Chapter 12: White stockings again for the new tenant? Chen Mo's reputation is completely ruined
The white stockings were crumpled into a ball, the thin fabric gleaming softly under the living room lights.
It's clear that this isn't the first time she's worn these white stockings.
Coco held the stockings up in front of Chen Mo, tilted her head, her braid slipped down her shoulder, and smiled brightly.
"Brother, I heard from Xiaolu that this can be used as rent, so I've prepared it all for you."
Her tone was light and natural, without the slightest hesitation, as if she were handing over a pack of tissues or a hair tie.
Little Deer peeked out from behind Xiao Rou, saw the brand-new white silk in Coco's hand, grinned, and winked at Chen Mo.
"How's it going, Brother Mo? Did I do a good job promoting it for you?"
Her tone carried a hint of smug pride, and her ponytail swayed back and forth behind her head.
Chen Mo looked at the brand-new white silk in Coco's hand, then glanced at Xiao Lu's smiling face, and his lips twitched slightly.
It’s over.
This has completely ruined my reputation!
He's already been labeled a perverted landlord by the three young women who collect stockings and milk foam. Now, Xiao Lu is passing on this "experience" to the new girl, Coco, who has prepared white stockings in advance, clearly indicating that she came prepared.
What does this tell us?
His image changed from a kind landlord who took in homeless girls to a strange man who collected girls' underwear.
Chen Mo took a deep breath, trying to keep his expression calm.
He reached out and took the brand-new white silk from Coco's hand.
It doesn't matter anymore.
System rewards are the most important.
Besides these stockings, these young women don't seem to have anything else to offer.
After handing out the stockings, Coco let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had accomplished something great, and relaxed completely.
She turned to look at Tian Tian, then at Xiao Lu and Xiao Rou, and finally fixed her gaze on Chen Mo, grinning.
"Brother Mo, you're so kind. I thought I was going to be sleeping in an internet cafe again tonight."
Chen Mo stuffed the bag of white silk into his hoodie pocket.
The three girls' eyes followed his hand in unison, then looked away again, each with a subtle change in expression.
Chen Mo pulled his hand out of his pocket and silently gave himself a pep talk.
Forget it.
So what if he's a pervert?
The system rewards are the real ones.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully taking in a tenant. The rent is one white silk thread. Reward: a Yamaha classical guitar, with master-level playing skills.]
Chen Mo's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
Guitar master.
This skill might not be very useful in normal circumstances, but it can be useful in certain situations, such as when a man needs to show off his skills at the right time.
The value of this skill far exceeds what money can measure.
He had a dream since he was a child: to become a wandering singer with a guitar on his back.
Learning guitar was just too hard, so he couldn't stick with it. Unexpectedly, he now possesses top-level guitar skills without any effort at all.
He's just missing one singing skill, and then he'll be able to sing and play guitar at the same time.
Just thinking about it is exciting.
Chen Mo believed that he would be able to realize this dream soon.
As the number of tenants and the variety of items collected increase, the system's rewards will only become more and more extravagant.
Even if people think he's a pervert, he accepts it.
Chen Mo put his hands in his pockets, turned around and walked towards the sofa, behind him came Xiao Lu's low voice.
"See, I told you, Brother Mo will take anything."
Then came Coco's voice, with a tone of sudden realization.
"Really? Little Deer, you weren't lying to me."
Chen Mo paused for a moment.
He took a deep breath and continued walking, pretending he hadn't heard anything.
Chen Mo pointed to the two closed doors at the end of the corridor and looked at Tian Tian and Ke Ke.
"There are two rooms left. Which one do you plan to stay in?"
Sweetie and Coco exchanged a glance.
Their eyes met briefly in mid-air, and almost simultaneously, the corners of their mouths curved into smiles.
Coco spoke first, her tone as relaxed as if she were stating something perfectly natural.
"Brother Mo, we can share a room with Xiaorou and Xiaolu."
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment.
"What?"
He thought he had misheard, and his gaze moved from Coco's face to Sweetie's face, and then from Sweetie's face to the three girls on the sofa.
"You five are going to squeeze into one room?"
Sweetie and Coco nodded at the same time, their expressions both natural and without any sign of reluctance.
"Yes."
Coco tilted her head, her braid slipping down her shoulder, and spoke in a light, airy tone.
Chen Mo's lips twitched slightly.
"How can anyone sleep like this?"
A 1.8-meter bed can only fit three people at most, and now it needs to fit five people. With the sofa in the room, it can only fit four people at most.
Five people were crammed into a 20-square-meter room, and they could bump into each other if they turned around.
Little Deer leaned out from the sofa and waved with a grin.
"There's enough room, there's room for one more person to squeeze into the bed, and there's also a sofa in the room where another person can sleep."
She counted on her fingers, her tone relaxed.
"We used to do this when we booked hotel rooms. At least five or six people would sleep in one room, and it would only cost about ten yuan per person when split up. It's more cost-effective than staying overnight at an internet cafe."
Xiao Rou nodded in agreement, her voice soft but her tone earnest.
"Yes, Brother Mo, we're already very happy that you've taken us in, so we won't take up any of your other rooms."
She paused, shifting her gaze from Chen Mo's face to the two doors in the corridor.
"Besides, you didn't charge us much rent. The five of us can just squeeze in."
Xiao Lu and Sister Nan nodded in agreement, and even Sister Nan, who is usually quiet, gave a soft "hmm".
Coco stood to the side, her hands in the pockets of her military green jacket, her shoulders slightly shrugged.
"Brother Mo, we'd be content with just a place to shelter from the wind and rain, we're not picky."
Sweetie didn't say anything, but stood quietly next to Coco and nodded, her round eyes filled with sincerity.
Chen Mo looked at the five pairs of young eyes staring at him.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately swallowed his words back.
He wasn't the type to force people to do things against their will, and besides, they had already said so much; if he insisted any further, it would just make him seem pretentious.
"Alright, you can decide for yourselves then."
Chen Mo waved his hand.
A smile bloomed on the faces of all five girls at the same time.
Just then, a voice emerged from the crowd.
Gollum—
It was very light, but exceptionally clear in the quiet living room.
Chen Mo's gaze followed the sound.
It definitely wasn't Xiaorou, Xiaolu, or Xiaonan; they had just eaten breakfast not long ago.
The sound was coming from Coco's direction.
