"It's not that I didn't mean that, you misunderstood."
Adrian turned around and walked to the table to pour a glass of water. "It's best if you don't have this idea. You sleep in the room tonight and I'll sleep on the sofa."
"Huh?" Meng Lu glanced around. "Isn't this a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment? We each have our own room. There's no need for you to sleep on the sofa!"
"One is an office. My family lives in the countryside, and the rent here is very expensive. Remember to be careful not to bump into the expensive furniture."
"You..." Meng Lu had a new impression of him, a stingy guy. This guy was too stingy. After all, she would not damage the furniture for no reason after knowing that he was renting the house!
"Okay, okay, I get it. Pour me some water, don't just drink it yourself."
The two of them drank some water. They would probably stay here for two more days anyway, so Meng Lu simply wanted to have a serious chat with the other party to understand his situation so that he could tell He Kun about it when he returned.
This person is honest and capable, and can be promoted to one's own person, but the other party has no intention of chatting with her at all, and directly drove her away after drinking the water.
"Please move aside, I need to rest."
This guy... Really, Meng Lu complained about him in his heart, then quickly finished his tea and went back to his room to rest.
After opening the bedroom door, a fresh fragrance hit me. It turned out to be the scent of jasmine flowers in front of the window.
The window was open. This is a coastal city, so there was some wind at night, and the wind filled the whole room with the scent of jasmine.
I moved my eyes to the left and saw that the table was so messy. There were all kinds of unimportant small documents scattered around.
Forget it, since he is so busy, just help clean up!
Suddenly a piece of paper fell down. She bent down to pick it up. On it was Adrien's goal written in his own handwriting.
The goal of life can be summed up in two words: original intention.
Indeed, original intention is the easiest thing to lose. Many people lose themselves after gaining power.
She suddenly had some expectations for him, hoping that he would stick to his original intention and reach the capital one day.
I took off my coat and lay on the bed. The quilt and sheets smelled of laundry detergent. No wonder he let me sleep in his bedroom directly. It turned out that he had already tidied it up.
Meng Lu fell asleep smelling the scent of jasmine flowers.
The next day, there was an urgent knock on the door. Meng Qi frowned, "Who is it?"
"Hey, hurry up, I'm going to be late for work."
"What does it have to do with me that you're late for work? I'm so sleepy and I need to sleep."
"Okay, then you can stay here and sleep!" Adrian originally wanted to take her to work first, and then take her to find a hotel at noon. It was not a good idea for her to sleep here all the time, which could easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he decided to forget it for now.
There were constant sounds of laughter coming from outside, as if someone was talking under a blanket. I was sure there were sounds, but they didn't sound real, like a nightmare.
Meng Qi slowly woke up. The sun was already shining in from outside. The jasmine flowers beside the bed had wilted from the sun. She immediately got out of bed and wanted to move them away. Suddenly, she saw her cell phone light up and there was a message.
When she opened it, she saw that Adrian didn't want her to touch the jasmine flowers, as this little sunlight wouldn't kill her.
Just don't touch it! She was also hungry, so she planned to make something to eat. There happened to be a kitchen here, but when she opened the refrigerator, it was empty.
No, doesn’t he cook on weekdays?
At this time, a new message came in her hand. It was Adrian telling her to order takeout if she was hungry. He also provided her with a reference plan, telling her which restaurants nearby were delicious and which were not.
Quite attentive.
She then ordered takeout and wanted to ask him to reimburse her, but since his home was so remote, he charged her a lot for delivery. Then she thought better of it! It wasn't easy for him either.
Half an hour later, the meal was delivered. Just when she was halfway through her meal, there was a knock on the door. She didn't know who was outside and didn't dare to open the door without permission. It would be bad if she got Adrian into trouble. So she started sending messages to ask him if he had made any reservations or bought anything online.
I just haven’t received any reply from the other party. He must be in a meeting!
The knock on the door came again half a minute later, but no one on the other end spoke.
Until footsteps were heard.
The other party left.
Meng Lu quietly opened the door a crack and was about to see what was happening outside when suddenly a terrifying face appeared in the crack. She was so scared that she screamed and fell to the ground, and the door opened.
I saw a five-year-old boy standing stiffly outside the door, half of his face was destroyed.
He moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but seeing that the beautiful sister was so scared, he finally said nothing, lowered his head and turned away.
"Wait." Meng Qi caught up with the little boy who was walking down the stairs, "Come here for a moment."
The little boy was surprised, but still followed, but stopped when he reached the door.
Meng Qi asked him the same question, "What's your name?"
"Me? Name? I don't have a name, only a code name. My name is 256. Sister, I just look scary, but I'm not a bad person. Please...please don't be afraid."
Code name? When Meng Lu heard these two words, he immediately thought that someone might be using children for experiments!
"The first time I met you, you suddenly appeared, and anyone would be scared, but after talking to you for a word or two, I didn't feel scared anymore. Come in and talk, otherwise people will think I'm scolding you." Then Meng Lu stood aside and invited him in.
The little boy was still very reserved, standing in the living room without looking around.
"Why did you find this place?"
"Sister, it was my brother who saved us and put us up in the underground garage. He gave us a room. I saw someone delivering food through the garage window, so I looked over. I didn't expect it was my brother's house, so I thought he was home and knocked on the door without permission. I didn't mean to disturb you, sister. I'm sorry."
The little boy bowed.
What a polite child! Meng Lu suddenly thought of Luo Jia and Xiao Ying, who were also such polite boys.
"We? Do you have other companions?"
The little boy nodded, "Yes, we were all rescued by our brother."
Adrian is a pretty good person. Meng Lu asked the little boy some questions and found out that he had done so many good things.
The little boys have lived in a laboratory since they could remember. There were many people in white clothes in the laboratory, who often used them for research. A rich man did not want his life to end like this, and he had endless money at home. It was a pity, so he asked people to study the method of immortality. He started with experiments on children, and would look for adult orcs after he found results.
The previous mayor knew all of this, so cases of missing children often occurred in City D, but because Rose Star had not yet been unified, no one could solve the problem.
However, Adrian not only saved them all, but also did many things that went against the old mayor's orders, which is why he was not valued.
This was too pitiful. Meng Lu bent down and gently stroked his head, but he didn't dare touch the place where half of his face was missing, for fear of hurting him.
"Can I see your companions?"
The little boy smiled happily, and the injured half of his face made his smile even more frightening.
"Sure, we believe in what Brother Adrian believes in."
