Mom couldn't know that she was kicked out.
Lin Qing walked aimlessly on the road.
The suitcase was dragged behind him.
But where to go
She felt in her pocket and found that she had forgotten to take her cell phone.
Mom must have made up her mind that she would go back.
Lin Qing perked up and looked up at the sky.
It is late.
The sun gradually sets.
She suddenly remembered that when they were in Bali, Mu Li said he would take her to see the most beautiful sunset.
Now she is the only one left.
"Lin Qing?" Someone called her from behind.
Lin Qing turned around.
Chen Qudong stood not far behind her.
"Senior, why are you here?"
In fact, the answer is not difficult to imagine.
Chen Qudong stopped four or five meters away from her.
"I was worried about you, so I waited here for a while."
Lin Qing looked around and found that this was where they got off the bus.
"Is there anything wrong?" Lin Qing asked.
Looking at the suitcase behind her, Chen Qudong seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Where are you going? I'll take you there."
Lin Qing smiled faintly: "No need, I can walk by myself."
Her politeness alienated Chen Qudong further.
Chen Qudong had no choice but to tell Lin Qing about her current situation: "It's very dangerous for you to drag your luggage around alone."
Lin Qing lowered his head and thought about it.
He is right.
Since I can't go home, at least I have to ensure my own safety.
At this moment, she suddenly thought of someone, so she said to Chen Qudong, "Then I'll ask you to take me to a place."
The apartment Lu Xiao rented is at No. 18, 1st Street, Zone B.
By the time Chen Qudong sent Lin Qing to the door, just an hour had passed.
Since he didn't bring his cell phone, Lin Qing had to try his luck.
"Lu Xiao?" She rang the doorbell.
There seemed to be a subtle sound in the room.
Lin Qing couldn't hear clearly.
"Lu Xiao, are you there?" Lin Qing called again.
The person inside seemed to not want to talk to him, but he still came to answer the door reluctantly.
It was Lu Xiao who opened the door, and she opened it a crack.
"Lin Qing?" Lu Xiao was immediately surprised, his eyes evasive, "Why are you here?"
Lin Qing smiled embarrassedly: "I can't go home for the time being. Can I stay with you for a few days?"
Lu Xiao hesitated and did not answer.
At this time, Lin Qing heard a man's voice coming from inside the house: "Ah Xiao, who is it?"
Lu Xiaochong said a few words inside, then turned back and smiled awkwardly at Lin Qing: "It's not convenient for me now..."
Lin Qing suddenly realized.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't know!" She waved her hands hurriedly, which made Lu Xiao even more embarrassed.
"It's okay, but if you have no place to stay, why don't you stay here with me for a few days..." Lu Xiao said when he accidentally glanced at the luggage behind Lin Qing.
But he was interrupted immediately by Lin Qing.
"No need! I'll just find a hotel to stay in!" Lin Qing waved at her, "Well, I'm leaving first!"
“Hey…” Lu Xiao wanted to call out to Lin Qing, but the other party had already walked away.
Lu Xiao scratched his hair in frustration.
Why did you come here at this time
The man in the room shouted and Lu Xiao closed the door.
Just at the moment of closing the door, she saw Lin Qing's figure stopped not far away, and seemed to be talking to a man.
Did she see it wrong
That man was obviously Chen Qudong who had put Lin Qing in danger before.
Chen Qudong was waiting outside the apartment.
Not long after, Lin Qing came out again.
"how?"
Lin Qing shook his head: "I think I shouldn't have come here."
Chen Qudong didn't say anything more, just asked: "So what are you going to do now?"
After much thought, Lin Qing decided to go to the hotel.
Chen Qu stopped this idea: "Let's go to my home."
"Huh?" Lin Qing took a step back reflexively.
Chen Qudong laughed: "I have a house that no one lives in now, you can just go there."
"Oh, I see." Lin Qing weighed the options and followed him.
The next day, Lin Qing got up very early.
She dressed up specially to go to work.
Lu Xiao went a little late today and was almost late.
"Good morning!" Seeing Lu Xiao appear, Lin Qing took the initiative to say hello.
Lu Xiao felt a little embarrassed when he thought of yesterday's scene.
Lin Qing seemed to have forgotten the incident and was holding a pile of documents in his arms.
Lu Xiao pointed, looking surprised: "Is this all your work?"
Lin Qing cheered up: "I can't help it. Who made me take such a long leave before?"
Most of these tasks were assigned by Xu Yuan.
Lu Xiao felt a little unfair, so she helped Lin Qing take half of the food and walked back to her seat with her: "How inhumane. They knew you were asking for leave."
As he was speaking, someone called Lin Qing from behind: "Lin Qing, there is a document that you haven't submitted for the project before you took leave. You have to hand it in before 10 am tomorrow. Do you understand?"
Lin Qing reluctantly turned around while holding the documents and replied, "I understand."
Lu Xiao rolled his eyes while the man was walking away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the position, Lin Qing's expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xiao thought she was not feeling well.
Although the news of Mu Li's hospitalization was blocked by all media, she still heard some things.
Lin Qing bit her lip and said in confusion: "I forgot the information the team leader mentioned at home."
"Then just go back and get it." Lu Xiao was speechless.
Lin Qing hesitated: "I am now..."
She didn't say the rest.
Thinking of Lin Qing dragging the luggage yesterday, Lu Xiao suddenly understood something.
