Teresa won't starve

Sitting on a visitor's bench in the park, watching the sunset gradually fall, leaving behind the red clouds.Teresa jumped off the chair dangling from her calf and walked towards the last shared room tonight.

If not, she can only go to the hotel to sleep.

1010 "Educated"

Since Teresa hasn't bought a mobile phone yet, there is no map of the world in the smartphone.She didn't know anything about the landmarks of Canghai City, so she didn't go to the bus to throw coins in order to avoid getting lost.

Instead, I choose to walk, use my own eyes to distinguish and remember, and look for the rented house I saw on the map in the agency.

After walking to a similar location, Teresa realized that she had entered a community, not a high-end apartment like before.

But consider that it may be cheaper because of this.

I just hope it's not the kind of 'small house' where the bedroom is no longer than two meters and the toilet and kitchen are together.

......

While Teresa was still watching downstairs, she was considering whether to go up to see the environment - after all, she didn't call and make an appointment with the agency, so it seemed a bit inappropriate to go directly.

That's why the girl standing at the door of this building, using a sprinkler to 'water' (note) the flowers in the flower bed, noticed this little girl who didn't hurry home for dinner even though it was getting dark tomorrow.

Of course, she only took a few extra glances at first.

After all, children of this age are more lively and active, and they are also very rebellious. It is normal for them not to go home for dinner on time - but in this way, it is estimated that her parents will find her soon.

Then there will be a good show...

The girl couldn't help thinking gloatingly, and couldn't help but glance at her again.

Then look again after a few seconds.

And then--

"..."

After watching it a few times, the girl felt something was wrong with herself.

Although the little girl's hair is silver-white, a hair color that people in China like very much but rarely seen; but it is not this reason that really attracts the girl, but she thinks the little girl looks familiar, but she can't remember where she saw it. (not what you think)

"What are you looking at?"

Not to mention that Teresa is not a slow-responsive patient, even if she is—after being seen so many times, she should have noticed the abnormality of the other party, so she walked over and asked.

But because of this, the girl saw her face: Sure enough, she was someone she met somewhere!

"That's it."

But first of all, this matter is indeed her fault, so the girl still needs to explain: "I seem to have seen you, but I can't remember where I saw you."

"People who know me?"

Teresa looked at the girl carefully. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with black hair and a rather delicate face.

more importantly--

Although the young lady I met before also had black hair, she obviously didn't have the same face as the one in front of her, so Teresa finally came up with a clear answer: "What age is this and still use that old-fashioned way of striking up a conversation?"

"Acquaintance..."

The girl was left speechless by Teresa's words.

But I have to admit that if I put this matter on myself... she would probably think that she was accosted by others, and it would be very uncomfortable.

Simply, the girl stopped thinking about this question: "Let's not talk about it now. Are you still going home so late? Don't your parents worry about you?"

"Mom and Dad..."

This is a heavy topic.

But Teresa just turned around in her mind and stopped caring about it: "I'm already independent and can take care of myself."

"Are you trying to say you're an adult?"

The girl who has gone through the rebellious period feels that she can understand her thoughts, because she was like this at that time.

She felt that she was independent and an adult, only to find out after being exposed to the adult world...she was still a child!

"I didn't say that."

Despite her real age... Teresa still feels like she's only 12 years old.

Is 12 years old considered an adult?

"Then let me put it another way."

The girl motioned her to look at the already dark sky: "Do you think that if you don't go home at night, you can be considered independent and can take care of yourself?"

"of course not."

Although Teresa didn't deny it, the girl still felt that she was being stubborn with her, so she continued to say what she thought was correct: "Don't blame me for talking too much, I also came from your age. I know you don't like being controlled by the family, then It's just a way they love you, if you don't like it, you can communicate, and many things are deadlocked because of lack of communication."

"I'm really not..."

Teresa felt dumbfounded.

Isn't she just here to find a place to live?How did you meet such a familiar chatterbox?

1011 "Amount of food is power"

To put it bluntly, Teresa explained to her that she was not what she thought at all.

"really?"

The girl had a look of 'Don't lie to me'.

"really!"

"......All right."

Only then did the girl reluctantly believe her for a while, but only she herself knew how much she believed.

It wasn't until this that Teresa breathed a sigh of relief...

anyway.

