47: Chapter 47: Acupuncture!

Buy a House!

Tang Xin lay in bed but felt as if she were floating in the clouds.

She had never imagined acupuncture could feel like this!

If she had known sooner, she would have sought acupuncture during those painful days of the month!

Little did she know.

Her voice sounded so strange.

Hey, I’m here to heal and save people!

I didn’t take the chance to do anything naughty!

Just as Wu Jie was worried about causing a misunderstanding…

Lin Yuan, wrapped in a blanket, hurried over.

However, once she peeked and saw Tang Xin’s door wide open with Wu Jie only inserting silver needles, she breathed a secret sigh of relief.

“So Xin’er also suffers from painful periods!”

Lin Yuan revealed an awkward yet polite smile and retreated back to her room.

But as she walked a few steps away, her smile stiffened.

Because…

She knew all too well what the sensation of acupuncture was like.

Her ears turned red, her pretty face burning, and she hurried back to her room with quickened steps.

Meanwhile, in the room.

Tang Xin had long since closed her eyes, slowly savoring that indescribable, mysterious sensation.

It was like floating on a cloud, soaking in a hot spring, or lying in a pile of cotton…

After finishing with the silver needles, Wu Jie sat back to the side.

“To give you acupuncture, I spent another thousand energy points, damn it!”

A minute passed!

Ten minutes passed…

Growing impatient, Wu Jie stood up and said,

“If you’re not ill, don’t indulge in the acupuncture for too long.

I need to get up early for work tomorrow and have to go back to sleep.”

“Hey, don’t go, brother, I… I haven’t laid down for that long!” Tang Xin called out anxiously.

“More than ten minutes now, and you still think it’s not enough?

Lin doesn’t take this long even when she’s sick!” Wu Jie complained.

Tang Xin opened her eyes and glanced sideways at Wu Jie, pouting and cooing, “I don’t care, I feel exceptionally comfortable and want to lie down longer.

Why don’t you just sleep here?

When I feel it’s about time, I’ll call you to remove the needles, and it won’t disrupt your sleep!”

“What?”

Wu Jie was stunned.

Tang Xin, oh Tang Xin!

Don’t you have any sense of shame?

Just like that, letting a man stay over in your room?

“What are you dawdling for?

I don’t mind, so what are you afraid of?

Turn off the lights and close the door!”

Tang Xin closed her eyes and continued to enjoy the acupuncture.

Wu Jie didn’t close the door or lie down next to Tang Xin, but instead, he sat down.

He grabbed his phone to browse live streaming, hoping to earn back the two thousand energy points he had spent.

Engrossed in this task, it quickly became one o’clock in the morning, and many streamers had stopped broadcasting.

Turning off the app, Wu Jie called out twice, but Tang Xin didn’t react at all.

Upon closer inspection, he found her sleeping soundly.

Her lips curved into a smile, her skin fair and blushing, who knew what pleasant dreams she was having.

Quietly removing the silver needles one by one, Tang Xin still didn’t wake up; she seemed too comfortable and fast asleep.

“Damn it!

Aren’t you being a little too trusting and bold?”

Muttering to himself, Wu Jie covered Tang Xin with the blanket and carefully turned off the lights and closed the door.

Boom!

Gently pulling the room door closed, Wu Jie suddenly sneered at himself,

“If I leave without doing anything, wouldn’t I be worse than a beast?”

He went back to his room and washed up.

Before bed, he checked his bank balance in the text message once more.

Over twenty million!

Going back to the village, that would be enough to be the richest man.

Renovating the old house, expanding the orchard, fixing up the fish pond, taking over the forest…

Buying a nice car and comfortably living like a little farmer back home didn’t seem so bad, did it!

But then again, shouldn’t this be the life that parents should enjoy in their old age?

At the prime of youth, and with the system as a companion, a mere twenty million is nothing, right?

However…

Every time Wu Jie thought of the sweet and charming Tang Xin next door, and the one-year bet on buying a house, he truly felt that purchasing a property was urgent.

New developments, second-hand properties, a bunch online in plentiful supply.

