Wang Feifei always felt that there was something strange about Xiao Liu.
During their initial meetings, Xiao Liu demonstrated strong professional skills. At the time, Wang Feifei only felt that he was quick-witted and reliable in his work.
However, after Xiao Liu got involved in the house purchase, Wang Feifei understood him less and less. Some of his words and actions, upon closer examination, were always full of contradictions.
For example, he rarely asks unnecessary questions, but judging from the way he gives the impression that every word Wang Feifei says is exactly what he expects.
It's not that he's particularly clever, but his ability to read people's minds is especially terrifying. It's best to just avoid someone like that.
The problem was that Wang Feifei, seeing how reliable he was, entrusted him with the task of buying a house as well, which led to them having more and more interactions.
What intrigued Wang Feifei was that she had no grudge against him. She had managed to avoid his visit to the hotel last time, but this time he was standing right at her doorstep. What did he want to do?
Since we can't avoid it, we can only deal with it as it comes.
Wang Feifei did not rush to open the door. She went to the main power switch first to turn off the elevator to ensure that he would not enter other storage spaces.
Then lock the door to the most crucial area, the "heart" where the battery packs are stored. This is the easiest place to be exposed, and it's crucial that he doesn't see it.
After doing all that, he slowly opened the door.
Xiao Liu waited outside the door for a long time, but there was no sign of displeasure on his face. On the contrary, he smiled at Wang Feifei very politely.
"Miss Wang, you don't recognize me, do you?"
As always, he was impeccably dressed and spoke politely and considerately.
"How could that be? Sorry to keep you waiting, please come in!"
After composing herself, Wang Feifei invited Xiao Liu into the house.
Upon entering, Xiao Liu's only expression of surprise was "just right":
"Ms. Wang is indeed a woman of action. She has moved into her new home in just over half a month! The house is decorated very nicely and is very cozy."
Xiao Liu sat down on the sofa in the living room, his eyes merely glancing around politely.
The cow may have sensed danger; it darted into a corner before he entered, lying in the darkness and watching the stranger's every move.
Wang Feifei explained with a smile, "It's really inconvenient to stay in a hotel, so I kept an eye on the workers to finish the renovation as soon as possible. You can see that many places are still not finished."
"For example, upstairs and downstairs, it hasn't even started yet."
Xiao Liu pushed up his glasses and said in a mock-joking manner:
"To be honest, I didn't know which floor you lived on at first. I came up from the 26th floor."
"Last time I came there were floor signs, but this time there aren't, which made me search for ages. Luckily there's an elevator, otherwise I wouldn't know which floor I was on."
Xiao Liu and Wang Feifei exchanged a glance, then looked away.
Wang Feifei was startled: He had also been downstairs. Luckily, she hadn't sealed the door beforehand, otherwise he would have become suspicious.
Afraid that he would notice her nervousness, Wang Feifei smiled and got up to change the subject:
"I've been talking for so long, I forgot to pour you some tea. Please wait a moment."
After saying that, she went into the kitchen and calmed down while making tea.
When she returned to the living room with the tea, Xiao Liu was gone!
In a panic, Wang Feifei looked around and found him by the elevator.
After being discovered, he showed no sign of surprise; instead, he happily exclaimed, "You even have an elevator in your house? That's so advanced, hehehe..."
Wang Feifei felt a chill run down her spine. Luckily, she had turned off the elevator power in advance; otherwise, he might have already gone to another floor.
“The other floors are still unfinished, and the elevator is just an empty shell; you can’t go in. Xiao Liu, stop looking around and come have some water.” Wang Feifei led Xiao Liu back to the sofa.
Just as she was about to sit down, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to close the door to the indoor growing equipment room!
Suddenly, the cow meowed and darted out from the corner, heading straight into the indoor planting room.
Wang Feifei realized what was happening, quickly ran over, closed the door, locked it, and put the key in her pocket.
"Ms. Wang, you also keep a cat? Aren't you afraid to lock it in the room?"
As Xiao Liu spoke, he peeked over, clearly showing interest in the room.
“My cat is afraid of strangers, so I lock it up whenever someone comes to my house. I’m so sorry to have startled you.”
“I also really like cats, can I go see it?” Xiao Liu said with a smile.
“That won’t do. It scratched my best friend’s face last time and she had to get five rabies shots. It has a terrible temper, so let’s just forget about it.”
"But..." Xiao Liu was about to speak when Wang Feifei interrupted him.
After several exchanges, Wang Feifei was in a passive position, so she decided to take the initiative.
As she refilled Xiao Liu's tea, she asked, half-jokingly:
"Xiao Liu, you seem quite interested in my family?"
Xiao Liu lowered his eyes, took a sip of tea, and perfectly concealed his expression:
"No, no, I just have this habit with my clients. I'll make time to visit them later to maintain our relationship."
Xiao Liu sensed the other person's displeasure and quickly apologized:
"I apologize for being abrupt tonight!"
"It's nothing, I owe you a lot for buying the house! It's just that my boyfriend doesn't really like women coming over, thankfully he's not home today..."
Wang Feifei deliberately brought up a fictional man, hoping to make Xiao Liu wary and also to make it easier to ask him to leave.
Xiao Liu understood the implication, put down his teacup, and said, "I'm sorry to have bothered you for so long, I should go home now."
Wang Feifei breathed a sigh of relief and got up to escort Xiao Liu to the entrance.
As soon as Xiao Liu stepped out of the door, he suddenly laughed and said, "I remember this house used to have many floor-to-ceiling windows, but now there's only one left."
He glanced back at Wang Feifei:
"What, Ms. Wang, do you have a fear of heights?"
Wang Feifei was shocked; he had noticed this detail!
She tried to remain calm: "Yes, you know my old apartment was on the third floor. It's really not used to moving to the 28th floor."
Xiao Liu chuckled: "Hehe, sealing off the windows is one way."
"And it keeps you warmer, doesn't it?"
Wang Feifei froze on the spot.
What does he mean...?
Without waiting for her reply, Xiao Liu left, saying, "Ms. Wang, thank you for your hospitality! Until we meet again!"
Wang Feifei was terrified. She quickly closed the door and leaned against it, unable to calm down for a long time...
Xiao Liu must know something!
That night, Wang Feifei had a terrifying dream. In the dream, she entered Xiao Liu's dream and experienced a life in an extremely cold apocalyptic world.
Terrified to the extreme, I woke up in a panic...
Is Xiao Liu also a reincarnated person?
The cow in her arms stared into her eyes in the darkness, its pupils wide open, its eyes enormous, as if it could see through everything.
Is it not an ordinary cat?
