Universe Infinite Canteen

As the light in the room dimmed again, the girl removed her palms from her eyes and said as feebly as if she was half dead, "Don't, don't... close the curtains again."

"Okay." Malu took a few steps back from the window, "What do you call me?"

"Zhen Ye."

"Really wild? You don't look wild at all."

Zhen Ye didn't know how to answer the question, so he could only stand there awkwardly.

"Ms. Chen and Mr. Zhou are yours..."

"guardian."

"You are not yet 18, are they your parents?" Malu raised his eyebrows.

"No, no, it's my aunt and uncle. I had my 18th birthday last month... with my friends..."

"Do you have any friends?"

"Well, well, let's... form a team together to brush up the book."

"Oh, online friends."

Compared with ordinary people, Zhen Ye's reaction is a bit slow. After Ma Lu asks a question, she usually has to pause for two or three seconds before answering, and her speech is not very fluent.

She seemed to realize that the efficiency of such communication was too low, so she said, "Do you have QQ? How about we... chat on QQ?"

"That's fine with me if you feel more comfortable that way."

Ma Lu took out his mobile phone and added Zhen Ye's QQ. Her QQ was called My Neighbor Totoro on the Second Floor.

Once he switched to online, Zhenye immediately felt much more relaxed. His typing speed was even faster than that of ordinary people, and he no longer had the sluggish feeling and strange sentence breaks when speaking.

It's a bit strange that two people are still typing to communicate even though they are under the same roof.

——You want to rent a house?

——Yes, let me confirm first that you are the owner of this shop?

——Yes, my parents bought this two-story building when I was three years old. My name is written on the property certificate. The first floor was originally a supermarket, and our family lived on the second floor.

——I see, can I ask why your aunt and uncle became your guardians?

——Five years ago, my parents drove out of town to purchase goods. As a result, a traffic accident occurred. The driver of a large truck pulling coal fell asleep while driving and rolled over. Their van was hit.

——I'm sorry for bringing up your sadness, but have you been alone since then?

——Well, I continued to live here after taking a leave of absence from school. My aunt and uncle helped me rent out the first floor. The rent was just enough for my daily expenses.

Zhen Ye paused and typed again.

——Actually, if you want to rent a house, just ask my aunt and uncle. I'm not very good at dealing with other people. They are responsible for this kind of thing.

Before Ma Lu could answer, Zhen Ye's QQ on the other side beeped again.

She glanced at the new news, scratched her head, and typed something to Malu.

——My aunt said she has rented out the first floor.

——Didn’t you stop renting it to the owner of the chess and card room?

——She said that due to the recent economic downturn, the previous hot pot restaurant owner had reduced the rent and stopped renting. Only the owner of this chess and card shop was willing to take over, and he was willing to pay an extra 500 yuan.

"Can I take the liberty of asking, how much rent did you receive every month?"

Malu suddenly spoke.

"Uh..." Zhen Ye thought for a while and typed,

——4500.

"I can offer 10,000 yuan," Ma Lu said.

"How many?"

Zhen Ye trembled and breathed heavily.

"Ten thousand, I can also cover you two meals."

Malu continued, "It's just a staff meal, not the kind of formal meal that is sold. Of course, even the staff meals will be much more delicious than the takeaways you usually order."

Zhen Ye seemed a little unable to believe his ears.

——Why are you so nice to me?

"It's not that I'm nice to you. If you rent here normally, the rent will only be higher." Ma Lu said, "If you are willing to take the time to put the rental information out yourself, you should be able to find a tenant with a higher price than me."

Zhen Ye shook his head and continued typing.

——I don’t want to deal with people. It’s too scary to deal with people. Two strangers kept knocking on my door last night.

After a pause, she continued typing.

——Is the ten thousand yuan you said true?

"It's true." Ma Lu said, "If you want, we can sign the contract now."

While the two were talking, the doorbell suddenly rang in their ears.

After hearing this, Zhen Ye ran to the window, pulled up the corner of the curtain and took a quick look outside. Then he immediately retracted his neck and said in horror.

"Yes, it's me... aunt."

"She should also come to you to sign the contract." Ma Lu said.

Zhen Ye couldn't help but hesitate again after hearing this.

Malu didn't rush him, just stood aside and waited quietly.

Zhen Ye was just autistic and not stupid. At this time, she also knew that she had been deceived by her aunt and uncle, and a lot of the previous rent was probably withheld.

But she didn't want to break up with her aunt, not because she couldn't let go of this family relationship. After all, her aunt and uncle didn't visit her a few times after her parents died, and they only came to see her when they needed her signature.

Zhenye herself is actually very satisfied with this frequency of communication. In contrast, she is more afraid that relatives who are always nurturing and visiting every other day will make her even more uncomfortable.

Of course, it makes no difference whether there is such a relationship or not. Zhen Ye is mainly afraid of trouble.

She knew that with her aunt's personality, she would not be willing to lose such a large amount of income, and she might come to her every now and then, crying and acting up.

She is not good at dealing with this kind of thing. Just thinking about that scene is enough to make Zhen Ye suffocate. It is not impossible to pay some money in order not to be disturbed.

But there was no way, Malu gave too much.

Ten thousand yuan has more than doubled from before, which means she can spend more money in the game, buy better equipment, and challenge stronger bosses.

The doorbell kept ringing, like some kind of silent urging, and her QQ also started beeping again.

Zhen Ye looked down at the new message and typed.

——My aunt said that the rental of the first floor has been discussed, the two parties have reached an agreement, and the real estate certificate has been copied.

——It’s useless, you are the homeowner, and it’s useless for them to reach an agreement without your consent.

- But they are my guardians.

——Didn’t you turn 18 last month? You have full civil capacity and no guardian.

Zhen Ye swallowed.

——Then, let’s sign a contract. Do you have a contract?

Malu nodded, "Before I came here, I found a standard template online. I just need to fill in the key information in the blank spaces and check it again. If there is no problem, I can sign."

As he spoke, he took out a document from the backpack behind him.

After Zhenye took it, he just flipped it over and didn't bother to look carefully. He moved the other two sales boxes on the coffee table to the ground and lay there and started filling them.

Seeing this, Ma Lu reminded him again.

"Sign for three years first, with one deposit and three payments. The first month is free of rent, which can be used to apply for certificates and decoration. Then if the lease is renewed, I will have priority at the same rent. Can you accept these conditions?"

Zhen Ye nodded, "Okay."

"Very good, then sign it."
