Zheng Yibai and Xu Yi followed the road all the way to the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was very flat, and a red-roofed villa suddenly appeared in front of them.
Zheng Yibai opened his mouth in surprise. "That guy surnamed Lu is just a cake shop owner, how could he live in such a luxurious villa?"
Xu Yi was also full of doubts.
The two approached the villa and found that the door was not locked, so they knocked cautiously.
Soon a clear female voice came from the villa.
"Who is it?"
Xu Ying was watching a soap opera when she heard the doorbell ring. "Alu, go open the door."
Boss Lu came out of the kitchen, walked to the door and opened it:
"It's you? Why are you here suddenly?"
Boss Lu's voice was not enthusiastic.
Zheng Yibai hurriedly explained: "We just happened to pass by. We heard that you lived here last time, so we came to see you. We have no ill intentions."
After hearing the explanation, Boss Lu glanced at Xu Yi and smiled after a moment. "Since you're here, why don't you stay for dinner? I'm making lunch."
Somehow, Xu Yi felt vaguely uneasy, but seeing Zheng Yibai's relaxed look, she had no choice but to follow him into the room.
After entering the room, Zheng Yibai and Xu Yi looked around curiously.
The room was decorated extremely luxuriously, with many strange paintings hanging on the walls, like some kind of ancient totems, and formations were arranged in the four corners of the hall.
As soon as you enter the living room, a cool and refreshing feeling hits you.
When Xu Ying saw the two people come in, she just glanced at them without saying hello and continued watching the soap opera.
"Hello, Miss Xu, sorry to bother you." Zheng Yibai took the initiative to greet her.
"You know you're disturbing us, but you still come to disturb us." Xu Ying's voice was still cold, and it sounded like she didn't like the two people's arrival.
Seeing that Zheng Yibai's face was not right, Boss Lu quickly spoke out to stop him, "Yingying..."
Xu Ying frowned, stood up, threw away the pillow, and walked upstairs, "Okay, okay, I'm so annoyed. I'll go upstairs and take a look. Don't call me later."
Boss Lu shook his head helplessly and said to Xu Yi, "Ms. Xu, Mr. Zheng, don't mind. Yingying is just like that. She doesn't like strangers coming. You guys take a seat first. I'll go cook and we'll be eating soon."
"Sorry for the trouble, Boss Lu." Zheng Yibai and Xu Yi both nodded.
Zheng Yibai asked politely, "By the way, Boss Lu, can I use your restroom?"
"Sure, just turn right, please feel free to do so." Boss Lu said gently.
Zheng Yibai exchanged glances with Xu Yi and went to the bathroom.
Boss Lu exchanged a few words with Xu Yi and then went into the kitchen.
Zheng Yibai seemed to have forgotten the actual location of the bathroom. He walked all the way to the corridor, opened every room, went in, took a look around, and quickly walked out.
He glanced at Boss Lu who was busy in the kitchen, looked around, and didn't find anything unusual.
When he came out of the bathroom, he heard a ding-dong from his WeChat. It was a message from Xu Yi: "See if there's a basement."
Zheng Yibai looked at the stairs extending downwards next to the bathroom and walked down.
Walking down the stairs, the feeling of coldness became more and more obvious, as if the air conditioner was turned on and blew directly on him, giving him goose bumps.
"Why is this basement so cold? Weird."
As soon as Zheng Yibai walked into the basement, Boss Lu came out of the kitchen carrying dishes, and Xu Yi also stood up to help set the table.
“Boss Lu, you live in such a big house and cook for yourself, why don’t you hire an aunt to make things easier for you.”
Boss Lu smiled gently, "Yingying doesn't like outsiders around, so we didn't hire an aunt. I don't do it often, so it's okay.
Where's your friend? Invite him to dinner."
Xu Yi also smiled, "He went to the bathroom and will be back soon. Miss Xu, don't you want to eat?"
"She doesn't eat. She loves beauty and has been trying to lose weight recently." Boss Lu said, and turned around to serve the dishes.
Seeing Boss Lu turn around and go into the kitchen, Xu Yi shouted towards the bathroom: "Zheng Yibai, it's time to eat."
He sent a message to Zheng Yibai on his cell phone: Come out quickly.
At this time, Zheng Yibai was about to open the basement door when he heard Xu Yi's shout and received Xu Yi's message. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but open the basement door and take a look.
The door creaked open, and in the middle of the basement stood a huge coffin.
He was about to go in and take a closer look when a cold voice came from behind him, "What are you looking at?"
Zheng Yibai's heart skipped a beat. He withdrew his hand that was about to open the basement door, and with a smile on his face, he slowly turned his head.
"It's Miss Xu. How come you walked without making any sound? You scared me. I took the wrong road and was about to go back to the living room. I don't know how I ended up here."
Xu Ying looked at him coldly, her tone somewhat impolite, and stepped forward to lock the basement door. "The living room is this way, please come this way. Didn't your family teach you not to look around in other people's homes?"
Zheng Yibai apologized carefully, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I'm just a natural directionally challenged person and got confused. I thought this place led to the living room. I'm sorry."
Follow Xu Ying and walk out of the basement.
In the dining room, Boss Lu and Xu Yi had just set the table. When they saw the two men coming, their faces were full of smiles.
Boss Lu pulled out a chair for Xu Ying and said, "I was just saying, let's eat. Yingying, please sit down. Mr. Zheng, please sit down too. Let's eat."
"You are so careless. Everyone else has gone to the basement, but you are still here cooking for them."
Xu Ying picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork ribs, put it in her mouth and chewed slowly while speaking.
Unexpectedly, Xu Ying would bring this up in person. Zheng Yibai smiled sheepishly, "Boss Lu, I'm sorry. I'm directionally challenged. After using the restroom, I couldn't find the way and ended up in the basement. Luckily, Miss Xu brought me out, otherwise I wouldn't know how to get out."
"It's okay, Mr. Zheng, you didn't mean it. Let's eat." Boss Lu smiled generously, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Xu Yi also quickly apologized.
"It's okay, let's eat, it's not a big deal." Boss Lu didn't seem to take it to heart.
The meal was eaten in such silence that you could hear a pin drop.
After eating a little, seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Xu Yi and Zheng Yibai stood up and said goodbye.
Xu Yi said a few polite words, "Thank you for your hospitality, Boss Lu. Come to my rented house for dinner when you have time."
"Okay, when?" Boss Lu seemed quite interested.
"Well, school is about to start, how about next weekend?" Xu Yi didn't expect that Boss Lu would want to go.
"Okay, then next weekend." Boss Lu said with a gentle expression.
Xu Yi nodded, "See you next weekend then."
"Thank you, Boss Lu, goodbye." Zheng Yibai also said.
After saying goodbye to Boss Lu, the two of them left the villa directly.
Xu Ying sat on the sofa on the side without saying a word. She glanced at Xu Yi who was leaving and turned her head away with contempt.
"Alu, this woman is very dangerous. You can't get involved with her."
Hearing this, the smile on Boss Lu's face instantly disappeared, "I know."
