"Lin Yi knew that he only had this one chance. If he couldn't pass the information on this time, it would be even more difficult to wait for the next chance."
"He tried hard to control his shaking hands and took off the USB flash drive tied to his inner thigh. The moment the USB flash drive was inserted into the computer, his breathing became heavier for two seconds."
"In the dark room, there was only the dim white light of the computer and his rapid breathing. Lin Yi stared at the progress bar of the data loading, and beads of sweat slid down his forehead."
"bite--"
"The computer sounded a prompt that the data had been successfully imported."
"Lin Yi paused for a second, and the next second, he reached out and quickly typed on the keyboard."
"In the small private room, the only sound was the clacking of the keyboard. Codes quickly flashed across the screen. Lin Yi stared at the screen without blinking, and his breathing almost stopped."
"He didn't see that a tall figure stopped on the translucent frosted box door next to him."
“Dongdong——”
The knocking sound described by my pen seemed to overlap with reality for a moment.
Shi Jin paused for breath and stopped tapping his fingers.
It was as if the plot in the book was imprinted into reality, and the sounds in his ears seemed to disappear in an instant. Shi Jin could only hear his own shallow breathing.
“Dongdong——”
The knock on the door sounded again, slowly but surely.
Shi Jin was distracted, and vaguely associated the knock on the door with the man he met at the front desk.
He had only seen this lazy and casual energy in that man.
After calming himself down, Shi Jin stood up and opened the door.
"squeak--"
With the sound of the glass sliding door being pulled open, the door opened, revealing an empty corridor outside the private room.
...No one?
Shi Jin was stunned for a moment.
He walked out of the private room and looked at the empty corridor, hesitating.
When turning to walk in, Shi Jin lowered his eyes and inadvertently glanced at something that suddenly appeared in the corner of the door.
He paused in closing the door.
This is......
An unopened bottle of mineral water?
Was this bottle of mineral water there when he just came in?
Unable to get the answer he wanted from his memory, Shi Jin stood there for two seconds and closed the door.
The light coming from the private room was gradually blocked by the door. The bottle of mineral water stood quietly at the corner of the door, and the corridor fell into darkness again.
After an unknown amount of time, a piece of colorful trouser legs appeared at the corner of the corridor.
——
Yu Ci was still wondering on the way home.
Why did he run to someone else's private room and knock on the door today as if he was possessed?
Is it possible for him to do such a perverted and idiotic thing! ?
And is this person really the one who suddenly became timid when someone came to open the door, threw a bottle of water and ran away?
Yu Ci's eyebrows were almost wrinkled into a ball.
He knocked the book rolled into a tube in his hand against his head, confirming a fact again.
It turns out that he and his surname Shi do not agree.
It’s better not to get close.
Before I knew it, I had reached the upstairs.
Yu Ci took out a key from behind the fire hydrant at the door with ease and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, he raised an eyebrow.
Compared to its previous state of being unattended, the first floor now looks obviously brand new.
The white furniture was wiped clean and spotless. There were a few books on every table within reach, and even the floor seemed to have been mopped to the point of reflecting light.
It seems that the new tenant is a nerdy mysophobia guy.
The only flaw is probably the tightly drawn curtains in the living room.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows were completely covered by heavy curtains, and not a single ray of sunlight could come in from outside.
Hmm——
Yu Ci added, dragging his chin.
Maybe he's still a nerd who doesn't like to be in the spotlight.
However, since this floor has already been rented out, he has no right to interfere with how others use the room.
Yu Ci changed his shoes at the door and went up to the second floor.
——
Seven o'clock in the morning.
Driven by the biological clock, Shi Jin opened his eyes on time.
The sunlight was blocked outside the window by the curtains, and the room was quiet and dark.
He lay on the bed, habitually relaxing for a while.
After roughly thinking out the outline of the chapter he was going to write today, Shi Jin sat up and rubbed his forehead.
"Bang."
Shi Jin paused.
It has been some time since he moved in, but he has never seen the owner of the upstairs house.
Only a few times during the day when he was writing in his study would he hear the sound of the owner coming upstairs from the entrance.
Most of the time, the house was so quiet that it seemed as if he was the only one living there.
Shi Jin doesn't like to have too much interaction with strangers, and even less likes to take the initiative to approach them. I think the owner of the house is the same.
So they lived under the same roof for some time, but they never met each other.
Only now...
Shi Jin listened carefully and found that the sound came from the bathroom outside.
The design of this duplex suite is that the master bedroom is upstairs, so the bedroom downstairs does not have an independent bathroom. There is only one bathroom between the guest room and the study.
Maybe the bathroom upstairs is broken, so the owner came down here to use the toilet?
Shi Jin had no intention of going to see what was going on.
He got down from the bed and prepared to go to the study first, and then wash up when the bathroom was free.
The bedroom and study are in the same corridor, but one is at the beginning and the other at the end, and there is a guest room and bathroom in between.
Shi Jin walked towards the study room holding a glass of water.
As he passed the bathroom, he tilted his head for some reason.
It was also the moment when he tilted his head.
“Crack—”
The handle of the bathroom door was pressed, and the next second, the frosted glass door opened.
A stream of steaming hot air carrying the scent of shower gel rushed out the door impatiently.
Shi Jin closed his eyes.
After the heat passed, he opened his eyes and was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Her messy, slightly wet hair was casually draped over her forehead, her sharp eyebrows were slightly drooped, hiding the look in her eyes, her thick eyelashes were wet by the water, drooping limply, looking unexpectedly aggrieved.
The water droplets slid down the cheeks, passed by the sharp and undulating Adam's apple, stayed intimately at the collarbone for a while, and then slid down along the muscles in front of the chest.
Shi Jin's gaze followed the water droplets, passing by the man's strong chest, the undulating abdominal muscles around his waist, and finally stopped at the bath towel wrapped around his waist.
His gaze stopped on the bath towel, and his frozen brain began to restart.
Hmm...
This new homeowner seems to be in pretty good shape.
Compared to Shi Jin's reaction, Yu Ci was much calmer.
After a brief moment of daze, he took off the towel that was used to wipe his wet hair, put it on his shoulder, and raised his eyes: "So, my new tenant is you."
"Then let's get to know each other again." Yu Ci raised the corners of his mouth, his eyebrows and eyes were wanton, and he stretched out his hand to Shi Jin: "Yu Ci, your roommate."
Shi Jin stared at him quietly for a moment.
After a while, he stretched out his hand: "Hello, Shi Jin."
Two hands clasped in the air.
Feeling the cool touch of his palm, the smile in Yu Ci's eyes deepened.
"Well, please give me more advice in the future."
