Chapter 4: Enemy

It’s hard to imagine that Yan Heng was able to rent such a good apartment, located close to the hospital. This community was relatively new and occupied the downtown area, and according to the housing prices of B City, it’s not cheap. Moreover, majority of the houses are for sale, how could it be for rent? Yisheng entered the room, feeling strange. A two bedroom apartment, decorated brand new, even the home furnis.h.i.+ngs 一 really can’t see if it’s for rent. Yisheng asked: “Elder Brother, is this house actuallyyours?”

Yan Heng stared at Yisheng, then hurriedly waved his hand, “How can I, a great personlike me, live in such a small house?“

The layout was exactly like a studio apartment. Yisheng watches around, eyes rapidlylooking at every corner of the room, failing to find any clues. Perhaps she’s overthinking the situation. She says to Yan Heng: “Thank you, Elder Brother, I’ll give you back the monthly rent.”

“Little girl, do you want to argue with me?” Said Yan Heng and started rubbingher plush soft hair, in a spoiling manner. Yisheng giggled foolishly. This action was a special sign of affection between the two of them.

Yan Heng helped with tidying up, and it was three o’clock in the afternoon by the time they finished. Yisheng felt bad that he had to help, moreover it’s the middle of summer, and it’s somewhat hot.

“Elder Brother, let me treat you to dinner.”

Yan Heng, who had just finished with work, wiped off the sweat on his forehead, while panting: “Good, I want a big meal.“

Yisheng had a smile on her face, but she felt nervous, and her face was rigid: “Don’t hesitate to eat a lot, I’m paying.”

“Very good, very good, I’ll take you to a place with good food.”

Delicious food is very expensive. Yisheng silently cried as she thought of her wallet, which seemed almost weightless. Hey, to hit that fat face, suffer ah. They strolled around the community, down the bustling streets.

The two people walked all the way north, not stopping to take a breath as they talked the whole time.

“This district is close to the hospital, about 15 minutes away. If you happen to get up late in the morning, on the way to work there will be places selling breakfast.” Yan Heng said, pointing to a whole street filled with restaurants, and Yisheng was dazzled by the sight.

“That neighborhood is a newly developed residential area, where you can buy the properties at an extremely high price.” He also pointed towards a neighborhood they pa.s.sed by. Yisheng glanced at the residential doors for a few minutes, the gates were larger than her university’s entrance, and written on marble was “Liang Tian Xiao Qu.” There were huge sculptures by the gate, accompanied by a fountain… it was only the entrance yet to spend so much, one could only imagine how luxurious the insides were. You could even see the imported cars, holy cow!

“I live in unit 3, building c, room 401, you have to remember.” Yan Heng added.

Yisheng snorted, giving him a look, “Elder Brother! Rich, but not n.o.ble!”

Yan Heng laughed, stopped to hug her and leaned close to her ear, “Did you not know, the more gold, the more blessings?”

Yisheng pinched his arm, “Go to h.e.l.l.” The force she implemented immediately made Yan Heng’s soft white hands turn red in pain, making him hiss as he cried in hurt. Yisheng looked at him suspiciously, pulled out his hand to take a peek and was surprised to find out that it was actually bruising. Her lips parted to make out a word, but saw that he was being indignant and laughed.

“Beep!” A Bentley car from the Liang Tian Xiao Qu community came out, honking behind them. Yisheng reflexively looked back, and pulled Yan Heng out off the road while complaining: “Such a grown man, how can you be so thin skinned?”

Yan Heng just laughs, and the driver of the Bentley car suddenly screeches to a halt. Yisheng looks towards the vehicle, and couldn’t help but wonder did it break down? While she was thinking this, the Bentley car suddenly speeds off, frightening her.

“Little girl, until when are you going to hold my hand?” Yan Heng laughs mischievously.

Yisheng, shocked, lets go, and having nowhere else to place her hands, she hides it behind her back and says: “Let’s go, I’m inviting you to dinner.”

Yan Heng smiles brightly.

Somewhere in downtown, there is an elegant restaurant that stood out amongst the other buildings in its street. The facilities outside looked luxurious, and the insides were elegant which made it a good place for social gatherings for urban white-collar workers, and also a good place for dates. Yan Heng brings Yisheng to this place, and the two people sat close by the window. Yan Heng picks a french red wine steak and boston grilled shrimp, then gives the menu to Yisheng, “What do you want to eat?”

Yisheng first glances at the prices, and when she saw that it was all three-digit numbers, her blood ran cold. Brother, ah, how can you be so cruel? She hesitated to flip to the next page, not wanting to choose anything after seeing the prices. Her face was filled with unhappiness, and made a bored expression, “I have no appet.i.te for anything in here.”

Yan Heng seems to have expected this, and smiled “So, what do you like to eat?”

“Well, actually, I’m not a picky eater. I just recently got a sore throat.”

“Lady, we have something light here that you can eat. Go ahead and take a look.” The waiter smiles humbly.

Yisheng was deflated, and slightly uncomfortable as she takes a few uneasy glances, then sees that the cashews with celery was 369. She cries but there are no tears. Her heart felt heavy as she sees him order with a calm look on his face.”Another fried cashews with celery.”

“What else does the lady want? ”

More? Yisheng really wanted to curse, “Don’t have to.”
