"As soon as he got into the taxi, Han Yan began to feel conflicted."
Today, Song Zhiwen asked him to go with him to look at houses. This was mentioned during Qiqi's one-month birthday. Han Yan readily agreed. However, after carrying Qiqi out of the door, Han Yan remembered that he neglected one thing!
Two grown men carrying a baby girl to look at houses together! What was this?
Even if they were not looking at houses, what would others think if they went out with such a combination? China was not as open as the United States!
Han Yan remembered a funny video that he had seen in the United States before. The two buddies were wearing the same T-shirts with the words "We Are" and "Not Gay" written on them. They went shopping with their arms around each other's shoulders. Along the way, they attracted the attention of passersby. They thought that it was all due to their performance art. It was not until they walked to a shopping mall and stood in front of a full-length mirror that they realized that the word "not" was covered! The scene that followed made people not know whether to laugh or cry. They pulled the passersby on the road and explained that they were not gay. However, some passersby looked at them and said meaningfully, "I understand." (I understand.)
What a dilemma! Imagining the strange looks that might appear, Han Yan wished that he could find a hole to hide in.
When they arrived, Han Yan hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open and walking down.
From afar, Song Zhiwen saw Han Yan and waved at him. Han Yan also saw him and a girl beside him!
Could it be Song Zhiwen's new girlfriend?
Regardless, Han Yan let out a long sigh of relief. With a girl around, the situation would not be awkward.
Walking up to them, Song Zhiwen introduced them to each other.
"Kitten, this is my good brother Han Yan. You can call him Brother Han."
"Lao Yan, this is my girlfriend, Mao Zhuyun, nicknamed Little Cat."
Han Yan sized up Song Zhiwen's girlfriend. She was petite and looked quite cute. The only thing that stood out was that under her tight, low-cut T-shirt, her proud peaks were about to pop out. This was also Song Zhiwen's special taste for a long time, so Han Yan was not surprised.
The two of them greeted each other in a friendly manner, and Kitten's attention was attracted by Qiqi, who was in Han Yan's arms. She covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Ah! This little girl is so cute! It's so kawaii!"
As she spoke, she moved closer. Her heavy breasts made Han Yan feel a lot of pressure. He smiled bitterly and secretly gestured to Song Zhiwen, asking him to pull his big-breasted but brainless girlfriend away.
Walking behind them, Han Yan also heard Kitten acting coquettishly to Song Zhiwen, "Husband, grandpa! I also want a baby! It's so cute! "
Hearing her dragging out the word "husband," Han Yan couldn't help but snicker behind them. However, he secretly covered Qiqi's ears. He couldn't let Qiqi learn bad things!
Song Zhiwen advised her, "But giving birth will make your body fat! You won't look good if you become fat. "
"Yeah! But I really like babies. What do you think I should do? What should I do? " Kitten's coquettishness made Han Yan, who was eavesdropping behind, have goosebumps. He really didn't know how Song Zhiwen could stand it. However, this guy was probably enjoying himself.
It was just a small interlude. Under the guidance of the real estate agent, they quickly walked to the front of the apartment building.
This building was located in the upscale residential area of Jinli in the XC District. The residential environment was good, and there was even a small garden inside. There was a pool, a cobblestone corridor, and large patches of grass. According to the real estate agent, the residential area also provided a fitness club for residents. There was a swimming pool, a gym, a basketball court, and everything else.
Most of the houses in the residential area were sold. What Han Yan and the others wanted to see today was an additional upscale apartment building. The elevator went up to the fifth floor. The real estate agent opened the door and let Han Yan and the others in.
Their first impression was that it was beautiful!
The style was a mix of Chinese and European. It was simple but not simple. The fruit green wallpaper, the long white TV cabinet, the white fabric combination sofa, and the floor-to-ceiling windows made the living room particularly spacious and bright. Walking from the floor-to-ceiling windows to the balcony, they could see the lush green plants in the residential area.
The dining room and the living room were connected. The independent kitchen was equipped with a refrigerator that opened from top to bottom, but it didn't seem crowded. The integrated stove, cabinets, and sinks looked clean and tidy. Although there were no pots, bowls, ladles, and spoons, Han Yan was already eager to try.
The master bedroom was quite big, and the secondary bedroom was slightly smaller. However, the secondary bedroom had a circular floor-to-ceiling window. The low cabinet made of smooth tiles formed a long table that could lean against the wall and sit. It was a good place to read quietly!
Han Yan walked around and felt that the house was very good. He wanted to see if the price was suitable. If the price was acceptable, he suggested that Song Zhiwen rent it.
"I don't like this house very much." Before Han Yan could express his opinion, Song Zhiwen spoke after whispering with Kitten for a while.
Song Zhiwen and his girlfriend didn't like the small and fresh decoration of the living room. Moreover, they felt that two bedrooms and two living rooms were too big. For them, Kitten usually had to go home. Even if she came to have sex with Song Zhiwen, they wouldn't live in two separate houses!
