Chapter 518: Did You Miss Me?

Surprisingly, Bai Aiwen didn’t cry again, nor did she say anything else, she just remained silent and didn’t speak anymore.

Seeing her like this, everyone didn’t disturb her further and just left the space to her.

Xinyan came out of the dormitory, greeted those heading to the cafeteria, and then took her bicycle to go outside the main gate.

Unless there are special circumstances, she usually goes back to the small courtyard to eat.

As soon as she exited the school gate, she saw He Jinxuan standing not far away.

Although he didn’t possess a majestic bearing or an impressive demeanor, He Jinxuan, being a former soldier, stood tall with a face full of masculinity, which was exactly the type she liked. Most importantly, he was very pleasing to the eye.

Upon seeing Xinyan coming out, He Jinxuan also had a smile on his face and waved at her, "Yanyan."

Xinyan pushed her bicycle and walked toward him, "How long have you been waiting?"

He Jinxuan took the bicycle she was pushing, "Not long, I’ll take the bike."

Grabbing the bicycle, after leaving the school gate, he could no longer hide his feelings and reached out to hold Xinyan’s hand, his heart racing instantly, "Yanyan, I missed you so much."

When her hand was grasped by him, Xinyan felt sweet inside but also had a guilty conscience of a thief, nervously glancing around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she felt relieved.

Before she could reply, He Jinxuan came directly with another line: "Did you miss me?"

This question made Xinyan blush intensely, and instead of answering, she countered, "What do you think?"

He Jinxuan looked at the expression on her face and laughed, "Definitely just like me."

With this remark, Xinyan gave him a side glance and said coquettishly, "You know, so why ask?"

He Jinxuan acted a bit silly, "But I just want to ask, want to hear you say it."

The two held each other’s hands tightly and walked towards the small courtyard.

After a good while, Xinyan remembered the two little guys, "Where are Sili and Siyan?"

He Jinxuan, thinking about the scene where he outsmarted those two little guys just to come and pick Xinyan up alone, couldn’t help but laugh, "They’re with Granny Zhang in the small courtyard."

Speaking of the small courtyard, He Jinxuan thought about what Qin Peiyi had mentioned over the phone earlier, "Yanyan, Qin Peiyi said that he has helped rent out that house, but since we have many rooms in that courtyard, it was rented out to three families."

Hearing him say this, Xinyan asked, "Three families?"

"I was thinking with so many rooms, we’d likely have to rent out to many families, after all, who would rent such a big house to live in for just one family."

He Jinxuan shook the hand he was holding with Xinyan, "It just so happens that two of the households are from out of town, and they’re living with their entire families. I told Qin Peiyi before that I didn’t want tenants to build randomly in the courtyard.

The five main rooms and four side rooms of the second yard were rented by one family, and the five main rooms and two side rooms of the front yard were rented by another family. The remaining family rented the other two side rooms of the front yard, but they built a temporary kitchen outside, near the courtyard wall.

I went to have a look today, and it was done nicely, without destroying the overall appearance of the courtyard. Moreover, the three families are diligent, and the courtyard is well maintained.

The leases are all for one year, and according to your previous request, they signed rental agreements. The agreements and rent are with Qin Peiyi, who called me before his business trip to explain the situation and said he’d bring the documents and rent over to you once he’s back."

Xinyan looked at He Jinxuan, "Have him give them to you. Don’t bring them to me."

Hearing Xinyan’s words, He Jinxuan, somewhat amused, said, "Alright, I get what you mean, no worries. Once I receive them, I’ll hand them over to you for safekeeping."

Xinyan broke free from the handholding and directly punched He Jinxuan on the arm, "What do you understand?"

He Jinxuan raised his hand to catch Xinyan’s hand, continuing to hold it in his own, "Alright, alright, I’m just talking nonsense, okay? But the money, once collected, still needs to be given to you for safekeeping, that can’t be changed."

Xinyan did not argue with him further, thinking that a part of his possessions was already in her hands, a little more wouldn’t make a difference. Before she gets married, she wouldn’t touch the money he kept with her; she just wanted to give him peace of mind.
