Chapter 79 Buying a house now is incredibly cheap!
The dormitory conditions were decent, but it was still a four-person room.
When his roommates are all around, there are bound to be some inconveniences—for example, when he's writing a novel, those guys always like to come over and peek, asking all sorts of questions out of curiosity, which interrupts his train of thought from time to time.
Moreover, since everyone has different schedules and activities, some noise interference is inevitable.
Having your own house provides a completely independent space where you can write and think undisturbed.
Furthermore... if I get a girlfriend in the future, I'll have a cozy private place to go, which is better than always having to go to hotels.
With no training required on weekends, Chen Zhiyuan rarely felt like going for a morning run.
After waking up naturally, he washed up, changed into a refreshing and casual outfit, and stood in front of the dressing mirror—the young man in the mirror was tall and handsome, with confidence and vitality in his eyes.
He checked the time; it was just past eight in the morning. He picked up the phone and dialed He Fei's dormitory number.
The two had arranged to go see a house together today.
He Fei originally planned to work at the library on the weekend, but she specially switched places with someone to work in the evening.
The phone was answered after only two rings, and her clear, pleasant voice, tinged with anticipation, came through: "Zhiyuan, are you done?"
"Okay, let's go have breakfast first. See you at the entrance of the first canteen."
"Okay! I'm heading out right away!" He Fei's voice was filled with excitement.
In the girls' dormitory, several roommates looked at He Fei, who was obviously dressed up carefully today, and their eyes gleamed with gossip.
She not only carefully combed her long hair, which always partially covered her face, into a neat and energetic high ponytail, but also changed into a new outfit—a cheap street stall item, but it suited her exceptionally well.
A simple white T-shirt paired with skinny jeans and clean white shoes perfectly accentuated her already slender and well-proportioned figure, making her look fresh, beautiful, and outstanding.
"He Fei, you have a date today?" a roommate teased with a smile.
"No, no..." He Fei blushed slightly and quickly waved her hand to deny it, but she looked even more shy.
"Oh, so what? Dating in college is perfectly normal! We all envy you; you're the first potential 'single' in our dorm!"
Listening to her roommates' teasing, He Fei blushed even more, feeling both sweet and shy. Unable to stay any longer, she hurriedly fled the dormitory like a frightened little rabbit.
Even after she left, the heated discussions in the dormitory didn't stop:
"Have you guys noticed? He Fei looks absolutely stunning with just a little bit of makeup! Her face and figure are definitely top-tier, like a school beauty!"
"Yeah, I always thought she was a bit unsophisticated and quiet, but now that I see her... she's a real gem!"
"I wonder who her boyfriend is? She's so lucky!"
"When she gets back, she absolutely has to treat us!..."
It's only a few hundred meters from the girls' dormitory to the first canteen.
He Fei attracted a lot of attention today. Many boys who passed by were immediately struck by her beauty and thought to themselves: When did our school get such a pretty girl? How come we never noticed her before?
When Chen Zhiyuan saw He Fei at the entrance of the first canteen, his eyes lit up and a sense of amazement flashed through his mind.
He had only suggested that she stop hiding herself behind baggy old clothes and hair, but he never expected that with a little tidying up, she could radiate such beauty.
She looks slender, but her figure is curvaceous, and she has all the right curves... she's got real assets.
Feeling Chen Zhiyuan's focused gaze, He Fei became a little nervous. She subconsciously looked down at herself and whispered, "Does it... not look good? Or... should I go back and change?"
"No, no need." Chen Zhiyuan snapped out of his reverie, a bright smile spreading across his face. "It looks great, exceptionally beautiful."
As he spoke, he naturally took He Fei's hand and walked towards the cafeteria.
He Fei's hand stiffened slightly, then relaxed, though her cheeks flushed even more—there were so many people here, she felt quite embarrassed. She gave a token, gentle struggle, then let him hold her hand.
Chen Zhiyuan secretly admired He Fei: He Fei looks absolutely stunning in these tight jeans... Her leg shape and proportions are too perfect.
In a good mood, and with his large appetite due to long-term training, Chen Zhiyuan ordered an exceptionally lavish breakfast, all of which he paid for with his card.
Looking at the table full of food, He Fei was a little worried: "Did we order too much? We can't finish it."
"Don't worry, you can finish it. You especially need to eat more," Chen Zhiyuan looked at her gently, "If you gain a little weight and your complexion improves, you'll be even more perfect."
After starting university and eating with Chen Zhiyuan, He Fei's nutrition improved significantly. Her complexion was no longer pale, and her hair gradually became shinier. But in his opinion, it could have been even better.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." He Fei nodded obediently, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat in small, elegant, and earnest bites.
She did as she was told and ate more than usual, but most of the food ended up in Chen Zhiyuan's stomach—not a single bite was wasted.
After finishing breakfast, Chen Zhiyuan stood up: "Come on, come with me to look at houses."
Even now, He Fei still finds it hard to believe.
Chen Zhiyuan...do you really want to buy a house?
This is the provincial capital, and it's right next to Jiangnan University. The prices must be exorbitant. Where did he get so much money?
Seeing her confusion, Chen Zhiyuan explained, "I think housing prices will definitely rise sharply in the future. Take advantage of the fact that they are still relatively cheap now and buy one. That's called investment."
Hearing the certainty in his tone, He Fei didn't ask any more questions, but was genuinely happy for him.
The two went to the parking lot together and drove to their destination – Mirror Lake Impression.
This is the closest high-end residential community to Jiangnan University, situated beside the scenic Mirror Lake, making it a true lake-view property.
What's even more remarkable is that it adopted a pedestrian-vehicle separation design that was quite advanced in 1999, and has a large underground parking garage, making the community environment quiet and safe.
If you walk, it will take 10 to 20 minutes after leaving the school gate. Driving is much more convenient, and you can reach the impressive sales office in just a few minutes.
After parking the car, I walked into the spacious and bright sales hall.
The first thing that catches the eye is a huge sand table model, showcasing the exquisite layout of the entire community.
Several saleswomen in business suits stood or sat, their demeanor impeccable.
Chen Zhiyuan had a sharp eye and immediately spotted the sales consultant who had handed him the flyer last week.
The other party immediately recognized the outstanding young couple, and a warm and professional smile instantly appeared on their face as they quickly came forward: "Sir, Madam, we meet again! It's a pleasure to serve you."
Chen Zhiyuan nodded slightly and got straight to the point: "I'm interested in buying a house. Could you please give me some information?"
"Okay, it's my pleasure!" The saleswoman perked up and began to explain in detail: from the overall planning concept and high-end positioning of the community to the features and advantages of several main unit types, she spoke eloquently.
After listening to the introduction, Chen Zhiyuan asked, "Are there any 388-square-meter units available now?"
"Yes!" The saleswoman's eyes lit up, and a hint of surprise welled up in her heart.
