A new neighbor moved in next door. Su Huaiwang saw her through the fence. The girl was slender and soft, her exposed skin transparently white in the summer sunlight, yet with the cool, jade-like te...
Chapter 49: Victory belongs to those who are willing to take risks and the last time we met...
Compared with the last time they met, Lei Yinyin was obviously much more embarrassed this time.
He was still in high spirits, but his hand was injured somehow and was wrapped in two large bandages, which made him look scary. His skin was also a little dry and cracked, and he had dark circles under his eyes, as if he had not slept well for a long time.
Su Huaiwang's expression unconsciously showed concern: "...Miss Lei?"
Lei Yinyin seemed to realize that he looked rather miserable at the moment, and wanted to scratch his head awkwardly - he had only raised his hand halfway when he remembered that he couldn't use his fingers.
"It's me, uh, Miss Su, aren't you going to ask me why I'm here?"
Su Huaiwang readily agreed: "Okay, then why are you here? Is it time for another return visit?"
"No." Lei Yinyin grinned at her, glancing at the silent Lin Jue beside her. "In fact, from today on, I'm going to live here too."
After saying that, she raised her tightly bound hands and said hello to both Su Huaiwang and Lin Jue: "Hello, new neighbors."
Before Su Huaiwang could speak, Lin Jue spoke first:
"She's been unloading your luggage since the day you left."
The girl's voice was slightly cold, like ice chips during the transition period between autumn and winter.
Su Huaiwang frowned subconsciously.
Is this abandoned resort a good place? Why are so many people flocking here?
But if she really wanted to move here... she couldn't help it, but her peaceful life might...
Su Huaiwang, who was thinking, didn't realize that her thoughts about Lei Yinyin moving in were completely different from when she saw Lin Jue moving in.
She looked Lei Yinyin up and down, and hesitated to speak: "...This place is quite far from the hospital."
The smile on Lei Yinyin's face froze for a moment. If she hadn't seen that Su Huaiwang said this with good intentions, she would have almost thought that Lin Jue had forced Su Huaiwang to say this.
"It's okay...it's nothing serious...it will be fine soon."
She forced a smile and suppressed her resentment towards the culprit.
Lin Jue stood aside with his arms folded, watching her performance leisurely.
"Standing outside all the time is no use. Let's put our luggage back first."
She suddenly spoke.
Su Huaiwang suddenly realized and turned to Lei Yinyin and said, "Then we'll take our leave first. I hope the relocation goes well. Come to my house when you have time."
Lei Yinyin smiled brightly: "Okay, definitely."
Su Huaiwang then dragged the suitcase away, and Lin Jue followed her with the other luggage, not forgetting to turn around and give Lei Yinyin a provocative look.
The smile on Lei Yinyin's face had completely disappeared when Su Huaiwang turned around. Now, facing Lin Jue, there was only gritting anger on her face.
This ghost!
-
After closing the door, Su Huaiwang tried to look out through the window.
She looked worried: "Is Miss Lei okay? How can she move things if she is injured?"
“There’s a moving company.”
"Can't a moving company do a more detailed job?"
"It's okay. Their family is rich and can afford to hire someone to do the delicate work."
Su Huaiwang withdrew his gaze from the window, half believing and half doubting: "Are you familiar with her?"
Lin Jue paused, "We're not very familiar with each other. We just chatted for a few minutes before you came back. She told me all that."
Su Huaiwang didn't say anything, but just turned his head to look out the window.
Lei Yinyin left early in the morning, and now there was no one outside the window, only the setting sun and the swaying shadows of the trees.
The unique fragrance approaches and invades the city.
"Are you in a bad mood?" Lin Jue asked cautiously in his ear.
She always seemed to be very sharp and would not hesitate to pay attention to her negative emotions. Su Huaiwang really wanted to know what kind of family she grew up in to acquire such cautious abilities.
"No, maybe I'm just a little tired." Su Huaiwang threw the thoughts out of his mind and tried to relax his brows as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jue did not follow her down the stairs, but just stared at her, certain: "You are lying.
"Are you in a bad mood because you think I'm getting too close to her?
"Are you jealous?"
The amber eyes came closer and closer to her, shining in the remaining sunset glow.
Su Huaiwang had to push her face away.
"No."
Maybe it is true, but the words Lin Jue used are too harsh.
Maybe it's not jealousy, but just a little jealousy.
It's normal to be jealous of your friends.
When Tu Zhizhuo was a child, she would cry for a while even when she went to the toilet with others.
Even though his face was pushed, Lin Jue still smiled: "Don't worry, I like you the most, you are the most important."
It was not difficult for her to make such a solemn promise.
But it is not easy for the listeners to face.
Su Huaiwang's heart skipped a beat, but fortunately the gradually enveloping darkness covered the blush on her face.
She was a little angry and complained, "Don't tell anyone anything..."
Since that night, the relationship between the two seemed to have changed, but also seemed not to have changed.
A mere kiss on the corner of the lips was not enough to change the relationship between friends, but it was enough to make the distance between them even stranger.
Lin Jue looked at her intently and suddenly asked, "Can I kiss you?"
Su Huaiwang trembled and panicked: "It's still daytime!"
"Can't it be done during the day?"
"That's not what I meant! It's...it's..." He had to choose the moment when she was trying to convince herself to be rational.
Being rejected, Lin Jue did not hide the disappointment on his face.
