Outside the window, night had fallen.
Lin Wan Bai took a bath, and sat on the sofa to wipe his hair, while staring at the interview manuscript, occasionally deleting or modifying it.
The knock on the door was very sudden, and she walked to the entrance of the hall with lonely doubts.
Crouching down and looking out of the cat's eye, Lin Wan Bai could not help but bite his lips, lowered his head and looked at his pajamas. Only after he had fastened the buttons on his mouth did he slowly open the door.
Outside, Huo Chang Yuan's large figure seemed to have blocked all the lights in the corridor.
His black suit was unshakable, but his tie was gone. Unlike hers, the collar was unbuttoned, revealing a bronzed skin beneath the Adam's apple.
Lin Wan Bai looked around, but he did not see the little bun. He was the only one there, it was really strange.
She swallowed, "…" "Why are you here?"
"I can't come?" Huo Chang Yuan asked.
And then, with a leap, he crossed the threshold.
couldn't help but take half a step back when he saw the male aura approaching him in such a domineering manner.
After retreating half a step, it seemed as if he was letting her off, Huo Chang Yuan stepped on the door mat and took off his shoes, this time he did not even bother changing his slippers, directly walking in barefooted, and directly heading to her room.
Lin Wan Bai was stunned for a moment, frowning, he immediately chased after him, "Come … What's the matter? "
Huo Chang Yuan's footsteps were quick, he had already entered her bedroom with both hands in his pockets, "This is your room, I don't think I visited it last time."
"…" Lin Wan Bai pursed his lips, "So you came all the way here in the middle of the night just to visit my room?"
"Why not?" Huo Chang Yuan bent his legs and sat on the side of the bed.
"Then, can you leave now that the tour is over?" Lin Wan Bai stood at the side.
"I'm afraid not." Huo Chang Yuan crossed his legs and lazily pulled on his lips.
"What are you trying to do …" Lin Wan Bai was a little shaken.
Huo Chang Yuan's finger tapped on his knee as he raised his eyebrows at her, "I came over to ask for something."
"..." "What?" Lin Wan Bai was confused.
Huo Chang Yuan squinted his eyes and continued speaking at a steady pace, "When you left my house this morning, what did you take?"
After Lin Wan Bai heard this, his expression immediately panicked.
She looked away, as if trying to appear calm. "I don't know what you're talking about …"
"My razor's gone. You didn't take it?" Huo Chang Yuan raised his eyebrows even higher.
"…" Lin Wan Bai's fingers could not help but clench tightly together.
Huo Chang Yuan put down his crossed legs, as if he was discussing with her, "If you don't admit, are you going to let me search for it myself?"
"…" Lin Wan Bai held his breath.
Her heart had something to do with ghosts. She glanced at the bedside table beside her.
Huo Chang Yuan caught sight of her minute movements, got up and directly took large strides towards his. Just as she was about to stop him in a panic, he had already opened the drawer.
Apart from a few odds and ends, the electric razor stood out.
Huo Chang Yuan took the razor in his hand, and looked at her playfully: "Lin Wan Bai, what else do you plan to say?"
"I …" Lin Wan Bai was extremely embarrassed.
"What? Why didn't you say anything?"
Huo Chang Yuan held his razor, looked down at her from above, and walked towards her.
Lin Wan Bai, who had been caught in the act, was speechless. He continuously retreated until his calves were tightly pressed against the side of the bed. His lower back could no longer bend downwards, and with a "plop" sound, he fell onto the mattress.
Huo Chang Yuan followed closely behind, kneeling down on one knee by her side, his entire body covering over, still asking forcefully, "Why did you take my razor, hm?"
"I …" Lin Wan Bai still could only stammer out one word.
His breath made her eyelashes tremble, and she was short of breath.
"Didn't you say you wanted to avoid me and not get involved with me? Then why did you take away my razor?" Huo Chang Yuan supported himself with both of his hands, and his resolute face was bent down, his thin lips seemed to be able to stick close to hers at any time, "You intentionally took it away, isn't this giving me a chance? Lin Wan Bai, don't tell me all women have different mouths?"
"Little White —"
Suddenly, there was movement from the profound entrance.
Sang Xiao Yu's footsteps seemed to be in a hurry, and she did not notice the man's leather shoes coming out from the profound entrance, as he directly rushed towards her room.
When he saw the ambiguous scene in the room, he immediately braked, "You guys continue, I'll go back to my room first!"
After he finished speaking, he ran back to the other side in a blink of an eye and closed the door.
Huo Chang Yuan retracted his gaze and slightly raised his brows. His expression seemed to say that her best friend had seen a lot of things.
Lin Wan Bai's face flushed red, she pushed him forcefully, but seeing that he was not moving, she took a deep breath, "Huo Chang Yuan, you might have misunderstood …"
She said this morning that the phone had been left in his room as a cover, but she had actually sneaked into his room and taken the razor.
Who would have thought that he would still be able to use it? It had been a very long time, his hands had been worn off in many places, but now that he had lost his memory, he couldn't remember who gave it to him, much less remember who gave it to him. The reason why Lin Wan Bai took it away from him stealthily was because he felt that there was no meaning for anything related to her to exist even if it was him …
"I stole the razor, I was in the wrong. I apologize!"
"Then why did you take it?" Huo Chang Yuan squinted his eyes.
"I …" Lin Wan Bai was at a loss for words.
"Can't say it?" Huo Chang Yuan frowned.
"No." Lin Wan Bai bit her lips and raised her eyes to look at him. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I took it because my ex-boyfriend also had an identical one …"
Upon hearing this, Huo Chang Yuan remembered that back in the countryside, when she ran out in the middle of the night to find her ex-boyfriend's necklace, he was obviously scared to death yet he still persisted. He was sure that if he tore open the collar of her clothes now, the necklace would definitely be around her neck.
He frowned, "Are you still thinking about him?"
"Mm …" Lin Wan Bai nodded and continued to speak, "I really can't forget about him …"
He originally wanted to say something perfunctory, but when he said it, he felt his heart tighten for some reason.
Huo Chang Yuan remembered that he had mentioned Lu Jing Xue last night, and asked her if she was jealous. She didn't admit it in the end, but now, knowing that she had taken the razor, it was because her ex-boyfriend looked the same.
"Hur hur, let's consider it my wishful thinking!" Huo Chang Yuan snorted, and spoke with a heavy tone.
With that, he stood up from her body in a flustered and exasperated manner. With a razor in hand, he turned around and left in a cold manner.
Lin Wan Bai bit her lips and sat up, pulling at her pyjamas that were moving up and down.
It was as if he had heard the commotion over here. After the anti-theft door closed, Sang Xiao Yu, still fully dressed as before, with her backpack still untaken, rushed to her room in a panic. "Little White, what do we do!"