“North Third Ring, three-room suite with a single bathroom, luxury fittings, 6.8 million…

Damn, that’s over eighty thousand per square meter!”

“Prime school district property, basement level, luxury one-bedroom, 9.4 million…

Holy shit, why not just rob someone?

It’s even a damn basement!”

“Standard apartment outside the ring road, luxury one-room, 51 square meters, 2.52 million…

Damn, even suburban apartments are selling for so much?”

…

Stacked villas with five bedrooms and two living rooms, south-facing with an ideal location, coming with a full set of furniture and appliances, priced at twenty million.

“I’ve gotten too bold!

Even daring to look at villas now!”

Mocking himself, Wu Jie remembered that Tang Xin’s requirements were not high, just to standard not below the current place he rented from Lin Wan.

Searching for Tianyuan Xinya Community, the popped-up prices for second-hand houses were also frightening.

A house with the exact same layout and slightly better decor was priced at a lofty 7.1 million.

From this, it was clear that Lin Wan wasn’t poor at all!

A thirty percent down payment would require over two million anyway!

Of course, if he wasn’t buying a second-hand house in this community, then where else should he buy?

Tianyuan City is so big, one can’t just impulsively buy anywhere, can they?

This isn’t like picking radishes and cabbages in a vegetable market, it’s a deal worth millions!

Buying a house is a major event, it’s something to be researched slowly when there’s free time!

…

The alarm rang, 5:20 AM.

He rushed to get up, washed up, and then hurriedly went downstairs to drive to work.

By the time Wu Jie had changed into his uniform and equipment, and ran to the front entrance of the headquarters building, he was nearly late.

Line up, morning drill, handover!

As the sun rose, patrolling and standing guard had already begun.

Compared to others who were lively and spirited, Wu Jie was feeling sleepy.

Working as a security guard usually came with free housing, large dorm rooms, and steel frame beds.

To save money, others chose to live at the workplace, as renting a place to live was too expensive.

When Wu Jie rented Lin Wan’s place, he was thinking of convenience for getting to the project department, who thought it would come to this?

Could you not be sleepy after only four hours of sleep?

Wu Jie’s luck was also exceptionally bad: he was assigned to man the entrance of the parking lot.

Not only did he have to maintain a standard military posture, but he also had to stand at attention and salute for every car that came in.

There were just too damn many people from the group driving to work.

After repeatedly raising his arm, it was getting sore.

“Hey, isn’t that Jie?

Up early for work, huh?

Have you eaten breakfast yet?

Waking up early, sleeping late, you’ve got to take good care of your health!”

Cao Bin drove past and couldn’t help but throw a few sarcastic comments his way.

Wu Jie didn’t care; after all, he was now worth tens of millions, what was a mere Manager Liao to him!

Close to nine o’clock, Tang Xiao drove up in her SUV.

Seeing Wu Jie standing at attention and saluting, she couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

“You do look the part, don’t you?

Come to my office before ten o’clock!”

Tang Xiao tossed an elevator pass to Wu Jie and drove into the parking lot.

Not far away, Team Leader Guo Wei saw everything.

He had intended to watch Wu Jie for any signs of slacking off, but instead saw Tang Xiao chatting cheerfully with Wu Jie.

So, just after nine o’clock, Guo Wei informed Wu Jie that he could have a thirty-minute break and then it would be fine to sit at the monitoring center; he didn’t need to stand guard or patrol anymore.

The system had already reported the good news, garnering Guo Wei’s jealousy, so Wu Jie knew he had been seen.

With President Tang covering for him, how could he not give face?

Wu Jie immediately went to the canteen to fill his stomach, then swiped the card to go upstairs.

As Wu Jie, wearing a security guard uniform and without any prior notification, walked nonchalantly past the president’s secretaries’ office.

Xie Wanjun and others were taken aback but did not stop him.

Instead, they exchanged smiles, becoming even more convinced that the relationship between the two was not simple.

However, the moment Wu Jie saw Tang Xiao, he was greeted with an icy face.

“I had someone investigate you, the report is out, are you interested in taking a look?”

Although Tang Xiao’s voice was calm, her scrutinizing eyes were sharp as blades.
