Time passed, and the first weekend arrived. During this time, Liu Nian hadn't even seen the male lead's face.
She felt the task was progressing a bit slowly and thought she must start taking action when she returned to school on Monday.
The system advised her: "Host, you must remain calm and proceed step by step."
Lazy Sheep leaned back on the sofa, holding an iPad in his hand, scrolling through something.
Hearing the system's words, she felt it was not advisable and replied directly: "Taking things slowly won't work on Gu Minhang. I have to constantly make my presence felt, showing him concern and expressing my feelings, otherwise I won't be able to win him over even with lukewarm water."
The system remained silent.
"Didn't you say he lives downstairs from me? Is it possible to detect him from this distance?"
System: "Based on distance calculations, it should be detectable, but we haven't detected the male lead's presence yet."
Liu Qing smiled slightly: "He might not be home."
In this bustling city, the night view is beautiful. From the 25th floor, you can see the most beautiful night view of Kyoto.
In her previous life, her own house was located in this very spot, and even the decorating style was exactly the same. The only difference was that this house was not hers now.
But it doesn't matter. Since she's going to live here for the rest of her life, she'll naturally buy it.
The next morning, Liu Nian got up especially early.
Based on her years of experience, she tends to pretend to be drowsy in the morning.
She quickly combed her hair and then went out with her hair all disheveled.
She carried a small trash bag downstairs to throw out the trash, and then, after calculating the time precisely, she wandered around the area aimlessly.
Sure enough, Gu Minhang returned from his morning run.
In an instant, Liu Nian put on her dramatic act, her eyes half-closed, looking like she hadn't woken up yet, and followed him into the elevator.
Gu Minhang was wearing a loose tracksuit, and the stray hairs on his forehead were wet with sweat from running and were hanging down.
Once inside the elevator, he acted as if he hadn't seen Liu Nian at all, calmly wiping the fine sweat from his neck with a towel.
After entering the elevator, Liu Nian pretended to be dazed, leaning against the side with her eyes half-closed as if she were dozing off, and didn't even press the elevator button.
Gu Minhang pressed the 24th floor button, and Liu Nian squinted at it before randomly pressing the 24th floor button as well.
It was only then that Gu Minhang noticed her presence and felt that Liu Nian looked somewhat familiar, but he didn't say anything.
I turned the 24 indicator that had been turned off by the passing years back on, and then quietly waited for the elevator to go up.
There weren't many people waiting for the elevator at that time, and the elevator went straight up without stopping.
About a minute later, the elevator dinged, indicating that it had arrived at the 24th floor, and the elevator doors slowly opened.
Liu Nian stepped out of the elevator a step earlier than Gu Minhang. Following the same design as the floor above, she went straight to the same place as the floor above, except that the room number was 2406, which was one number different from hers, 2506.
But Liu Nian pretended not to know and randomly pressed the door code.
Gu Minhang, who had been following behind her, watched her actions in silence.
He only spoke when the door could no longer be unlocked due to too many incorrect password entries.
His voice was gentle and magnetic: "What are you doing?"
As if startled awake, Liu Nian looked up and then looked back, and saw that it was the male lead, Gu Minhang.
She feigned surprise, her expression perfectly conveying the question: "It's you! What are you doing here?" She asked, knowing the answer already, yet it sounded perfectly natural.
Gu Minhang looked down at the girl, who was much shorter than him, his eyes flickering. Then he chuckled and said, "This is my front door. How come I'm here?" As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Nian's clothes, which were loose pajamas. Thinking that she might also live in this building, he asked, "You live here too! Don't you know your own way?"
Liu Nian: "..." Isn't this all so I can get closer to you?! Do you think I'd do something so stupid?!
She glanced at the house number as if by accident, then made a surprised and embarrassed expression, covering her mouth with one hand. Her actions and expressions were extremely natural.
"Oops! I'm sorry, I... I came to the wrong floor."
Gu Minhang crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, looking at Liu Nian: "It's okay, but..." He raised an eyebrow and glanced at his own combination lock: "You locked my house..."
As Liu Nian looked at the locked door code and her mind raced, trying to figure out how to proceed, she suddenly came up with a good idea.
"Um, how long does your combination lock usually lock if you enter the wrong combination too many times?"
"24 hours."
So that means he won't be able to go home all day! Liu Nian felt her chance had come. She looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then cautiously said, "How about... you come to my house for a day? I locked your door, so I have to take responsibility for the consequences." After saying that, she looked embarrassed and stammered, "My house is... it's upstairs, and there's no one else there but me."
This sounds like she's inviting him to her house to do something shady.
Gu Minhang looked at her rosy cheeks and chuckled softly, "I didn't realize you were such a responsible person."
Listening to his words, Liu Nian feigned modesty: "I've always been a responsible person!"
"Oh!" he said with some surprise, then added, "Since you're so sincere in inviting me, then I'll come to your house as a guest!"
Liu Nian thought he would refuse, but she didn't expect him to agree so quickly, which saved her a lot of time.
After the two returned upstairs, Liu Nian pointed out a secondary bedroom with a bathroom to him and told him to go in and take a shower.
Gu Minhang said he had no clothes to wear. Liu Nian remembered that she had a few large-sized pajamas in her closet. She looked at his figure and thought he could fit into them.
