Chapter 100
I bought takeout on the roadside and then dragged my suitcase towards the house I rented from Quentin.
The house he rented was located inside the village, and it took me three alleys to get there.
The houses were all simple and old–fashioned, with a maximum of only six or seven floors, so there were no elevators.
The room Quentin rented was 606. I looked up at it and took a deep breath, then walked into the hallway carrying my suitcase.
The box was heavy, and every time I went up a floor, I had to stop at the corner of the stairs and rest for a while.
When I reached the third floor, I was so exhausted that I couldn’t even stand up, leaning on my knees. Moreover, there were already injuries on my knees!
After resting for about ten minutes, I continued to climb up with the box in my hands.
Suddenly, someone behind me spoke to me, “Girl, let me help you.”
I was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look.
I saw a young person.
There was also a friendly aunt beside the young person.
The young man was tall and thin, with a dark complexion, and he looked quite energetic.

I shook my head busily and said, “No need, I can move it up by myself.”
Auntie smiled and said, “Let my son help you carry it up. We are all neighbors, and it is only right to help each other when we are away from home.”
“I really don’t need to, I…”
I wanted to decline, but the young person had already taken my suitcase and went up in a few steps.
The aunt smiled kindly at me and said, “It’s okay, my son is a kind- hearted person, he would often help new residents move their belongings.”
In the midst of the conversation, the young man at the corner of the fourth floor asked me, “Hey, girl, which floor do you live on?”
I pursed my lips and said, “Sixth floor.”
The aunt was instantly delighted and said, “That’s great! We also live on the sixth floor, so from now on we are really neighbors.”
“Oh, I see…
Actually, I was not good at communicating with strangers. Faced with Auntie’s joyful and kind smile, I also smiled along, “Then we can take care of each other in the future.”
“Ah, ah…”
Auntie nodded with joy and then said, “My son works at a
construction site nearby, young girl. Which factory do you work at?”
“What factory? What do you mean by factory?” I asked instinctively.

The young man in front immediately turned around and smiled at the aunt, saying, “Mom, don’t ask anymore. This girl’s temperament is clearly that of a white–collar worker in an office. It’s different from us.
“Really?” The auntie instantly looked at me with shining eyes and asked, “Little girl, what kind of job do you do? Where do you work? How did you come here to rent a house?”
Although the aunt looked friendly and enthusiastic, her enthusiasm was excessive, which made me feel a little uncomfortable and awkward.
I smiled at them and said, “Actually, I was just doing a regular job. The reason I rented a place here is because the rent is cheap.”
Oh.” The aunt forced a smile and didn’t ask any further.
The young man, with his strong physical strength, quickly lifted the suitcase for me.
When I dragged my tired and hungry body up to the sixth floor, the young man was waiting for me at the staircase: “Miss, which room are you in?”
“I… I was 606.”
Actually, I wanted to say that I would drag the luggage back by myself.
But after all, they helped me, and I couldn’t refuse their enthusiasm.
The young man, upon hearing this, immediately dragged his suitcase towards Room 606, occasionally turning back to say to me, “My mom and I live in Room 602, you can come to us if you need anything.”
“Okay, okay, thank you.”
When I arrived at the door of room 606, the young man looked at me

as if he was waiting for me to open the door, showing no intention of leaving.
I immediately felt a bit awkward, but I didn’t know what to say.
After a few seconds of hesitation, I took the suitcase and gratefully said
to him, “Thank you so much today. I will treat you and Auntie to a meal another day.”
“It’s nothing, just a small matter,” the young man said, looking at me, still showing no intention of leaving.
I immediately didn’t know what to do.
Not inviting him in would be awkward, standing here.
Open the door and let him in, but be afraid that he might be a bad
person.
