Lu Yao was usually a very thoughtful person, but she didn't know if alcohol had numbed her brain or if something happened suddenly. She was completely blank. I had to follow Xu Yingjia's instructions mechanically.
Ji Guanxin heard the door open and looked up. Lu Yao had already changed into her previous clothes and came out of the bathroom.
Is she leaving
Ji Guanxin was lying beside the bed. See this. He immediately turned over and sat up, looked at her and said, "What's wrong with your friend?"
Lu Yao's face turned a little pale. Her pink lips opened, and she replied aloud: "She came to me for something urgent. I have to go back with her."
What she said was in vain and she didn't answer Ji Guanxin's question at all. But now Ji Guanxin only cares about the last sentence. He frowned and said, "Why are you going back so late? Is there anything you can't do until tomorrow morning?"
Lu Yao said, "I'll go back first."
Ji Guanxin said: "It's chaos outside now. You can't stay outside for too long."
Lu Yao's mind was filled with Jian Chengli. She heard Ji Guanxin's voice but couldn't react. Just a casual 'hmm'.
Ji Guanxin felt unhappy. He coaxed her into it with great difficulty. Her friend took her away with just one phone call. It was easy to get out but difficult to get back in. He really couldn't watch her leave.
Stand up. Ji Guanxin looked at Lu Yao and said, "What's wrong with your friend? Can I help her?"
Lu Yao didn't know how to look at Ji Guanxin. Feeling inexplicably guilty, she shook her head and replied, "No need to trouble you."
Ji Guanxin said: "No matter what the problem is, your friends are my friends."
Lu Yao quickly replied: "It's not something you can help with."
Ji Guanxin wanted to ask something more, but the phone in Lu Yao's hand rang. It was Xu Yingjia calling. Lu Yao immediately connected, and Xu Yingjia said: "Yao Yao, I'm here, are you down?"
Lu Yao said: "Wait for me, I'll be down soon."
After saying that, she hung up the phone, reached out and handed the phone to Ji Guanxin: "Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you at night, I'll leave first."
Seeing her eagerness to leave, coupled with her polite words, Ji Guanxin stepped forward and said aloud, "Why are you two girls going so late?"
Lu Yao said: "There is something urgent at home, so I won't tell you anymore and will leave first."
She turned around and walked out without any regret at all. Ji Guanxin was anxious. He stepped out and said, "I'll see you off later."
Lu Yao said: "No, my friend is waiting for me below."
Ji Guanxin said: "It's not safe for you two to go home, so I'll take you back."
Lu Yao had already walked down the stairs, and she said without looking back: "No need, I'll call you when I get back."
Her prevaricating words made Ji Guanxin feel warm in his heart. She also knew to tell him that she was safe.
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the entrance. Ji Guanxin had no clothes on his upper body and boxer briefs on his lower body. He couldn't follow him out like this, and it was obvious that Lu Yao wouldn't wait for him.
He could only look at her and said, "Be careful and call me when you get home."
"Oh, I see."
Ji Guanxin asked again: "When will you come back?"
Lu Yao said casually: "I'll be back when I'm done."
Just come back. The anxiety in Ji Guanxin's eyes gradually faded away, followed by softness and warmth.
When she pushed open the security door of his house, Ji Guanxin said, "You have always been with your friend, right? I can find you by calling her?"
"Well, if you need anything, just call her."
Lu Yao was really anxious. No matter what Ji Guanxin said, she agreed.
Ji Guanxin originally wanted to give her a few instructions, but after Lu Yao stepped out, she closed the door with a wave of her hand. The words he didn't finish were stuck on his lips. He stood at the door for five seconds and exhaled. He really wanted to give himself a self-deprecating expression.
He turned around and walked back, and in a blink of an eye, he was the only one left at home. In the past, Ji Guanxin didn't think much of it. He quite enjoyed the loneliness. But Lu Yao only came here for a few hours and didn't even spend a whole night. But now that she was gone, he felt that The face was empty.
Hey, as I get older, I will feel emotional and sad.
Ji Guanxin went upstairs. Instead of going back to the master bedroom immediately, he went to the guest bedroom and took a look around. Seeing the rolled up quilt and the obviously slept-on pillow, he felt a little sad. Not daring to look at it for too long, he turned off the light and returned to the master bedroom.
After Lu Yao got out of the elevator, she ran all the way to the gate of the community.
Xu Yingjia got out of the passenger car and saw Lu Yao. She hurriedly took two steps forward to greet her.
Lu Yao was panting heavily as she ran. Xu Yingjia grabbed her wrist and got into the taxi, then asked the driver to return the same way.
In the car, Xu Yingjia whispered: "Ji Guanxin didn't say anything, did he?"
Lu Yao shook her head, still breathing.
The driver peeked in the rearview mirror, suspicious of Lu Yao's identity. She ran out of a wealthy neighborhood in the middle of the night. She was so beautiful and so young. Could it be that she was a mistress or a mistress
Xu Yingjia added: "What are you going to do with Ji Guanxin? Now that Jian Chengli is out, it will be over if he finds out."
