Chapter 152 Gentle Uncle
Zhu Xiyue didn't fall asleep at all.
She curled herself up in the quilt, thinking of a lot of terrible consequences.
Thinking of this, she couldn't fall asleep.
Two big eyes opened in the dark room.
Ever since she met that man, Zhu Xiyue's heart has been filled with a strong sense of foreboding.
As a result, when Lu Yinghan woke up the next day, she had dark circles under her eyes, which she relieved by drinking water in the kitchen.
"You didn't stay up all night, did you?"
"Um….."
Lu Yinghan answered weakly and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Hey, take some rest."
After saying that, Lu Yinghan closed the door, and the moment she closed it.
She put on the hood of her sweatshirt and a mask, hiding her entire face under the hood, so her face couldn't be seen clearly.
Sure enough, as soon as she went downstairs, she felt a fiery gaze staring at her.
This feeling of discomfort made Lu Yinghan frown, and her heart was beating fast.
Her shaking hands betrayed her mood.
She was scared too.
But at least I have received training, so I can't be timid.
And in order to help Brother Hongyang, she is willing to try.
It's just that the part in my heart needs to be a little more ruthless.
The man took out his cell phone and hid in the dark to record Lu Yinghan's every move.
I took note of what her electric bike looked like, packed everything in order, and continued waiting there.
After all, he did see a little boy that day.
Sure enough, at 7:20, the little boy came downstairs, skipping and jumping with a small schoolbag on his back, and waited for his mother downstairs.
He stood downstairs obediently, looking at the bright sun, thinking in his heart that he must win more in today's skipping rope competition than the one sitting in front of him.
Little did he know that he was also being filmed by the man with his mobile phone.
"Two One, let's go! We're going to be late!"
Eryi's mother anxiously shouted to Yang Eryi who was still staring at the flowers and plants in a daze.
Until the little guy slowly climbed onto the back of the electric car.
After leaving the community, the man quietly came out and put down his phone.
He went around the fence at the back and climbed out silently.
Zhu Xiyue stood in the living room, not daring to look toward the window.
I'm afraid that man is still there.
But it turned out that her worries were correct. If she had just curiously moved closer to the glass, she would have been able to face the man face to face.
With such a potential danger, Zhu Xiyue now has no appetite at all.
I didn't even eat a few bites of breakfast and lunch, and just left them all on the table as cold dishes.
Just as she was still trembling on the sofa in the living room.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
The moment it rang, Zhu Xiyue clearly felt her heart beating rapidly, which frightened her limbs and even her toes began to swell and ache.
I reached the top directly with fear in my heart.
She lay on the sofa, not daring to move, and held her breath, thinking that no one outside could hear her.
With trembling hands, he took out the anti-wolf equipment from his pocket, ready at any time.
He knocked on the door gently for a while, but when no one responded, he stopped.
There was a rustling sound at the door; it was the sound of a plastic bag.
Zhu Xiyue also calmed down a little.
She walked slowly to the door and mustered up the courage to look through the peephole.
In the corridor facing the cat's eye, there is a video of a bag of braised food.
There was also a note on it, but because it was too far away, Zhu Xiyue couldn't see it clearly.
"Could it be that this is the snack that Lu Yinghan ordered for herself?"
Zhu Xiyue hesitated for a long time, but finally quickly opened the door, took the things into the room, and closed the door.
The whole action was done in one go, without her even taking a breath. After making sure the things were brought in, she let out a long sigh.
There was a piece of paper stuck on the bag.
Zhu Xiyue unfolded it curiously. It was not an invoice, but a few lines of messages written in neat and elegant fonts.
"Little girl, I'm your uncle who lives downstairs. I saw you and Yingying going upstairs that day, but you must have your own reasons, so I didn't tell the police. This is some food I bought for you. Eat it and calm down. After you calm down, see if you can go home."
My uncle's handwriting is vigorous, but it reveals immense warmth.
The texture of this message paper feels pretty good.
If Zhu Xiyue said she wasn't touched, that would definitely be a lie.
She looked at the pile of braised food in the bag and knew it must be expensive.
She was a little reluctant to eat it.
Perhaps it was because she felt reassured, or perhaps it was because of her uncle's warm handwriting that made Zhu Xiyue feel at ease.
Her stomach also began to growl.
Looking at the braised food in her hand happily, she ate a little and saved the rest for Lu Yinghan.
The bag of braised food remained untouched until Lu Yinghan came back from her night self-study in the evening.
"Where are you from?"
Lu Yinghan's eyes widened slightly as she looked at Zhu Xiyue, who was carrying the bag of braised food over as if he was presenting a treasure.
Lu Yinghan was confused.
She is quite brave, isn't she? ? Did you buy it yourself?
"The uncle downstairs brought it here today and wrote this to me. Look, look."
Zhu Xiyue excitedly took the folded message paper from her pocket and presented it to Lu Yinghan.
Lu Yinghan took it and saw the handwriting on it. It was indeed written by the uncle downstairs.
"Luckily, uncle is a good man, otherwise you might have been caught right now."
"I feel that the uncle is very knowledgeable and gentle. I wonder if the aunt is even more gentle."
Zhu Xiyue imagined what the aunt looked like and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
But Lu Yinghan became quiet.
The braised food in my hand suddenly felt a little heavy.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Lu Yinghan didn't reply, Zhu Xiyue thought that she had said something wrong again, and her tone became cautious.
Lu Yinghan glanced at Zhu Xiyue.
Although she is pitiful, she has indeed been raised very well and there are many things she doesn't understand.
"Anyway, you've been discovered by this uncle. If you're free tomorrow, go to their house, thank them for a week, and spend some time with them."
Zhu Xiyue opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but finally nodded and agreed.
The next day, Zhu Xiyue arrived as promised, came to the uncle's door, and hesitated for a few minutes.
Still went forward and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
It's uncle's voice.
Not as cold and fierce as the others.
Uncle's voice sounded even gentler than his words.
This made Zhu Xiyue even more panicked.
"Uncle, it's me. I came to thank you for the braised food you gave me yesterday."
Zhu Xiyue was holding the fruits that Lu Yinghan had prepared for her last night.
Talking to uncle nervously.
This is the first time she came to thank you.
The uncle in the house looked through the peephole and saw that it was indeed the little girl hiding in Yingying's house whom he had seen on the news before.
He quickly opened the door.
"Hey! Why are you being so polite? You don't have to give me a gift."
"Uncle, please accept it."
The uncle's smile became even brighter. He quickly took out the slippers that were rarely seen in the shoe cabinet and placed them in front of Zhu Xiyue.
"Come in and sit down first."
PS: I returned home from Suzhou today
Because I have some things to sort out, I can only post one chapter.
