However,she heard a noise in the middle of the night, jolting her awake. She didn’t move, merely opening hereyes and looking in the direction of the light.
It was Ian going to the washroom. Every single time this happened, she found it extremely awkwardbecause the washroom had truly bad soundproofing, so she could hear the slightest noise loud andclear. She then quickly closed her eyes and continued feigning sleep.
Meanwhile, Ian had also tried his best to make as little noise as possible. After flushing the toilet, hewashed his hands before turning off the lights and coming out. Upon seeing that Cindy was still in thesame position on the sofa, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to his room.
When he’d gone back in and closed the door, Cindy who was outside breathed a sigh of relief as well.For some inexplicable reason, her face was slightly flushed. Such days are truly torturous! Perhaps itwas because of the incident that her sleep was disrupted for the rest of the night, for she kept joltingawake and glancing at Ian’s room. For some reason, she just felt uneasy.
Finally, the gossip on Ian and Cindy slowly subsided. After all, things like gossip couldn’t receiveendless attention, else it’d turn stale. When it was almost time, it was always necessary to turn downthe heat. Despite the diminished popularity and attention, both Ian and Cindy breathed easier. After all,
it wasn’t pleasant to be tailed by the paparazzi, and both of them were similar in that they wanted a lifewith more freedom.
Having lived under the same roof for half a month, both of them had somewhat gotten used to theother. The only thing that had them feeling discomfited was the house. There was only one room in thehouse, and while Cindy had no problems sleeping on the sofa, it was indeed inconvenient. Besides, theslightest movement in the washroom was clearly audible to the person outside. Ian was better off sincehe could hide away in his room, but Cindy had nowhere to go. When Ian was in the washroom, shecould only endure it outside.
Ian was aware of this issue, so he made some time for a house viewing with Cindy to resolve thisproblem that was embarrassing yet difficult to speak of. The house they looked at had two rooms andwas slightly bigger. Otherwise, it was not much different. He was very respectful of Cindy’s opinion,asking her whether she had any dissatisfaction toward the environment or décor.
Cindy wasn’t a fastidious person in nature. After taking a look around, she realized that the two roomshad similar lightning and could be considered a double master bedroom. He’s probably showing meconsideration. She then nodded. “I’m fine with this.” novelbin
The house owner was an elderly couple who were up in years. They probably didn’t pay attention to thenews usually, for they didn’t recognize Ian at all. Rather, they regarded Ian and Cindy as a youngcouple who were looking for a place. Chuckling, the elderly man remarked, “This house of ours is bothfruitful and prosperous. After living in our house for a little over a year, the few tenants before thisenjoyed smooth sailing in their jobs, securing promotions and salary increments before purchasing ahouse themselves. Some couples also conceived after living here for a few months. Thus, this househas good juju.”
Cindy merely smiled politely without saying anything. Ian didn’t explain much either since theirrelationship now was indeed that of a couple.
As Cindy and Ian both looked decent, the elderly couple had no qualms renting the house to them,even saying that the rent could be lowered slightly if they were going to rent it long-term. The elderlyman was very frank, outright admitting, “I don’t want to find another tenant just after a year. That’s tootroublesome, so I’d prefer tenants who’ll be renting long-term.”
Ian turned to look at Cindy, indicating that the decision was in her hands. Looking around, Cindy thenrecalled the house in which they were living now. This was a much better improvement, so she nodded.“Not bad.” By saying this, it meant that she liked this place better. Right then and there, Ian talked tothe elderly man about signing the lease.
