System: Master Your Life-Chapter 609 - 153: Bastard, Watch Closely—My Era Is Next!
After wandering around, Xu Lin felt that the famous Four Courtyards were just so-so.
Not nearly as good as large flat apartments and villas.
However, Xu Lin thought for a second, if someone could own a 500-600 square meter Four Courtyards within the second ring of the Capital City, would they lack large flats or villas?
"Maybe I’ll get a Four Courtyards set in the future if I get a chance?"
Xu Lin was done browsing around.
Upon returning, he saw that Pei Danqing had already changed into casual home clothes, her previously tied-up long hair was now loose, and she was making tea in the front yard.
There wasn’t any intricate tea-making process, just a tea set there, with a small pot of tea leaves beside it.
One of the cups and the ceramic kettle were exuding white hot steam.
"Want some tea?"
Director Pei asked as Xu Lin came back.
"I’ll try a cup."
Xu Lin came over, sat down at a nearby spot, and casually asked, "What kind of tea is this?"
"Taiping Houkui."
"Oh."
Xu Lin didn’t know much about tea and hadn’t heard of Taiping Houkui, so he didn’t know it was a rare type of tea.
Xu Lin picked up the kettle and poured a cup of water, then added a bit of tea leaves, and in no time the water started to turn green.
This was a type of green tea, besides which there are also black tea, dark tea, white tea, etc.
For the next half hour, the two of them casually chatted as they drank tea.
Half an hour later, Director Pei said, "I see it’s not late, I’ll take you to see your room."
"Okay."
With that, Xu Lin followed the other person to the first courtyard.
Inside the Four Courtyards, the layout was quite complicated, with divisions of first, second, and third courtyards. The third courtyard, for example, had the north and south as the main room, the inverted room, and the east and west wing rooms.
At this time, Director Pei pointed to the east and west wing rooms, "These two rooms, the east and west wing rooms, which one would you like to stay in?"
"The east wing room!"
Xu Lin was a guest, so he didn’t say much about having a place to stay. It would be impolite to be picky when you’ve been given a place to stay. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Pei Danqing added, "I live in the main room. If you need anything, you can call me. Oh, by the way, all rooms have a bathroom."
"Okay."
"By the way, your clothes?"
"I’ll wash them and hang them to dry in a bit."
He decided to sleep without clothes tonight.
Pei Danqing nodded slightly, "That shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
Xu Lin: "No problem, Director Pei, you should rest early too."
"Just call me Pei."
Xu Lin calling her Director Pei felt a bit awkward to her, "Privately, you can call me Pei. In formal situations, you can call me Director Pei."
"Okay."
Modern Four Courtyards have been renovated with everything you might need, like bathrooms and air conditioning.
After the two parted, Xu Lin moved into the east wing room.
His clothes were still at the hotel; he only had the set he was wearing.
It was still quite hot in May. Xu Lin had taken a shower in the afternoon, and now he was already starting to sweat a bit.
Moreover, he was a clean person.
The suit jacket didn’t need washing, but the shirt, pants, and underwear definitely did.
Xu Lin washed the clothes and pants while showering.
The room had air conditioning, so his clothes and pants could be dried in its breeze. Moreover, suit pants and shirts dry quite easily.
By the time he finished all this, it was almost midnight.
Xu Lin lay on the bed, not quite sleepy, and after some thought, he made a video call to the big sister.
The big sister was still busy in front of the computer, her phone placed to the side, where Xu Lin could see her and the computer, as well as her hands on the keyboard.
"What’s up?"
Chi Linyue glanced at him.
"Couldn’t sleep, so I came to chat with you."
"Oh."
Chi Linyue noticed the unique architectural style behind Xu Lin, which was not the style of modern buildings, but rather akin to ancient-style structures.
"Where are you?"
"Capital City."
This time, Xu Lin traveled far without telling anyone, except Shang Wanjun, who had approved a long vacation for him.
"Hmm? What are you doing in Capital City?"
Xu Lin briefly explained why he came to Capital City.
"Impressive, doing music composition for a show on CCTV!"
Chi Linyue was quite surprised.
Xu Lin: "Let me tell you something interesting. Tonight, I had a dinner meeting, with an old Bastard..."
"This old man is so full of himself? Trying to put you in your place?"
"So I didn’t hold back and talked back to him right there."
Xu Lin laughed heartily.
"Of course, you can’t give in to people like that. Just because they’ve lived a few decades longer, they think they’re all that!"
Chi Linyue didn’t care about being reasonable; she was on Xu Lin’s side regardless. And today, Xu Lin had the advantage.
Chi Linyue then asked, "Where are you staying in Capital City now?"
"Four Courtyards."
"Oh, you’re staying in a Four Courtyards? Can you rent a Four Courtyards there?"
"It’s a friend’s Four Courtyards."
"You have friends there?"
"Yeah, I just met one today."
"Male or female?"
Chi Linyue pressed for more details.
Xu Lin immediately thought he was busted, wishing he hadn’t said anything, especially since Director Pei was a beautiful woman.
"Male."
He said.
"Oh." Chi Linyue didn’t think much of it.
Xu Lin thus got by without issue.
"I’ve never stayed in a Four Courtyards before," Chi Linyue said.
"Actually, there’s nothing much to Four Courtyards; it’s just like that. I took a look around today, hmm, it was alright, I suppose I used to have a filter for Four Courtyards."
"Can you shoot a video for me tomorrow?"
"Okay, I’ll shoot one for you tomorrow."
The two chatted for another ten minutes or so before ending the conversation.
Xu Lin finally went to sleep at that time.
At the same time, there was a rumor online about Xu Lin’s dinner event tonight and his dispute with veteran Wu Zongting from the music composition community. The gist, due to the absence of a video or pictures, it didn’t become a hot topic—just something a marketing account casually mentioned.
