He wondered if Fu Si Heng would agree to sit outside later…
“Right.” Rong Huai suddenly remembered something important. “Are you still renting that warehouse of mine? Fu Zheng paid half a year’s rent last time, and it’s almost due at the end of the month. I blocked him, so I can’t reach him. If you can contact him, have him transfer directly to my Alipay.”
Rong Huai did not want to unblock him either.
Annoying.
“Ah?” Tao Zhi blinked upon hearing this, asking curiously, “What happened between you and Fu Zheng?”
Rong Huai shrugged. “Nothing. He’s brainless, I got annoyed, so I blocked him.”
When Tao Zhi’s first photos and video appeared in Rong Huai’s Moments, Fu Zheng had called and cursed him out. Rong Huai did not indulge him at all and hung up before blocking him in one go.
Now, he was calling his little brother brainless right in front of the older brother.
Utterly fearless.
“Business is business. Even though we’re close, I still need to collect the rent.” Rong Huai said, “At most, I’ll give you an 80% discount.”
80% off, 5000 * 0.8 was still 4000. Tao Zhi could not afford that.
He quickly shook his head. “Then I won’t rent it.”
“What’s this about rent?” Fu Si Heng’s voice followed.
“This room.” Rong Huai said as he opened the nearby door.
It had been a long time since they entered, yet it remained clean and tidy, without a speck of dust.
Rong Huai said, “The changing room is in use now, so change here? Once you’re dressed, come out and I’ll do your makeup. We’ll talk rent later.”
“Okay.” Tao Zhi nodded.
Rong Huai handed him the clothes and quickly left. Tao Zhi entered the room, and Fu Si Heng followed.
……Tao Zhi gave him a hesitant look.
Fu Si Heng was completely straightforward.
His gaze swept the room, quickly recognizing that these were all the clothes he had bought, and during their online chats, this had been the backdrop for Tao Zhi’s photos.
So this was the place.
Fu Si Heng kicked off his shoes and stepped onto the tatami mat. While looking around, he casually asked, “How much is the rent here per month?”
“5000.” Tao Zhi told him. “Fu Zheng paid half a year’s rent last time.”
He paused. “I’m not planning to renew. It’s too expensive. Even at 80% off, it’s 4000.”
It was almost half a month’s income for him.
Tao Zhi would not renew.
“Fine, then don’t rent it. Move all this stuff to my place.”
Tao Zhi was hesitating how to bring it up when Fu Si Heng said it himself.
“Really?” Tao Zhi’s eyes suddenly lit up, looking quite happy. He even forgot to be wary of Fu Si Heng.
He was truly super happy. By saying this, Fu Si Heng had saved him 4000 a month. Tao Zhi sincerely thanked him. “Then I’ll trouble you, Brother Fu. Thank you so much.”
Hearing this, Fu Si Heng could not help but smile.
These things were all bought by him in the first place. He naturally had the obligation to store them for Tao Zhi. Which dorm could fit so many clothes? It would only trouble others.
Yet Tao Zhi thanked him.
This honest kid was just too obedient.
One strange thing, though: if Tao Zhi found these things troublesome, why not sell them?
That was what Fu Si Heng had thought when he bought them initially.
Tao Zhi was being threatened by Fu Zheng and must have been short on money.
Selling these clothes and accessories after wearing and photographing them could ease his financial pressure a bit.
The prices here far exceeded 200,000 at least.
But Tao Zhi had not sold them. He kept them all and stored them here with Rong Huai.
That worked too.
Perfect, he could take them back and play with Tao Zhi slowly later.
Fu Si Heng thought idly.
Tao Zhi, immersed in joy, did not notice the man’s dangerous thoughts.
He happily said to Fu Si Heng, “I’ll go change first.”
The room had a dedicated changing area curtained off with fabric.
Fu Si Heng hummed in acknowledgment.
Tao Zhi went to change, while Fu Si Heng wandered the small room on his own.
He remembered most of the clothes hanging here.
Of course, not from the selection images when he picked them, but from the photos Tao Zhi had taken for him.
For example, the first one: the deep blue evening gown.
A mermaid skirt hem, slender straps on delicate shoulders, chain passing from the chest and dangling at the waist.
Tao Zhi’s waist was very slim.
Pale and slim, surrounded by sapphire and pearl ornaments, the ornate complex skirt made him look like a princess. The sapphire blue fabric wrapped his waist and hips, accentuating the curves.
That dress showed off his figure well.
Fu Si Heng remembered it vividly.
As he recalled the scenes he had seen, his fingers caressed the clothes.
Besides that, there were many, many more, in other styles.
Fu Si Heng looked at them one by one. By then, Tao Zhi had finished changing and came out.
Fu Si Heng caught it from the corner of his eye and naturally turned to look—
His gaze froze instantly, his breath catching for a moment.
Tao Zhi in women’s clothing—Fu Si Heng had seen it many times. But mostly everyday styles.
This style was a first.
A sexy little black dress, with a cold, hard design that still retained luxury. A golden chain wrapped around the waist, bare arms contrasting sharply with the black leather arm cuffs gleaming coldly against snow-white skin.
This was the cool and spicy style Tao Zhi had never tried before.
After seeing him, Fu Si Heng’s gaze swept over his entire body before settling on his chest.
He did not know what he had stuffed inside, but there was a slight curve at the chest.
……
When Tao Zhi had previously dressed as a little girl to seduce him, he had not even bothered to stuff his chest.
