Since the police needed to do some investigation and get the evidence, Stella and Channing were told to leave. Once the police had anything further, they would be informed again.

Out of the police station, it was quite dark outside.

Stella said, “Chan, do you still plan to stay on campus during the vacation?”

Channing didn’t answer immediately. After a thought, he said, “From tomorrow on, I’ll go to your studio.”

“Pardon?” Stella was taken aback. Then she understood that Channing was worried about her because of the things happened recently. “No, thanks, Chan. No one is making a scene again. I’m worried about you, though. How about I rent an apartment for you off-campus during the school break?”

“Not necessary, Stella. I’ll rent it myself.”

Upon hearing it, Stella was amused. She asked, “Would there be any difference?”

Channing turned to look at her. “I can make money myself now.”

Stella smiled and didn’t insist on discussing who should pay for the rental with him. She asked, “Where would you like to stay then? Shall I go house hunting with you tomorrow morning?”

“No, thanks. I’ve found a suitable apartment already.”

Two hours later.

Daniel opened his door, looking at the two standing outside his apartment. He asked in confusion, “Yes? How may I help you?”

Stella rubbed her nose. “Sorry for interrupting you, Daniel. My brother is on school vacation now. He wants to rent an apartment. Would you mind having a roommate?”

“Well...”

Channing chimed in, “I’ll pay the rent.”

“It’s not that thing, boy. It has nothing to do with whether you’ll pay the rental or not.” Daniel thought for a long while and found an excuse. “I grew up abroad since I was born. Probably my personal habits and diet might be quite different from yours. I’m afraid you would feel quite uncomfortable when staying here. So...”

“It’s alright. I like canned food as well.”