After listening to their explanation, the agent understood. As an excellent real estate agent, he naturally had to work hard to find houses to match the needs of his clients. He took out the iPad from his backpack and opened the photo album. His fingers moved quickly, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "Mr. Song, according to your request, I found a house that matches you. I believe you will like it! And this house is on the fifth floor. Do you want to come with me to have a look? "
Since he was already here, it wouldn't be a waste of time to see one more, so Song Zhiwen agreed. The agent then made a phone call and asked his colleague to send the key over.
Before walking out of the house, Han Yan turned around and looked at the house again, deep in thought.
There were four rooms on the first floor of this apartment. The house that the agent mentioned was diagonally across the street. This one had one bedroom and one living room. There was no kitchen, and there was only one bathroom. But it was also very spacious, with a balcony and good lighting.
Song Zhiwen glanced at the two ball-shaped sofas in the middle that looked like deflated basketballs. Han Yan knew that he must be thinking, "How cool would it be if I could lie down and play TV games!" The ball-shaped sofas were matched with other oddly shaped furniture, and there were light tubes embedded in the wall. The whole living room had a sci-fi feel.
There was a rattan rocking chair that looked like a swing on the balcony, surrounded by several potted plants. Kitten saw it at first glance and jumped over with joy, curling up on the comfortable cushion of the rocking chair. As the rocking chair swayed gently, her light singing voice floated out from the green leaves of the potted plants.
"The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old with you slowly, collecting bits and pieces of laughter along the way, and sitting in the rocking chair and talking slowly in the future …"
Although it was a bit retarded, it had to be said that Kitten's voice was really nice. If there was an entertainment company to package and modify her, she might be able to become popular in the music industry.
Seeing that Song Zhiwen was interested, Han Yan smiled and discussed with him. After confirming that Song Zhiwen intended to rent this house, Han Yan pulled the agent aside to discuss the price.
Han Yan came from a trading company and learned a lot of negotiation skills. This agent had been in the real estate industry for many years and was also very good at raising prices with clients. This was a match for him. For more than ten minutes, the two of them were quoting classics and arguing back and forth.
In the end, the real estate agent smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I really can't win against you. I admit defeat. How about this, I won't ask for much. Let's just set the price at 1,500 yuan, okay? I really can't go any lower! "
Han Yan smiled and said, "This house is 50 square meters, and the one just now is 80 square meters. Both of them are 3,000 yuan. We'll pack them up and rent them together."
Song Zhiwen heard this and his eyes widened. He pulled Han Yan's sleeve. While they were bargaining, Han Yan signaled Song Zhiwen to talk later.
The agent's head was covered in sweat. He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you can't calculate the price like that. The one just now was almost 90 square meters! And it can't be compared! Our location is so good, and a 90 square meter house costs 3,000 yuan. "
Han Yan knew that the location was good. When he came just now, he also observed the nearby traffic. There was a bus at the entrance of Jinli District, and the subway station was 500 meters to the left. There were all kinds of large shopping malls and entertainment venues near the subway station. Without the agent's introduction, Han Yan knew that there must be a large-scale food market nearby. This place was only three stops away from Canton Tower. Standing on the balcony, one could see the new symbol of Guangzhou through the tall buildings.
Han Yan didn't care about the agent's previous offer of 3,000 yuan. The price was negotiated!
They talked for more than ten minutes and finally set the price at 4,000 yuan. Song Zhiwen's house was 1,400 yuan a month, and the one just now was 2,600 yuan a month. Han Yan also asked the agent to waive the property management fees for three months.
This price was very good. One must know that the two houses were luxuriously decorated. Apart from the appliances, all the other furniture was available. Moreover, they were in such a location. Han Yan really made a profit.
Seeing that the rental contract was about to be signed, Song Zhiwen, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask, "Lao Guo, who are you renting that house for?"
Han Yan smiled and said, "I'm living alone! Why? You don't welcome me to live across from you? "
"Why wouldn't you be welcome? I couldn't ask for more! " Song Zhiwen excitedly punched Han Yan and said, "In the future, it'll be more convenient for us to play games at night! I can also go to your house to eat and drink, haha! "
"You're always welcome, haha." Han Yan also laughed.
That's right. After looking at the house before, Han Yan felt that the decoration of the house was tailor-made for him! He liked the fresh color of the room, the layout of the kitchen, and the scenery of the balcony. He also wanted to sit on the big window of the guest room and read while leaning against the slanting sun.
2,600 yuan for rent, in the past Han Yan's eyes, would be an expensive expense. It was a complete waste of money. But now it was different. Han Yan didn't lack money. He could earn 2,600 yuan in a day. Since that was the case, why not change to a more comfortable environment for himself and Qiqi?
Even in his previous rented house, Han Yan had thought about it. Didn't his junior sister, Duan Xueqing, ask him to help her find a house? What other house could be better than his? It was convenient, close to her workplace, cheap rent, and spacious. Most importantly, the nearby public security environment was very good. This was the most suitable place for a single girl!
Han Yan's choice could be said to be killing two birds with one stone, or even three birds with one stone!
Originally, when Song Zhiwen acted first and reported later, Han Yan was still scratching his head about how to tell his godparents. But now it was easy. With Han Yan living across from Song Zhiwen, Han Yan believed that Song Chunfang and the rest would never scold him. Instead, they would give him the green light and readily agree."
