Resettlement in Shanghai

Chapter 76 Resettlement in Shanghai

Before long, the bullet train arrived at the Shanghai Railway Station.

Although this was my second time visiting Shanghai, its vibrant and diverse charm was still captivating.

Having grown up in a small city like Bocheng, Xinxia had never seen such a scene before. Her face flushed with excitement, like a red apple, and of course, there was also some barely perceptible fear.

It's normal to have this kind of reaction when you first arrive in an unfamiliar environment.

"Xinxia, ​​this place will be our home from now on!" Ling Tianyu said with some emotion.

"Brother Tianyu, it seems like we're heading in the wrong direction from the resettlement housing." Xinxia had done her research beforehand and realized that the two of them were heading in the opposite direction from the resettlement housing.

"The resettlement housing, that place... let's not talk about it!"

Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, just from the description of the resettlement housing in the original work, I know that it must not be a good place.

The construction was shoddy; living there felt like living in a slightly larger box, quite oppressive, and it's two hours from the city center...

These descriptions made Ling Tianyu keep his distance from him.

After all, these are resettlement houses; how good can the environment be?

Although Ye Xinxia wasn't picky about where she lived, Ling Tianyu couldn't bear to let his little angel live in this awful place. Anyway, he still had some savings, so renting a house or even buying one wasn't out of the question!

Therefore, several days ago, as soon as communications in Bocheng were restored, Ling Tianyu contacted Lingling and asked her to help him identify some houses in the city center that were openly rented or for sale. He had two requirements: first, they should be close to the two campuses of Mingzhu Academy for easy access to school in the future; second, the living environment should be beautiful and the sanitation should be good. He didn't want the house to be next to a busy highway, where he wouldn't be able to find peace of mind for meditation.

Ling Tianyu has never dealt with these things before, so he's likely to be easily fooled. He'll have to rely on Lingling, a local, to help him out.

Anyway, Lingling was quite happy to accept it. After all, as long as she didn't have to go to school, she would accept almost anything else.

"Xinxia, ​​I can't bear to let you live in the resettlement house. I have a helper here in Shanghai. Just watch him later!" Ling Tianyu said, rubbing Xinxia's little face. Hmm, it feels nice.

"?"

Xinxia was puzzled. When did Brother Tianyu have a friend in Shanghai? He's becoming more and more mysterious!

…………

"This is the place!" Following the phone's navigation, Ling Tianyu led Ye Xinxia to a luxuriously decorated upscale apartment complex.

This residential complex is not only impeccably decorated, but also has a tranquil artificial lake park nearby. It is a perfect place for Xin Xia, who naturally loves peace and quiet, or for Ling Tianyu, who needs a forest environment for cultivation.

Especially at night, when the lake surface glistens and the moonlight shines down, the atmosphere is simply breathtaking!

"Jinyuan Apartments?" Ling Tianyu looked up and saw the luxuriously decorated plaque in front of him, with the large gold characters particularly eye-catching.

Isn't this the place where Mo Fan, Mu Nujiao, and Ai Tutu shared an apartment in the original novel? What a coincidence!

Generally speaking, the security in such high-end residential areas is quite good. When Ling Tianyu pushed Ye Xinxia to the entrance, they were stopped by an old security guard.

"Young man, this isn't a place you can just walk into. You'd better leave now!" the security guard kindly reminded him.

"Oh, sir, I'm here to rent a room. I've already contacted them. My name is Ling Tianyu!" Ling Tianyu replied.

"Ling Tianyu, there seems to be a record!" The security guard seemed to have a bad memory. He pulled out a small booklet, looked around, nodded, and said, "It's you! Go in!"

…………

The landlady was quite kind. Ling Tianyu couldn't help but think of the aunt who had sold him the Blood Vine Armor before. He wondered how she was doing after the disaster in Bo City.

"You're here. Take a look at this house. We've already discussed the price. If there are no problems, let's sign the contract!"

Ling Tianyu stepped inside, looked around, and nodded in satisfaction.

The apartment is very large and the decoration is exquisite, showing that care was taken. The overall structure is a duplex. The floor of the lobby is covered with a carpet of some kind, which feels especially comfortable to walk on after taking off your shoes and socks, like walking on clouds.

The entrance hall leads to a suspended balcony almost the same size as the room, complete with a lounge chair, parasol, and bookshelf. In fact, Ling Tianyu had only ever seen such a luxurious room on television since his previous life.

The balcony is already outrageous enough, but the living room is just as luxurious, with a crescent-shaped hall, an oversized wall-mounted TV, an Italian-style light luxury sofa, and a chandelier that is simple yet grand...

The total price of all the furniture mentioned above will not be less than six figures!

That wasn't all. Ling Tianyu's gaze fell on the Western-style lounge and kitchen to the side...

Is this something you'd expect in an apartment?!

Ling Tianyu believed you when you said it was a small villa!

Those wicked rich people! Their living conditions here are so much better than their own homes.

Oh? So I'm rich too. Never mind then!

Thinking about this, Ling Tianyu thought of the furniture still lying in his personal space. Compared with the similar items in front of him that looked quite valuable, cough cough, they were completely insignificant!

It's worth mentioning that the building also has its own elevator, so if Ye Xinxia wants to go out for a stroll when she's not home, getting around isn't a problem.

As for the rooms, they were all upstairs, and Ling Tianyu couldn't even imagine what they were like inside!

As for Ye Xinxia, ​​her lips were already parted into an "o" shape, looking incredibly cute. Coming from a poor background, she had never seen such a luxurious place before, and while she was shocked, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Young man, are you satisfied with this place?" the aunt asked kindly.

Ling Tianyu didn't answer immediately, but instead asked Ye Xinxia, ​​"Do you like this place?"

"I do like it, but it's too..." Before Ye Xinxia could finish speaking, Ling Tianyu interrupted her.

"If you like it, money isn't an issue. While training resources are important for magicians, doesn't a suitable environment also contribute to the quality of training?"

Ling Tianyu offered words of comfort, then turned to look at the landlady.

"Okay, this is fine. Is it okay to prepay a year's rent?"

"No problem!" The aunt was a straightforward person and completed the handover procedures directly.

Isn't this house in better condition than the meager resettlement housing provided by the government?

"Actually, you could find a few more people to share the apartment. After all, the rent for this apartment is quite high, and there are many rooms. It would be a waste for just you and your girlfriend to live here. Sharing would reduce the financial burden," the aunt kindly suggested.

Upon hearing the word "girlfriend," Ye Xinxia's earlobes turned slightly pink, but she did not object. In any case, they were already well aware of their relationship.

"Thank you, Auntie. I'll consider it later!" Ling Tianyu's original intention was to rent an apartment by himself, otherwise it would be inconvenient to do anything with other people around!

………………

"Brother Tianyu, isn't it a waste for us to stay here?" Ye Xinxia asked timidly after the landlady left.

"It's fine, it's more convenient to do anything in a bigger space, and no one will bother us!" Ling Tianyu shrugged. He didn't want any third wheel around when he was trying to connect with Xin Xia!

After resolving their housing issue, Ling Tianyu and Xin Xia each found a room to unpack their personal belongings and officially began their life in Shanghai!
