Xu Jingzhi saw Song Leilei standing at the door, neither looking to go out nor coming over.
She held a small, clean white bowl in her hands, her eyes still looking confused.
Was he... scared by that mustachioed guy?
Song Leilei is actually easily frightened. Apart from Xu Jingzhi, she is easily frightened by other people. Of course, it's not just people, but also small animals.
Thinking this, Xu Jingzhi got up and walked over.
When Song Leilei saw Xu Jingzhi approaching, her first instinct was to run away. Her hand holding the small bowl trembled, and with a thud, the bowl fell to the ground.
She even let out a soft "ah" herself.
The shards bounced to Xu Jingzhi's feet, and he stopped, standing there frowning as he looked at her.
Then Song Leilei turned to leave, and with another bang, her head hit the door.
She pressed her forehead in pain and rubbed her nose, feeling something cool flowing down.
When I touched it, blood was flowing onto my palm.
She had a nosebleed.
"Don't bother with that kind of person."
Behind me was Xu Jingzhi's voice.
Song Leilei didn't turn around, but simply covered her nose with her hand, saying, "I didn't take it to heart, it just hurts..."
Xu Jingzhi leaned over and saw Song Leilei crying. "You didn't take it to heart, yet you're crying like this. You've only met him once and you've already fallen for that mustachioed guy?"
"What is this?" Song Leilei felt her whole face swelling up, and her forehead, which had been hit quite hard, started to hurt. She rubbed her forehead with the back of her hand.
With her nose no longer obstructed, Xu Jingzhi finally saw the two streams of blood flowing down her nose.
Xu Jingzhi went to the dining table to get some tissues and used them to plug Song Leilei's nostrils to stop the bleeding. In the process, he also noticed the bruise on her forehead.
He knew without even seeing it that the person had banged their head against the door, and he almost laughed in anger, "Don't you even watch where you're going?"
He realized he had spoken too harshly, but seeing Leilei's miserable state, his voice softened, "If you're not watching where you're going, just remember to call me. I can still help you out."
Song Leilei had a headache and a sore nose, so she didn't even notice the blood on her hands. But Xu Jingzhi took her hand and wiped the blood clean for her.
He wiped very carefully, one stroke at a time.
"I forgot there was a door here, how could I remember?" She became more and more aggrieved as she spoke.
Xu Jingzhi blurted out: "Then what can your brain remember?"
But when he looked up again and saw her looking so wronged, all the words he had said to tease her suddenly went to waste.
He took her hand, pushed open the door, and pulled her outside.
Su Jin kept watching the two of them. Xu Jingzhi turned around and nodded to her, saying, "I'll take Leilei with me first. You two continue."
After they left, Su Jin couldn't help but smile like an aunt again.
Because Su Jin is stunningly beautiful, she is the type of woman that men find difficult to approach. These men are too embarrassed to talk to her and can only glance at her from time to time.
Just as she stood up, intending to end the dinner, a figure rushed in, causing her to stop in her tracks.
At that moment, looking at Zheng Lin standing at the door, she couldn't help but swallow.
Su Jin didn't understand why Zheng Lin would suddenly appear here.
......
Song Leilei was taken back to her apartment by Xu Jingzhi.
Song Leilei picked up the mirror on the table, looked at her face, and carefully touched the tip of her nose with her finger. "How did I become like this? Am I disfigured? But I have to film in a few days. If I can't film, I'll have to pay compensation."
The thought of losing money made her feel utterly disheartened.
She's a girl from the slums; where would she get so much money to pay others every day?
Xu Jingzhi glanced at the message and location he sent to Young Master Zheng and thought to himself: I wonder if Young Master Zheng went there or not.
"Tell me about it," Xu Jingzhi said, adopting an older brother's tone. "Why are you going out to eat and meet so many men? Huh? I've already transferred the money to you, and you're still going on blind dates."
His long, slender index finger tapped repeatedly on the table, his eyes fixed intently on her.
Song Leilei felt very uneasy, as if she had been caught doing something wrong, and her heart was pounding wildly.
"I didn't go on any blind dates. We just happened to be having a meal, and I had no idea so many men would show up." The more Song Leilei explained, the softer her voice became, until the last two words were so quiet that only she could hear them.
"Forget it, with your brain, you can't possibly understand these things."
Xu Jingzhi said, "Then you have to remember this from now on. Since you have already accepted my family's betrothal money, you can no longer have contact with other men. Normal contact is fine, but if someone says they like you, just tell them to get lost."
Song Leilei opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
It's never good to tell someone to leave.
"That's not a good idea."
"What's wrong with kicking out a complete stranger who's trying to take advantage of you? You have to be able to use the same nasty attitude you have towards me to drive them away, understand?"
Song Leilei blinked twice. "Okay."
Xu Jingzhi smiled with satisfaction. It was rare for Lei Lei to listen to him like this. He casually asked her, "Do you want me to stay and keep you company?"
"No."
Song Leilei was so anxious that she almost jumped off the chair. She said, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles, "You must be tired too. Hurry up and go home. Uncle Xu is probably still waiting for you at home. Don't keep him waiting."
Just thinking about having a man and a woman in the same room made her unable to sleep.
Upon hearing her words, Xu Jingzhi visibly hesitated for a moment. In the past, Song Leilei would always try her best to keep him sleeping on the living room sofa.
They desperately tried to keep him in the living room to guard the gate.
He has been her family's doorman for many years.
In the past, whenever he wanted to go home, he would be forced to stay overnight as soon as he stepped into Song Leilei's apartment, because she was always afraid of living alone. She was afraid of ghosts and insects, and there was nothing she wasn't afraid of.
In addition, the apartment was not soundproof, and strange noises could always be heard. Song Leilei, a timid girl, felt a strong sense of security as soon as she saw Xu Jingzhi in the house.
Therefore, Xu Jingzhi was extremely surprised by Song Leilei's reaction.
He even asked again, "Are you sure you don't want me to stay and keep you company?"
As I asked this question, I heard a thumping sound from upstairs, the sound of a couple arguing next door, and a scream that seemed to come from nowhere.
As Song Leilei listened to these sounds, her eyes also caught sight of a cockroach on the carpet under the coffee table.
She gasped, pulling her legs up onto the chair. "Stay, stay here."
"You think I'll just stay? Besides, I'm no longer your childhood friend. We need a proper title to share a room."
Xu Jingzhi bent down and got closer to Song Leilei.
Song Leilei looked at the cockroach with its whiskers swaying on its head, quickly grabbed the fabric of his clothes on his arm and held it tightly, "I'll give you the identity of Superman, now go and catch that cockroach!"
