"Are you really out of money?"

Situ Mingyue furrowed her cute little brows.

Just now, when she asked Migrant Lin to pay the rent, this guy eagerly reached into his pocket as if ready to hand over the money.

Then... after searching all over himself, he turned into this listless state, blinking innocent eyes, like a deflated balloon, his worker's face shriveled.

Although God is fair; for every window he closes, he surely opens another. But, in Migrant Lin's case, the "failed to act cool" warning seems to appear in red because he's too bulky to fit through God's newly opened window.

"Ah, poor soul!"

Situ Mingyue shook her head and sighed internally, deeply sympathizing with Lin Hai, because his actions clearly aimed to show off a bit in front of her, perhaps flaunting wealth. Sadly, it backfired.

"By the way, can you stop staring at my chest?"

Situ Mingyue felt quite unhappy inside. Although Lin Hai seemed innocent, being ogled by a stinking man was intolerable for a young maiden like her.

Could Migrant Lin be really desperate? Situ Mingyue couldn't help recalling advice from her seniors: beware of men getting handsy when desperate.

If not for him saving Lin Mengru earlier, Situ Mingyue felt she would've definitely kicked him out, preserving the harmony of the dormitory.

"Uh, I was just trying to tell you that your button fell off..."

Lin Hai blinked his eyes and explained.

Situ Mingyue quickly lowered her head.

She saw that though her chest didn't reach 36D, it was developing well—probably thanks to all the nourishing fried eggs during her childhood.

However, at this moment, the button between the first and third had mysteriously fallen off.

And the clothes she wore today were a bit tight to accentuate her figure.

Thus, it created a scene that sparked endless imagination—a wide gap exposed at the chest, and from Lin Hai's view, the pink bra was quite apparent, seemingly forming a small valley echoing a phrase: "where there's a valley, there's fire."

"Ah—"

Startled, Situ Mingyue crisscrossed her arms in front of her chest and retreated a few steps warily.

"Uh, I didn't see that you were wearing a pink bra; I sincerely just wanted to let you know a button fell off."

Lin Hai quickly explained.

Situ Mingyue's pretty face instantly flushed a drunken blush, her entire being embarrassed to the point her ears turned bright red, wishing she could find a hole to bury herself in.

"You...no looking."

"Uh, I won't look."

"Then turn around and close your eyes."

Lin Hai obediently turned around.

Internally speechless, encountering such a timid and bashful little sister was indeed rare.

Were it someone like Battle Lord or Mayor Tao, they'd probably have seized the opportunity to flaunt themselves and claim "Ya Mei" even stronger.

Two minutes later, Situ Mingyue's voice rang out: "You can turn back around."

Lin Hai turned and instinctively glanced at her chest first, noticing she'd already changed clothes.

"Well, both Mengru and I are poor, no money to help you with rent." Situ Mingyue got straight to the point.

Lin Hai nodded, indeed forgetting to bring extra cash with him, it's a bad habit.

"Uh, I really didn't bring money today, but there is in the card, I'll go withdraw and give it to you tomorrow, okay?"

"You really have it, right?" Situ Mingyue questioned doubtfully.

Lin Hai felt like crying, do I really look so destitute?

"Uh, no matter how poor, I can still afford a few hundred for rent."

Situ Mingyue pondered, indeed unable to bear driving him away.

Especially pitying someone alone in Yanjing where he knows no one. Sleeping on the street... just imagining it couldn't be more pitiful.

The girl was kind-hearted, deeply moved by compassion.

Especially Lin Hai's current expression, a classic look of pretending to be pitiful.

After considering for a few seconds, Situ Mingyue decided to trust Lin Hai and said, "You just stay in this small room tonight, but just so you know, no going to the bathroom at night."

"Ah? Why?" Lin Hai's eyes widened; what if I urgently need to relieve myself at night? Am I supposed to hold it in and die?

"Because I sleep without clothes at night, what if you see my delicate body?"

"Oh my!"

Lin Hai was already too exhausted to even comment.

"By the way, do you know how to do housework?" Situ Mingyue asked.

"Uh... a bit." Lin Hai thought for a moment and nodded; as a soldier, on the first day in boot camp, they learned how to clean, and because he didn't clean well, he was once punished to run five kilometers.

"Great, then you handle all the house chores from now on."

"Ah? Why?"

Lin Hai was dumbfounded.

"Because both Mengru and I are girls, I have to go to school, and Mengru's health isn't good."

Pausing for a moment, Mingyue added: "Judging by your strong physique, cleaning shouldn't be too hard?"

Lin Hai really wanted to stay, especially to spend more time with his sister.

"Alright, I'll take care of the cleaning."

Hearing Lin Hai agree, Situ Mingyue immediately looked thrilled.

Lin saw Situ's gaze and felt she was seeking a cleaning worker, suspecting he was being used.

"Can you cook?" Situ Mingyue seemed to think of something else.

"Gosh, besides a cleaner, you also want a cook?" Lin Hai's inner complaints reached an extreme.

He reluctantly nodded: "A little bit."

"Great, I know nothing at all, so cooking is now your responsibility. Your monthly rent reduced by a hundred yuan, how about that?" Situ Mingyue excitedly clapped her hands.

"..." What could Lin Hai say? Nodding was as good as agreeing.

Situ Mingyue seemed particularly pleased, acting as if she'd discovered treasure, and affectionately patted Lin Hai on the shoulder, saying playfully: "You're just staying here from now on, don't worry, I'm very familiar with this area. If you get lost, remember to call me."

After speaking, the girl, without any precautions, shared her phone number with Beast Lin.

"Alright, I'll go study, and you go buy groceries to prepare dinner. When Mengru wakes up, it'll be just in time for dinner." Situ Mingyue assigned the cooking task.

Lin Hai sighed dejectedly, extending two fingers and rubbing them.

"What does that mean?" Situ Mingyue asked puzzled.

"Sis, I didn't bring any money." Lin Hai blinked innocently.

"Plus, I don't know where there's an ATM."

Situ Mingyue smacked her forehead: "How did I forget about that?"

"Here, take some money, go buy some meat; we're having a feast today."

The girl generously said, then headed into the small room, presumably to study.

Lin Hai set off dejectedly, clutching twenty yuan, this called a feast?

Still, thinking of how his sister had been living like this all along, he felt even more pained.

"In a few days, I'll make sure you have a real feast." Lin Hai firmly grasped the twenty yuan and headed in the direction Situ Mingyue had pointed to the market.