Why would she explain such things to strangers?

Fortunately, the explanation was not in vain, because during the process of explaining, Teresa also told her about her troubles.

Although this also made the girl even more suspicious of whether she was running away from home...

"If you share a room..."

The girl didn't notice that the hand had just turned over the flowers, so she put it on her lips and thought: "I don't seem to have a shared house here, do you remember it wrong?"

"Impossible. My memory is still guaranteed."

So far, there are not many things that Teresa can forget. She will not forget the things she experienced not long ago like a goldfish: "What I saw at the agency is that there is a shared house here."

The girl looked back in the direction of Theresa's finger, and found that she happened to live in the same doorway as herself.

Logically speaking, she should know who is renting a house on her side.

But she has never heard of anyone renting or selling a house!

If you have to say that there is such a thing...

She, like, probably...

Um......

The girl vaguely remembered one thing——

Because she didn't want to work part-time, she thought about renting out the empty room, so that she only needs to collect some rent every month.

After all, she has not yet graduated, and she can't make much money as a temporary worker, so she might as well just lie down at home and count the money.

It was only later that I considered that my room was not big, and the doors of the two rooms did not have that kind of anti-theft lock, and if it was a stranger...even if it was the same sex, it would be very inconvenient.

So I just posted it on the intermediary website in the morning, but it was taken off the shelf by the girl in the afternoon...

So much so that the girls forgot about it...

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere became inexplicably awkward.

"That, you—"

The girl nodded embarrassingly: "Do you want to live with me?"

"--let me consider it."

Teresa didn't immediately agree.

The main reason is that she thinks that the other party's idiot attributes will be transmitted to her, so that the world's most intelligent Teresa will become the world's most idiot?

"Then, do you have somewhere else to go?"

There are already street lights on the street outside, which also means that it is night time, and it is time for everyone to go home for dinner and rest. It is also the most unsuitable time for single girls to wander outside.

Teresa nodded without hiding anything: "I can go to a hotel."

"Well, it's not good for a girl to stay in a hotel alone, right?"

"Isn't it all the same to lock the door? What's more—"

Teresa glanced at the lucky girl who was still hugging her face, and without hesitation gave her a fatal blow that could not be refuted: "Is it okay to live in a stranger's house?"

"...That's what I said."

Although they are both girls... But she really couldn't refute her words.

After all, people's hearts are separated by belly, who can guess whether the other party has any careful thoughts?

"..."

Teresa stood with her hands on her waist for a while, looking at the bewildered girl stared at by her, that flustered look was inexplicably cute?

So I thought about it and said, "If you rent it out, how much do you think is the most suitable monthly income?"

"Eh? Rent it out?"

The girl who couldn't turn her head around didn't realize Teresa's intentions, and instinctively followed Teresa's words and said: "If you think about it seriously... three thousand? It seems too expensive? Why don't you just pay a symbolic amount—five hundred?"

"Then if you are responsible for the water, electricity and room bills, and the food and beverage expenses for every meal, how much will you pay every month?"

"How can anyone rent a house like this!?"

The girl had never heard of this kind of rental method, so she couldn't help asking loudly; but then she reacted, with obvious hesitation on her face: "You, are you going to come and live? I can't Collect your rent!"

joke!

Collect the rent of such a big kid, wait for the next life!

"But you think—"

However, Teresa did not agree, because it would make her feel more indebted, so she reasoned with her: "Is it appropriate for one more person to eat, drink, and live with you for free?"

"Uh......"

It has to be said that Teresa's question hit the point.

If it was changed to before, she would definitely agree, but now even she herself is living a tight life every month, and how can she afford the daily needs of another person.

However, due to her status as an elderly person, the girl had to suppress most of her worries and ask the question she wanted to know the most: "Are you, can you eat well?"

Although this child looks small with small arms and legs, who can guarantee that she is not a big eater?

1012 "Finally no need to sleep on the street"

"What do you think?"

"..."

The girl looked at Teresa's small body, and compared herself; she weighed the difference in appetite between the two in her mind, and finally she could only shake her head to express her ignorance.

"So would you like to consider my suggestion?"

Teresa repeated the previous conditions again: "What to eat every day, how much money to spend, and where to eat, you don't need to intervene in these, just leave it to me. You only need to waive the water, electricity and room bills for me."
