Perfect Tenant

When she saw me, she immediately sped up and rushed out.    

I revealed a trace of joy in my heart and also quickly went forward to welcome her.    

The umbrella hit my head and Chen Yiyao said angrily, "Zhong Hao, it's raining heavily, why aren't you leaving? Do you know that it will freeze and catch a cold like this?"    

Her words were full of concern, which made me feel warm. I couldn't help but smile. "You don't want me to stay in your house, but I don't want to go far either. I think it would be better if I was closer to you. I just stayed in the yard. I didn't expect it to rain."    

"Why are you so stupid?" Chen Yiyao's eyes turned red and she said with sobs.    

"Everything is worth it for you." I said seriously.    

"You... come in with me." Chen Yiyao hesitated for a moment and finally said.    

I was overjoyed, "Yiyao, you accept me?"    

"No." Chen Yiyao said, "Are you leaving or not?"    

I was a little disappointed, but I was still a little happy in my heart. If you are willing to let me in, there will be a chance.    

After entering the house, My body was wet. I kept dripping water. The cement floor was wet.    

Chen's mother was not around, probably already resting.    

She put away her umbrella and said, "You are all wet, I will boil some water for you, you can take a bath."    

"Thank you." I am a bit embarrassed.    

Chen Yiyao handed me a towel and asked me to wipe my hair first. She said, "I'll boil some hot water for you. My house doesn't have a bathroom yet. You can take a bath in the bathroom later with a basin of feet."    

I nodded. I felt very warm in my heart when I heard Chen Yiyao's gentle words.    

Then Chen Yiyao went to the kitchen to boil water.    

The kitchen was still the stove that I used to watch at my grandparents' house in the village when I was young. It was dry firewood.    

She sat behind the stove and kept adding matches. I stood at the door and looked at the fire reflecting her beautiful white cheeks. It was very moving.    

She did not look at me and said indifferently: "Just wait in the house."    

"I just want to see you." I looked at her and smiled.    

Chen Yiyao then looked up at me and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You are drenched. Do you want to take off your clothes? I will take my dad's clothes for you to wear. Although it is not suitable, just wear it."    

"I have clothes in my bag." I said.    

I have been carrying my bag ever since I came from Beijing. My bag was soaked in the rain with me just now, but my bag is waterproof, so I'm not worried that the clothes inside will get wet.    

"Okay, then go and change your clothes."    

"Yiyao, thank you for caring about me." I smiled and said.    

Chen Yiyao immediately frowned and said, "Don't make a mistake. I don't care about you. I'm afraid that you will get sick. At that time, my mother and I will have to take you to the town hospital for treatment."    

I smiled and knew that Chen Yiyao did not respond to her words. I was too lazy to argue.    

I went to the living room and opened my bag. I took out a set of clothes and walked into her room.    

Chen Yiyao's room was clean and tidy. It was simple and had a faint fragrance. The bed and blanket were pink and neatly folded.    

There was a table beside the bed. There were a few books, a mirror, and a photo.    

The photo seemed to be old. Chen Yiyao was still a teenage girl with a ponytail and a pair of scissors. Her face was full of smiles. Her parents stood on her left and right side. The family of three was happy and harmonious.    

Time passed too quickly. The beautiful and innocent girl had become a divorced woman.    

I have thought it through. Since I have made a promise, I will not let Chen Yiyao suffer any more in the future.    

My clothes are completely soaked. Even my underpants aren't dry at all. I might as well take them all off.    

Standing in front of the mirror in the wardrobe, I can clearly see my sturdy and well-proportioned body in the mirror.    

Just as I was about to change into my clothes, the door was pushed open. Chen Yiyao walked in and saw me naked. She was stunned for a few seconds and stared at me. Her beautiful eyes focused on my reaction and then her pretty face turned red. She quickly looked away and asked, "Why are you changing clothes in my room?"    

"Your house is only so big. I can't change in your parents' room, right?" I was a little embarrassed and quickly covered my crotch with my hands.    

"I mean you can go to the toilet to change." Chen Yiyao's pretty face was red, "You... quickly put on your clothes!"    

After saying that, she quickly backed out and closed the door.    

Looking at her red face, she looked a little embarrassed. I found it a little funny. Then, I quickly put on my clothes and said to the door, "I've changed."    

Chen Yiyao just came in and her face was still a little red. She said, "The hot water will be ready in a while. You go to the kitchen first and wait. I will get you a towel and soap."    

"Yes, okay."    

"You can only stay here for one night tonight. You will leave tomorrow, okay?" Chen Yiyao said.    

"Which room do I stay in?" I subconsciously asked.    

Chen Yiyao could not answer my question.    

"I'll make a bed in the living room." I said.    

Chen Yiyao frowned and hesitated for a moment. Finally, she said, "You will stay in my room but still make a bed. Do you hear me?"    

I quickly nodded and said I heard.    

I was a little happy in my heart. Although Chen Yiyao did not forgive me, I am already very satisfied to be able to sleep in the same room as her at night.    

I really have to thank her for this sudden timely help.    

Chen Yiyao's toilet was next to the kitchen. It was a very small room with only a squatting pit. There were some tools for farming near the walls, such as hoeing and raking.    

She placed a large red basin and brought a basin of boiling water from the kitchen. Finally, she filled the basin and said, "Alright, take a bath. I'm going out."    

"Thank you, Yiyao." I said.    

Chen Yiyao left without saying a word.    

Although the conditions were simple, when I soaked my entire body in hot water, it still made me feel very comfortable and moved in my heart.    

I quickly finished showering and put on my changed clothes. After I poured the water out, I walked out of the toilet.    

I did not see Chen Yiyao in the living room and the kitchen lights were turned off. Only the lights in her room were on.    

Chen Yiyao probably had already entered the room.    

I took a deep breath and tried my best to control the excitement in my heart. Step by step, I walked towards Chen Yiyao's room and knocked on the door.    

No one answered in the room. The door was pushed open by me.    

Chen Yiyao was lying on the side of the bed with her back facing me. She had already fallen asleep. The mattress and blanket were already laid on the floor under the bed.    

"Are you asleep?" I asked.    

Chen Yiyao carried me on her back and said, "The blanket is ready. Go to sleep. Don't forget to turn off the lights."    

I looked at Chen Yiyao and wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, I did not say anything and turned off the lights and laid on the bed.    

When the room was completely quiet, in the darkness, I could hear my own heartbeat and Chen Yiyao's breathing.
