2 She Predicted His Prediction
“But what?”
“–I appreciate Sister Xue’er’s kindness.” Yan Meng’er took over the conversation, “However, I don’t want to be separated from Cousin. I’ll pass on moving in.”
“Ah? Sister Meng’er, you want to live with little brother Yan Zhen?”
Yan Meng’er nodded vigorously and let out an “Mm”.
“You two have such a good relationship…” Mi Xue’er looked regretful, “That’s really a pity. I wanted to spend more time with you. It seems I can only make do with Ruyu keeping me company.”
Mi Xue’er leaned towards Yan Ruyu, but the latter heartlessly pushed her away.
“Hmph, no need for you to make do. I’m also planning to move out to take care of them.”
“Ah???”
Mi Xue’er instantly straightened her back, looking at Yan Ruyu with incomparable shock, like a pet about to be abandoned by its owner.
“Ruyu, you’re moving out?”
“Yes, they’re still young. How can I feel at ease letting them live by themselves? As the elder sister, naturally I have to take care of them.”
“No, don’t.” Mi Xue’er cried out pitifully, “If you leave, what’s the point of me living here? With only me and Instructor Yu Xuan left, it’s too scary.”
“What are you saying? The instructor is so gentle. How is it scary?” Yan Ruyu gave her best friend a side-eye, “Silly girl, if Instructor Yu Xuan hears you bad-mouthing her behind her back, you won’t be able to get away with it.”
Mi Xue’er hugged Yan Ruyu’s arm, “Anyway, don’t move out, Ruyu. Can’t you just let Meng’er and Yan Zhen both live here? You can take care of them and also save on expenses. Why do you still need to move?”
Yan Ruyu’s heart stirred, but she still shook her head, “It’s not very convenient for Yan Zhen to live here.”
“What’s inconvenient about it? Your cousin is naturally my cousin too. Living together is very normal.”
“Don’t forget about Instructor Yu Xuan. She definitely won’t agree to men and women living together.”
Mi Xue’er put her hands on her hips, like a fat tiger, and snorted, “This is my house. Whoever I want to let live here can live here!”
Yan Ruyu scoffed disdainfully, “I hope you have the same backbone in front of Instructor Yu Xuan.”
“Instructor Yu Xuan isn’t an unreasonable person.” Mi Xue’er shrank her head and pouted her red lips, “Look, the side room here is still empty. It’s just right for Yan Zhen to live in. The four of us girls will live in the main house. The two sides are quite separate, so there’s no need to worry about men and women being different.”
“This…”
Hearing her say that, Yan Ruyu was indeed tempted. She wanted to live with Yan Zhen but also didn’t want to abandon her best friend (now that there was a man). If everyone could live together, it would indeed be perfect.
Yan Meng’er asked in surprise, “Sister Xue’er, can Cousin really live here?”
Mi Xue’er nodded, “Absolutely.”
“Then Meng’er will also stay with Cousin?”
“More than welcome.”
“Yay~ Sister Xue’er, you’re so nice!”
Yan Meng’er hugged Mi Xue’er, and the two happily embraced each other.
Yan Ruyu watched them speechlessly.
Yan Zhen originally didn’t want to interrupt the girls’ conversation, but hearing matters related to him being discussed more and more absurdly, he couldn’t help it anymore.
“Wait a minute! I won’t live with you guys. I want to live alone.”
If he lived with them, wouldn’t that deviate from the script? Absolutely not!
“Oh my, little brother Yan Zhen is shy!” Mi Xue’er covered her mouth and laughed, “Living alone is so boring. Living with your elder sisters is more lively. If something happens, it’s also convenient to take care of each other.”
Yan Meng’er took Yan Zhen’s hand and gently persuaded, “That’s right, Cousin. Meng’er won’t feel at ease with you alone. Meng’er must follow Cousin. Does Cousin dislike Meng’er again?”
Yan Ruyu also put on the air of an elder sister, “Living is living, no matter where. Since Xue’er allows you to live here too, just stay. What’s with the fussing!”
Three against one, Yan Zhen’s momentum instantly fell behind.
Moreover, from a realistic perspective, what they said indeed made sense. If he insisted on refusing, it would seem a bit ungrateful.
However, this didn’t match the script. Yan Zhen definitely wouldn’t agree.
“Ahem, I’ll just live in the mansion across the street. It’s close to here, so we can take care of each other, and there’s no need to be on guard about men and women, making everyone uncomfortable.”
Mi Xue’er blinked, a hint of craftiness flashing in her eyes, “The mansion across the street is occupied. I just rented it to a few familiar junior sisters a few days ago.”
What? Yan Zhen was stunned. Wasn’t the mansion across the street the empty house he found a week later?
Moreover, the landlord was a round-looking older woman with a keyring hanging from her waist, clearly a professional landlady.
When renting the house, the landlady, seeing that he was handsome, even said she wanted to introduce her niece studying at the Mystic Academy to him.
When did it become Mi Xue’er’s house? And it was rented to someone else. Where would he live?!
“Sister Xue’er, the mansion across the street is also yours?”
Not only Yan Zhen, but Yan Ruyu and Yan Meng’er were also surprised. Yan Ruyu had lived here for more than a year and had never heard that her best friend had another mansion. Yan Meng’er found that this didn’t match her memories from the previous life.
“Yes~ My family’s main business is real estate, including renting out mansions. Half of the mansions on this street are my family’s.”
Yan Zhen remembered that the script did mention that the Mi family was in real estate.
After the Mystic Academy was established in Silver Moon City, it attracted people from all over to settle down and rent houses. The value of land and mansions in Silver Moon City soared, especially in the area close to the Mystic Academy.
The Mi family benefited from this and made a fortune, leaping from a second-rate family to one of the few major families in Silver Moon City.
Wait, could that landlady be Mi Xue’er’s aunt or something? And the niece she wanted to introduce was Mi Xue’er?
Tsk, as expected of the script. The arrangement of this plot was too damn coincidental!
The key was that it wasn’t explicitly stated and required the reader to fill in the blanks themselves, the so-called “little easter egg”.
No, now wasn’t the time to sigh.
The mansion across the street had already been rented to someone else. Should he go find another place to live or stay here?
Which option was more in line with the script… System!
[Ding! System’s warm reminder: As long as the host lives on the same street as the relevant characters, it will be enough to trigger the subsequent plot.]
So that’s how it is. Are these small details within the scope of the system’s repair ability?
“Sister Xue’er, does your family have any other empty houses for rent?”
“At this time, the empty houses in the North City District are all rented out, not a single one left. Little brother Yan Zhen, just live with us. No need to be shy. Ruyu and Meng’er are both your clansmen. With them around, are you afraid I’ll eat you?”
“Then… I’ll reluctantly accept.”
He could only agree for now.
If he couldn’t rent a house, it would greatly affect the development of subsequent plots.
Moreover, the side room was quite far from the main house. Once the doors were closed, they were separate from each other. The effect was almost the same as living across the street.
“That’s more like it.” Mi Xue’er patted Yan Zhen’s shoulder, looking like a big sister. “Then let’s go to the side room first and set it up for you.”
“Thank you.”
The three girls swiftly helped him tidy up the room. Just as they were about to leave, Yan Meng’er suddenly said, “This room is quite big. Why don’t I just stay with Cousin–ouch, Elder Sister, let go of me.”
Yan Ruyu expressionlessly dragged away her mischievous younger cousin.
Walking at the back, Mi Xue’er waved her little hand at Yan Zhen and even gave him a wink before closing the door for him.
“See you later~”
