"Thank you so much, Brother Lan! You're so kind!"
Summer's anxiety finally subsided, and she quickly patted her chest to assure him, "I'll go help you pack your things right away."
Lan Tianyu did not refuse and casually said:
"I don't have much to move, you can just change my sheets and blankets."
Xia Tian nodded eagerly: "Okay, I'll go change right away!"
Fearing that Lan Tianyu might change his mind, he immediately rushed upstairs like a gust of wind to pack up.
Seeing this, Ye Siren's eyes darted around, and he quietly moved closer to Xiong Ge.
He lowered his voice, his tone carrying a hint of flattery and probing:
"Xiong, if you can let a girl you just met move in, does that mean I can move in too...?"
He rubbed his hands together, his meaning clear.
Upon hearing this, Xiong Ge paused, turned around abruptly, and glared coldly at Ye Siren.
"Ye the Dead, you listen to me!"
"I'm already being lenient by letting you into this house and not kicking you out right now, out of consideration for the children. Don't push your luck!"
"Want to move back in? Sure! We'll talk again once you've paid off your five million!"
Xiong Ge's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable firmness.
five million!
These three words were like three mountains, instantly pressing down on Ye Siren's shoulders.
The hopeful smile on his face vanished without a trace.
This sum of money is an astronomical figure for him, who is now almost penniless.
Without a truly extraordinary opportunity, I'm afraid I'll never be able to pay it back in this lifetime...
He opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
He knew that Xiong Ge was right.
He was out of his mind and stole the property certificate to mortgage it.
In order to save his family, Xiong Ge scraped together money from all sides, and may have even had to beg others to raise the five million to redeem the property certificate.
He should indeed bear this debt alone.
He sighed dejectedly, walked silently to the side, and said nothing more.
At this moment, Xia Yu came out of the kitchen carrying a stack of washed dishes and chopsticks.
Xiong Ge immediately put away his cold expression towards Ye Siren and stepped forward to help.
Seeing this, Ye Siren also wanted to show off, so he quickly went over to lend a hand and curry favor.
Lan Tianyu witnessed everything but made no comment.
His gaze swept across the living room and he noticed that Han was suddenly standing alone a little distance away, her expression indifferent, as if nothing around her concerned her.
Aren't you going to eat?
Lan Tianyu walked over and casually asked.
Han pursed her pink lips, her cool gaze looking elsewhere, and said in a flat tone, "I'm not hungry right now."
However, she had barely finished speaking...
"Gululu..."
A very faint, yet clearly audible rumbling sound came from her abdomen, quite inopportunely.
The sound wasn't loud, but in the relatively quiet living room, it was enough for Lan Tianyu, who was standing right next to him, to hear it clearly.
Lan Tianyu raised an eyebrow, a playful smile appearing on his face, his gaze mischievously fixed on Han's profile, which had instantly frozen in place.
"His words are certainly stubborn, but his actions tell a different story."
"..."
Han was speechless and choked with sobs. Her usually cold and aloof face turned bright red at a visible speed, the redness spreading all the way to her ears.
She wished she could disappear on the spot or find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
This is even more humiliating than being forced to dance before.
Lan Tianyu looked at Han's shameful and indignant yet forced composure, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Knowing that further teasing would inevitably provoke the other party to a fit of rage, he instead offered a more pragmatic suggestion.
【158】Longing!
Lan Tianyu knew that if he continued teasing the other party, they would inevitably lose their temper, so he offered a more practical suggestion instead.
"Since you'll be living here anyway, why not pay some for food? That way you can eat with everyone legitimately."
Upon hearing this, Han unconsciously clasped her hands together, her knuckles turning slightly white, and lowered her voice, tinged with embarrassment:
"I only have enough money to pay rent; I don't have any extra for food."
Lan Tianyu understood immediately; no wonder he had been so stubborn earlier…
Although it was only their second meeting, he understood the personality of this type of person.
A strong-willed person would definitely not accept charity from others.
After a moment's thought, he offered a compromise:
"How about this, I'll lend you the money for food first."
"You can pay me back when you earn money from working in the future."
This method solved her practical problem while preserving her self-esteem.
Han lowered his head and remained silent for a few seconds.
Considering that I have already embarrassed myself in front of someone repeatedly, and that I am not worried about having too much debt, it doesn't seem so hard to accept borrowing a little more money?
