Chapter 100
I bought takeout on the roadside and then dragged my suitcase towards the house I rented from Quentin.
The house he rented was located inside the village, and it took me three alleys to get there.
The houses were all simple and old–fashioned, with a maximum of only six or seven floors, so there were no elevators.
The room Quentin rented was 606. I looked up at it and took a deep breath, then walked into the hallway carrying my suitcase.
The box was heavy, and every time I went up a floor, I had to stop at the corner of the stairs and rest for a while.
When I reached the third floor, I was so exhausted that I couldn’t even stand up, leaning on my knees. Moreover, there were already injuries on my knees!
After resting for about ten minutes, I continued to climb up with the box in my hands.
Suddenly, someone behind me spoke to me, “Girl, let me help you.”
I was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look.
I saw a young person.
There was also a friendly aunt beside the young person.
The young man was tall and thin, with a dark complexion, and he looked quite energetic.

I shook my head busily and said, “No need, I can move it up by myself.”
Auntie smiled and said, “Let my son help you carry it up. We are all neighbors, and it is only right to help each other when we are away from home.”
“I really don’t need to, I…”
I wanted to decline, but the young person had already taken my suitcase and went up in a few steps.
The aunt smiled kindly at me and said, “It’s okay, my son is a kind- hearted person, he would often help new residents move their belongings.”
In the midst of the conversation, the young man at the corner of the fourth floor asked me, “Hey, girl, which floor do you live on?”
I pursed my lips and said, “Sixth floor.”
The aunt was instantly delighted and said, “That’s great! We also live on the sixth floor, so from now on we are really neighbors.”
“Oh, I see…
Actually, I was not good at communicating with strangers. Faced with Auntie’s joyful and kind smile, I also smiled along, “Then we can take care of each other in the future.”
“Ah, ah…”
Auntie nodded with joy and then said, “My son works at a
construction site nearby, young girl. Which factory do you work at?”
