Chapter 640 New Life

Hyrule acted as a tour guide for Joan and Holden, leading them around the campus of Midgard University.

It is still during the winter vacation, and the campus is quite deserted. Fortunately, there is a small cafeteria that is open normally, providing three meals a day for the students who stay in the school for further study during the winter vacation.

Hailar invites Joan and Holden to eat in the school cafeteria. The dishes are not bad, but the price is much more expensive than that of Leiden College. This is probably because the farming and animal husbandry in Midgard is not as developed as in the south, so the food price is more expensive.

The deadline for postgraduate application for this year's Graduate School of Law at Midgard University is March 1st, and there is still more than a month before the application date. In order to concentrate on preparing for the exam, Joan and Holden urgently need to find a comfortable, convenient and affordable school. Fair accommodation.

After lunch, Hailaer took Joan and Holden out of the school gate, trying to help them rent a furnished apartment in the neighborhood near the college as a temporary shelter for more than a month before applying for the exam. After being admitted to the graduate school in the future, you can continue to live in an apartment, or you can choose to rent a dormitory provided by the school.

The three of them inquired around the college area, and after a thorough comparison, Hailaer finally made up his mind and chose an apartment. The house is located in the block behind the university, which is relatively secluded and suitable for concentrating on studying.

This is a two-story wooden building. It looks a little old on the outside, but the internal facilities are passable. What makes Joan most satisfied is that it is very clean.

The landlord, Mrs. Hudson, is a widowed old woman. Both her daughters are married and her son is serving in the army. The family looks more lively, and secondly, I want to earn some pension.

Mrs. Hudson lived on the first floor by herself, and had two big dogs and three fat cats, all of whom were well behaved.

The apartment on the second floor has a layout of three bedrooms and one living room. The landlord provides the tenant with three meals a day and cleaning services. Board and lodging fees are included, and the monthly rent is 30 gold Dujia.

Of course, the rent is not cheap, but in order to study, there is no way to pay more for the rent. Besides, compared with other nearby apartments for rent, the rent of 30 gold duga is already very affordable.

The landlord's wife warned Joan and the others: It's best to make up your mind quickly, otherwise it will be too late to regret when the apartment is rented by others.

Hailaer used his unique skills to bargain with the landlady's wife. After careful negotiations down to the menu, the rental contract was finally finalized.

Holden and Joan shared the second floor, shared the rent equally, and shared a living room.

There is also an empty room where Joan can conduct alchemy and spell experiments. Holden also needs a studio, and this empty room happens to be a shared studio for the two of them.

If a friend visits at night, such as Hailar, the studio can be tidied up a little, and the folding bed can be used as a guest room.

Joan and Holden’s change of clothes are packed in storage bags, Joan’s luggage is a lot of books, Holden’s luggage is mainly musical instruments such as flute, violin, accordion, and tools for painting And paints, sorted out in no time.

Hailaer looked around the apartment in the attitude of a hostess, holding a small notebook in his left hand and a pencil tip in his right hand, writing down everything he thought was missing, and then ran downstairs in a hurry. Within an hour, I bought two large baskets of daily necessities, ranging from towels, slippers, pajamas to candles and soap.

Hailaer helped Joan tidy up the bedroom and living room. In her own words, she arranged the apartment into a "warm and comfortable nest" by herself.

"Sister Cai Fan, why don't you help me arrange it?" Holden asked with a resentful face.

"You are too nasty. A clean-cut female student like me dare not enter your bedroom—for fear that you will play hooligans."

Hailaer said it harshly, but in fact, he didn't favor one another too much. Holden also brought a share of the daily necessities purchased for Joan.

After tidying up the room, the night outside the window was getting darker. A crisp bell rang from the dining room downstairs. It was Mrs. Hudson who had prepared dinner and invited the tenants to come downstairs for dinner.

Almond waffles are served crunchy with the fireplace blazing, followed by tossed lettuce salad, cream of mushroom bisque and tonight's main course, chickpea braised pork shanks.

Mrs. Hudson's cooking skills are really good, and several home-cooked dishes are cooked deliciously. Hailar is especially satisfied with the waffles topped with maple syrup. She basically filled a plate of dim sum.

After eating this sumptuous dinner, the last doubts in Hailar's heart dissipated. He casually grabbed a fat cat that was dozing off by the fireplace, put it on his knees, and while stroking its fur skillfully, he said to Joan and Holden: "You both come from far away, I was a little worried that you would not be able to eat it." I am used to local home-cooked food, but the landlady is amazing, and one dinner conquered the stomachs of two foreigners."

Holden also wanted to cuddle a cat, but for some reason, the cats and dogs seemed to be a little afraid of him, and they all ran away before he approached.

Holden shrugged resentfully: "Mrs. Anderson's cooking skills are good. It would be even better if her cat is a little more friendly to me."

Joan smiled, thinking that the cats probably don't like the exotic style of the poet? Although this is a unique charm for human beings—especially young girls.

The three chatted around the dining table for half an hour, and after drinking coffee, they returned to the living room upstairs. Seeing that it was getting late, Hailaer hesitated to leave.

"Do you live in a school dormitory?" Joan asked her casually.

"I don't live in a dormitory. I live with relatives in the upper city."

"That's quite far away, it's so late, why don't you leave, just make do with it for the night here." Joan pointed to his bedroom, "You don't want to experience the 'nest' you arranged with your own hands?"

Hailar smiled, his cheeks flushed slightly under the reflection of the candlestick.

"The guest room hasn't been furnished yet. I've taken up your bedroom. Where do you sleep?"

"I read a book very late. When I'm sleepy, I just take a nap on the sofa in the living room. Two hours of sleep is enough." Joan said honestly.

"Forget it, the mage can do other things, but sleeping can't be done casually."

Hailaer got up, pushed open the door of Joan's bedroom, walked to the bed, and suddenly jumped onto the bed in a diving posture, rolled back and forth on the mattress, and buried his face deeply in the soft pillow, just like this silently The sound lasts for a few seconds.

Joan stood at the door, staring blankly at her, wondering what she was doing. Just when he was wondering, Hailar propped up his upper body from the bed, looked back and smiled: "Okay, I've already experienced it!"
