"I won't feel at ease if I don't see you up." Gu Lingxiao walked forward without waiting for a reply.
Lu Zhixia could only follow, thinking to herself that this person was really obedient when he was obedient, but when he was disobedient, he was like a blockhead.
However, it's safer to go back with someone than to go back alone.
The night was dark; the moon was obscured by clouds, and there was no moonlight. Only the beams of their flashlights illuminated their way.
They walked one after the other without saying a word.
Lu Zhixia felt the atmosphere was a bit tense and wanted to go home as soon as possible. As she passed the pile of cardboard boxes on the second floor, she suddenly moved.
It startled her, and she lost her balance and fell backward.
She only had time to utter an "ah" before she was pulled back.
Gu Lingxiao forcefully pulled the person over and hugged them around the waist. Because he used too much force, his right arm hurt again.
The incident happened so suddenly that he didn't have time to extend his left hand, so his right hand was the fastest.
The flashlight fell to the ground, and the sound of it rolling, combined with the light, was a little frightening in the quiet night.
"I saw the cardboard box move just now," Lu Zhixia quickly explained, then she was hugged tightly, chest to chest, and she could feel his heartbeat.
Did he also feel her heartbeat?
She tried to struggle and push him away, but his large hands held her tightly.
"Don't move!"
The deep voice sent shivers down one's spine.
Lu Zhixia wondered if his arm was starting to hurt.
So she didn't resist and just let him hold her.
A few minutes later.
Gu Lingxiao slowly released his hand and then put the person down.
"Let me pick up the flashlight and go see what's in the cardboard box before I go up."
Lu Zhixia was also curious about what was inside the box. After picking up the flashlight, he walked step by step to the pile of cardboard boxes.
As soon as the cardboard box was pushed open, a huge rat scurried out of it.
It came straight at her, startling her so much that she didn't even have time to scream!
The next second, Gu Lingxiao stepped on the rat's tail with one foot, and then stepped on its head with the other. The rat was still struggling.
However, it soon stopped moving and some blood began to appear beneath it. Gu Lingxiao put the rat into a cardboard box.
"I'll take it down to the trash can when I go downstairs later."
"Such a huge rat!"
"This must be the rat king in the building."
"It's already frighteningly big; if it grows any bigger, it'll be bigger than a cat."
"Indeed, these rats can understand human speech, and they are not easy to catch normally."
Lu Zhixia couldn't help but look at his arm, recalling the scene just now where the man's arm had tightly wrapped around her waist. With her weight of around 100 pounds, he must have used a great deal of strength.
Is your arm alright?
"It's just pulling you, how much force could it take? Don't think of me as so weak!" Gu Lingxiao said casually, but he felt that he had used a lot of force just now.
I don't know if it will have any impact, but he just doesn't want to say.
"Then you should be careful when you go back and not exert yourself too much. Grandpa said that you shouldn't exert yourself too much recently as it will affect the treatment."
"Okay, I understand. Let's continue upstairs."
He touched his nose with his left hand; he didn't want to let go of the person when he hugged them just now.
If you take it seriously, he's being a pervert. Even though he didn't physically touch her, he felt everything she was supposed to feel.
The saying "women are like water" is truly true.
He quickly reached the third floor and arrived at his doorstep. He felt that time had passed too quickly, and he wished it could slow down.
Lu Zhixia, "Do you need to use a flashlight when you go downstairs?"
Gu Lingxiao promptly handed her the flashlight, saying, "You don't need to take it back."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. This flashlight belongs to Sister Lan. I'll buy another one when I go out tomorrow, so it will be more convenient to use it at night."
"Then I'll head back now."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Gu Lingxiao decisively turned and left, afraid that he would lose control...
Lu Zhixia turned around, went inside, and closed the door behind her. After a busy day, she could finally rest.
First, I washed my face and hands, then my feet, and finally changed my clothes. I relaxed and lay down on the soft bed and fell asleep quickly.
Gu Lingxiao hurriedly got off the bus. A gust of cold wind blew over him, and the heat on his body dissipated a lot. He walked to the car.
Seeing that Xiao Zhang was sitting in the driver's seat, he asked,
"Can we drive now?"
"No problem, I think it's fine."
"Then I'll sit in the back. Drive slowly, no need to rush. If you need to use the restroom, just pull over to the side of the road."
"Yes, Captain! Mission accomplished!"
"Speak less in the future!"
Xiao Zhang was confused at first, but then it dawned on him: the captain was really jealous.
Even the toughest man gets jealous and falls for her!
After getting into the car, Gu Lingxiao looked out the window and saw that the light was still on in Lu Zhixia's room, which gave him a strange sense of peace.
Let's go!
Only after receiving the order did Xiao Zhang start the car and drive it away.
Comrade Lu's cooking is delicious; I wonder if I'll be able to eat it again tomorrow.
And you must keep your mouth shut, you can't let the captain say anything more, or he'll replace you!

Lu Zhixia woke up on time in the morning, but was a little sleepy. Today was another day to make money, and she wanted to work hard to earn some.
She set a goal for herself: as long as she had 3,000 yuan, she would go find her child.
Pushing open the door and stepping outside, I saw that Su Lan was already busy at work.
As she had instructed yesterday, the vegetables and vermicelli were placed together, and the bags were neatly arranged all over the stove.
Su Lan turned around and saw Lu Zhixia, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"You're awake! Go wash your face and brush your teeth quickly, I've cooked some noodles."
"I'll go right away." Lu Zhixia turned around, went back into the house, grabbed a basin, and went to the water room.
