How We Love - Volume 1 Chapter 7

Chapter 7 – Pay Me More

Yue Sisi was expectant, “I don’t care whether you’re going to hire him. Invite him out one day, I want to meet this legendary beauty!”

Cai Xin said helplessly, “And you just said there’s no use having a pretty face?”

Yue Sisi waved her hand nonchalantly, “Once it’s Zhang Heran’s level of handsome, the rest isn’t important anymore!”

Cai Xin felt that Yue Sisi was becoming more and more like a wolf.

Once Receptionist Xiao Mei knew that the handsome young man who was always looking for Cai Xin was Cai Xin’s candidate for a rental boyfriend, she couldn’t restrain herself and asked, “Older Sister Cai Xin, are you going to rent this xiao xian rou1 [javascript:void(0)]A colloquial term for a male teen idol, literally means little fresh meat. Used for handsome young men in general. or not? If not, don’t mind if I do!”

Cai Xin couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “Little Sister Xiao Mei, even though you’ve always called me older sister, I know that you’re actually two months older than me. I can’t even bring myself to open my mouth to eat that xiao xian rou, yet you’re opening your mouth so wide. Isn’t that too savage?”

Xiao Mei disagreed, “Hey, age is but a number! Either way, with his looks, no matter if he’s the one harassing me or I, him, I won’t be suffering a loss! It’s so rare for such excellent goods to appear, it would be a waste of natural resources to not take advantage and mine Yang for Yin2 [javascript:void(0)]The original phrase is to mine Yin for Yang which means to borrow feminine force to strengthen male health by sleeping with women, so this would be the opposite.!”

Cai Xin was completely speechless. At the same time, through Yue Sisi and Xiao Mei’s reaction, she finally realized one thing: Zhang Heran was pretty… eh, no. He was very good-looking, or maybe even extremely good-looking.

Because she had only ever been interested in Liu Yishuang, she had not been particularly interested in other men’s appearance. Liu Yishuang was the most handsome in her heart. But now she had no choice but to admit, she was an idealist and from an idealistic perspective, Zhang Heran indeed scored higher in terms of appearance.

The Spring Festival was quickly approaching. Other than Zhang Heran who was ready any time, Cai Xin had not managed to successfully contact other candidates.

She tentatively called home and asked, “Is it okay for Chinese New Year this year, I go back by myself and bring my boyfriend home some other time? After all, he also has to go back to his own family to celebrate New Year’s, right…”

She had not finished talking when her eardrums were almost shattered by her mother’s screech, “It’s fine, tell your dad and I the address, we’ll come with you to celebrate the New Year with his family!”

Cai Xin quivered and hung up the phone. Her parents… were terrifying! She racked her brains to figure out whether her parents would be angrier if she went home alone or whether they would be more annoyed if she brought home a younger man.

The next day, however, something happened that made her decide to hire Zhang Heran as her rental boyfriend.

When she got off work the next day, Zhang Heran was talking with Cai Xin and Yue Sisi coincidentally stopped by to have a heart-to-heart with Cai Xin again. After Yue Sisi saw Zhang Heran, her eyes brightened and a smile bloomed on her face like a flower. When Cai Xin sent Zhang Heran away, Yue Sisi immediately asked her, “Are you going to pounce on this xiao xian rou or not? If you don’t, I will!”

Cai Xin was startled, “This isn’t proper, no? He’s still young, Liu Yishuang is still better!”

Yu Sisi laughed, “Look at you, you said yourself you’ve given up on Liu Yishuang. It only took a few words to expose you! Hey, I won’t dawdle with you anymore, I’m ready to pounce!”

Seeing Yue Sisi’s charming smile, Cai Xin’s heart began to sink. She thought herself quite strange sometimes; they were obviously good friends, but ever since they were young, no matter if it was someone she liked or someone who liked her, someone she approached or someone who approached her, that person would eventually become Yue Sisi’s.

She was very worried that Yue Sisi would corrupt the young Zhang Heran. And so she finally made a painful decision that night: let’s hire this boy and bring him home.

After work the next day, she crossed the road and called Zhang Heran outside. She told him about her decision to rent him. She had thought Zhang Heran would breathe a sigh of relief and jump in joy, she didn’t expect that he would actually… sit down and haggle!

“But just now, your colleague also told me she wanted to rent me. So if you want my services, you have to pay me more.”
