He was so shocked that the key in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
Lin Wan Bai picked it up in a fluster, but her eyes could not leave him.
From beginning to end, Huo Chang Yuan's expression did not change.
Compared to the shock on her face, he was completely unperturbed. It was as if it was natural for him to appear here and open the door.
After Huo Chang Yuan pulled out the key, his long legs steadily walked in.
Lin Wan Bai stood blankly in place, his gaze cut off from the closed security door. The last thing he saw were a pair of deep and calm eyes.
The corridor quieted, so she turned to open the door and close it.
Then, Lin Wan Bai made a very foolish move.
He pinched his right cheek forcefully, and a pain hit him. He was sure that he wasn't daydreaming, and Huo Chang Yuan had really moved to live opposite of her house.
It turned out that the rich people in the neighborhood, whom the elder sister never understood …
It was actually him!
But the point is, why did he come here?
It was obvious that he lived in such a high-end residential area. It was like the difference between heaven and earth compared to such a shabby residential area! Or could it be that the rich people were all crazy?
Lin Wan Bai stood at the profound entrance for a long time, unable to recover from his shock.
So when there was a sudden knock on the door, she almost jumped out of her chair.
Lin Wan Bai swallowed his saliva, held his breath and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me."
A quiet male voice came from outside.
Lin Wan Bai looked through the peephole and confirmed that there was the tall Huo Chang Yuan standing outside. It was as if his deep and calm eyes could pierce through the door board.
She placed her hand on the door handle and slowly pushed it open. "…" What do you want? "
"I'll take the underpants." Huo Chang Yuan's hands were in his pockets as he enunciated each word clearly.
A "boom" resounded in Lin Wan Bai's head.
He still remembered this!
Now, he finally understood the meaning behind his text message: he had the time to personally pick it out!
Seeing him look at his own body, Lin Wan Bai became embarrassed. She realised that she had been standing at the entrance of the Profound Entrance in a daze the whole time, and immediately took off her bag, put on her slippers and ran inside, "... Wait a moment! "
Within a few seconds, she was back.
Lin Wan Bai handed over the burning men's boxers that he was holding in his hands, but this time, he could not say the word "thank you".
"What's the matter?" Huo Chang Yuan saw that her eyes were still looking at him, and raised his eyebrows.
Lin Wan Bai was filled with doubts, but his expression was still uncertain, "Huo Chang Yuan, you moved to the other side?"
"Didn't you just see it?" Huo Chang Yuan took out the key from his pocket and waved it in front of her eyes.
Lin Wan Bai had obviously seen it, but the key thing was …
"Why are you here?"
Huo Chang Yuan slightly frowned, and continued to ask her with confidence, "I can't live here?"
"I didn't mean that …" Lin Wan Bai shook his head awkwardly.
Huo Chang Yuan's gaze swept across her face lightly, and explained in a normal tone, "This place is relatively close to the company, so it's more convenient to go to and go to work."
"Oh …" Lin Wan Bai slowly nodded his head.
But would this reason be a little far-fetched?
Forget about the structure of the houses, even the water and coal facilities were very old. Even if the originally high-end residential buildings were too far away, with his strength, he could easily buy better ones. Not to mention that he had his own car, Jiang Fang would frequently come over to pick them up.
"Lin Wan Bai, how long are you planning to hold on to my underwear?"
Lin Wan Bai was startled, seeing that his deep eyes were following her down.
Another "boom" resounded in his head.
Only then did he realize that he had not let go of her hand even when he handed her the letter …
Lin Wan Bai quickly retracted his hand, awkwardly placed it behind him, and avoided urging him with his eyes: "Is there anything else? If there isn't, I'm going to close the door!"
The door closed and she fanned her hands like a fan.
He went back to his room and changed his clothes. He rummaged in the fridge and found half a bag of leftover frozen food to boil.
It was already nightfall outside, Lin Wan Bai was preparing to turn on the TV to watch two episodes before he took a shower and went to sleep.
"Knock —"
The knock came again.
Lin Wan Bai opened the door again, and sure enough, the person who was standing outside was still Huo Chang Yuan.
He had also changed into a set of house clothes, this kind of lifestyle that he would often see before. She bit her lips, "Huo Chang Yuan, what do you want now?"
"Can you cook me a bowl of noodles?" Huo Chang Yuan raised his hands up behind his back.
It was a supermarket shopping bag with a small bundle of noodles and eggs in it. There was a car key on the tip of his finger. He must have gone out to buy it.
"…" Lin Wan Bai frowned, as though he was considering his rejection.
"I had a meeting all day and haven't had anything to eat since noon. I only drank two cups of coffee and my stomach felt so empty." Huo Chang Yuan followed up his words with his right hand still on his stomach. Seeing her frown, he spoke again: "The neighbors should be helping each other right?"
Seemingly his last sentence had broken his defense, Lin Wan Bai finally nodded. "... "Fine!"
Taking the shopping bag from him, she completely opened the door, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
"Wait in the living room for a moment. Alright, I'll call you!"
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan replied indifferently.
He followed her inside, his lips curving up in the invisible line of sight of her back.
There were some scallions in the fridge that had been washed. She cut it into two pieces and started boiling the noodles. She put two eggs in the fridge and turned off the engine ten minutes later.
When Lin Wan Bai brought the noodles out, Huo Chang Yuan had already walked over by himself and pulled up the dining chair.
After picking two bites, he raised his head and asked her, "How did you cook? Why do I never cook well?"
"Ugh." Lin Wan Bai thought about the pot he saw on the floor in his kitchen and swallowed it, "Maybe he also needs Inherent Skill!"
"…" The corner of Huo Chang Yuan's mouth twitched.
Soon, he finished his bowl of noodles and raised his head again. "Is there anything else?"
"There should be only some soup left …"
"Bring them to me."
When Lin Wan Bai took the bowl, she suddenly felt that the conversation was similar to the first time she cooked for him …
After pouring out all the broth in the pot, she still couldn't help but say something when she put down the bowl, "It's better to eat less tonight, otherwise it will be bad for your stomach."
When Huo Chang Yuan put down the chopsticks again, the inside of the bowl was extremely clean, without a single drop of soup.
"Thank you." He smiled at her.
Lin Wan Bai's breath paused as he stuttered, "You're welcome …"
This was the first time he said those two words to her, especially with the curve of his lips. It was really too seductive.
After cleaning up the tableware, when he came out from the kitchen, he discovered that he was still sitting on the dining chair without moving. Lin Wan Bai immediately looked outside the window nervously.
"Huo Chang Yuan, it's getting late …"
