CHAPTER 221: CHAPTER 221: LIVING ACROSS THE HALL?!

In the evening, when Lin Hao got home, the first person he saw was Nan Xi.

He was slightly taken aback seeing Nan Xi. He thought his sister’s friends would be similar to her type, but Nan Xi turned out to be a bit aloof.

Lin Xiaoyan quickly introduced, "Brother, this is my friend. She will be living with me from now on."

Lin Hao paused for a moment after hearing this, "Oh, but..."

He wanted to ask, how would they live together?

Lin Xiaoyan said directly, "Nan Xi and I are planning to move to the building next door in a couple of days. Once the place is cleaned and we buy some daily necessities, we can move in."

"The building next door?" Lin Hao was surprised. He thought for a moment, "How about I move out, and you two stay here instead?"

Actually, he should have moved out a long time ago.

Lin Xiaoyan quickly responded, "No need, you can stay here. The place next door is bigger; we can live there."

"How much is the rent for that place?" Lin Hao asked, "And the rent for this apartment, I’ll give it to you after I get paid next month."

Lin Xiaoyan didn’t want to explain too much, so she just agreed for now.

He Qi’an arrived soon after, and when he saw Nan Xi, his eyes showed scrutiny.

In fact, he had been connecting with people over the past few days, trying to arrange protection for Yanyan. He didn’t expect that they had already sent someone so quickly.

"Hello."

Nan Xi’s eyes flickered when she saw He Qi’an, "Hello."

She knew He Qi’an. A few years ago, she had seen him during a protection mission; he was very strong.

Lin Xiaoyan reheated the food, and upon seeing this, He Qi’an immediately walked into the kitchen.

"You made so many dishes, are you tired?"

Lin Xiaoyan dished out the food from the pot and handed it to He Qi’an, "It’s alright, I’m not tired. Sister Nan helped; I just did some stir-frying."

He Qi’an quickly served the food and went back to the kitchen for bowls and chopsticks.

After washing his hands, Lin Hao came out and saw He Qi’an and his sister looking quite close. His heart sank a bit.

In the evening, after He Qi’an left, Lin Hao called Lin Xiaoyan over.

"Yanyan, you and Xiao He..." Lin Hao looked at his sister and asked, "Are you two dating?"

Lin Xiaoyan’s face turned red, nodding shyly, "Yes, did you find out?"

Lin Hao: ...

He rolled his eyes at his sister, "Were you waiting for me to discover you were dating? If I hadn’t found out, were you not planning to tell me!"

"Uh... I wasn’t trying to hide it, just felt embarrassed to say it..." Lin Xiaoyan said bashfully.

Looking at his sister, Lin Hao sighed, not knowing what to say.

He Qi’an is a good person, with a good job, but he doesn’t know what He Qi’an’s family situation is like.

"Do you know about his family situation?"

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Yes, he told me."

"Then... well, anyway, you’re a girl, before getting married, protect yourself, don’t be impulsive!

Also, if he doesn’t plan to get married, don’t agree to any of his terms.

Men are all talk before marriage and completely different after marriage, you need to see that clearly!

And also..."

Lin Hao earnestly advised his sister, causing Lin Xiaoyan to feel a bit overwhelmed.

Fortunately, her brother’s phone rang, "Brother, your wife is video calling you, go and answer it!"

Saying that, she quickly ran back to her room, not wanting to hear her brother’s nagging anymore.

In the room, Nan Xi overheard the conversation outside, and was somewhat surprised to learn that Lin Xiaoyan was dating He Qi’an.

However, during dinner just now, it was evident the two liked each other.

At night, Nan Xi and Lin Xiaoyan shared a bed, and Lin Xiaoyan told Nan Xi about her morning workout plans for the next day.

Nan Xi nodded upon hearing this, indicating she knew and would join the morning exercises too.

Her task was to be wherever Lin Xiaoyan was!

To always ensure Lin Xiaoyan’s safety!

The next day, Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi went to the new apartment to clean up. The hourly worker finished the cleaning, and Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi made the bed.

They placed all the purchased daily necessities and bought some food.

"Alright, we can move in today. After moving in, we can slowly add whatever is lacking."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the apartment, feeling satisfied.

While there was still time, Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi moved their belongings.

Nan Xi had very few things, just a suitcase.

Lin Xiaoyan didn’t have too much stuff either and just moved her clothes and some essentials, planning to buy other things later.

Nan Xi borrowed a cart from the property office, and they made two trips to finish moving everything.

After they were done, it was already seven o’clock. Lin Xiaoyan decided to order takeout.

"Sister Nan, what do you want to eat? I’m ordering takeout, not cooking tonight."

Nan Xi thought for a moment and nodded, "Sure, starting tomorrow, I’ll cook."

"Hmm?"

Lin Xiaoyan quickly waved her hand after hearing Nan Xi’s words, "No need, I can cook."

"I’m here to protect you, which includes taking care of all your daily life and safety."

Finally, under Nan Xi’s insistence, Lin Xiaoyan agreed, but thought that since they were living together, she wouldn’t let Sister Nan do everything alone.

Moreover, she wasn’t used to just sitting back and enjoying the results.

At night, Lin Xiaoyan lay in bed and sent a message to He Qi’an.

"Don’t wait for me downstairs at Unit 2 tomorrow morning."

He Qi’an: ? Why?

Before Lin Xiaoyan could reply, He Qi’an called.

"Are you not going to the morning exercise tomorrow?" He Qi’an’s voice came through the phone.

Lin Xiaoyan smiled, "I am, I just moved; I’m not living at Unit 2 anymore."

He Qi’an: !!!

"Moved? Where to? Why didn’t you tell me?" He Qi’an felt a pang of panic but soon realized that with Nan Xi protecting Yanyan, their current place must be inadequate.

"Moved to ** community?" He Qi’an speculated.

"No," Lin Xiaoyan decided not to hide any longer, "Sister Nan and I moved to your building, it’s a reward from the Special Investigation Bureau!"

"My building!!!"

He Qi’an asked excitedly, "Which floor?"

"12th floor, which floor are you on?"

Suddenly, the call was disconnected, and Lin Xiaoyan stared blankly at the hung-up phone. Did she accidentally press something? Probably not.

However, the next second, she received a message from He Qi’an, "Open the door."

!!!

So fast!

Lin Xiaoyan got out of bed and walked to the door, "He Qi’an?"

"It’s me."

Lin Xiaoyan was full of surprise when she heard He Qi’an’s voice outside. She opened the door to see He Qi’an, wearing a vest that showed off his firm muscles.

"How come you..."

He Qi’an pointed across, "I live here!"

He Qi’an said with an unabashed smile. He couldn’t believe that Lin Xiaoyan had moved right across from him!

In the future, he could see her anytime.

Lin Xiaoyan widened her eyes, "No... it can’t be..."

She never expected that He Qi’an lived right across the hall, so close!