Moreover, this is indeed the most dignified solution.
"Okay, thank you. I will definitely pay you back when I make money."
Han's voice was barely audible, carrying a hint of resignation.
"Not urgent."
Lan Tianyu waved his hand dismissively.
Just then, Summer rushed down the stairs like a gust of wind, her face full of excitement and anticipation, and ran to Han:
"Han, the room has been changed. Do you want to go up and take a look now?"
Han took a deep breath, regaining her usual aloof expression, and nodded slightly to Xia Tian:
"Okay, then please lead the way, I'll go take a look."
"No trouble, no trouble!"
Xia Tian immediately waved her hand with a silly grin and eagerly led the way, "This way!"
Han stopped looking at Lan Tianyu and silently followed Xia Tian upstairs again.
Lan Tianyu shook his head. With Xia Tian's mindset of only knowing how to give, he was afraid it would be difficult for her to win Han's heart.
However, this was none of his business, so he turned and walked towards Xia Yu.
"Xia Yu, from now on, Han's food expenses will be deducted from my rent."
Lan Tianyu's voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough.
Xia Yu didn't stop what he was doing, but he looked up at Lan Tianyu.
He overheard most of the conversation between the people in the living room at the kitchen door.
Although he was somewhat surprised, it was Lan Tianyu's own decision, so he naturally wouldn't ask any further questions.
"Okay, got it."
Xia Yu nodded calmly, indicating that he understood.
Lan Tianyu said no more, walked to the dining table, and casually sat down in a seat.
He picked up his chopsticks and played with them listlessly, waiting for the meal to be served.
Before long, Xia Tian and Han came downstairs.
Han's gaze swept across the restaurant, and she saw Lan Tianyu sitting there casually, so she paused slightly.
He then walked over very naturally and sat down in the empty seat next to him.
Soon, all the dishes were placed on the table.
The dinner atmosphere proceeded relatively harmoniously thanks to Ye Siren's careful efforts to liven things up.
After Lan Tianyu finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and casually said to everyone, "I'm done eating. Please enjoy your meal."
After saying that, he got up and left his seat, heading straight to the second floor.
Seeing this, Han silently put down her chopsticks, stood up, and followed Lan Tianyu upstairs.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Lan Tianyu assumed that Han had finished eating and wanted to go back to his room, and didn't think much of it.
He walked to the door of the bedroom that originally belonged to summer, but now temporarily belonged to him.
He pushed the door open, went in, and then closed it behind him.
What he didn't know was that Han didn't immediately go into the training room.
She stood in the second-floor corridor, her gaze lingering on the door that Lan Tianyu had just closed for several seconds.
The dim lighting in the corridor cast a faint shadow on her cool profile, her eyes revealing a complex and unfathomable expression.
A moment later, she turned around, pushed open the door to the rehearsal room, and went inside.
inside the room.
Lan Tianyu looked around at the space, which was much more spacious than the training room.
The room was fully furnished with a bed, desk, and wardrobe, making it much more comfortable.
However, the only drawback is that, like the rehearsal room, there is no private bathroom; you have to go downstairs to shower.
He didn't seem to care much about it.
He walked to the bedside, sat cross-legged, and with a thought, took out the simple sandalwood box that Jiu Wu had given him from his storage ring.
Open the lid.
The crystal-clear, fragrant Qi-boosting pill, which exudes a refreshing aroma, is now lying quietly on the velvet cushion.
"I wonder how effective it will be..."
Lan Tianyu murmured to himself, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
Without thinking, he picked up the pill and put it directly into his mouth.
The pill melted instantly in his mouth, transforming into a vast and pure warm current that surged into his dantian like a burst dam.
"Well!"
Even with Lan Tianyu's cultivation level, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
The potency of this medicine far exceeded his expectations, but the only drawback was that the quantity was not very large.
He immediately calmed his mind, closed his eyes, and focused all his energy on circulating his internal energy.
A powerful will guided the medicinal power to surge through the eight extraordinary meridians, refining and absorbing it bit by bit, integrating it into one's own internal energy.
An invisible ripple began to spread throughout the room, and the air seemed to thicken.
Driven by the powerful medicinal force, Lan Tianyu's aura began to rise at an astonishing speed.
Once fully refined, its combat power index soared.
