After I kicked out my boss, I became a landlady

Chapter 144: Bad Boy?

Sure enough, after welcoming the first tenant Li Xuye yesterday, the situation seemed to have some new changes.

That’s right, it’s the boy who dresses in a non-mainstream way. His name really doesn’t match his unique image at all.

Wen Nuan was also really surprised when she learned his name, and she kept wondering how such an unruly boy could have such a sunny name.

However, Li Xuye made it clear that he didn't like people calling him by his name, and insisted that everyone call him "The Count of Dislike". His tone was quite firm, as if the name "The Count of Dislike" was worthy of his unique style.

Wen Nuan could only shake her head helplessly after hearing this, thinking that as long as he abided by the rental regulations, he could call her whatever he wanted. After all, it was not easy to have a tenant nowadays.

Today is truly a warm highlight moment.

Early in the morning, she welcomed another couple who came to see her about renting a house. This was really good luck as she successfully opened another deal.

The couple was very decisive and booked a large single room directly.

I heard that they both just graduated and haven’t found a job yet. They’re both computer science majors.

Wen Nuan looked at this pair of energetic and sunny young people who had just entered the society and was quite optimistic about them. She thought they were simple and energetic, and felt that it would be easy to deal with them.

But in the afternoon, things were a little different.

Wen Nuan welcomed a new tenant, but when she saw the young man in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little headache.

The boy had a bruised face and nose, and the clothes and pants he was wearing had been washed so much that the original color was almost invisible. There was also something like paint on them, making them colorful and messy.

Wen Nuan looked at the dirty, colorful clothes on the young man and felt suspicious. She felt that the clothes were so dirty that they could be used to open a dyeing factory.

At this time, Wen Nuan asked again: "Hello, are you planning to come here to rent a house?"

The young man was standing ten meters away from her. He just nodded slightly but did not respond.

Seeing this, Wen Nuan asked tentatively: "Should I take you to see the house?"

This time, the young man took a long time before he whispered, "I want to... I want to see a house. I want a cheap one."

His voice was low and seemed to carry a hint of timidity. Listening to it, Wen Nuan couldn't help but feel more curious about this strange young man. She didn't know what he had been through to have him appear here like this to rent a house.

Wen Nuan looked at the cautious boy and felt a trace of pity in her heart.

She smiled and said, "Then come with me." Then she took the boy upstairs.

Along the way, the boy always kept a distance from warmth, looking around from time to time, as if he was wary of everything around him.

Wen Nuan didn't mind and patiently introduced the house.

"We have rooms of different prices here. Although the cheaper rooms are smaller in size, they still have complete facilities." Wen Nuan said softly.

The boy followed silently, without saying a word, but there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Arriving at the door of a cheaper room, Wen Nuan opened the door and let the boy go in to take a look.

The boy hesitated for a moment before slowly walking into the room. Although the room was not big, it was warmly decorated with a single bed, a desk and a wardrobe.

The boy walked around the room, then stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside. Wen Nuan looked at his back and asked, "What do you think of this room?"

The boy was silent for a moment before he whispered, "Not bad... not bad."

Wen Nuan saw that he was quite satisfied with the room, so she continued, "If you decide to rent this room, we can sign a lease contract and you can move in as soon as possible."

The boy turned around and looked at Wen Nuan, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

After a while, he said, "I...I don't have that much money. Can I pay part of the rent first?"

Wen Nuan thought about it and felt that it was not easy for this boy, so she nodded and agreed. "Okay, but you have to pay the remaining rent as soon as possible."

A trace of gratitude appeared on the boy's face, and he quickly said, "Okay, I will make it up as soon as possible."

In this way, Wen Nuan successfully rented out another room.

Wen Nuan looked at the slightly embarrassed young man Lin Sen with sympathy in her heart. She said softly, "Do you want to treat your wound?" Then she took out the medical kit from the drawer and placed it in front of him.

After hearing Wen Nuan's words, Lin Sen was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect Wen Nuan to care about him. After all, in the place where he lived before, he was always regarded as a bad boy by others because of various wounds on his body, and he suffered countless cold eyes.

Wen Nuan applied medicine to Lin Sen gently, being extremely careful, as if she was afraid of hurting this stubborn young boy.

During this process, she spoke to Lin Sen in a soft voice and slowly pried open the door to his heart.

As the conversation deepened, Wen Nuan gained a more comprehensive understanding of Lin Sen's life experience.

Lin Sen is an orphan who was abandoned in a garbage can when he was young. He was picked up by an old scavenger grandmother and brought him home to be raised.

But two years ago, Grandma Liu passed away due to illness, and he lived alone in the Tiantang community.

Recently, Grandma Liu's son heard that the area was going to be demolished, so he came to ask for the house. How could Lin Sen, a boy of only seventeen, compete with them for the house?

As paint was constantly splashed on him, his clothes became all kinds of colors and it was impossible to tell their original colors.

Today, he was kicked out of the house and had nowhere to live. He could only muster up the courage to come in and rent a house after seeing the warm rental advertisement.

Lin Sen was deeply moved when he saw Wen Nuan's gentle expression. He nodded shyly and said happily, "Thank you, sister."

When Wen Nuan saw his appearance, she felt more and more that he was not a bad boy. She guessed that he must have been bullied outside and that was why he became like this.

So she said softly: "If you are bullied, you can find the police or tell your family."

Wen Nuan regretted the words as soon as they came out of her mouth. Lin Sen's eyes dimmed instantly, and he whispered, "I don't have any family anymore."

After hearing this, Wen Nuan was immediately annoyed. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

She accidentally touched the other person's sore spot. Looking at Lin Sen's lonely look, Wen Nuan was filled with guilt and secretly blamed herself for being so bad at speaking.

After a moment of silence, Wen Nuan quickly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. But you'll be living here from now on, and I'll treat you as a family member. If you have any problems, you can tell me, and I'll help you."

Lin Sen raised his head slightly, looked at Wen Nuan, and his eyes gradually brightened up again. He replied softly, "Yeah."

Then Lin Sen raised his head, his eyes revealing stubbornness and determination, and said, "Sister, I will pay the rent on time, don't worry."

Wen Nuan looked at his stubborn appearance and felt distressed again.

It's obvious that this child has been through a lot and is often bullied, but now he is still thinking about paying the rent on time. He is really sensible and heartbreaking.

Wen Nuan didn't know what to say for a moment. After a pause, she quickly said, "It's okay, Lin Sen. You can pay when you have money. Just settle down and treat this place as your own home. Don't think too much about other things."

After hearing Wen Nuan's words, Lin Sen's eyes reddened slightly. He nodded vigorously, his voice choking with sobs: "Thank you, sister. I will definitely pay the rent as soon as possible."

Wen Nuan gently patted Lin Sen's shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, don't be so formal. I believe in you. Go and tidy up your room first. If you need anything, just tell me."

Lin Sen responded and turned to walk towards the room. Wen Nuan stood there, looking at his back, sighing secretly, thinking to herself that she must take better care of this poor child.
