"I heard your courtyard was burned down by an arsonist, Constable Xiao Su?"
South City Sima Hu Yuxing said with a smile, "One of our South City Bureau's constables without even a place to live in South City? What would people think?"
He pondered for a moment before saying, "How about this? I have a spare courtyard over in Pingkang Square. It's not large, but it's clean. I'll give it to you, Constable Xiao Su."
"Thank you, Sima."
Su Mu hesitated slightly before speaking slowly, "But that won't be necessary. I have a friend who also lives in South City. I'll just stay with him for a while.
As for a courtyard, it's better to buy one's own. It gives you more peace of mind, wouldn't you agree, Sima?"
It wasn't that Su Mu couldn't play along with Hu Yuxing for a few days; he simply didn't have the patience for it.
Besides, he was heading to the Inner City soon anyway, so he didn't care if Hu Yuxing would hold a grudge for being rejected again.
