Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Worried About This?

After carefully looking around, Shen Mianmian was very satisfied with the house; it was completely ready to move in with just a suitcase.

But...

As if he could see through her concerns, He Nan said lightly, "Don’t worry about the rent, thirty per month, which is not expensive."

Feeling her thoughts were exposed, Shen Mianmian was slightly embarrassed, but her spirits lifted immediately when she heard the rent was only thirty yuan. Upon further thought, however, it seemed unlikely.

In a place like this, the rent would have to be at least a hundred yuan a month.

Although many people simply couldn’t afford it, the location and the house were worth that price.

Plainly speaking, people who could afford to leave such a nice house unoccupied didn’t lack money, and they would rather keep the house empty than rent it out for a fraction of the market price.

With that in mind, Shen Mianmian tentatively asked, "Brother He, you didn’t pay the rent in advance, did you? The rent for a place like this should be around a hundred yuan, right?"

Even with a discount, it couldn’t possibly drop to thirty yuan all of a sudden.

"Worried about this?"

"Mhm," Shen Mianmian nodded, "You’ve already helped me so much, I can’t expect you to pay the rent as well."

"The landlord lives in Imperial View Garden, his son is in the military, and this house has been empty for two or three years. Someone is hired to clean it every month, and now that it’s rented to you, it saves a cleaning fee, so there is only one requirement for renting the house, it must be clean and hygienic, which shouldn’t be a problem for you."

Though he had never lived with a girl, that didn’t mean he didn’t understand some things about them.

Girls like her with long hair, their hair tends to fall out easily when they wash or brush it, but she was meticulous in picking up the hair and putting it in the trash bin. The same went for her belongings; after using them, she always put them back in their place. It was evident that in daily life, she was the kind of girl who loved cleanliness.

Hearing He Nan put it that way, Shen Mianmian finally smiled and promptly promised, "Brother He, rest assured, I will definitely keep this place spick and span. If they are worried, they can come and inspect it anytime."

If it were anything else, Shen Mianmian wouldn’t dare to make a guarantee, but when it came to cleanliness and hygiene, she was truly skilled.

In her previous life, she worked at Li Min’s house, where she was in charge of cleaning. Li Min was very particular about cleanliness, and couldn’t find fault with her work.

A glint of amusement flashed in He Nan’s eyes, "Now you can live here with peace of mind?"

Shen Mianmian nodded vigorously, "Yes."

He Nan handed her the keys, "You can go back and change your shoes now; I’ll take you to buy some daily necessities."

"Okay."

Shen Mianmian took the keys and, like a little bunny, bounced back into the room. After a few steps, she suddenly remembered Brother He was behind her and promptly stopped to walk properly.

However, her inner joy couldn’t be concealed.

She thought to herself, Brother He has been so good to her; she must cook an extra portion of food for him in the future.

Back in the room, Shen Mianmian changed into the sandals made by Li Chunhua and then followed He Nan out of the door. Her physique was not very strong since she had been malnourished for some time, so she didn’t dare to buy a summer sleeping mat but instead bought bedding, sheets, and some daily necessities.

The two of them took less than an hour to get all these things.

Knowing He Nan had matters to tend to, Shen Mianmian didn’t want to hold him up, planning to clean up and move in, especially since she didn’t have many belongings.

She filled a basin with water and began to wipe down the room.

Before leaving, He Nan casually reminded her, "The humidity is high in a recently cleaned house; it’s not good to move in immediately. First, open the windows to let some air in, and move in tomorrow."
