Lin Wan Bai held his breath, and faintly heard footsteps coming from inside.
The anti-theft door opened from the inside. Other than the light pouring out, there was also Huo Chang Yuan's resolute facial features. He wore a set of house clothes, and the bandages on his right calf seemed to have been removed.
Her short hair was messy, as if she had just woken up.
Lin Wan Bai pointed at him, "You …"
"Why?" Huo Chang Yuan asked indifferently.
Lin Wan Bai blinked his eyes, "... Didn't you move away? "
"Who said that?" Huo Chang Yuan asked indifferently.
"…" Lin Wan Bai swallowed his saliva, "It's been a long time since you last came back, so I thought …"
"A few days ago, the water pipe exploded. The floor and wall tiles were all soaked and unable to live. Only yesterday, the maintenance workers were able to fix it." Huo Chang Yuan interrupted her.
"Uh, it's like this …" Lin Wan Bai suddenly realised, as he looked down, he could not help but ask: "Is your calf alright?"
After Huo Chang Yuan heard this, he also looked at his right leg.
"After being injured for a hundred days, is it really okay for you to do this?"
"Why are you so concerned about me?" Huo Chang Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Lin Wan Bai was embarrassed, she did not dare meet his gaze, and stammered, "Is it normal for friends to care about each other …"
"The doctor said that it's fine." Huo Chang Yuan smiled slightly.
"Oh …"
"Is there anything else?"
"..." "Huh?" Lin Wan Bai looked at him a little blankly.
Huo Chang Yuan pressed an arm against the doorframe, his deep eyes were filled with drowsiness, "If there's nothing else, I want to sleep."
She nodded and shook her head.
Then, as he watched the anti-theft door close in front of him once more and the footsteps inside gradually grow further away, Lin Wan Bai blankly stood in place for a few seconds. Only then did he remember to move his feet and walk towards the other side, turning back three times with each step.
In the evening, after work, Lin Wan Bai went to the supermarket.
Since it was discount day, she got off the bus in the middle and wanted to buy some daily necessities and discount items.
Fortunately, there weren't many people around, so she pushed a shopping cart inside.
Huo Chang Yuan returned to his room opposite of her. Every night, the windows would be lit up with a warm yellow light, unlike before, where he would take the initiative or take the opportunity to get close to her.
Unknowingly, Lin Wan Bai found that the shopping cart had stopped at the fresh area, and in front of him was fresh cow bones.
Having his muscles and bones damaged for a hundred days, it would be greatly beneficial if he were to drink Niu Gu soup …
Realizing what she was thinking, she quickly put down the bone she had picked up. However, she quickly put it back into her food bag. It didn't matter if her friends helped her boil a soup …
After Lin Wan Bai finished weighing the bones, he pushed the cart towards the vegetables and prepared to put some in the fridge.
When she picked up a bundle of spinach, someone next to her reached out their hand at the same time.
This scene was a little familiar, Lin Wan Bai subconsciously tilted his head to take a look, and was startled.
She didn't expect such an astonishing coincidence. She quickly retracted her hand and wanted to quickly push the cart away, but the other party didn't seem to think that way. Instead, she smiled and asked first, "Have we met before?"
"Ugh …" Lin Wan Bai stopped.
She faltered deliberately, pretending to look puzzled.
"Right!" Lu Jing Xue looked at her and seemed to recall her very quickly. "Last time at the bookstore, we took the same magazine, didn't we?"
Seeing that, Lin Wan Bai could only nod his head.
She didn't expect to meet Huo Chang Yuan's fiancee in such a short amount of time, and was also very surprised that the other party would come to this kind of place, especially in the vegetables and fresh areas.
Lu Jing Xue's smile became brighter, "What a coincidence! "I didn't expect that the last time we saw the same magazine, we would pick up the same vegetables again. It seems that our tastes are quite similar in certain areas!"
Perhaps the speaker did not mean this, but the listener did.
Lin Wan Bai held the shopping cart tightly and was about to nod his head to indicate to leave.
"Are you alone?" Lu Jing Xue said in time.
"Mm …" Lin Wan Bai nodded.
"If you don't mind, why don't we go for a stroll together?"
Lin Wan Bai pursed his lips, using this as an excuse to shake his head, "I don't think so, right? "I've bought enough, I'm going to pay the bill."
"It just so happens that we should go together!" Hearing this, Lu Jing Xue said.
The other party had sealed off everything she could say, so Lin Wan Bai could only force himself to push the cart towards the cashier.
There were more people who paid the bill, and they stood at the back of the line.
Lu Jing Xue asked her, "Can I ask what your name is?"
"Lin Wan Bai..." She replied.
"Miss Lin." Lu Jing Xue laughed and introduced herself, "My surname is Lu, Lu Jing Xue, my English name is Sunny. You can call me whoever you want! However, all of my family calls me Jing Xue, and only my fiance's father likes to call me little girl Jing Xue! "
Lin Wan Bai listened silently, he did not expect that the Chinese name was so pleasant to hear.
Her last words, although she did not directly say anything, she had indirectly mentioned her fiance. She could not help but think back to the time when the Hopper had come to drink tea with her, and solemnly said that she was not worthy. She should be very amiable towards the perfect Lu Jing Xue …
After settling the bill, Lu Jing Xue naturally went up the escalator together with her.
Lin Wan Bai noticed that the other party was carrying two or three conspicuous dishes in her arms, and seemed to have noticed her line of sight. Lu Jing Xue explained with a smile, "I don't know how to cook. Perhaps I had a grudge with the pots and pans in the kitchen in my previous life, and each time, I would make a mistake.
"Miss Lin, seeing that you bought so many dishes, you must be really good at cooking, right?"
"Still okay …" Lin Wan Bai said.
You look like someone with excellent culinary skills. If there's a chance, I can ask you for advice!" Lu Jingxue maintained a gentle smile all along, and said with a very gentle tone, "Everyone says that we must keep a man's heart, and a man's stomach first! "Don't joke with me, I was thinking the same thing. So, I want to work hard to learn culinary arts so that I can be a good wife after marriage!
"Oh …" Lin Wan Bai nodded perfunctorily.
She felt a faint pain in her temple, especially when she lowered her head to look at the beef bone in the bag. Suddenly, she felt sarcastic.
I have just returned home and don't have any friends. As soon as I meet someone, I start to chat with them. Miss Lin, don't mind them! Lu Jing Xue said with an apologetic expression.
Lin Wan Bai shook his head.
When the elevator finally arrived, she heaved a sigh of relief. The corner of her mouth had turned stiff.
"Miss Lin, where is your home?" Lu Jing Xue smiled as she looked at her, "My chauffeur is waiting for me by the side of the road, how about I send you off along the way?"
"Thank you, there's no need …" Lin Wan Bai rejected him without even thinking.
"Ring, ring, ring ~ ~"
Suddenly, the fire alarm in the building sounded.
