Chapter 1: A New Beginning
Bashan City, Southwest Associated University, during the September admission season, colorful flags to welcome new students are hung all over the campus.
Wu Ming stood at the school gate and couldn't stop looking in, he carried a large package in his left and right hands, and a large suitcase stood beside him, especially exaggerated was that he was carrying a large iron pot on his back, and the whole shape of a turtle immortal moving.
The janitor walked over from the side: "Young man, are you here to report, why did you carry all the pots?"
Wu Ming smiled: "I'm not a freshman, I'm here to deliver luggage to my sister, and my sister is the one." β
Wu Ming pointed to a poster posted on the side of the gate, the uncle turned his head along his hand and looked at it, the brightly colored poster was the representative of this year's new students of the United Nations General Assembly, a girl with big eyes and a single ponytail, two shallow dimples on her smiling face, an absolute beauty.
"Yo, isn't that the freshman representative who gave a speech at the opening ceremony? β
The uncle muttered, turned his head and glanced at Wu Ming, unconcealing the suspicion and contempt on his face, as if he had decided that Wu Ming was fooling him.
"Brotherββ!
Suddenly, a crisp shout sounded from inside the school gate, and a girl in a school uniform ran towards the school gate.
Single ponytail, big eyes, exactly like the one on the poster.
The girl strode in front of Wu Ming, out of breath: "It's late, the speech is a little longer than expected!"
"I've just arrived, too. Wu Ming pushed the box behind him in front of his sister Wu Ying, with a smile on his face.
"How's the presentation?"
Wu Ying raised her head and stuck out her tongue: "I'm a little nervous, I made several mistakes, but the applause is still quite warm, but it's a pity that you weren't there." β
Wu Ming shrugged helplessly: "No way, if we don't move out this morning, the landlord will throw our things on the road." β
Wu Ying leaned her face in front of Wu Ming, frowned and said, "How many times have I told you, it's better to continue renting the house, what kind of house to move!"
"That's okay!"
Wu Ming was serious: "You live in the school now, and you still rent a two-bedroom house, it's not like wasting half of the rent in vain, 500 yuan! I only earn more than 2,000 a month now, and this time a quarter is gone!"
Wu Ying pouted, her brother is good at everything, he is too wealthy, and after cutting a penny into eight petals, he also scores both positive and negative flowers.
There is a reason for Wu Ming's money obsession, a few years ago their mother suddenly fell seriously ill, and his father sold the family house to his lover for treatment, but in the end he still failed to save people. Soon after this incident, their father also died of depression, leaving the two siblings alone.
The children of the poor were in charge of the family at an early age, and Wu Ming became the breadwinner of the family from then on, trying to do odd jobs to earn money to support the family.
Last year, he gave up his college acceptance letter and chose a full-time job as a courier.
"Then you should say it in advance when you move, and I will go back to help. β
Wu Ying looked at her brother with resentment on her face, she knew very well how much her brother had sacrificed for herself, and her brother's absence at the important entrance ceremony was an incomparably huge regret.
"I can't interfere with your preparation for the speech, and there aren't many things, so I'll clean it up in a few clicks. β
Wu Ming smiled at Wu Ying: "I won't enter the school if I salute so much." And it's not too early, I still have to go to see the newly rented house, and I'll come to see you when it's settled. β
Wu Ying frowned: "Then I'll go with you." β
Wu Ming's face was blank, and he put on the posture of the head of the family.
"No, today is the opening ceremony, and you will obediently stay in school for me. β
"Wait a minute!"
Wu Ying saw that her brother was leaving, so she hurriedly stopped him, and then reached out and took a piece of milky white warm jade from her neck.
"Brother, this talisman will be handed over to you from today. β
A look of astonishment appeared on Wu Ming's face: "This is what my mother left for you at the beginning!"
Wu Ying gently put the amulet tied with the red rope on her brother's neck, and helped him put the jade into the collar and put it close to her body, took a step back and glanced at it, showing a satisfied smile.
"It has helped me realize my wish to enter the UN General Assembly, and it is time to fulfill your wish!"
"What do I want~" Wu Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly.
If you want to say that there is a wish, that is, a salary increase, the problem boss is an iron rooster, not to mention the talisman, even if the gods come, it will not be used.
"Okay, I'm leaving, you can go back quickly. β
Wu Ming nodded to Wu Ying, then turned around and walked in the direction of the outside school.
