Chapter 92: Officially Owning Da Yizi's Body and Soul

"If you have a cameo role and want to play the lead, I'll ask around for you later."

Gong Ruxue forced herself to steady her spirit, touching her feverish cheek, and said.

"Alright, I'll await good news."

Xu Yuexin boldly grasped Gong Ruxue's hand, stared at her beautiful eyes, and said.

Gong Ruxue tried to pull her hand away, but failed; instantly her face burned even hotter, as if a fire‑blazing cloud rose.

……

A few days later, the second issue of Great Ming 1566 was published, entering the plot of the dam collapse and flooded fields.

This is the early climax of the novel, very gripping for readers.

Public discussion about the book quickly heated up, and Xu Yuexin also gained a group of readers within Keyuan Community.

He sometimes walks inside the community and can hear some neighbors discussing his novel.

That day, Xu Yuexin went to Dianbao Fang to check whether there was a telegram from Lin Qingxia for him, passing by two girls on the way.

"Linlin, how far has Great Ming 1566 gotten, and to what extent have the Strict Party and the Pure Stream fought?"

"You ask about that? The Strict Party, to replace rice with mulberry, ordered the dam to be torn open, flooding the fields of Jiande and Chun'an counties; when I saw it, I was shaking with anger."

……

A crisp sound like a yellow warbler reached his ears; Xu Yuexin tilted his face slightly and saw clearly the girl beside him.

"Isn't this… the Daughter Kingdom King from Journey to the West?"

"She actually lives here too?" Xu Yuexin exclaimed in surprise, then, upon thinking seriously, found it perfectly reasonable.

Zhu Chen's father is also a university professor, so having the house allocated to Keyuan Community is quite normal.

This time, Xu Yuexin only glanced once, yet Zhu Chen's dignified, beautiful, stunning face was etched into his mind.

"Since she's a neighbor, there should be chances to see her again in the future?"

Xu Yuexin thought.

After arriving at Dianbao Fang, he asked the telegraph operator and discovered that Lin Qingxia had indeed replied to him.

In the telegram, Lin Qingxia stated that she had submitted an application to the management department, inviting Xu Yuexin to go to Xiangjiang.

As soon as the approval here comes through, Xu Yuexin can go to Xiangjiang to find her.

She truly is a woman of affection and loyalty.

Xu Yuexin felt joy in his heart, tucked the telegram away and prepared to go home.

Actually there was nothing much to prepare, just a few changes of clothes, plus two gold pieces left over from last time.

When Xu Yuexin sold gold last time, he was shrewd; after giving some to his daughter‑in‑law and Da Yizi for jewelry, he kept some in his own share.

Because nowadays individuals cannot exchange Foreign Exchange, he needs gold to serve as hard currency to facilitate travel in and out of Xiangjiang.

At this moment, he only hopes the management department's approval will come quickly.

After preparing his clothes, Xu Yuexin went to school for a class that lasted the whole day.

In the evening, he and Chen Qiaoqiao walked home from school together, and then Chen Qiaoqiao told him some news.

"Next year, Tuanjie Lake will sell a batch of houses, and now everyone is allowed to view them early."

"My sister asked me to go with her tomorrow; do you want to come with us?"

"Hmm, I'll go over with you all," Xu Yuexin said.

The next morning, Xu Yuexin rode a bike with Chen Qiaoqiao to Tuanjie Lake, and when they arrived, Chen Yixue was already waiting.

The next morning, Xu Yuexin rode a bike and took Qiao Qiao to Unity Lake, and when they arrived, Chen Yixue was already waiting.

After getting off, Chen Qiaoqiao asked Chen Yixue.

"It's just behind. It's said to have a private bathroom, with conditions similar to a cadre building."

Chen Yixue said with great anticipation, a hopeful look appearing on her dignified face.

Soon, Xu Yuexin parked his motorcycle and returned to the two sisters, walking toward the new house.

These houses are ready‑built; the pre‑sale model hasn't arrived yet.

At present there's no sales office; the three of them just register with the Security Officer downstairs and can go up to view the house.

The new building is a six‑story walk‑up, each floor's stairwell equipped with a light that turns on with a switch.

Chen Yixue stopped on the third floor and entered a room.

The house has a two‑bedroom, two‑living‑room, one‑bath layout, with excellent lighting orientation, and indeed, as the legend says, it has a separate kitchen and bathroom, plus heating and hot water.

Even now, this is unquestionably top‑tier configuration.

