way, Zinuo curiously looked around the old district.

The buildings in this area were quite old, with some in the corners even damaged, and prominently marked with “Demolish”.

“These buildings must be pretty old; they look like they’re going to be demolished.”

“Yeah, they are going to be demolished.”

Su Mo had no intention of hiding it from Zinuo.

Getting confirmation from Su Mo, Zinuo asked worriedly, “Won’t the demolition negatively affect you in the future?

If it really comes to that, take the compensation money, and I’ll add some more so you can buy a new place?”

“Cough, cough, no need, it’s not even certain it will be demolished.”

Su Mo replied awkwardly, wondering why he always felt so uncomfortable.

Was this considered indirectly misleading Zinuo?

Seeing Su Mo’s refusal, Zinuo didn’t press further.

Everyone has their own temperament.

Soon, the two arrived at an unremarkable walk-up building in the center of the area.

Zinuo was also secretly shocked.

In this day and age, there were still walk-up buildings; this building was probably as old as an antique.

Su Mo led Zinuo to the second floor and opened a door; the inside was pitch black.

Click!

Su Mo reached out to turn on the light, and the entire dark room suddenly lit up.

Zinuo, staring at the spacious room before her, was stunned.

She had thought for sure that it would be a moldy, dirty, messy, and small house.

Instead, it was incredibly spacious; it was almost like a large flat, at least two hundred square meters.

The key point was that the interior decor was quite nice, but that wasn’t the most important.

Most important were the custom-made cabinets all around the room, adorned with countless figurines and limited edition collectibles.

Zinuo’s eyes dazzled.

For a moment, she thought she had walked into the wrong place and arrived at a dedicated exhibition hall.

Zinuo walked into the room, amazed, carefully examining each lifelike figurine.

“That….”

Su Mo’s expression grew more awkward, as he tried to think of how to explain.

At that moment, Zinuo exclaimed, “So many figurines, they must be expensive.”

“It’s okay.”

Su Mo didn’t know what to say.

Zinuo squatted down, looking at a life-sized anime girl figurine, and exclaimed, “You really have money; though I don’t collect figurines, my friends do.

A big figurine like this one must cost at least a few thousand yuan, right?

And the smaller ones aren’t cheap either, costing a few hundred yuan each.”

Hearing this, Su Mo’s expression became even more awkward; the figurine Zinuo was looking at alone cost five million yuan.

“About that,” he replied.

As Zinuo went from room to room, she couldn’t help but complain, “Su Mo, you really know how to waste money.

How much did all these figurines cost?

With this money, you could move to a better neighborhood.

You shouldn’t squander like this; it’s not good.”

“Cough, cough, I bought them a while ago; I haven’t bought any recently.

You must be tired, right?

Let me prepare a room for you.”

Su Mo quickly changed the subject with a chuckle.

“No need, I’ll do it myself.

You’ve been working all day and must be tired too.

But before that, I’m going to take a shower.”

Lin Zinuo wasn’t shy at all and treated the place like his own home.

Su Mo didn’t mind and responded, “Okay.”

Then Su Mo went back to his room, sat by his computer, and continued browsing the Star Ring Forum.

He didn’t have any other hobbies now, browsing the forum was his greatest pastime.

Observing the progression as a bystander, he felt pretty good about it.

“Su Mo!”

At that moment, Lin Zinuo’s shout rang out.

“Coming.”

Su Mo, looking puzzled, stood up and walked to the door of the second bedroom.

“What’s up?”

“Forgot to grab my shower gel, can you get it for me?”

Water noises and Lin Zinuo’s voice echoed from the bathroom in the second bedroom.

Su Mo sighed and replied resignedly.

“Hold on.”

He went to his room to get the shower gel and knocked on the door saying,

“Got it.”

The bathroom door opened a crack, and a fair hand reached out to take the shower gel.

“Thanks.”

“Oh.”

Su Mo didn’t pay much attention, turned around, and left to continue browsing the forum in his room.

A moment later, Lin Zinuo, wrapped in a bath towel, walked up behind Su Mo, her wet hair pinned up.

She tapped on Su Mo’s shoulder and asked.

“Where’s the hairdryer?”

Su Mo turned to see Lin Zinuo wrapped in a bath towel, his mind slightly foggy.

Her fair shoulders were exposed, and the wrapped towel emphasized her ample chest, the heat from her body mixed with the scent of the shower gel was quite distracting.

“It’s over there.”

Su Mo pointed awkwardly towards his own bathroom.

“What’s up with you?”

Seeing Su Mo’s embarrassment, Lin Zinuo found it even more amusing and deliberately bent over, exposing a fair cleavage, and asked with a laugh,

Su Mo’s face reddened slightly.

He turned his head away and coughed, saying, “Can you be a little more mindful?”

“Haha, didn’t you say we are like brothers?

What is there to mind between brothers?

Geez, you say one thing but mean another.”

“…”

“Haha.”

Lin Zi laughed heartily, and after teasing Su Mo, left with the hairdryer.

Su Mo sighed deeply, wishing he had been a bit more insistent earlier and booked her a nicer hotel.

Oh well, best to rest early.

…

————————-

The next morning, Lin Zinuo got up early and changed into a snug-fitting sports outfit.

She planned to go out and buy some breakfast while Su Mo was still asleep.

So she opened the door and walked out.

The morning scene in the old town had a unique charm, and the air was very fresh.

It made Lin Zinuo raise her arms, yawn, and stretch her back a bit.

At that moment, the door across the corridor also opened, and an old man came out.

The two faced each other, Lin Zinuo nodded politely as a greeting, then closed the door and left.

The old man just stood there stupefied, his mouth agape, his eyes glued to her, so shocked that his dentures fell to the ground.