She pursed her lips: "Okay, if you want it, come to me." She would definitely not refuse Su Huaiwang.
Su Huaiwang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he was still trying to argue dryly: "I already said that's not what I meant..."
"What does that mean?" Lin Jue frowned slightly and tilted his head, looking like he didn't understand a lot.
Su Huaiwang couldn't explain his complicated and tangled feelings to her, so he could only give up: "Kiss, you can kiss me, okay, but after today, you are not allowed to talk about it again in the next few days."
Lin Jue's eyebrows curved, and he said, "Okay."
Su Huaiwang regretted that she should have deleted the "few days" she said at that time.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, she took a deep breath, slowly moved closer to Lin Jue's face, and placed a kiss on it.
"…Are you satisfied?"
The soft touch flashed by, and Lin Jue replied reluctantly: "Yeah."
Only then did Su Huaiwang exhale the breath he had just taken.
"But why not kiss further down?"
“!”
-
The doorbell rang.
Su Huaiwang got up and opened the door.
Outside the door was someone I had just met not long ago.
Lei Yinyin.
The woman greeted her with a smile, showing a strong will despite her disability.
Su Huaiwang welcomed his new neighbor in.
The first thing the new neighbor did when he entered the house was not to sit on the sofa, but to look around: "Is Lin Jue not here?"
Su Huaiwang said honestly: "She has something to do back home, she will come back later."
Lei Yinyin was obviously relieved.
Su Huaiwang took the opportunity to ask, "Did you move here because of my problem?"
Lei Yinyin turned around and saw Su Huaiwang with a worried look on his face.
Lei Yinyin, who had originally intended to hint at her, immediately swallowed her original answer: "...No."
The woman responded with a "yeah", and it wasn't clear whether she believed it or not.
She pointed at the other person's arm, which was folded like a stick. "How did you get this injury?"
The veins on Lei Yinyin's forehead bulged: "Car accident."
Also a car accident?
Su Huaiwang was confused.
"Hey, let's not talk about these unlucky things for now. How is Tu Zhizhuo?"
"Do you know Tu Zhizhuo?"
"I'm a fan, I guess. I've seen her concert and heard she was in a car accident, so I'm concerned about her." Lei Yinyin emphasized the word "car accident".
Su Huaiwang didn't doubt it. The other party was a police officer, so it was not surprising that he knew her social network.
"Well, the injury isn't serious. If you still want to hear her play the piano, that's totally fine."
Su Huaiwang carefully considered his words, but his eyes couldn't help but drift to Lei Yinyin's hands from time to time.
Lei Yinyin: ...
She suddenly felt very tired.
"I've already visited, so I'll... go back first. Be careful. If you need anything, you can come find me upstairs."
Lei Yinyin pointed outside the window.
The villa she lived in was higher than those of Su Huaiwang and Lin Jue, and visually it was above them.
"Well, if you have any inconvenience, you can come to us."
Su Huaiwang looked at her bandage again.
Lei Yinyin didn't want to talk anymore and tightened her lips.
Su Huaiwang sent her to the door, and when he was about to open it, the door suddenly opened from the outside.
Lin Jue, his arms full, raised an eyebrow and looked at Lei Yinyin: "What a rare guest."
Su Huaiwang didn't know why, but he always felt that there was a hint of teasing and provocation in her words.
With their owner in front, the two dogs and one cat ignored the stranger in front of them who was emitting a pleasant smell, and rushed into their owner's arms with a whimper.
Su Huaiwang immediately squatted down, hugged the three of them in his arms and comforted them.
Lin Jue and Lei Yinyin were left to confront each other.
Lei Yinyin's eyebrows almost stood up.
She glanced at the vegetables in the other person's arms and instantly knew what Su Huaiwang had just said.
She sneered, "What a fun time."
Lin Jue raised his chin slightly: "Indeed."
Lei Yinyin punched the cotton and said in no hurry: "You do it?"
"I do."
"Are you not afraid of any problems from eating?"
"Oh, why don't you try it?"
Lei Yinyin was waiting for these words. She immediately turned around and shouted to Su Huaiwang, "Miss Su! She said she wanted to keep me for dinner!"
Lin Jue:?
Su Huaiwang barely raised his head from the licking of the three little ones, and the girl's face as serious as the bottom of a pot immediately appeared in his eyes.
?
What happened to Lin Jue? Why was he so angry? He was so radiant when he left just now.
Noticing Su Huaiwang's gaze, Lin Jue reluctantly restrained his expression: "Did I say that?"
Lei Yinyin was not afraid of being embarrassed and shouted loudly: "Of course! You just asked me if I wanted to try the food you cooked! Miss Su, you heard it too!"
Su Huaiwang's gaze shifted to Lin Jue again.
Lin Jue was truly using her own inner strength to control her expression. She was terrified that she would lose control and violently beat up the Heavenly Master the next second.
"...This is Su Huaiwang's home." In other words, her invitation does not count.
Unexpectedly, Su Huaiwang agreed easily: "Eat together? That's fine."
Lin Jue looked at Su Huaiwang in disbelief.
Su Huaiwang didn't notice anything and even blinked at her.
"Then Lin Jue and I will do it together, so you can taste the cooking skills of both of us at once."
This round was Lei Yinyin's victory. She raised her plaster-like hands on the spot without any grace: "Great!"
