Chapter 1075: Gentle Neighbor's Drama Queen Sweetheart 03

Xue Yuanjing wasn't home; Zhongyu Yu relaxed a lot, put the dishes in the dishwasher, went back to the room to change clothes, and prepared to continue the clothing shoot.

After two hours, when Zhongyu Yu came out to get water, he heard a ding-ling clank outside the door, but no one else lived on this floor.

Zhongyu Yu found it strange, holding his water cup, he looked out through the peephole.

Turns out someone had moved into the opposite unit; Zhongyu Yu put his mind at ease and went back to the room to tidy up.

After a while, the doorbell rang.

When he opened the door, Zhongyu Yu saw the new neighbor's appearance.

A handsome, gentle man, tall, a simple white shirt suited him well.

Zhongyu Yu, sensitive to fashion, couldn't help but take another look.

"Hello."

Jin Chen spoke softly, his voice as clear and smooth as jade.

【Detecting the villain of this world, Blackening Value triggered, currently Blackening Value 50!】

【Mission requirement: Blackening Value to be zeroed, change the villain's tragic ending.】

Jin Chen's expression unchanged, a smile at the corner of his lips, he handed over the thing he was holding.

"I'm the new neighbor across the way; there might be some noise today, so I apologize in advance."

Zhongyu Yu was a bit dazed; upon receiving it, he realized it was a box of zongzi.

With the Dragon Boat Festival approaching, this small gift wasn't offensive.

Zhongyu Yu quickly said, "It's fine; I can't hear any noise from my room."

"Then that's good."

Jin Chen's words were sincere and polite, his gaze fixed on Zhongyu Yu, "Then please advise me in the future, neighbor."

Few people could tell his gender at first meeting; Zhongyu Yu was somewhat surprised and gave a light smile.

"Thank you for the zongzi."

Returning opposite, 0731 then expressed doubt.

【Logically, the plot hasn't even started yet, but the Main God's Blackening Value is already 50!】

Jin Chen crossed his arms, leaning against the doorframe, lazily watching a few assistants move things.

【Perhaps it comes more from his family of origin.】

"Boss!"

Wang Tai hugged two large boxes of clothes into the wardrobe, then poked his head out, very surprised, "You actually brought this many clothes this time; are you planning to settle here?"

Jin Chen nodded, walked in with strides, his voice languid, "I'll be staying here for a long time to come."

"Why?" Wang Tai puzzled, scratching his buzz cut, "Isn't that villa beside the club nice enough for you?"

Jin Chen gave him a look, "With all this talk, this month's bonus is gone."

Wang Tai: "... Ah?"

He resentfully sorted the clothes, his tone accusatory, "You capitalists are truly heartbreaking."

Another head poked in from outside the wardrobe, even younger.

"Boss, the kitchen cabinet here seems to have a problem; it needs fixing, but we don't have a screwdriver."

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, leaning against the wall, "Can I conjure a screwdriver for you?"

Xiao Li shook his head, "No."

"Then why not go buy one?"

"Oh." Xiao Li scratched his head.

Wang Tai made a sound, "Isn't there a neighbor across the way? Why not borrow a screwdriver?"

"Hmm…? Good idea!"

Jin Chen leisurely rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing just-right forearm muscles, "I'll go borrow."

Having said that, he turned and walked away.

Wang Tai and Xiao Li looked at each other, "The boss is unusually diligent today!"

Normally he'd even find it tiring to walk out for takeout!

Xiao Li nodded slowly, "As long as we have a screwdriver."

Wang Tai: "..." Is that the point!

——

Jin Chen knocked again on the opposite main gate.

This time he waited a bit longer; the action of opening the door still showed hesitation.

Zhongyu Yu was genuinely hesitant.

He had already changed into the shooting long robe, fox makeup done; in daily life it inevitably looks strange.

But he still opened the door.

Jin Chen waited; as he lifted his eyes, a flash of amazement crossed his gaze, "Sorry, if it's not trouble, I'd like to borrow a screwdriver."

Zhongyu Yu didn't miss Jin Chen's expression; the subtle unease vanished, "Okay, I'll go find one for you."

Jin Chen stood by the door, watching Zhongyu Yu jog in, crouching by the living-room cabinet to search, the long smoke-blue skirt piled up in soft folds, hair cascading down; even his back view was breathtakingly beautiful.

Moreover… a fluffy fox tail was tied at his waist, concealed by the gauzy long robe, truly resembling a fox spirit that had strayed into the real world.

Jin Chen rubbed his fingers together, wanting to touch.

Before he could finish admiring, Zhongyu Yu had already found two screwdrivers and walked over.

"Thank you."

Jin Chen took it, his tone maintaining just-right propriety, "If you ever need help later, you can also come to me."

Zhongyu Yu politely replied, "Good."

Who would have thought I could still hear a compliment.

"This outfit and makeup look great on you; they really suit you," Jin Chen said with a smile.

Zhongyu Yu had heard compliments before, but being praised in reality was rare, and his impression of this new neighbor grew better and better.

His eyes, wearing blue colored contacts, sparkled brightly; a smile came from the heart, "Thank you."

After closing the door again, the little flutter of excitement that had just risen hadn't faded yet; Zhongyu Yu played with his long hair, humming a song as he flung himself onto the sofa, shaking his fair legs.

Ding-dong.

A WeChat message from landlord Dage.

Landlord: By the way, I want to let you know that a new neighbor has moved in across from you, right? He bought the whole floor, so from now on he'll be your landlord.

Landlord: This is his WeChat; add him, he's a nice person, and he's even waiving six months of rent for you!

Zhongyu Yu slowly widened his eyes, his long lashes trembling slightly in surprise.

The person just now was the new landlord!

Six months of rent...

Zhongyu Yu calculated in his mind: the flat is large, the rent isn't cheap, and he rented it for convenience in filming; suddenly having six months waived is a considerable sum.

Suddenly he felt he owed someone a favor.

Zhongyu Yu sent a friend request, waited a moment, but got no immediate reply; he supposed the other was still busy moving.

He didn't wait any longer, rubbed his stomach feeling a bit hungry, and upon checking the time realized it was almost twelve.

Zhongyu Yu thought for a while, then decided to finish shooting the remaining storyboards first, then change clothes and cook.

After another half hour, upon finishing he found that the other party had accepted the friend request, but there was no extra message.

Zhongyu Yu poked the screen, was typing on the keyboard, hesitating what to send, when a new message popped up.

Jin: Thanks for today's help, my name is Jin Chen.

Zhongyu Yu looked at these words and could almost imagine the new neighbor's voice saying them.

He's a good person, Zhongyu Yu thought.
