When Lu Jingxu came back upstairs, he happened to meet the neighbor aunt who had complained about them upstairs before.
When he entered the apartment building, his aunt was walking in front of him, holding a mobile phone in her hand and making a video call with someone. He slowed down his pace, confirmed that the elevator door would close before he arrived, and then resumed his normal pace and walked forward.
Unexpectedly, the aunt hung up the phone just as the elevator door was about to close, raised her head, and met Lu Jingxu's eyes.
The aunt recognized him immediately, her eyes lit up, and she quickly pressed the elevator button and waved to him.
"Hey boy, come on, come on!"
Lu Jingxu stopped abruptly. He wanted to let his aunt go first, but he couldn't resist her enthusiasm and walked forward with his head down.
"Hello, Auntie."
Auntie smiled at him and nodded: "Which floor are you going to?"
"22nd floor."
The aunt helped him press the floor button: "I live on the 23rd floor, 2303. Where do you live, young man?"
Lu Jingxu wasn't used to interacting with aunts of this age, so he could only answer each question: "2203."
"That's just right since we live on the same floor. Next time, Auntie will make dumplings or wonton stew and bring it down for you and your girlfriend."
"Don't bother."
"Hey, why bother? It's just something easy. Look, I just bought some wonton wrappers, and you looked like... you went to the pharmacy, right? Is your girlfriend sick?"
Lu Jingxu remembered something and quickly hid the hand holding the bag behind his back. However, he didn't expect that his aunt had such sharp eyes that she could immediately see the name of the medicine inside.
"Zuo Juenuo... Hey, isn't this a contraceptive pill? Did you buy it for your girlfriend? You didn't wear it yourself and let her take it, you you you..."
Before he could finish his words, the elevator had already arrived. Lu Jingxu walked out quickly, anxious to get rid of the aunt's scrutiny, surprise, and even reproachful gaze behind him.
Unexpectedly, I heard hurried footsteps before I had walked far. My aunt actually followed me.
"Why are you running? Did you hear me? Oh my, your girlfriend is really unlucky to be with you. Call her out and I'll talk her down. How can I have a boyfriend like you? If you were my son, I'd beat you to death."
Thinking that Su Yinyin was probably still asleep in bed, Lu Jingxu grabbed his aunt's arm and said, "Auntie, I know you. I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again. You can rest assured."
The aunt didn't listen to him at all. Adhering to the principle of persuading as many people as possible, she broke free from Lu Jingxu's hand, walked up quickly and knocked on the door of 2203.
A voice that could be heard throughout the entire floor: "Little girl, little girl, you stay in there."
Su Yinyin in the room had just dozed off for a while and was not asleep yet. She heard her aunt's voice after just a few shouts.
She sat on the bed and sighed: Could it be that the property management lady came to visit? There was no news in the community group chat. Why did Lu Jingxu go out at this time?
There were loud shouts and drums outside. She was afraid that the neighbors would think something had happened in her house and come out to cause trouble, so she took a deep breath and stood up from the bed in one go.
Finally moved to the door.
An elderly lady with permed and dyed yellow curly hair opened the door and stood side by side with Lu Jingxu, who was holding medicine and looked hopeless.
Seeing Su Yinyin finally open the door, the aunt looked Su Yinyin up and down for a while.
You know what, these two young people look quite a good match.
"Girl, you are this guy's girlfriend, right? I'm a straightforward auntie, so I'll say it straight. A pretty girl like you must be careful when looking for a boyfriend. You can't think everything about him is good just because he looks good. Your body is your own. If he plays you to pieces, he'll walk away with nothing, but you'll be the one who suffers!"
Su Yinyin was confused when she heard this and quickly turned her gaze to Lu Jingxu, hoping that he could give her a reasonable explanation. Unexpectedly, he turned his head helplessly and pointed at the medicine bag.
Only then did she understand what her aunt meant.
"Little girl, did you hear that? Why do I feel like you're not in a good mood? Did he bully you?"
"Ah... no no, Auntie, you misunderstood, this and that..."
Seeing her hesitate and silent, the aunt's eyes were filled with worry: "It's okay, don't be afraid, auntie will take care of it for you. I'm from our community women's federation. If you have any difficulties, just tell me directly."
Su Yinyin knew that the aunt had good intentions, but she didn't want the story between her and Lu Jingxu to spread to the neighbors. Besides, they were public figures after all. Lu Jingxu was a movie actor, and the older generation might not be familiar with him, but there was no guarantee that young people wouldn't recognize him.
So she had no choice but to grit her teeth and say with difficulty: "Actually, you misunderstood...I was too impulsive last night..."
The old lady rolled her eyes a few times before finally understanding what Su Yinyin meant. She quickly looked at Su Yinyin and then raised her head to look at Lu Jingxu.
"Oh my, what's going on? Oh, sorry, young man, look at me..." She was speechless for a moment. "I, I don't have much to say. So... young lady, please take care of yourself. You can't joke with your health on impulse, okay?"
Su Yinyin nodded with an awkward look on her face. Perhaps being an actor had this advantage. At this moment, she could make the expressions and movements so lifelike that she startled the old lady.
Auntie was a little embarrassed at this moment, her face a little stiff. She turned around and wanted to go upstairs, but was suddenly startled by Lu Jingxu's voice:
"Auntie, you're right. Actually, this matter is my fault. We had a fight yesterday, and I didn't consider that this would hurt her body."
The aunt was stunned, confused by the twists and turns of the drama.
Su Yinyin was also stunned.
"Don't be angry. My girlfriend lied to you so that I wouldn't be criticized. It was all my fault. I know I was wrong now and I promise it won't happen again."
"This... Well, young man, just listen to my advice and treat your girlfriend well in the future. I can't discuss your private affairs, but you still have to communicate well first..." After she said this, she really felt that this young couple was good. At least they would admit their mistakes and they really cared about each other.
"Having said that, you two are doing well."
After saying hello to Lu Jingxu and Su Yinyin, the aunt turned into the corridor and went upstairs.
Su Yinyin was completely exhausted. She collapsed on the sofa after taking two steps. Lu Jingxu put away his things and took a blanket to cover Su Yinyin.
"Do you know you're wrong?" Su Yinyin looked into his eyes and said.
"I was wrong. I was really wrong."
Lu Jingxu squatted down beside him, his eyes sincere.
"I was too impulsive last night and didn't consider your feelings."
He looked straight at Su Yinyin, his eyes filled with a long list of words he wanted to say to her.
