He was going to be homeless soon, and all his thoughts were on the rent.

A week ago, the landlord informed the tenants that the rent would rise next month and gave them a week to find a house. Ling Chen's other two roommates found cheap houses and moved out. He and Ji Linxi couldn't find a suitable house, so they planned to continue renting. However, Ling Chen did not have enough money to pay the rent.

It wasn't that Ling Chen hadn't thought of asking Ji Lin Xi for a loan, but that Ji Lin Xi also had his own difficulties. The last time he asked Ji Lin Xi for a loan, he was forced to do it because he had no other choice; the fee for the draft was only due in the middle of the month, and the landlord had to collect the rent at the beginning of the month.

Su Yuyang was Ling Chen's last hope. Now it seemed that he should just sleep on the street.

After tidying up the dining table, Ling Chen left without even greeting Su Yuyang. When Su Yuyang came out of her room and saw that there was no one in the living room, she suddenly felt guilty.

"Forget it, he'll go get the money tomorrow. After all, he has worked so hard for so long." Thinking like this, Su Yuyang didn't think too much about it.

The next day, Su Yuyang was awoken by the sound of "dong dong dong". After being awoken, it was impossible for him to sleep. Looking at the time, Su Yuyang complained as he got up from the bed. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and went to the bathroom to wash up. Coming out of the bathroom, as he passed by the kitchen, a black shadow flashed past Su Yuyang's eyes. His entire body shook as if a thief had entered the house. Upon closer inspection, Ling Chen was in the kitchen!

"Ling Chen?" Su Yuyang shouted in surprise.

Ling Zhen revealed an apologetic smile and said: "Go wash up first, breakfast will be ready in a moment."

Su Yuyang walked into the living room and saw two old suitcases and a plastic one. He was sure that this thing wasn't his.

Ling Chen walked over while carrying the porridge. Just as he sat down, Su Yuyang asked, "Your things?"

"That... "En..." Ling Chen did not know how to reply. Su Yuyang slowly sipped the porridge. It was clear that he didn't intend to ask, but he was still prolonging the time for his meal.

After breakfast, Su Yuyang would head straight into the study, and from then all the way until lunch. During this period of time, he wouldn't allow Ling Chen to disturb him.

Ling Zhen instantly understood Su Yuyang's painstaking efforts. Naturally, he wouldn't waste Su Yuyang's effort. The congee in Su Yuyang's bowl was almost finished. Ling Zhen finally opened his mouth: "Brother Su, I was driven out by the landlord."

"It doesn't seem like the contract stipulates that I will be responsible for your accommodation and food, right?" With a single sentence, Su Yuyang blocked Ling Chen's attempt to escape. Ling Chen coldly snorted and complained, "If you were to give me your salary, I won't need it ?"

"You still have the nerve to raise my salary?" Su Yuyang had originally wanted to pay his salary in seconds, but his heart had been shattered by Ling Chen's words. Now, he wanted to settle the score with Ling Chen.

Su Yuyang wasn't a petty person. It was just that he really admired Ling Chen's expression of holding back his anger. Thus, occasionally stimulating Ling Chen wasn't a bad thing.

Being stared at by Su Yuyang, Ling Chen swallowed back his words.

After washing the dishes, Ling Chen left the kitchen in a flash. However, he saw that Su Yuyang was still sitting in the living room.

Su Yuyang waved towards Ling Chen, hinting for him to come over and sit down. It was probably due to Su Yuyang's earlier reaction that Ling Zhen looked towards Su Yuyang with hesitation in his eyes. It was really unlike the Ling Zhen that Su Yuyang recognized. Su Yuyang shouted, "What are you standing there foolishly for? "Come here."

Ling Zhen took small steps towards Su Yuyang. Su Yuyang coldly snorted, and Ling Zhen staggered a bit before falling onto the sofa.

Su Yuyang took a deep breath. Ling Zhen thought that Su Yuyang was about to ridicule him, so he spoke first, "Do you know where there is a place to rent?"

Ling Zhen was sure that Su Yuyang didn't know about this, but in order to prevent himself from being ridiculed, he could only interrupt Su Yuyang.

Su Yuyang coldly said, "Find a house to mediate."

Ling sec crawled forward a distance, his hand just happening to reach Su Yuyang's arm. Su Yuyang glanced at Ling Chen. Ling Chen shivered for a moment before retracting his hand. He said with a laugh, "Then, can I stay at your house?"

Actually, Ling Zhen had already planned this a long time ago. He wanted to live in Su Yuyang's home, and this way, he could save on the cost of renting a house. If Su Yuyang wanted to take his rent ? In any case, his own salary was given to him by Su Yuyang, wouldn't it be fine if Su Yuyang drew a portion of it?

However, when he told Ji Lingxi about this plan, Ji Lingxi only said six words, "You haven't woken up yet, have you?"

Su Yuyang revealed a thoughtful expression. In Ling Chen's eyes, this was equivalent to "I don't want to".

With a sigh, Su Yuyang followed the voice and looked over. Ling Chen's disappointed and helpless eyes fell on his line of sight.

Ling Chen sucked in a breath of air, seeming to be enduring something. He looked at Su Yuyang, the grief in his eyes making it hard for Su Yuyang to look directly at him.

"Brother Su, it's not a big deal if you don't take me in. After all, we just have a simple employment relationship. It's just that I've been so busy recently looking for a house that I probably don't have time to cook for you, nor time to fix and write for you. If it's short, it'll be a week, if it's long, it'll be half a month. During this time, I'll have to trouble you to order takeouts.

With that, Ling Chen sprung up from the sofa, dragging his luggage towards the door.
