Qi Yu wanted to ask him how he knew where she lived, but then she remembered how awful her outfit was. She uttered an "ah" and blushed. She threw the trash with one hand and took off her hairband with the other. Oh my god! How embarrassing! How could she appear like this in front of the man she loved
After she tidied herself, she wanted to ask again, but she saw that he had already got back into the car, fiddling with his phone, and never looked up again.

Qiqi was already a little tired. When she was washing up and getting ready for bed, Qiyu rushed in excitedly and slammed the door with a loud bang.
Qiqi was startled and looked up at her with her face still covered in foam. "What's wrong?"
"I... I just saw him!"
"who?"
"That's what I was talking about."
"Ah~ the one you like." Qiqi suddenly realized.
"Qiqi, do you know? We have never really known each other before. We haven't even greeted each other formally. At most, we nodded to each other twice. But, he just greeted me and called me 'Miss Qi'. Qiqi, he knows my name!"
Qi Yu's expression was high and her face was rosy. It was obvious that she was in deep trouble.
"Moreover, he actually knows where I live. Qiqi, tell me, is he also secretly paying attention to me?"
At this point, Qiyu didn't care about the foam on Qiqi's hands, and held her hand tightly. She looked at Qiqi expectantly, with a glittering look in her eyes, just like a girl in love.
Qiqi asked seriously: "Does he know where you live?"
"Yeah. I know."
"Does that mean that he is not only paying attention to you, but also understanding you? If he is someone you don't care about, he wouldn't understand you so deeply, right?"
"You think so too, right? So, it's really not my illusion!" Qi Yu was so excited about this conclusion that she let go of Qi Qi and lay on her back on the bed, spreading her body like a 'big' character. After a while, she sat up again, still excited, "Qi Qi, then tell me, should I confess to him?"
"Since he also likes you, why don't you wait for him to confess to you?" Qiqi has never been a proactive person. In terms of relationships, she actually has no experience to share with Qiyu.
"That's right." Qi Yu turned sideways, curled up into a ball, folded her hands and pressed them against her hot face, her heart jumping with joy, as if it was about to fly out of her chest. After a while, she said, "I'm just afraid that I can't control myself and can't wait to find him."
Qiqi laughed out loud, and instead of responding to her words, she bent down to wash her face.
At this time, the cell phone thrown outside rang again.
"Qiqi, your phone number."
Qiqi responded vaguely, "Help me see who it is."
"It's an unfamiliar number. Do you want me to answer it for you?"
As soon as Qi Yu finished speaking, Qi Qi came out with wet hands. Without saying anything, she just silently took the phone from Qi Yu's hand. Qi Yu laughed at her, "Who is it? Why are you so nervous?"
"... I didn't." Qiqi defended herself guiltily, and looked at the screen. It was indeed Tang Jue. Didn't they just talk on the phone more than an hour ago? How come...
Qiqi turned around, with her back facing Qiyu, and then she picked up the phone and put it to her ear.
"Hello."
"I'm downstairs." Tang Jue's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Qiqi was startled, "Ah?"
"Ah what?"
“… Why are you here?”
"I'll take you home." Tang Jue replied calmly, but in a matter-of-fact tone.
The word "home" made Qiqi stunned for a long time. He said it as if that place was also her home.
But in fact...
Since her father died at his hands 12 years ago... she no longer has a home...
For so many years, she had been wandering alone abroad, and her life was precarious. Even though she was living with Mo Xun now, she knew that she was just living under someone else's roof and had never had any sense of belonging.
Neither her uncle's house nor Mo Xun's place belonged to her...
Not to mention the Tang Sect.
"Come down. Otherwise, I can't wait any longer and might go upstairs to pick you up myself." Tang Jue's voice sounded even gentler at night, as soft as water, making it impossible for people to refuse it.
"Don't." Tang Jue's words startled Qiqi and she came back to her senses immediately. She couldn't imagine what would happen if Tang Jue showed up here. She could only say, "I'll go down. Give me five minutes."
"Well, no rush. I'll wait for you." As long as she comes down, he will have plenty of patience.
Qiqi hung up the phone without waiting for Tang Jue to say anything else. She was a little nervous about Tang Jue coming here to find her, and was afraid that he would really come upstairs.
"Are you okay, Qiqi?" She hung up the phone. Qi Yu saw that she looked nervous and asked worriedly.
"It's okay." Qiqi shook her head and said, "Sister, I won't sleep with you tonight."
"What's wrong?"
"... Mo Xun is already downstairs, I'll take his car back." Qiqi had no choice but to lie. Although, she was not very good at lying.
"Since he's here, just let him come up and sit for a while. My parents are just about to thank him!"
"Let's do it next time. It's so late today. Auntie just came back and she's tired after such a long time. It's not good to entertain guests anymore." Qiqi put the phone in her pocket. "Uncle and the others are resting. I won't say goodbye. You can tell them for me tomorrow."
"Okay, then you guys go back and be careful." Although Qi Yu felt regretful, she didn't doubt it too much and just sent Qi Qi out.

Qiqi walked out of the apartment building and saw the car parked in the community from a distance. It was such a nice car, it really attracted a lot of attention. Fortunately, it was late at night and there were not many people walking around in the community.
Tang Jue leaned against the sports car. He was a hundred times more eye-catching than the car.
Some people seem to be born with a magical power to absorb light. Even though they are just wearing the simplest black shirt, smoking lazily, and doing nothing, they are still attractive.
Qiqi stopped far away and looked at him intently. He was always perceptive and seemed to have noticed the gaze behind him and turned around.
The two people looked into each other's eyes. Qiqi couldn't help but think of the passion in the morning, and a thin layer of redness appeared on her face unconsciously.
Tang Jue saw her and put out his cigarette, "Why don't you come over?"
She suppressed the confusion in her heart, forced herself to walk over calmly, and got into the car at almost the fastest speed.
"Why are you running?" Tang Jue didn't get in the car. Instead, he leaned over, put his arms on the passenger seat, and looked at her from the outside.
Even though they were separated by the car door, Qiqi could still smell the fragrance on him. Moreover, when he bent down to talk to her, it was as if he was whispering in her ear, his breath was alluring and his voice was alluring.
