"You've been allocated a house by your work!? Are you going to be teaching staff?" His mother's voice was full of surprise, "You didn't take a bribe, did you? How could such good fortune come your way?"
"...It's not an allocation of a house, just a move to a single dormitory," Ren Suo explained exasperatingly to his mother: "That place might even be worse than Uncle's house."
"Hey, the house you rent from your uncle couldn't possibly compare to one allocated to you by the government; that's a reward for your own merit. Heh, being a civil servant and getting a house, you'd be considered a diamond bachelor..."
"Stop, stop, stop... By the way, have you practiced that breathing technique I taught you? Can you feel anything?"
