Number one dumbest comment in all this thread, so congrats I guess.
Rude.
It's also worth noting that Mu is guaranteeing her apartment (iirc), so there is a somewhat problematic power dynamic there, in so much as Mu could mess with her housing, but given the other factors involved, that doesn't seem terribly likely.
She isn't guaranteeing her apartment, she told the landlady that she would just manage it, so like clean and maintain, do make ready after she leaves, that kind of thing. She wouldn't have any actual power over the rental, just making sure that everything is being taken care of properly.
I may be misremembering it, but I thought part of the issue was renting the property for such a short time (or without a guarantee of a longer stay) wouldn't be worth it. If it was just a matter of putting in the physical labor to get the place ready and clean it up after she moves out, then it's a non-factor.
You wouldn't happen to remember which chapter the conversation took place in?
Edit: The discussion took place in chapter 10. You were correct that it wasn't a financial issue, just not having the energy to manage a one-month rental.
That's why, for Xingyuan's sake, finding a community she can trust is more important than entering into a relationship. If Xiaoen can help her with that, I don't think the age difference will be a factor anymore.
It's noteworthy that putting together such a community seems to be part of Xiaoen's plan for the town. If that is the case, then it might be interesting to see Xingyuan's take on what she's accomplished and the people she's attracted.
