Qiao Lan was stunned for almost five seconds before she found her voice. She asked tentatively, "… You bought it?"

Qiao Lan couldn't be blamed for thinking that way. Tan Mo didn't know how to spend money, and because he was afraid of trouble, he would do whatever was convenient for him. Even though they had been together for so long, Qiao Lan still couldn't get used to it.

Tan Mo answered quickly this time, "I rented it!"

It was obvious that he was asking for praise.

Qiao Lan smiled in surprise, "You actually know how to rent a house?"

"Didn't you say that you wanted to save money?" Tan Mo hugged Qiao Lan and rubbed his cheek against her cheek. After that, he bit her earlobe and continued in a low voice, "Actually, there's another reason."

Qiao Lan shivered from the bite, "What?"

"The house I saw only rented and didn't sell it."

Qiao Lan, "… That's the main reason, right?"

"It's not important." Tan Mo decided to skip the topic since it didn't matter how he got the house.

After dinner, they didn't have any classes in the evening, and tomorrow was the weekend. Qiao Lan didn't know where to go, so Tan Mo simply took Qiao Lan to see the house he rented.

The house was near the school.

Qiao Lan and the others were in the new school district. The old district was in the city center, and it was difficult to expand, so a new district was built.

The land price in the new district wasn't that expensive. The district was very big, and the surrounding district houses were built one after another. There were many houses to choose from, and they were all very new. The environment of the district was also very good.

Tan Mo wasn't familiar with the area, and Qiao Lan didn't know how he signed the rent contract and got the key. After looking at the address for a long time, they finally found a garden bungalow. It was seven stories high, and it blended harmoniously with the other high-rise buildings around it.

Tan Mo confirmed the room number and pulled Qiao Lan into the corridor. There were two units on each floor, and Tan Mo stopped on the right side of the first floor.

"The first floor?" Qiao Lan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Tan Mo to choose the first floor.

Tan Mo opened the door and said to Qiao Lan, "No, Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen live here. Aunt Chen likes to grow flowers."

A garden bungalow. The rooms on the first floor could best reflect the word garden. A small garden and an underground garage were indeed very suitable for older people to live in.

Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen lived quite well.

Qiao Lan was pleasantly surprised that Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen could also come. Qiao Lan didn't have any relatives since she was young, so she liked to be around people.

However, he didn't have the time to be happy. He was more puzzled.

The two-unit house on the first floor was really big. It was definitely more than one hundred and thirty-four square meters. There were only two bedrooms, but they came with their own bathroom. The area was very big.

"Aren't we living here?" Qiao Lan glanced at Liang Jian's bedroom. She couldn't tell which was the master bedroom and which was the second bedroom. After all, it was more than enough for everyone to live together.

Tan Mo pulled Qiao Lan out of the room. "We're not living here. We're living on the top floor."

After saying that, he paused and leaned close to Qiao Lan's ear and added, "It's not convenient to live with adults."

What's not convenient?

Qiao Lan subconsciously wanted to ask, but she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Qiao Lan was speechless. What else could be inconvenient?

But … But …

Alright, there was no 'but'. Qiao Lan felt that she was hopeless. Although she was a little embarrassed, she seemed to be looking forward to it.

Qiao Lan had forgotten the pain after the scar healed. Now that she was alive and kicking, she had already forgotten about the last time she rested on the bed for an entire day.

Tan Mo opened the window to ventilate the room. Then, he walked out with Qiao Lan and turned to walk towards the elevator.

He had spent a long time looking for this apartment. It was also because of this that he booked this apartment.

"The layout of the top floor is different from the bottom floor. There's a design that I like very much," Tan Mo said to Qiao Lan with sparkling eyes. Qiao Lan asked what it was. Tan Mo blinked. "I'm not telling you yet. You'll know when we go up."

The layout of the top floor was different from the rest of the floors.

After Qiao Lan went in, she felt that it was even more spacious. Perhaps it was because there was no furniture, so it seemed spacious. The decoration of the apartment was very good. It was very clean and exquisite, just like the model apartments in real estate.

