60: Can you get free rent by getting a leg massage?

"Ah, what?"

Xu Mufie asked in surprise.

Afterward, visibly, her face flushed.

Zhang Yu looked at her, knowing she was also recalling what had happened years ago.

That was before Xu Mufie moved out.

One day she came over to play.

At the time, no one else was home.

The two of them were watching a VCD disc on the top floor.

The disc had no label, and when it started playing...

A "Warning" notice popped up first.

They thought it was a Hong Kong action movie, the gunfight type.

But after playing for a while, they discovered it was... they were both stunned speechless.

They also felt hotter and hotter, and couldn't help but embrace.

Just as they were about to taste the forbidden fruit, someone returned.

So, the two quickly turned off the TV and pretended nothing had happened.

After that, they never had another chance to be alone together.

Until Xu Mufie's entire family moved away, this incident became a regret in her heart.

Now.

Zhang Yu brought the matter up again, and Xu Mufie couldn't handle it.

Psychologically, she was very willing.

But if she wasn't reserved, what would Zhang Yu think of her? He might think she had been very "open" these past few years.

"Zhang Yu, I—I've never been in a relationship. I'm not... ready yet..."

Xu Mufie grew nervous.

Back then, it was hormones they couldn't control.

Now, she still had some rationality left.

But she also knew that given Zhang Yu's immense help, it would be inappropriate not to show gratitude.

"How about, once I've thought it over, I'll call you?"

Xu Mufie asked cautiously.

"Haha, I was just joking. Don't be nervous."

Seeing her frightened expression, Zhang Yu quickly laughed.

After all, she was his first love from his youth, and he wasn't that desperate right now.

"Why don't you take me back?"

Zhang Yu changed the subject.

"Alright then..."

Hearing him say that, a sense of disappointment actually welled up in Xu Mufie's heart.

Was she not pretty enough?

If he had been a little more proactive, she was ready to reluctantly agree.

After all, she hadn't dated anyone for so many years.

Xu Mufie still harbored feelings for him.

Now, after meeting him twice, the flame suppressed deep in her heart was burning fiercely again... "Why hasn't the Landlord returned yet?"

"It's been so long. Did something happen to him?"

"Should we call him and ask where he is?"

Binjiang Mansion.

The three Flight Attendants were getting restless.

Zhang Yu left home around noon, and it was almost dark, yet he hadn't returned.

The car hadn't been driven away either.

Their separation anxiety was growing more severe.

Pan Yuyao had no interest in doing anything and was doing a "Ge You Slouch" on the sofa.

Di Xiaoba and Lu Hanxiao were ostensibly working in the kitchen, but they were also feeling uneasy.

Lu Hanxiao was so distracted that when cracking eggs, she accidentally threw away the yolks and whites and tossed the eggshells into the bowl instead.

Startled, she glanced back, relieved that the other two hadn't seen it.

Otherwise, they would surely laugh at her—a dignified Purser, who handles all sorts of situations calmly, yet can't even crack an egg properly.

"Look, the Landlord is back."

Di Xiaoba, who was on the balcony at the time, suddenly announced.

The few of them walked to the balcony and saw Zhang Yu getting out of a Mini car.

And that car immediately turned around and left the complex.

"The Landlord is so handsome!"

"He's 1.85 meters tall, and his figure is so imposing!"

Seeing Zhang Yu walking toward the house, the three couldn't help but be instantly captivated by his handsomeness once more.

All the anxiety they felt moments ago vanished instantly.

How could there be such a handsome person in the world?

He truly looks flawless from every angle, 360 degrees.

"I heard that tall people..."

Pan Yuyao stopped halfway through her sentence.

Finding Lu Hanxiao and Di Xiaoba staring at her, she said somewhat aggrievedly, "That's what they say online. Did I say something wrong?"

"How should I know!"

Lu Hanxiao and Di Xiaoba responded almost simultaneously to her question.

Then.

The two of them exchanged glances.

They seemed to read a hint of abnormality in each other's eyes.

Oh my god, this is too surreal.

But in front of the innocent-looking Pan Yuyao, they couldn't openly seek confirmation.

Just then.

The door opened, and Zhang Yu walked in.

"Landlord, you're back!"

Pan Yuyao stepped forward and asked.

"Zhang Yu, we're preparing dinner. What would you like to eat?"

Lu Hanxiao stepped forward and asked.

"Anything is fine. Whatever you're having."

Zhang Yu was still a bit surprised.

Did praising them at noon make them this proactive about cooking now?

If so, he would be blessed with delicious meals and could eat ready-made food from now on.

"How about we have hotpot? All the ingredients are ready."

"Sounds good. Let's have hotpot."

Zhang Yu said affably.

"But you can't have hotpot without alcohol."

He said, "There's Snow Beer in the fridge."

"I'll go get it!"

Pan Yuyao sprinted toward the double-door refrigerator.

"You shouldn't drink," Lu Hanxiao followed her.

"Sister Xiao, are you looking down on me?" Pan Yuyao was slightly indignant. "I can definitely handle two bottles of beer."

"We're just at home, not socializing for work. Just drink a little."

Di Xiaoba said.

If Yuyao drank too much, she might lose control of her mouth and God knows what kind of embarrassing scene she might cause.

Soon, dinner began.

An induction cooker sat in the center of the table, boiling soup.

Various ingredients were washed, sliced, and arranged in plates forming a circle.

"Come on, let's toast together!"

Zhang Yu raised his glass.

The three Flight Attendants also raised their glasses.

"Haven't you noticed? This moment, we truly feel like a loving family. I feel so happy!"

Pan Yuyao said cheerfully.

"I really hope things can stay like this forever!"

"Yuyao, are you drunk after just one glass?" Di Xiaoba tapped her. "We're spending tens of thousands on rent every month."

The implication was that she wasn't sure if the three sisters would still live together in the future.

Her own family burden was heavy.

While Sister Xiao's family was very wealthy.

On the surface, they didn't seem like they were cut from the same cloth.

Moreover, airline personnel turnover is high, and there has never been a precedent for long-term fixed crew assignments.

They might break up someday.

Thinking of this, Di Xiaoba felt a little sad, picked up her glass, and drank another one.

Zhang Yu heard this comment.

"As long as the three of you want to live here, you always can," he laughed. "As for the rent..."

When he mentioned the rent, all three perked up their ears.

"If you can handle the household chores, and give me leg massages and back rubs, then it can be waived!"

"Huh?" Pan Yuyao was stunned.
