"I'll take you back."
Just when she was about to refuse again, Lu Xingze said again: "It's really hard to get a taxi here, I'm afraid you won't get a taxi after waiting here for hours."
Ji Qing finally said, "Then I will trouble you."
"We are friends, you don't have to be so polite, if you need me, just say, I will help if I can, and I will try my best to help if I can't."
Ji Qing didn't speak.
After getting in the car, Ji Qing found a comfortable position, closed her eyes and rested.
"Are you cold now? I have a blanket in my car, it's brand new, can I bring it to cover you?"
Ji Qing didn't open her eyes, but replied flatly: "No, thank you."
"Then I'll turn up the heat a bit so you won't catch a cold."
Not long after Lu Xingze finished speaking, she felt that the temperature in the car had risen a lot.
About an hour later, the car arrived at "Love Like the Sea".
As soon as the car stopped, Ji Qing opened her eyes, but when she saw the villa in front of her, doubts flashed in her eyes: "Why did you send me here?"
"Don't you live here?"
"I'm going back to the old house, and it's the old house I want to go back to."
"Then I'll drive back to the old house."
Ji Qing glanced at the time, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, so she said lightly: "Forget it! I'll get off here, you can go back, thank you for taking me back."
After Lu Xingze watched her enter, he still didn't leave.
His gaze was fixed on the closed door, his hands clenched the steering wheel, and then he thumped heavily on the steering wheel.
Why did he do so much, but she still didn't like him?
It's fine if you don't like him, why should you alienate him?
How could he be inferior to Gu Jishen!
About half an hour later, Lu Xingze drove away.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Ji Qing watched the car slowly leave, with a look of coldness in her eyes.
I can't go back to the old house tonight, so let's stay here for the night. I don't know if Gu Jishen will come back here?
As soon as Ji Qing's hand touched the phone, she thought that he was still in a meeting, so she gave up the idea of sending him a message.
About ten minutes later, Ji Qing went out to a nearby supermarket, bought some fresh vegetables and meat, and then returned home.
Once in the kitchen, I started to get busy.
Soon, she prepared a table of dishes for two people.
She sat at the table and stared at the dishes on the table in a daze. Will Gu Jishen be back tonight?
Or is he going back to the old house tonight?
Ji Qing glanced at the time, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
It's eight o'clock and he hasn't come back yet.
It was almost nine o'clock, and she took a look at the dishes on the table, and then heated them up one by one, and took them out.
After placing them, she propped her chin with her hands and looked at the dishes on the table without blinking.
It was ten o'clock, and Gu Jishen still hadn't come back. She glanced at her phone, and was about to make a call to him, but her fingertips stopped suddenly in front of the screen.
Forget it, he should come back later!
She looked down at her phone without blinking, it was already half past ten.
At this time, a call came in.
A gleam of light flickered across her eyes, she didn't even look at the screen, and pressed the answer button indiscriminately: "Gu Jishen...you..."
"Xiaoqing? I'm Lu Xingze." Silence spread between the two through the phone.