Tan Mo told Qiao Lan that the owner of the apartment had originally renovated it for himself. However, because his child went to school, he moved to the school district near his child's school. This apartment had been left empty since then. There was an advertisement on it, but it had never been rented out, let alone sold. That was why it was so clean and new.

Qiao Lan thought that it would be a problem to rent it out.

The expenses of college students were not high. Usually, young couples would just rent an apartment that was enough for them to live in. After all, they had to save money. Who would rent such a big and expensive apartment?

Although Qiao Lan did not ask Tan Mo how much the rent of the apartment was, after looking at the apartment, she had a rough idea. After all, it was not cheap. Tan Mo was not very interested in the common furnishings on the first floor. He pulled Qiao Lan upstairs to look at the attic.

There was only one room in the attic, but there was also a small garden on the top floor. Qiao Lan thought that she could buy a treadmill or something to exercise here. Before Qiao Lan could say anything, she was pulled into the only room in the attic by Tan Mo.

As soon as she went in, Qiao Lan felt a little suffocated.

It was an empty house. There was nothing inside except for a very big round bathtub.

Tan Mo was obviously excited and happy. In fact, he had not seen the real thing. After seeing the picture, the owner of the apartment came to the school to ask him to sign the contract. Now that he had seen it, he found that it was better than he had expected.

Tan Mo remembered that the bathtub at the hotel last time was a little small.

He was really satisfied with this bathtub.

He hugged Qiao Lan in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Isn't it great?"

Qiao Lan was speechless.

She had underestimated Tan Mo's shamelessness again and again. What would Aunt Chen think when she saw this? Qiao Lan felt her scalp tingle when she thought about it.

"Is it …"

Qiao Lan struggled for a moment, "… Isn't it too exaggerated?"

"It's not exaggerated." Tan Mo shook his head without thinking. At the same time, he was thinking about the future, "When I graduate, I can buy a small open-air swimming pool …"

A swimming pool? You're still thinking about it? Qiao Lan covered his mouth, "What are you thinking about all day long?"

Tan Mo happened to kiss Qiao Lan's palm, "I'm thinking about you."

He wanted to earn more money to give her a better life. He wanted to buy a better house because he wanted to live happily with her. In the end, everything was related to Qiao Lan.

"Tomorrow, we'll go out and buy furniture and electrical appliances." Tan Mo pulled Qiao Lan down the attic and gave her a key. As they walked outside, he planned, "Let's buy a bed, a fridge, and other necessities first. We can buy more later. On Monday, I'll take you to the head teacher to apply for an off-campus house. Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen will probably come in a few days …"

Qiao Lan let Tan Mo hold her hand. As she listened to Tan Mo's long-winded words, the corners of her lips rose little by little.

She had been with Tan Mo for nine months. She had seen all of Tan Mo's progress and changes in her heart.

She watched the once lonely young man who only knew how to read and study become fond of smiling and talking. Although he was only like this in front of her, it was the truest expression of his true feelings.

Only the truest expression showed that he had made real progress.

He grew bit by bit. Slowly, he no longer needed her to take care of him. Slowly, he became more and more responsible. No matter whether it was a big or small matter, he was gradually becoming the person who could make decisions and make decisions for her and make her rely on him.

Thinking of this, Qiao Lan couldn't help but feel depressed. What was she doing in the past? Wasn't this the proof of his progress?

However, it seemed that she was really becoming more and more depraved.

After living for 20 years, she had always felt that it was better to rely on herself than on others. Therefore, she had to do what she could do. Although she wasn't strong, she didn't need to rely on others.

But now, she had completely depraved. Tan Mo was becoming better at taking care of people. She was enjoying being taken care of more and more.

Qiao Lan covered her face and despised herself for being "useless". Tan Mo pulled her hand away and asked her what was wrong.

