Sonata: Fleeing to Avoid an Arranged Marriage(Hiatus)

Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Apartment Rental — I will definitely not die in your apartment!

Xiao Gu silently sized up the woman in front of him.

A small white turtleneck sweater, luxuriant white muslin skirt, soft pink wool overcoat, and a pair of knee-high high-heeled boots.

Clad head-to-toe in famous brands.

On her face was delicate, light makeup, and her two round cheeks were flushed red from heavy physical exertion. At this moment, her red cheeks seemed to have been decorated with the perfect application of rouge.

Xiao Hu muttered to himself irresolutely before asking out loud, "Who told you I was renting my apartment?"

This low, bass voice was enchanting, truly captivating Mi Qing. She showed him the small advertisement in her hand and said, slightly out of breath, "This."

Xiao Gu lowered his head to look at the paper. His eyebrows rose slightly.

It really was his phone number on the advertisement, but he didnt remember when he had pinned this advertisement.

He inwardly thought this over and guessed what had happened.

"Are you renting? Im very sincere!" Mi Qing tightly clenched the small advertisement in her hand, as though she was grabbing onto a life-saving straw.

Xiao Gu raised his eyes to look at her. She was still incessantly gasping for air. Catching sight of her curled, chestnut-colored hair, she cut a sorry figure.

The corners of his mouth slightly moved as he asked, "You are not from here?"

Mi Qing nodded. "I came hereto try and find work, but I havent been able to find any. My money has also been stolen. If you dont rent me the apartment, I wont have anywhere to stay tonight."

She had said this with a pitiful and lovely voice. Xiao Gu listened to her words and knitted his brows. "Your money was stolen? Then do you still have enough money to pay the rent?"

Mi Qing:"...."

The only thing he cared about is this? Men of A City are indeed too cold!

She lightly tossed her hair to the side and exposed a smile to Xiao Gu. "I still have ¥300 left; isnt your apartment ¥299?"

Xiao Gu said, "The apartment is for three, so you need to pay four months worth of rent."

Mi Qing: "...."

She didnt bother to calculate how much money was four months rent; she wouldnt have been able to pay anyway.

Watching her sole hope shatter in front of her eyes, Mi Qing pleaded one last time. "Cant I just rent for one month? This is an emergency of life and death! I guarantee that I will very quickly find work!"1

Xiao Gu thought for a moment before he looked at her and said, "Show me your ID."

Mi Qings slim eyebrows, highlighted with eyebrow liner, twitched twice. Even though she was reluctant, she still withdrew her ID from her shoulder bag. "Take a look."

She tightly held the ID in her hand, clenching it as if she was afraid someone would snatch her candy.

Xiao Gu didnt say anything. He looked at the card in her hands for a while before he opened his mouth to ask, "Didnt you just say that you only had ¥300 on you? If I allow you to rent the apartment, before you find a job, how will you live? I dont provide food here."

Mi Qing:"...."

Faced with this pointed question, she choked. She put away her ID. "To be specific, I have ¥9.50"
