Chapter 109

  Shi Chengyu became a small department manager, just above Yu Cai's direct supervisor, so Gao Jing naturally didn't have the opportunity to give Yu Cai a hard time again, and Xu Linxin also returned to work normally. However, rumors about Yu Mouren and the new department manager slowly spread, Yu Cai felt very helpless, indeed in this big world there is nothing strange, her appearance and Shi Chengyu's appearance can also be rumored by people, those people's imagination is really powerful!

  One day, when Yu Cai was enduring her colleague's teasing for the hundred and first time, a fiery beauty burst into the office, shouting "Yu Cai!"

  Just as everyone was guessing the numerous conspiracies and betrayals behind her, the beauty grasped Yu Cai's right hand with deep emotion, "Yu Cai, I have nowhere else to go, you must take me in!"

  Yu Caihua was stunned, Zhang Mei, we don't have such a deep relationship, do we?

  Zhang Mei's story is simple and melodramatic, nothing more than being forced into marriage by her family until she had no choice but to run away from home in protest. After Zhang Mei recounted her extremely tragic experience with utmost indignation, Yu Cai considerately handed her a cup of warm water, "Xiao Jie, why don't you just stay here then? It's perfect, we can keep each other company."

  Zhang Xiao was immediately moved, "A Cai, you are really a good person!"

  Yu Cai smiled, "The house belongs to Uncle Shi, and I'm just doing a favor. Tomorrow I'll help you make a copy of the key, so you can live here at ease, don't be polite with me."

  So, Yucai had a new roommate. In some ways, this was absolutely a good thing. Yucai wasn't particularly brave, but she also wasn't cowardly. Living alone in a two-bedroom apartment made her feel a bit scared. She always came back before dark and locked all the doors and windows, refusing to go out again until dawn.

  And that roommate is also a good roommate, enthusiastic and generous, but just right won't be annoying, it's just that life is a bit messy, things like clothes are thrown around, and the rest time is not regular, okay, for Yu Cai who has good sleep habits and is meticulous, this is absolutely a depressing thing.

  On the other hand, Zhang Xiaomei found that Yu Cai was a roommate who was too good to be true. Although she wasn't very good at cooking, she would always go out of her way to prepare some hot food for her when she came back hungry. She would also throw her dirty clothes into the washing machine and neatly fold or hang them up in her closet. The only bad habit she had was that she liked to wake up early, but it didn't affect Zhang Xiaomei much. Although Yu Cai sometimes woke her up, with her sleeping skills, she could usually fall back asleep within five seconds.

  "Azai, hurry up, I'm starving!"

  Yu Cai raised her head and smiled, seemingly from the start, Zhang Xiao had shown her special kindness, and she was a very likable girl, she liked her very much. Over the years, due to Ji Shi's influence, and her own sensitive nature, apart from a few university roommates, she really didn't have many female friends. Even Gu Yueyue, who used to be so close, had fallen by the wayside in the long river of time, so she cherished her friendship with Zhang Xiao very much.

  "I had some fried rice for dinner and there's still some left, I'll heat it up for you."

  A bowl of stir-fried rice with some side dishes, along with a cup of steaming hot milk, was soon placed on the table. Zhang Xiao couldn't stop exclaiming how delicious it smelled, which was also one of the reasons Yu Cai liked her - she wasn't picky at all and appreciated simple food and drink.

  "Hey, Yucui, you're really virtuous. If not, you might as well not get married and just muddle along."

  Yu Cai laughed, "This is what it means to be virtuous and gentle. If you saw Xia Yunyun's mother, you would know what true virtue and gentleness are."

  "What does it have to do with me if she is virtuous or not? It's not her who gives me food."

  "By the way, Jianxun called me today and asked when you're going back."

  Zhang Xiaoqi indignantly said, "That little traitor, he didn't even dare to let me stay for two days, and now he dares to come here as a mediator!"

  "He said that if you don't go home now, Old Man Zhang will personally come to catch people, and at that time I will also be accused of harboring a fugitive."

  Zhang Xiao was on guard, "You won't betray me too, will you?"

  Yu Cai also laughed, "It's not a question of whether to sell or not, Jian Xun sent me that boy's photo today, and he doesn't look as terrifying as you said, with a short stature and a face like no salt?"

  "Anyway, I just don't like him. Having to face someone I dislike for the rest of my life is worse than death."

  "The key is that Miss has been single for so many years and hasn't even had a crush on anyone, no wonder Uncle Zhang is anxious."

  "Yu Cai," Zhang Xiao put down his chopsticks and supported his chin with both hands, "You said, isn't it that everyone will encounter a heart-wrenching love, only some are early and some are late. The early ones, like Cheng Yu, withered before they even sprouted. The late ones, like me, couldn't hold on and hastily got married. Those who met at the right time and didn't miss their chance are few and far between, and those who ended up together in the end are almost nonexistent?"

  Yu Cai was stunned, and after a while, she smiled lightly, "Is Xiao Jie waiting for her own heart-wrenching emotions?"

  Zhang Xiao nodded seriously, "I'm twenty-eight now, by rights I shouldn't be waiting anymore, but I'm afraid that when true love comes, I'll already have lost the qualification to love".

  Yu Cai smiled bitterly, "Alright, Xiao Jie, I'm convinced by you. You can stay as long as you like, and I will never yield to the evil forces."

  Zhang Xiao was delighted, "Then I'll thank you first, by the way, let's go buy clothes tomorrow, the weather is warming up, it's time to change into spring clothes."