Lin Qing called Mu Li.
"Huh?" Mu Li probably hasn't gotten up yet.
"I'm Lin Qing." Lin Qing was not used to introducing himself like this.
Mu Li's attitude was cold: "What's the matter?"
"I forgot my things at home. I might go get them today." Lin Qing said cautiously.
Her tone today is completely different from yesterday.
There was a little more tentativeness, but not that stubbornness anymore.
Mu Li frowned.
This woman changes very quickly.
"I'm not at home today. Let's talk another day." Mu Li felt impatient and was about to hang up the phone.
Lin Qing hurriedly stopped him: "But, I'm going to use that thing tomorrow."
Mu Li was no longer sleepy and sat up in bed.
The curtains were half-drawn, and only then did he realize how late it was.
"Will you use it tomorrow?" There seems to be room for maneuver.
Lin Qing nodded repeatedly: "So can you wait for me, I'll be there soon?"
"No." Mu Li turned off his phone, got out of bed and put on his clothes.
Hearing the busy tone in the microphone, Lin Qing was stunned for a second, then called several times but found it was no use.
His mood was disturbed early in the morning. Mu Li was annoyed and just buttoned up a few buttons before going to the bathroom.
Xu Yuan has already gone to work.
Although she really wanted to stay, Mu Li said that she always put work first and didn't want to become an obstacle.
However, Xu Yuan was in no mood to work.
There was no one at home at this time and no sound could be heard. Mu Li suddenly felt empty.
The feeling of nothingness overwhelmed him, leaving him with nowhere to escape.
He's been like this occasionally since he woke up that day in the hospital.
And most of the time it’s the same reason—Lin Qing.
Mu Li turned on the faucet and the cool water seeped into his skin.
When he looked up again, he had calmed down in the mirror.
"Damn it, what's going on!"
In anger, Mu Li slammed the marble sink hard.
Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of something on the stage.
It is the comb that Lin Qing usually uses.
A few strands of Lin Qing's hair were tangled on the teeth of the comb.
Mu Li's heart sank.
he…
Have you ever handed this thing to Lin Qing
The blurry image became more intense.
Lin Qing felt depressed and hung up the phone.
"No?" Lu Xiao guessed something.
Lin Qing hung his head.
Seeing Lin Qing's expression, Lu Xiao suddenly felt sympathy.
"Then I'll get it for you!"
Lin Qing smiled and shook his head: "No, I'll go by myself."
Since Mu Li said he had something to do today, according to Lin Qing's past experience, it would be safest to go back in the afternoon.
Before leaving, Lin Qing gave Lu Xiao her temporary cell phone number.
Lu Xiao was curious and asked.
"This..." Lin Qing shook his phone, "It belongs to a friend. I'm borrowing it."
Lu Xiao suddenly thought of Chen Qudong.
"Could it be your senior?" She blurted out as she thought about it.
Lin Qing was slightly startled: "How do you know?"
"It is indeed the case." Lu Xiao stared at Lin Qing thoughtfully, "You are not?"
"What?"
"Is it really related to that senior?"
Although Lu Xiao didn't believe it.
Lin Qing told Lu Xiao the whole story.
But Xu Yuan's name was not mentioned.
After Lin Qing left, Lu Xiao, bored as he was, reconstructed the whole cause and effect of the incident.
Suddenly I thought of something.
Perhaps, these things are all related to Manager Xu
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Lin Qing stood at the door of his house.
In fact, she was not sure whether the password at home had been changed.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Qing gestured to himself to cheer him up.
enter password.
The indicator light is green.
Lin Qing couldn't believe his eyes.
Not much has changed at home.
It's just a little quiet.
It looks like there is indeed no one there.
Most of her things were put away.
Only a few fish that have escaped the net are still hiding in the corners.
Lin Qing walked into the living room cautiously and looked out through the bay window as usual.
The scenery remains the same.
Things are different and people have changed.
She felt a little bitter in her heart and smiled bitterly.
After thinking for a while, Lin Qing remembered where the information was placed.
It is Mu Li’s study.
Lin Qing had no choice but to tiptoe upstairs.
Although she didn't know why she had to be so timid in an empty house.
On the second layer of the cabinet on the left, Lin Qing found the information.
Maybe she worked very late that day and fell asleep on the table, so Mu Li helped her put it away.
When turning the pages, there seems to be the taste of Mu Li.
Lin Qing drove all these thoughts out of his head.
Now is not the time to reminisce.
After putting away the documents, when she was about to turn around, her attention was drawn to another place.
They were two novels she had read before.
In the middle was a piece of paper slightly larger than the book cover.
Lin Qing was curious and pulled it out.
Slightly stunned.
It's her photo.
And it was taken secretly when he was sleeping.
In the photo, Lin Qing was lying on the desk with a conflicted expression on his face.
It also looks a bit cute.
However, Mu Li never mentioned this photo.
Lin Qing felt warm in his heart.
After a while, she decided to put the photo back for the time being.
Maybe one day Mu Li will see it and remember some of it.
Because the books are so full, it is not easy to put them back.
Lin Qing placed the information on the table beside him and carefully stuffed the photo back.
Halfway through, a voice sounded not far away.
"What are you doing here?"
The voice was low and somewhat annoyed.
Lin Qing looked up in surprise and immediately stopped what he was doing.
Mu Li was standing at the door.
