Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

"Miss Bai, I'm really sorry, the landlord is not in good health and cannot talk to you in person, but he has agreed to let you live here."

In the corridor, Zhou Zheng, as the landlord's spokesperson, explained the situation to Bai Yao. The door of the room behind him was closed, and no one knew what had happened to the handsome but sleep-deprived boy.

Bai Yao walked into room 1404. There weren't many things in it, but it was clean and tidy. The first thing she did when she entered was to draw open the curtains. Instantly, sunlight poured into the room, dispelling the coldness.

The Rose Building is a relatively tall building in the area, with a wide view. Through the window, Bai Yao can see the hospital building on the opposite street. From where she is in the building, the houses in this old neighborhood are all gray, dark and old, while on the other side of the street, the white buildings are bathed in sunlight, brand new and tidy.

It's like two worlds.

She used the navigation to search and found that it would only take about ten minutes to walk from the Rose Building to the hospital. If she prepared a small electric car, it would take less than ten minutes.

With a shorter commute, you can naturally sleep longer.

When Zhou Zheng saw Bai Yao lying on the window and looking outside, he silently recalled the scene when the landlord was a young man in love.

At that time, after Bai Yao went out, Zhou Zheng asked in a low voice: "Do you think she is scary?"

The young boy blinked his moist red eyes in fear, covered his face, and nodded his head vigorously several times. Because he nodded too hard, his neck tilted and cracked. Fortunately, a pair of hands held his face, so his head did not fall to the ground like a ball.

Zhou Zheng said: "Then I'll just drive her away."

“No!” The boy stretched out his hand, and his pale and slender fingers grabbed Zhou Zheng’s trouser legs. The boy, who was wrapped in a long robe and long hair, looked like a cub and said eagerly: “No…”

He just said no, but he didn't know why.

Zhou Zheng sighed deeply and had to take over the job himself. He took Bai Yao, who was waiting in the corridor, into room 1404.

To be honest, he didn't care whether Bai Yao was willing to stay in this building, because even if Bai Yao didn't want to, the residents in this building had thousands of ways to make her stay.

But considering the ignorant boy, he still thought of a set of words.

"Ms. Bai, although this neighborhood has a long history and looks a bit old, the infrastructure is very complete. There is a night market in the neighborhood on the 15th of every month. The reason why the temperature here is lower than outside... well, it's mainly due to the cold island effect caused by the terrain."

Zhou Zheng almost bit his tongue. What cold island effect? ​​How to explain it? He didn't know anything at all!

But Bai Yao turned around and said happily: "You guys save a lot of electricity in the summer, I think we don't even need to turn on the air conditioner!"

"Ah? Well..." Zhou Zheng nodded calmly, "You are right."

The way he looked at Bai Yao now became much more obscure, as if she was some kind of weirdo.

Bai Yao touched his chin, thought for a while, and said: "Then I will sign a three-month contract with you first."

Zhou Zheng asked: "You don't plan to stay here forever?"

Bai Yao shook her head. "Didn't you say there's a cold island effect here? Then it must be very cold in the winter. I'm afraid of both heat and cold. When winter comes, I want to find a warm place to live."

In a corner where the sun does not shine, a figure hangs upside down from the ceiling.

His long silver hair almost swept the floor. The silk thread hanging from the ceiling entangled his tight waistline and the hem of his clothes. He crossed his arms, his body swaying gently with the silk thread, his red eyes staring straight at Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng retracted his gaze and saw the man who was completely unaware that there was something strange behind him and was smiling like a naive person. His head hurt even more, not only a headache, but also a stomachache.

Zhou Zheng was embarrassed and said: "Actually, here... there will be a heat island effect in winter."

Bai Yao: "So magical?"

"Yes, the principle is actually very simple. It is mainly related to quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics... is quite magical, you know."

Bai Yao's eyes were blank, she didn't understand.

The upside-down figure behind her tore open the chocolate wrapper, stuffed the chocolate into his mouth, and took a bite with an expressionless face.

Although it was silent, Zhou Zheng still vaguely heard a "crunching" sound, which gave him goose bumps all over his body. His stomachache became more serious and he had to take medicine.

Zhou Zheng could only say: "Ms. Bai, you can live here for a while and then decide. Maybe you will like Rose Mansion. I don't think there is any other place with better rental conditions than us."

Bai Yao got Zhou Zheng's rental contract. She glanced at it and said in surprise: "300 yuan a month in rent?"

"If Miss Bai thinks it's too expensive, we can continue to discuss it." Zhou Zheng thought about it for a while, and when he saw the figure hanging behind him raised a finger, he said: "Then it'll be one hundred a month."

Bai Yao: "One hundred yuan a month, are you talking about RMB?"

The upside-down figure quickly stretched out a hand, opened five fingers, and shook it desperately towards Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng said: "Fifty yuan, it can't be any lower, but if you think it's expensive, there is room for negotiation. You can go to our landlord."

Bai Yao thought about it and said, "That landlord is very interesting."

The person hanging at the back turned red in the face and panickedly covered his face with his pale hands. His body hanging in the air looked like it had been twisted into an earthworm.

Zhou Zheng secretly rolled his eyes.

Bai Yao picked up the contract and said, "What I want to say is that the rent here is too cheap. Is it because someone died here?"

The "earthworm" at the back stopped twisting, opened the five fingers of the hand that was covering its face, and stared at Zhou Zheng sinisterly through the fingers with red eyes. Zhou Zheng had no doubt that if he answered wrong, the Dian Gong would use him as a target.

Zhou Zheng tried his best to smile perfectly, "Miss Bai, you are joking. This room is next to our landlord's. No one has ever lived here. It is very clean. How could a terrible death happen here?"

"Then..." Bai Yao's eyes sparkled with wisdom, "The reason you set the room rate so low is to keep the guests. Are you doing something bad?"

Isn't she a naive girl?

How can you be so sharp!

Zhou Zheng had to take it seriously. He straightened his posture and said solemnly: "Miss Bai, please don't misunderstand. The reason why our house price is not high is that our Rose Building is a key support object of the government. Since the establishment of Qionghua City, Rose Building has existed. Anyone in Qionghua City knows about our Rose Building.

Zhou Zheng recalled the past and sighed: "Back then, the population density of Qionghua City was too high, and everyone was scrambling to buy a house. It was our Rose Building that opened its doors and welcomed citizens to move in without asking for anything in return, which alleviated the population pressure."