The moment he turned around, the package in his hand inadvertently hit the suitcase left in the center of the field.
There was a soft "bang", and the suitcase was knocked backwards slowly.
The janitor on the side inadvertently saw it and subconsciously spoke: "The box ......"
Suddenly, the box paused as it tilted to forty-five degrees, completely frozen in the air.
Then, the tilted box slowly swung back into place and stood firmly on the ground.
The janitor blinked, looking confused.
The box is not a tumbler, how can it return to its own position if it falls?
Wu Ying, who was standing in place, quietly retracted his right hand that stretched out to the box in the air, looked at Wu Ming who was striding away, and smiled with two shallow dimples on his face.
Wu Ming didn't know what was happening behind him, and after leaving the gate of the United Nations University, he walked along the street towards Peninsula East Road.
Wu Ming's newly rented house this time is at No. 17 Peninsula East Road, which is a factory-based processing area, which is not very far from the United Nations General Assembly, and Wu Ming spent more than half an hour walking near the destination.
As a courier, Wu Ming easily found No. 17 Peninsula East Road, but the scene in front of him made him stunned.
The tall blue-gray courtyard wall, in the middle is an old black gate, from the appearance, this is a very old mansion!
I won't cheat my father, Wu Ming thought up and down, the old house in front of him looks like it can be used by the United Nations to apply for human cultural heritage, and it doesn't look like it's rented out!
If he was fooled, he would only be able to sleep on the road today, Wu Ming turned his heart sideways, and he had to bite the bullet.
He strode to the door and looked up for a long time.
Didn't find the doorbell.
I'll go, there won't be water and electricity in this house, and the rent will have to be cut in half.
Wu Ming thought wildly, raised his right hand and knocked on the heavy black wooden door.
"Knock knock...... "Knock knock knock ......" knocked for half a minute, and there was no reaction at all.
Wu Ming frowned, as a courier, he naturally had a stunt to deal with this situation.
"Open the door, there's your delivery!"
The voice worked, and a moment later there was a slight sound of footsteps coming from behind the door.
With a creak, the door opened inward, revealing a thin girl.
Shoulder-length short hair with flat bangs, big eyes, slightly emaciated cheeks, and no expression on her pink face, like a delicate porcelain doll.
"You're in the wrong place, there's no courier here. β
The girl's cold voice did not fluctuate in a moment, and then the door began to close.
"Wait a minute!" Wu Ming reached out and grabbed the door, and hurriedly spoke: "I'm a new tenant!"
The girl's inky black eyes looked at Wu Ming and looked at it again, "Wu Ming?"
"Yes, yes, it's me, I'm Wu Ming!" Wu Ming let out a sigh of relief, it seems that he doesn't need to sleep on the road tonight.
With a low friction sound, the heavy door slowly opened inward, and the girl's figure was completely displayed in front of Wu Ming.
A wide and classical robe, with soft sleeves and a belted waist, seems to be ...... Hanfu.
"Come in. β
The girl's faint voice sounded, Wu Ming sighed, carried the package and carried the pot on his back, and walked into the door.
The girl closed the gate behind him, and the tall courtyard wall was extremely soundproofed, and the hustle and bustle of the city outside the door was completely shielded from the wall.
In front of you is an old house in the shape of a courtyard, and in front of it is a two-story main house with three rooms on each side.
The atrium of the courtyard is very spacious, full of flowers and plants, and very elegantly manicured.
Hidden in the city, it is simply a paradise in the middle of the city.
Wu Ming opened his mouth and looked around, and it took a while before he came back to his senses and turned his head to look at the little girl standing behind him.
"What's your name, are your parents at home?"
"My name is Twilight, and I'm living alone, and the previous tenants have all moved away, and now you're the only tenant. β
The girl's voice was unhurried, her fair face was indifferent and quiet, and she walked up to Wu Ming and stretched out her hand to point to the left.
"Your room is the first one on the left, go check it out. β
Living alone?
Wu Mingleng paused, the little girl in front of her looked like she was fifteen or sixteen, she lived in such a big house alone?
The style of painting suddenly changed, and he inexplicably began a beautiful life under the same roof as a beautiful girl.
Xiaoying's talisman is really spiritual!
"Anything else?"
The girl's voice woke up Wu Ming, who was smirking, and he hurriedly sighed, carrying his luggage and walking towards the first house on his left.
