Volume 1_Chapter 120 Tenant (8)

Jiang Zhi beamed: "Then let's sleep here."

She found a thick blanket, placed it on the sofa, gave him a couple of reminders, then turned and went back to the bedroom.

When she closed the door, she quietly locked it.

Her suspicion of Shi Xuan lessened, but it wasn't completely gone.

He saved her, so letting him stay the night was only natural. But Jiang Zhi had to take responsibility for her own life, so the door had to be locked.

The two are not contradictory.

She lay back down in the bedroom and slept soundly.

Until the morning sun rose, she heard the sound of the living room door closing.

Shi Xuan left.

At that time, it was when he got up to work; he straightened the wrinkled sofa and even folded that thick blanket into a tofu‑block shape, putting it back in place.

Jiang Zhi stretched, planning to go out for breakfast and then come back to catch up on sleep.

Soon she discovered a serious problem.

After two days without streaming, she was already penniless!!

Jiang Zhi lay helplessly back in the chair, muttering to herself:

"I really want to eat fried dough stick and soy milk!!"

"And big meat buns!"

As she spoke, she couldn't stop drooling.

Jiang Zhi sighed, resignedly wiped the corner of her mouth, got up, and walked toward the bedroom.

It's time to stream now! Earn money for today's lunch!

When she came out of the bathroom after washing up, she heard a knock at the door.

Jiang Zhi thought Shi Xuan had something else and had come back, so she went over and opened the door, but the hallway was empty.

She suddenly smelled a fragrance, looked down, and saw several bags filled with breakfast placed at the doorway.

Through the bags she could vaguely see fried dough stick and soy milk, as well as buns.

She froze for a moment, thinking she was hallucinating, and raised her hand to rub her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, the breakfast was still there.

"System, system!!"

【I'm here, Host.】

"Do you still give free breakfast every morning?"

【You're daydreaming, Host; in a hard dungeon, it's impossible they'd give you breakfast.】

The familiar, cold mechanical voice gave Jiang Zhi a sense of intimacy.

Exactly!

It couldn't be a gift from the system.

Then did it appear out of thin air?

Jiang Zhi was starving, her fever had just broken, her body was already weak, and smelling the clear, tempting aroma wafting to her nose made her stomach churn.

Could it have been sent by Shi Xuan?

She secretly thought so, but a second later she dismissed the idea.

Shi Xuan himself was so poor he was picking up trash; where would he get money to buy her breakfast?

Who knows if it's poisoned……

At that moment, the security guard from the opposite nightclub, Li Dachao, returned after a night shift, already starving to the point his front stuck to his back.

Jiang Zhi hurriedly picked up the bag on the floor, took out a bun, and handed it to Li Dachao, smiling brightly: "Big Brother Dachao, you're back—you must be starving; want a bun?"

Li Dachao took it immediately, stuffed it in his mouth in one bite, and for the first time gave her a proper look.

"You're quite personable; from now on, just tell me anything you need, Brother."

Jiang Zhi smiled, said no more, and fixed her eyes on his reaction.

Looks like it's not poisoned?

Li Dachao never locks his door when he gets home; he sprawls on the sofa, watching TV as he falls asleep.

Jiang Zhi waited at the doorway for over ten minutes, but noticed nothing unusual about Li Dachao.

Eighty percent sure there's no problem.

She relievedly closed the door and ate the breakfast from the bag.

After she was full, she thought about what had just happened, and the more she thought, the stranger it seemed.

It seemed that after she said what she wanted to eat, those breakfast items showed up at the door.

Jiang Zhi glanced around, instantly becoming alert.

Based on her experience encountering perverts in many worlds, she began rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

She searched every corner of the forty‑ to fifty‑square‑meter apartment, but found no surveillance cameras.

How could there be none?

Jiang Zhi rested her chin on her hand, standing in place, lost in thought.

After a long while.

She suddenly spoke, talking to herself:

"I really want money."

【Dreaming.】

The system thought she was dreaming.

Five minutes later.

The door was knocked again.

Jiang Zhi opened the door and saw a black bag placed at the doorway.

After looking around the hallway, she didn't see anyone; the bag seemed to have appeared out of thin air at her doorstep.

Jiang Zhi furrowed her brows and dragged the bag inside.

Unzipping it, she saw the bag stuffed with money.

"Oh my mother."

Her pupils quaked, she stared in shock at the stacks of coins.

"Xi xi system!!"

【I am the system, not the xi xi system.】

Jiang Zhi was so shocked she couldn't close her mouth, "Am I dreaming?"

【No.】

Jiang Zhi crouched, took out a stack of money, checked and they were all genuine.

"Then who gave this?"

【I don't know.】 The tone was cold.

Jiang Zhi hastily pulled her hand back, hugged herself, anxiously asked: "Won't there be a ghost living with me?"

【... This isn't a supernatural instance!!】

Jiang Zhi swallowed, sat for a while, gradually calmed down.

No matter who sent it, it should be harmless to her.

But one thing she could be certain of is that the person sending things can hear her speaking inside the house.

As long as she says something, he can hear it.

Jiang Zhi thought of an idea to catch that person.

She quietly walked to the door, then immediately started talking to herself:

"I really want to drink milk tea."

After a while, when she heard the knocking, she suddenly opened the door.

Before that person could disappear, Jiang Zhi met eyes wrapped in black cloth.

His snow-white hair gently lay over his brows and eyes, his delicate features were suffused with golden light pouring from within, his thin lips slightly pursed, his tall, slender figure towering over the doorframe, he held a bag, bent over, wanting to set it down on the ground.

Obviously he didn't expect the door to suddenly open from inside, standing still, the white hair at the corners of his eyes twitched.

"Is… you??" Jiang Zhi didn't expect the person she saw to be him.

This voice broke the silence; the man vanished instantly, the milk tea in his hand fell, but Jiang Zhi caught it in time.

From next door came a bang of a door closing, almost happening in an instant.

Jiang Zhi knew Bai Mao was a vampire, he had speed beyond ordinary people.

But why did he send her things?

And he sent them secretly.

Could it be that he has secretly loved her for a long time?

Jiang Zhi thought she was overthinking; if he had a crush on her, he wouldn't have fled just now.

Really a vampire that's hard to fathom.

Anyway, it's harmless to her, that's good.

Jiang Zhi held the milk tea in her hand, walked to the neighbor's door, and knocked.

She wanted to thank that vampire.

After so long, still not knowing his name, he gave her a bag of money for no reason; she must thank him.

But there was no response for a long time.

It seemed as if no one was inside.

Impossible, she saw him return to the house with her own eyes.

Then why didn't he open the door?

Jiang Zhi puzzled over it, thought a bit, then returned to her own room.

She opened her mouth and said gratefully:

"Thank you for the breakfast, the money, and the milk tea."

Although he sucked her blood for no reason the past two nights, he didn't kill her and even sent her safely home.

Still need to thank him.

She knew he could hear her.
