"Hmm?" Zhang Moyan asked as he stepped onto the third floor.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Xingyu followed her gaze and saw a man standing at the door of Zhang Moyan's house, lowering his head to press the door lock.
"Xueyang?" Zhang Moyan recognized him immediately and walked over. "Why are you here?"
Jin Xueyang turned around and saw Zhang Moyan's eyes light up: "You're not home? I was wondering why there was no one answering the doorbell after ringing it for so long!"
Zhang Moyan was about to speak when a gloomy voice suddenly sounded from behind her: "Reporter Jin, why are you visiting your female colleague so late at night?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xingyu also walked up the stairs, and Gao Zhi's figure blocked half of the aisle lighting.
"Oh, Teacher Xiao is there too," Jin Xueyang was slightly surprised, then explained without noticing anything unusual, "The labor union at our company distributed cool relief supplies to Xia this afternoon, but Mo Yan didn't deliver them to her before I arrived. Something happened to her in the evening, so it's been delayed until now."
Zhang Moyan added, "I've resigned. Today is my last day. I won't be going to the company anymore."
Xiao Xingyu: "You found a better job? Why didn't I hear you say that just now? I should celebrate for you!"
Zhang Moyan said awkwardly, "No, no, I haven't found a new job yet. I'll just rest for a while." She turned to Jin Xueyang and said, "Is there still a share for me even after I leave?"
"It just so happens that it was distributed today. If you come to work today, of course you will get a share."
"So that's how it is." Xiao Xingyu still examined Jin Xueyang like a police dog.
Zhang Moyan knew what Xiao Xingyu was thinking at a glance and felt a little anxious about his indiscriminate defense, but it did seem a bit abnormal for Jin Xueyang, as a man, to show up at her doorstep so late. She thought the best thing to do now was to send Jin Xueyang away quickly.
Well, that's right. Between taking care of Jin Xueyang and Xiao Xingyu's emotions, she seemed to choose the latter intuitively.
"Xueyang, thank you. Give me the things!" Zhang Moyan reached out to take the gifts from Jin Xueyang's hand, her tone full of farewell.
Jin Xueyang handed her a pack of shampoo, medicated oil, and floral water. His eyes fell on the white rose in her hand. After a moment's glance, he turned to Xiao Xingyu and said, "I knew it was impossible for Teacher Xiao to be just an ordinary neighbor with you."
"Ordinary neighbor?" Xiao Xingyu became suspicious.
Zhang Moyan almost dropped the thing in his hand.
Jin Xueyang had once asked her if Xiao Xingyu had taken any action towards her since he moved in, and she had said that Xiao Xingyu had done nothing, like an ordinary neighbor, at most greeting her when they met. Now, he and Xiao Xingyu appeared together, holding white roses. This was truly contradictory and she was at a loss for words.
"Why are you standing there? Come in!" Jin Xueyang glanced at Zhang Moyan in confusion, and pressed a few familiar fingers on the door lock of Zhang Moyan. With a clever unlocking sound, the door of Zhang Moyan's house opened.
The door opened...
For the first time, Zhang Moyan had the illusion that she had been caught in an adultery. Her first reaction was to look at Xiao Xingyu, and then she saw Xiao Xingyu's brows draw together. Instantly, a terrifying silence enveloped the small corridor.
Zhang Moyan was sweating profusely and silently complained: Jin Xueyang, what are you doing!
But Jin Xueyang still looked naive, and it was not until Zhang Moyan's face completely showed the look of a big enemy that he put away the smile on his lips.
The air was frozen for a moment. Xiao Xingyu raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Reporter Jin also knows the unlocking code of your house?"
Zhang Moyan couldn't help feeling guilty: "This..."
"Of course I remember. The password is my birthday." Jin Xueyang said in a loud voice.
Zhang Moyan almost vomited blood, and instantly realized what it meant to be unable to wash away the guilt even if you jumped into the Yellow River.
She suppressed her inner panic and quickly explained to Xiao Xingyu: "This is because the door lock was broken when you were here last time. I went to Ruzhou with you and asked Xueyang to find someone to repair the lock. After the repair, the worker asked us to reset the password, and Xueyang set his own birthday."
Zhang Moyan winked at Jin Xueyang, who immediately said, "Yes, I've been using this password ever since, and I haven't changed it."
Zhang Moyan's mind went boom, and she was shocked. Jin Xueyang was really amazing today. How could he open his mouth when there was a misunderstanding? He was really messing with his mentality...
Xiao Xingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, with a subtle sternness on his face. His icy gaze swept back and forth between Zhang Moyan and Jin Xueyang several times, as if he regarded Jin Xueyang's words and actions as a provocation from Xiong Jing.
Zhang Moyan held his forehead with his hand, feeling uneasy.
At this moment, with a "click", the door behind Xiao Xingyu opened. A cute little white cat with Xiaowa's head leaned out and said happily, "Brother Yu! I knew you were back when I heard voices outside! Hey, and sister-in-law, Brother Yu? Why are you standing there?"
The air suddenly became even quieter due to the irrelevant questions. After 10 seconds, even the Rain God noticed something was wrong and meowed in confusion.
This childish meow broke the stillness. Xiao Xingyu finally moved, glanced at the cat, and asked Xiaowa, "Did the cat eat the ostrich meat I bought?"
"Ah? Ostrich meat?" Xiao Wa looked around as if he had been hit in the sore spot. "No, no."
Xiao Xingyu sighed and shook his head: "All he does every day is mix cat food. If this cat becomes stunted, Xiao Huai will have to complain to my dad again!"
He turned around, took Zhang Moyan's hand, and stuffed a bunch of keys into her palm. He said as if Liu Bei was entrusting an orphan to someone else, "Xiao Wa, you are too careless. I'm sorry to bother you with feeding the cats when you have time recently. These are the keys to my house. Do you understand me?"
Zhang Moyan had been completely unprepared for this sudden turn of events. Bewildered, she was about to decline when Xiao Xingyu turned around and gave Jin Xueyang a kindly smile. The hand holding the bag hooked around Jin Xueyang's neck and dragged him toward her. "Reporter Jin, let me explain about that 'ordinary neighbor' just now. When Moyan first learned I lived across the street, I planned to take a gradual approach. But then I realized a suitor should act like one, so I adjusted my stance. I can't explain my entire emotional journey in a few words. Reporter Jin, why don't you come in and sit down? I'll explain it in detail."
"Huh?" Jin Xueyang was unable to react and was pulled all over the place. "Teacher Xiao, this is not necessary..."
Zhang Moyan looked at Jin Xueyang, who seemed to be being held captive by a chokehold, and thought it was absurd but also a little funny.
