Jiang Muye skillfully installed the gaming equipment, took out a few bags of jelly chips and dried fish from somewhere, and hummed a song while taking a bottle of good wine from the wine cellar.
Everything was ready. He sat cross-legged on the ground, ready to try out the smoothness first, when the doorbell outside suddenly rang.
Jiang Muye's face immediately darkened. He did not open the door, but called Lei Ming back in a rage, "Don't press the button! I promise to be on time tomorrow morning, isn't that enough? You treat me like a beast every day, and you don't even allow me to play a game. Believe it or not, I'm quitting..."
"Ah? What do you want to press?" Lei Ming, who had been scolded for a long time on the other end of the phone, was confused.
Jiang Muye choked up, "Weren't you the one who rang my doorbell from outside?"
"I've walked a long way and am driving now!" Lei Ming looked innocent.
"Who could it be... Not many people know I live here..." Jiang Muye muttered suspiciously.
"Could it be that the address has been leaked? Be careful and don't open the door rashly. What if it's the media? Ning Xi is still with you!" Lei Ming immediately said alertly.
Jiang Muye snorted and said nonchalantly, "That's right! So what if I saw her?"
Lei Ming was helpless. "Muye, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but even if you have good intentions to help her, she still has to accept it! Ning Xi clearly doesn't want to get on board with you..."
Jiang Muye was immediately furious, "What pirate ship? Whose pirate ship are you talking about?"
The doorbell was still ringing, every five seconds, very regularly.
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go open the door! Who on earth is this late at night..." Jiang Muye hung up the phone and walked towards the living room impatiently.
Jiang Muye deliberately leaned over to see who was outside through the electronic surveillance. He was stunned when he saw it. It was as if he had seen a ghost.
"Damn it! Lu Tingxiao!!! Why is he here..."
At the gate, a man was seen wearing a grey home suit, a pair of slippers, and holding something in his hand. Although he was dressed very casually, Jiang Muye inexplicably felt a gust of cold wind from the glacier blowing into his neck, making him shiver.
Jiang Muye was as panicked as a rabbit seeing a wolf. He waited until the doorbell rang twice before he took a deep breath and opened the door.
The moment the door opened, his originally nonchalant attitude suddenly became respectful, "Uh, why are you here..."
"It's up to you," the man replied expressionlessly.
"Oh... Please come in! Please come in..." Jiang Muye hurriedly welcomed the person in.
Lu Tingxiao casually glanced at the game controller, snacks and wine on the floor, then sat down on the sofa.
Noticing Lu Tingxiao's gaze, Jiang Muye coughed and explained, "Ahem, this job is too tiring, and it's rare for me to relax."
Lu Tingxiao didn't care about this question and asked casually, "When did you arrive?"
"I just arrived not long ago." Jiang Muye searched for a long time and finally found a bag of tea, but there was no hot water, so he could only take a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator. "I haven't boiled water at home yet, is this okay?"
"Don't worry, I'll be gone in a moment." Lu Tingxiao pointed at the boxes he brought with him, "These are given to you by your mother."
"Just send someone to deliver these to me. Why bother you to come here in the middle of the night?" Jiang Muye complained to his mother a hundred times in his heart. Why did she have to ask him to deliver them for no reason? Didn't she know that he was most afraid of this person? Well, needless to say, his mother must have known that before asking him to come to check on him...
