Chapter 49 Chapter 49 "Can you stay tonight?"
Li Huanhuan rushed into house 150 in panic.
Qin Shi, who sent the message for help, was currently sitting in the computer room, playing games and practicing his hand speed.
"You didn't mean 'help'?" Li Huanhuan was clinging to the door frame of the computer room, gasping for breath. Thinking he had seen it wrong, he took out his cell phone and clicked on Qin Shi's previous text message for help.
"I'm hungry, sister. I want to eat pickled cabbage and old duck soup for dinner." Qin Shi was sitting on the gaming chair. When she heard the voice, she raised her head. The wild face looked at her. As her neck turned, the corner of her pajamas slipped off slightly, revealing a section of her white shoulders and neck.
Li Huanhuan paused and looked away, only then did he realize that he had been fooled by him.
"You can't eat sauerkraut if you have a broken bone." Li Huanhuan pursed his lips and said stiffly.
"What should I do? I really miss the sauerkraut and duck soup that my sister ordered before." Qin Shi leaned back in his chair and looked up at her.
Li Huanhuan knew that Qin Shi was talking about the time when he had just moved in and they didn’t know each other’s identities yet, and they used the identities of “Neighbor No. 149” and “Neighbor No. 150” to have a “food exchange”, and this was a dish that Li Huanhuan had ordered for him.
Thinking of what happened before, Li Huanhuan's expression gradually relaxed. However, he still did not agree to Qin Shi's request: "In short, you can't eat pickled vegetables. It's not conducive to wound recovery."
"What should we do then?"
Qin Shi looked at her intently.
Li Huanhuan felt that the way he looked at her was as if he treated her as "sauerkraut and old duck soup" and wanted to swallow her up in one gulp.
"You can't put pickled cabbage in it. If you really want to eat it, you can try other duck soups, such as vermicelli duck soup." Li Huanhuan looked down to avoid his gaze while checking her phone. "I know there's a place that tastes pretty good. Do you want me to send you the address?"
"Okay, thank you, sister."
This time, Qin Shi didn't continue looking at her, but retracted his gaze and picked up the mobile phone on the table.
Li Huanhuan pushed the address of the fan’s old duck soup shop to Qin Shi on his mobile phone. Qin Shi picked it up and quickly ordered dinner.
"Don't you want to eat the food cooked by the auntie?" Li Huanhuan asked.
"I want to change the taste tonight." Qin Shi replied.
Li Huanhuan said "Oh" and felt uncomfortable staying in Qin Shi's computer room, so he said, "Then I'll go back first. The takeaway has arrived, I'll bring it in for you."
"No, sister."
Qin Shi interrupted her, "No need to run anymore, I ordered your portion."
"What?" Li Huanhuan looked at him in surprise.
Qin Shi touched the screen of his phone with his fingers and whispered, "It's only past 4 o'clock now. You can't say that you have already had dinner?"
Li Huanhuan: “…”
Li Huanhuan was embarrassed.
It turned out that Qin Shi had guessed that she had lied at noon. At that time, Qin Shi asked her to stay and have dinner together, but she lied and said she had already eaten. In fact, she hadn't eaten yet when she heard the cook knocking on the door.
However, Li Huanhuan would not admit it.
She pursed her lips and compromised helplessly: "Okay."
Qin Shi raised his eyebrows and a look of triumph appeared on his face. However, when Li Huanhuan looked over, he immediately put it away.
The old duck soup has not been delivered yet, and it will take about an hour. Li Huanhuan didn't want to stay in the same house with Qin Shi, so she said she would go back first and come back after the takeaway arrived. This time, Qin Shi didn't find any reason to keep her.
But after she left, Qin Shi let go of the hands holding the keyboard, picked up the phone again, and transferred two red envelopes to Dongfang Jiao.
Buzz buzz buzz.
The cell phone rang. It was a message from Dongfang Jiao.
Huajiao: "Thank you brother~ [happy].jpg"
Huajiao: "Is the method effective?"
Star: "Yeah."
Hua Jiao: "Brother, I wish you and Sister Huan Huan can get back together soon!"
Qin Shi raised his eyebrows and transferred another red envelope to her.
One hour later, the takeaway was delivered. Li Huanhuan heard the noise outside the door, opened the door and went out, took the old duck soup from the delivery boy, entered the door lock code and went in.
Dinner was eaten in the restaurant.
This time, Qin Shi did not suddenly "act up trouble" and say something inexplicable or weird. After dinner, Li Huanhuan took the initiative to help him carry the garbage downstairs and throw it away. Afterwards, she returned to house No. 149, changed the cat's water, fed it cat food, brushed its teeth, and gave it a bath...
Just when she was about to lie down on the bed, she received another WeChat message from Qin Shi.
Star: "Sister, save me!"
Li Huanhuan glanced at him and ignored him.
Buzz buzz buzz.
Two seconds later, another message came:
"Li Huanhuan——"
0.0: "Dead."
Star: "I'm dying."
Li Huanhuan rolled his eyes.
However, he still replied: "Ancestor, what's wrong with you?"
Star: "Miss you."
However, this was soon withdrawn.
It shows that the other party is typing...
Buzz.
Star: "My hand just slipped."
Star: "I mean, can you come over now?"
0.0: "I've already gone to bed."
The message was sent, but there was no reply.
Li Huanhuan sent a "?", but there was still no movement.