"I feel that I'm becoming more and more useless." As if she didn't have hands, Qiao Lan blinked her eyes. "I don't have to do anything with you around."

Tan Mo became happier in an instant. He still felt that he hadn't done enough. He wished that Qiao Lan could be more "useless" so that he could leave more traces of himself in Qiao Lan's life.

At night, she went back to the dormitory to sleep. The next morning, she was awakened by Tan Mo's phone call. She was taken to buy furniture in a daze.

The beautiful lady from the furniture store casually asked them how many beds they wanted to buy. Qiao Lan originally wanted to say one bed, but then she thought that one bed might not be enough. If someone came to stay at their house occasionally, they would have to have a guest room or something. Moreover, if they quarreled, they would have to sleep in separate beds.

Although they hadn't really quarreled yet.

With this hesitation, Tan Mo beat her to it. Tan Mo didn't even need to think and said one bed. Qiao Lan thought for a while and said, "How about two …"

"Why?"

"If we quarreled, then …"

"Impossible, how could we quarrel?" Tan Mo shook his head decisively.

The sister who was selling furniture next to them was already married. When she heard this, she instantly laughed. Only young people who were in love could say something like this. How could a couple not quarrel when they were living together?

She also joined in with a smile and said, "Actually, it's indeed more convenient to buy two beds. In the future, your family will have a place to stay when they come over."

"They live downstairs." Tan Mo blocked the sister's words with one sentence. He grabbed Qiao Lan and Qiao Lan and explained why it was impossible.

"I'll listen to whatever you say, so it's impossible for us to quarrel. Even if we really quarrel, we're not allowed to sleep in separate beds. We'll just buy one bed!"

Qiao Lan: "… One bed, one bed."

I'll listen to you.

There's a sofa anyway!

Moving was such a tedious task, but Tan Mo solved it in a weekend. On Monday, after applying to their homeroom teacher, Qiao Lan and Tan Mo each treated their roommates to a meal on Monday afternoon as a farewell.

Tan Mo and the other boys were chatting in full swing. Their relationship was really good. Although Xie Hongyi disliked Tan Mo's public display of affection every day, she was still a little sad that she had to leave.

After being sad for a while, she felt that it was fine. She could see him in class anyway.

Kong Sha nodded and said, "That's good. I might have to move out in the future too."

Xie Hongyi: "Huh?

Why are you moving out?

Who are you moving out with? "

Kong Sha glanced at Xie Hongyi and continued to talk to Tan Mo as if he didn't hear him.

Qiao Lan's side was calm, but Liu Cancan was a little sad. Although they didn't have a deep relationship, when he thought about the two people left in the dormitory, one was elusive and the other was Roman, who quarreled every day, Qiao Lan, the only one who could communicate normally, was leaving.

Roman curiously kept asking Qiao Lan where his house was, and Liu Cancan unhappily asked her why she was asking.

"Aiya, if you have the chance in the future, you can go and play with Lan Lan."

Qiao Lan didn't plan to tell Roman, but after hearing her words, she felt that it was better to communicate less with this girl.

"Sigh, I'm really envious of you," Roman sighed. "When can I catch up with my senior?"

Qiao Lan thought about how Tan Mo was jealous of Ji Su and sincerely wished Roman well. "Good luck, you can definitely catch up with him."

"Thank you ~"

Roman's smile was very sweet.

Two days later, Ji Su sent a message to Roman and asked her to go to the club. Then, he asked Roman if Qiao Lan was there and asked her to bring her along.

Roman replied to Ji Su. [Senior, Lan Lan moved out with her boyfriend. I don't know where she is right now. Do you want me to go over first?

[Obedient.Jpg]]

After a long silence, Ji Su replied that the professor was looking for him and didn't have to come over for the time being.

[Okay.]

Roman was very disappointed, but still considerately expressed that the professor was more important.

Ji Su looked at the long-winded WeChat messages sent by Roman.

Back then, he specially transferred this girl over for Qiao Lan.

Now, he really regretted it.
