92: The value of 99 yuan is still rising

After dinner, the two went for a stroll outside for the first time in a while.

During the walk, Chen Xinyi generously mentioned that since she had made money from the face masks, she could treat Ye Su to a trip during the Labor Day holiday, but Ye Su rejected it without hesitation:

"I'd rather stay home and play on my phone for those five days than go out and get packed in with crowds."

"Fine then."

Hearing Ye Su put it that way, and thinking about how every holiday, major platforms are flooded with trending topics about "crowded conditions," Chen Xinyi simply gave up on this impromptu plan.

If nothing else, she could just wait until she quit her job and had plenty of time to go out and have a good time.

After soaking in the relaxed atmosphere of Guangzhou before the holiday, the two returned to the apartment.

After showering, the two were either joking around or bickering with each other.

Ye Su realized that wasting time in such a meaningless way actually seemed quite enjoyable.

Sure enough, you only live once; not everything has to have a deeper meaning, as long as you're happy.

When they lay together that night, Ye Su's hands inevitably became restless again.

"Stop messing around for a second, I have something to tell you."

"Alright, go ahead."

Ye Su remained unfazed, continuing to play with his stress-relief toy.

Chen Xinyi felt quite helpless about this, not understanding why men were so obsessed with this pair of things.

"Since you don't want to go traveling for Labor Day, then accompany me to look at some apartments."

Ye Su was a bit surprised: "You want to move?"

"Yeah, I want to find a place in a residential community."

When she lived alone, Chen Xinyi didn't mind; the studio apartment was comfortable enough, and everything inside was set up for living alone.

But now that Ye Su came over from time to time, Chen Xinyi thought it would be more comfortable to move into a residential community.

At the very least, residential communities have gas lines, making it more convenient for the two of them to cook.

Plus, the soundproofing in residential apartments should be better than in this studio...

Thinking of this, Chen Xinyi's pretty face flushed, and she couldn't help but turn her head, glancing at Ye Su out of the corner of her eye.

"Sure."

Anyway, he had nothing going on during Labor Day, and he would be living in the place they found too, so Ye Su didn't overthink it and agreed immediately:

"Do you need me to help you cover the rent?"

Ye Su wasn't stupid; he knew that Chen Xinyi suddenly wanting to move to a residential community definitely had to do with him.

Considering that Chen Xinyi was just a wage earner and it was much harder for her to make money than him, Ye Su took the initiative to offer to help her with the rent.

Given Ye Su's current situation, even if he spent another ten thousand yuan or so a month, he wouldn't feel a thing.

As for the house rented in Liwan Community, Ye Su definitely wouldn't bring anyone to live there.

When Chen Xinyi heard Ye Su offer to help with the rent, she felt a secret joy. She turned her head and looked flirtatiously at the man holding her in his arms:

"Oh, little man, you're quite thoughtful."

"What do you mean, 'little man'!"

Ye Su was immediately displeased:

"If the timing wasn't wrong, I'd show you right now what a 'big man' really is!"

Chen Xinyi instinctively wanted to retort, but realized she really couldn't refute that, so she could only sheepishly skip the topic:

"No need. This apartment is two thousand yuan a month, but water is five yuan per cubic meter, and electricity is one and a half yuan per kilowatt-hour.

Switching to a residential apartment, the rent might be higher, but I can save a lot on electricity in the summer, so it won't be too much more expensive. I can still afford it."

Considering transportation convenience, distance to work, the fact that it wouldn't be too far for Ye Su to come over from school, and that the two of them could live more comfortably, Chen Xinyi increased her rental budget to around three thousand yuan per month.

At her current income level, this was indeed a significant expense.

Fortunately, after being with Ye Su, between the paintings and the face masks, Ye Su had already helped her earn over sixty thousand yuan. This money alone was enough to pay more than a year's rent, which allowed Chen Xinyi to generously declare that she could pay for the rent by herself.

"Alright then." Ye Su didn't insist.

If he didn't need to share the rent, then whenever the intelligence refreshed with some money-making opportunities in the future, he could just bring Chen Xinyi along; it was the same thing.

"Alright, stop rubbing. If you keep rubbing, I won't be able to sleep!"

After they finished talking, seeing that Ye Su had no intention of stopping his hands, Chen Xinyi finally snapped.

"You don't understand, do you?" Ye Su said in an expert tone: "Rubbing it more promotes blood circulation, so your sleep quality will be a bit higher."

"Does your family sell baskets? You're so good at making things up!"

"Hey, don't disbelieve it." Ye Su let go of Chen Xinyi: "Lie down properly, and let this master prove it to you."

"Heh."

Chen Xinyi's face showed she was speechless, but her body was very honest; she lay down at Ye Su's urging.

Watching Ye Su's playful demeanor, Chen Xinyi realized she still couldn't quite figure this man out.

With antiques, gambling on stones, and doing business—when it came to these professional matters, he was as shrewd as an old fox.

But in private, he was like a slacker, a child with no sense of decorum.

Just as Chen Xinyi thought that it was because of their close relationship that Ye Su was revealing a childish side that matched his age...

Ye Su, looking like a charlatan, performed a gesture of channeling energy before placing his hands on Chen Xinyi.

"So ticklish—"

"Be serious."

Ye Su looked serious on the surface, but in his mind, he had already summoned the system: "Use [Sleep Aid Service] on Chen Xinyi."

"Fine, I believe you, okay? Stop messing around, let's sleep."

After humoring Ye Su a little, Chen Xinyi wanted to end the horseplay.

But suddenly, a wave of sleepiness hit her. Chen Xinyi couldn't help but yawn, blinked a few times, and then drifted off into dreamland.

Seeing that Chen Xinyi had fallen asleep, Ye Su didn't try to be funny anymore.

"Hey, wake up."

He pushed her a few times tentatively, but Chen Xinyi didn't react at all; her breathing remained steady.

"Damn, she fell asleep just like that. This skill is really awesome."

Testing the [Sleep Aid Service] on someone else for the first time, Ye Su was very satisfied with the results.

"Good thing I'm an upright gentleman. If some criminals got hold of this skill, wouldn't there be a bunch of victims every minute!"

Not to mention anything else, just take those thieves who break into houses in the middle of the night. If they had this skill, they could enter, check what the people inside looked like, and then cast the skill on everyone. Even if they emptied out the whole house, the owners wouldn't know a thing.

Immediately after, Ye Su thought that after being hit with [Sleep Aid Service], Chen Xinyi was sleeping so deeply that she didn't even react after being pushed a few times.

What if there was a fire or something? Wouldn't that be extremely dangerous!

Although the probability of such a thing was small, one only lives once, and Ye Su couldn't afford to be complacent.

Thinking this way, Ye Su instantly had concerns about [Sleep Aid Service].

[Detected that the Host has doubts about [Sleep Aid Service], now providing an explanation to the Host.]

[[Sleep Aid Service] comes with an Environmental Detection Service. Once it detects that surrounding people, events, or objects may pose a threat to the service recipient, the system will forcibly wake the service recipient from their deep sleep state (service fee is non-refundable).]

"It comes with an [Environmental Detection Service]? The value of 99 yuan just keeps rising!"

The system's explanation instantly dispelled the concerns that had just risen in Ye Su's mind.

As for the note about [service fee is non-refundable], Ye Su selectively chose to ignore it.
