He opened the door with the key and opened it before he could insert it into the keyhole.
My God, it rained all night and my little apartment couldn't have been a burglary, right?
I pushed the door open and hurriedly turned on the light. Everything in the room was clearly visible under the light.
My house had always been a mess, and I didn't bother to clean it up. I made an excuse saying that it was because there were too many things in it, but now it seemed that mine really wasn't an excuse.
This room hasn't been so tidy since I moved in, because other than large items like the sofa and the table, everything else is still there. This gang of thieves would make more money if they set up a moving company.
Lu Chen and I stood in the doorway, looking at each other.
"You don't even like tea." I threw up my hands to Lu Chen.
"Now is not the time to drink tea," Lu Chen smiled helplessly, "Call the police first and see what's missing."
"I should have seen it here, but I didn't. I lost it all."
"Stop lying."
I sniffed and pretended to cry. "Be optimistic about life in distress. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lived to this day and would have died from sadness. "
Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took out his phone and called the police.
"Forget it, I'll just buy whatever I throw." The question now is, where are you going to sleep tonight? "
"I have the key to the clean room. I can go to her room to sleep." Then I remembered that I had already given it back to her the last time she came back.
"Where is it? I'll walk you over. "
I hastily waved my hand. "No need, I don't have her key anymore."
"So, where do you sleep?" Lu Chen raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Just find a hotel."
Thanks to the cashless society, you don't have to worry about losing money if your family gets robbed.
I sat in the car and watched from the window as one hotel after another passed by. Lu Chen had no intention of stopping.
"I'll just find a place to stay. I don't have too many requests."
"It's best if you don't have any requests." He concentrated on looking at the road ahead, as if he had a destination in mind. Maybe he was going to take me to the one he used to visit, maybe at a discount.
We stopped in a quiet neighborhood and I looked around. There was no sign of a hotel anywhere I could see. However, I seem to have been here before.
Lu Chen's fat security uncle and the huge parasol tree at the entrance of his residence.
"Why did you bring me to your house?" I asked in surprise.
"Just tell me where you want to go. My apartment's name is whatever you want it to be." "This far-fetched reason of his had a bit of a rogue tone to it." I don't think it's safe for you to live out here alone, and it's convenient for you to go to the company tomorrow. I have a guest room in my apartment, so it's no problem for a friend to stay there. "
The two words "friend" were just right, no one could strongly reject it. He had already asked the security guards to stop the car. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to stay here for the rest of the day.
Lu Chen's home was still the same, clean and tidy. The board was standing in the corner of the room, and I couldn't tell if the formula on the board had changed or not.
Lu Chen gave me a variety of toiletries. The guest room he mentioned was a small suite with a separate bathroom. It's good to have so little unnecessary contact.
"See you tomorrow. Good night." He closed the door early, as if he was afraid I might feel uncomfortable.
After washing up, I lay in bed. Lu Chen was much better off here than in the hotel. The bad thing was, they were so close. Head to head, just a wall away, if I wanted to.
A good night's sleep. The next day, I was awakened by Lu Chen knocking on the door.
"Time to get up and have breakfast."
I rubbed my eyes and replied in a daze. In front of the bathroom mirror, except for the toothbrush cup, it was empty. Suddenly, he remembered that he was staying at his house. After brushing his teeth, he brushed his hair and went out.
In the kitchen, Lu Chen was busying himself with his apron, feeling an indescribable sense of unfamiliarity.
"I'm not going to the company today?" I said vaguely, chewing on the bread.
"Why?" he asked, putting an egg on my plate.
"Because I won't tell you I haven't washed my face yet."
"Hmm?" He looked at me questioningly.
"I was barely a girl. Every day needs to use facial lotion various skin care products, and part of the cosmetics. I've decided to go online and buy some today. I should be able to get there by afternoon, so I might be able to stay here for a while longer. "
"I know all about the rest," he said mockingly. "What do you mean by barely being a girl?"
I glared at him and picked up my fork to poke at the fried egg on my plate.
Lu Chen ate and went to work. After washing the dishes, I began to search for treasures. Considering the amount of money in my bank account, I had to trade some of them for higher performance and price ratio.
I was about to pay when the door opened again. Lu Chen returned, carrying several large and small bags in his hands.
"I don't know what brand you're used to using, but I bought some too."
He held up the bag in his hands. I could clearly see the logo on it. It was all a variety of noblewoman skin care cosmetics. A single item would probably last me more than half a month.
"You don't need to buy so many! What a waste! " All I could see was a red wad of money in his hand.
"Then choose some. I'll take the rest to return." Lu Chen rubbed his nose as he spoke.
"You're really going to retreat?" I doubt it.
"No, just throw it in the trash can." he said in a headstrong, honest way. " "According to my income level, these things are no different from buying snacks in a convenience store."
The values of the rich are not the same as mine.
"Also, the police have asked for me. The Ministry of Public Security has already filed a case. It's not safe there. You can stay here from now on. "
"..."
I didn't know what to say, which didn't surprise him at all, so he continued, "Is the card I gave you still there? There should be enough money in there for all your daily necessities. The password for the door is the same as the password for the card. "
"Lu Chen, did you know?" Your manpower has collapsed. " I asked, looking at him.
"Who's setting it up?"
"You were cold and tyrannical before, but now you're completely different."
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment before he replied in a dazed tone, "My equipment has not collapsed. You just happened to trigger another me, a warm and humble me."
He had been like the male lead of the Qiong Yao drama recently, his words were extremely numb.
I shivered and shouted, "You're better off being normal!"
"This is the normal state I'm in under certain circumstances. It may go on for a long time. You have to get used to it."
It will go on for a long time, and one day I will die.
"Be good, I'm going to work."
I... You'd better go.