"Meow~"
The cat jumped onto the bed with its tail erect, walked to her feet and rubbed her knees. Li Huanhuan took the opportunity to touch its fur.
Your Highness the Cat meowed twice, walked to the small pillow next to him, and lay down with his body curled up.
"What's going on?" Li Huanhuan stared at the quiet phone.
Could it be that something really happened over there?
Thinking that the other person has difficulty walking, if something really happens, her parents are not around and her friends are far away, she can only ask her for help. If she continues to ignore it, something bad will happen...
The more he thought about it, the more anxious Li Huanhuan became.
Finally, he sat up with a jerk, startling the cat next to him.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll go check on the house next door." While comforting His Majesty the Cat, Li Huanhuan put on his coat, took his cell phone and keys, and walked outside.
It was already time to go to bed and it was very quiet outside. Li Huanhuan stood at the door of No. 150, entered the door lock code, and pushed the door open.
"Qin Shi?"
The room is dark.
Even in the summer, there is a cool chill. The bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and Li Huanhuan couldn't help but speed up his pace.
"Qin Shi, you..."
She came to the bedroom and pushed the door open.
There was no light on in the house, the bedroom curtains were open, and a figure was sitting on a cushion in the bay window.
Click.
Li Huanhuan fumbled and turned on the bedroom light. As the power button was pressed, the room lit up and Li Huanhuan could see clearly the person sitting on the bay window.
Qin Shi was wearing pajamas, with his head down, sitting there quietly.
"Oh, sorry, I thought something happened to you." Li Huanhuan quickly avoided his sight.
No one answered from the other side.
Li Huanhuan waited for a moment, raised his head again, and looked across: "Qin Shi, are you okay?"
Those black eyes that had always been high-spirited and full of fighting spirit now looked particularly dim, as if covered with a layer of gray. Li Huanhuan felt that Qin Shi, who was sitting on the bay window, was a little strange. Her instinct urged her to leave quickly and not meddle in other people's business. However, it was as if her feet had taken root and she was nailed to the spot.
Qin Shi raised his head and looked at her solemnly: "Li Huanhuan, can you stay tonight?"
"Stay, stay?!"
Li Huanhuan opened his eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief. Soon, her cheeks became redder and redder, not because of shyness, but more like anger of being offended.
She glared at the boy in the bay window.
"Are you dizzy?" she asked.
He actually asked her if he could stay tonight? Why are you asking such abrupt questions? Does she look like such a casual person?
At this moment, it was as if there was a furnace burning in Li Huanhuan's brain, which was about to burn out her sanity.
"Hey, what's going on in your mind?"
Qin Shi raised his hand helplessly and rubbed his brows. "What I mean is, can you not go back tonight and stay at my house? I..."
He paused, "I don't want to be alone."
"So, that's what it means."
Li Huanhuan opened his mouth and stared at him blankly.
His face turned red with embarrassment.
"What else? Is there any other meaning?" Qin Shi chuckled.
"..."Li Huanhuan.
She stared at Qin Shi.
Although there was no evidence, she always felt that Qin Shi did it on purpose, deliberately leading her to think in other ways.
"Why?" Li Huanhuan asked.
She doesn't understand.
Qin Shi licked his lips, seeming to find it difficult to speak: "I have never slept alone."
"What?"
Li Huanhuan thought he had heard it wrong.
"The room is too empty."
Qin Shi felt a little lost. "From childhood to adulthood, I have always had people around me. When I was a child, it was my parents. Later, I raised BBQ. After I joined the Sirius Club, there were my teammates. Because of the injury, BBQ is not with me. I have never tried sleeping alone in an empty house. This makes me feel very uncomfortable."
He looked very pitiful. He raised his head and looked at her pleadingly, "So tonight, can you sleep at my house?"
"ah?"
Li Huanhuan opened his eyes wide and looked at him in surprise.
She didn't expect that the protagonist had such a weak side and was afraid to sleep alone? She thought that he was as passionate and enthusiastic as barbecue, always full of energy and afraid of nothing.
It seems that there are still big differences between humans and dogs.
"Really? Why don't you try to overcome it?" Li Huanhuan touched his nose and encouraged him.
Li Huanhuan's personality is similar to that of His Majesty the Cat, and he can live alone. Sometimes, I even enjoy this loneliness.
She has lived alone since her mother and stepfather moved to the suburbs to retire, and she has never felt sad.
Qin Shi is the protagonist, and his character is to "constantly challenge himself", so he should be able to overcome all difficulties.
"No." Qin Shi shook his head.
Seeing Li Huanhuan looking over, he paused and added, "What I mean is that even if we want to overcome it, it will take time."
Li Huanhuan nodded in agreement.
She couldn't refute this.
"So, you agree?" Qin Shi asked.
"ah?"
Li Huanhuan's body was stiff.
"May I?"
Qin Shi looked at her pleadingly, "Sister?"
“…”
"Sister, didn't you promise my aunt and my mother that you would take good care of me? If I'm not in a good condition at night and something happens in the house, and I can't contact you, then it won't be..."
"stop!"
Li Huanhuan interrupted his terrible description.
Qin Shi looked at her pitifully.
Li Huanhuan scratched his head, and finally, under the sense of responsibility and Qin Shi's eye attack, he nodded slowly.
"Where do I sleep?" she asked.