All these things happened so fast that people around her said she was smart, but she was really confused at the moment and had no idea what to do.
Lowering her eyes, she stared at the passenger seat in a daze. Xu Yingjia muttered to herself beside her: "Jian Chengli must not know about this, otherwise with his temper, he will really go to Ji Guanxin to fight for his life. The two of them start fighting again, and Ji Guanxin makes him suffer again, but it’s not you who suffers in the end?”
There was a sentence in this that touched Lu Yao's heart. What happened between her and Ji Guanxin should not be known to Jian Chengli. She slept with Ji Guanxin on the front foot, and Ji Guanxin immediately released Jian Chengli on the back foot. Who cares about this matter, she exchanged it with her body.
If Jian Chengli's temper was known...
"Yao Yao, when Jian Chengli comes, you will insist on staying with me tonight. I will bear witness for you."
Lu Yao remained silent, and she didn't dare to think about how to face Jian Chengli.
The taxi drove all the way back and immediately turned another intersection to Xu Yingjia's community. Xu Yingjia's cell phone suddenly rang.
She looked down, stared subconsciously, and said, "It's over, it's Jian Chengli who's calling."
Lu Yao instinctively looked sideways, and Xu Yingjia said, "Is he here?"
Lu Yao's mind went blank, she pursed her lips tightly, and her heart was almost in her throat.
The phone kept ringing, and after about five seconds, Xu Yingjia answered the call.
She said: "Hey, Brother Cheng Li."
Jian Chengli said: "I'll go downstairs to your house. You ask Yaoyao to come down."
Xu Yingjia rolled her eyes, but replied in a calm voice: "We just went downstairs to buy things, and we are on our way back. Just wait a moment, we will be there soon."
While they were talking, the taxi had already turned around the intersection. Less than ten meters away, Xu Yingjia and Lu Yao both saw Jian Chengli's car parked on the side of the road.
"Brother Cheng Li, we saw you, hang up first."
Xu Yingjia hurriedly hung up the phone, then pushed Lu Yao, who was stiff, and whispered: "Don't be so nervous. What are you afraid of? Jian Chengli won't know if you don't tell her."
The taxi stopped at the entrance of the community. Xu Yingjia gave the money and then opened the door first and got out.
Lu Yao followed her out of the car, and when she looked up, Jian Chengli had already gotten out of the car. He was wearing a solid-color linen shirt and black trousers. The shirt was tucked into his belt. His legs looked straight and slender.
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but after not seeing him for half a month, she felt like he had lost a lot of weight.
Lu Yao stood motionless, and Xu Yingjia couldn't help but reach out to hold her arm and lead her towards Jian Chengli.
She first said hello with a smile: "Brother Cheng Li."
Jian Chengli said "Hmm" and then looked at Lu Yao.
The two looked at each other, and the look in Jian Chengli's eyes was filled with deep longing and a hint of suppressed restlessness.
But Lu Yao's throat was tight and she couldn't make any sound.
Xu Yingjia said: "You guys talk for a while, I have to go across the street to buy some midnight snacks, I'm so hungry."
She made a random excuse and left in a hurry. Lu Yao and Jian Chengli were the only two people left at the intersection.
It was already one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, and except for the occasional passing vehicle, there were almost no pedestrians on the road.
The two of them stared at each other without speaking. This state lasted for more than ten seconds. Finally, Lu Yao spoke first. She suppressed the sourness and choking, and whispered: "Why are you here?"
In fact, what she wanted to ask was, how did you get here during this time? Did you suffer a lot? Is there anyone bullying you inside? Ever miss home? Do you... miss her again
Jian Chengli stared at Lu Yao, his eyes unblinking, his thin lips parted, and he said aloud: "I heard Aunt Hui say that you and Beibei had a fight, and she asked you to move out. I'll take you home. "
He said it lightly, but Lu Yao knew that he must have scolded Jian Beibei miserably.
Her eyes were moist. She already had bad eyesight, and now she couldn't see Jian Chengli's face even more clearly.
Her lips parted, and she was about to speak, but tears fell, and she choked so hard that her body trembled, and she couldn't make a sound.
The second he lowered his gaze, he felt a gust of wind blowing in front of his eyes. The next second, Jian Chengli had already put her in his arms.
He hugged her tightly, and although he didn't say anything, it was enough to make Lu Yao cry suppressedly on his shoulder.
She missed him so much and worried about him so much. Ever since his accident, she had never had a moment of peace of mind. He was suffering inside, while she was suffering outside.
Jian Chengli hugged Lu Yao, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm coming out."
Lu Yao closed her eyes, but tears rushed out. The smell of him should be familiar to her, but now, for some reason, it felt unexpectedly unfamiliar to her.
During the half month he went in, the sky outside had already changed. He came out, but she was trapped.
She didn't know how to tell Jian Chengli that she was no longer the same person as before.