After seeing it, Chen Yixue was very satisfied and began planning her savings.

Chen Yixue had previously saved 2,000 in the Cultural Troupe; after Xu Yuexin's suggestion, her savings surged explosively to 21,000 yuan.

In her view, securing this apartment should be more than enough.

"This house is nice, let's buy it here," Chen Yixue said confidently, already imagining how to decorate after moving in.

The bathroom can have a flush toilet, the bedroom lighting can be softer, the sofa should be warm‑colored…

After paying the house price, there should still be plenty left to meet her renovation needs, Chen Yixue planned.

Beside her, Chen Qiaoqiao agreed: "The lighting and layout are great; living there will definitely be comfortable." Xu Yuexin remained neutral, offering no comment.

At this moment, Chen Yixue went down alone, and when she returned, her complexion was off.

She inquired about the price at the gate security, and the person said 400 yuan per square meter! That blew her budget.

All the beautiful expectations, like colored bubbles, burst all over the ground.

"Sister, aren't you feeling unwell?"

All the beautiful expectations, like colored bubbles, shattered all over the ground.

"Sis, you don't feel well?"

Chen Qiaoqiao saw that her complexion was off and asked concernedly.

"It's nothing; just a cold wind blew a moment ago."

Chen Yixue kept a calm exterior, shook her head and said, "Let's go home."

Could it be that the cold wind that mentioned the price blew? Xu Yuexin thought to himself.

"The motorcycle can seat three people."

"You don't need to ride."

Xu Yuexin told Da Yizi, and after going downstairs, drove forward with her and his daughter‑in‑law.

First deliver Chen Qiaoqiao to school, then take Da Yizi back to East Third Ring.

On the way to East Third Ring, he eased the motorcycle's speed and, wittingly or not, said, "Is it because the money's insufficient?"

"Hmm… a set costs 32,000."

Chen Yixue, suppressing her emotions, said, "I don't have enough money on hand."

"How much short?"

"Short by 11,000."

"I'll lend you, buy the house first."

"How can that work, how could I lend you so much money?"

"Your mother's temperament, living under one roof must be stifling."

Xu Yuexin stopped the motorcycle and earnestly said, "Better to move out as soon as possible."

He really is…

Too understanding of himself.

Chen Yixue looked at Xu Yuexin's face in the rearview mirror and felt something melt inside her.

Her relationship with Zhou Zhifeng was a knot in her heart.

Hearing that from Xu Yuexin's mouth and receiving his full support changed Chen Yixue's mood.

At that moment, Xu Yuexin officially entered a place in her heart where no one had ever been.

"Thank you."

Chen Yixue's eyes reddened slightly, and with her beautiful eyes she said, "I'll repay you as soon as possible."

Grateful yet, she didn't want Xu Yuexin to see her vulnerable, sad side.

"Then don't go back yet; I'll take you to my place to get the money."

Xu Yuexin turned the handlebars and slammed the throttle.

After arriving home, Xu Yuexin took out 15,000 from the cabinet and handed it to Chen Yixue.

"Take it, it's fifteen thousand yuan."

"Don't think it's too much. You still have renovations behind you; it's not appropriate for an adult to have not a single cent left."

Xu Yuexin said lightly, gripping one of Chen Yixue's hands.

Chen Yixue looked at him, nodded, felt a thousand emotions welling up inside, and for a moment couldn't speak.

Xu Yuexin clearly noticed that something in her eyes had changed.

"Quickly take it, don't let me change my mind later."

Xu Yuexin lifted the corner of his mouth and said, "If you're embarrassed to take it, just kiss me."

"Clean poor mouth."

Chen Yixue took the money, gave a restrained smile and said.

"Then I'll kiss you."

After saying that, Xu Yuexin embraced Da Yizi and kissed her intoxicating red lips.

"Hmm…"

This time, Chen Yixue did not resist; she listened and let Xu Yuexin continue his deep advances.

Even when Xu Yuexin lifted one of her hands to signal, Chen Yixue cooperatively embraced him.

Xu Yuexin was not satisfied with merely kissing; soon his large hand started to take off Chen Yixue's coat, followed by the shirt buttons…

After a bout of wanton advances, Xu Yuexin placed Chen Yixue on the bed, leaned down and met her eyes.

"Do we really have to go… that step?"

Chen Yixue asked, sounding as if murmuring to herself.

"Hmm."

Xu Yuexin nodded and then answered Da Yizi with his actions.
