Lan Xuegui talked it over and finally put her mother's worries to rest.
When she finished taking a shower and was about to blow-dry her hair, she picked up her phone and saw a WeChat message from Lan Chunrou.
After reading the message, she held the phone tightly. It turned out that the reason why Cai Xingzhong's son came to trouble her was because she told him the whereabouts.
But from what she saw on Lan Chunrou's WeChat, Cai Xingzhong seemed not to have returned home since last night, and his house seemed to have been sealed off by the police.
His son got the news from somewhere and found out that the last person his father saw was her. He thought she was the one who did it, so he went to his grandmother's house to make trouble for her.
Unexpectedly, he was bumped into by Lan Chunrou, who helped him.
However, Lan Chunrou didn't seem to know that Cai Xingzhong's son had been taken to the police station. She probably sent this message to her just to scare her.
Lan Xuegui sneered and did not reply.
On the other side, Lan Chunrou didn't receive a reply from Lan Xuegui. She thought she was frightened and laughed out loud while lying on the bed.
After a while, she seemed to have thought of something, picked up her phone, found a person in her address book, and sent a message to that person.
Lan Xuegui's sleepiness disappeared because of this message and what her grandmother and mother said that night. She felt inexplicably irritated.
So he decided to go for a walk along the river, take a break, and think about what to do about Qin Qiushi's suggestion that she would move in with him.
The summer evening was still a little hot. Tall trees stood on both sides of the river, making faint rustling sounds. The breeze blew through Lan Xuegui's hair.
"Did you see that handsome guy just now?"
"I saw it, so handsome!!"
When the two girls passed by Lan Xuegui, the sound of their conversation went straight into her ears. She smiled. It turned out that everyone likes to look at handsome guys.
Gradually, several more pedestrians passed by her and expressed the same sentiment, which aroused Lan Xuegui's curiosity and she couldn't help but walk towards the place they were talking about.
When she saw the car with a familiar license plate number parked on the side of the road, she was stunned.
Why hasn't Mr. Qin gone home yet so late?
She stood there, hesitating whether to go and say hello?
"Mr. Qin."
Lan Xuegui stood by the open car window and greeted Qin Qiushi softly, who was lowering his head, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Qin Qiushi suddenly heard a familiar voice, and when he looked up, he saw Lan Xuegui standing under the street light. Her head just blocked the street light, and a circle of warm yellow light surrounded her hair. Her watery eyes looked at him with a smile.
Suddenly a breeze blew by, gently lifting her hair and making it dance a few times in the air.
Qin Qiushi's heartbeat suddenly quickened. He suddenly came to his senses, put out the cigarette he hadn't smoked, and said in a hoarse voice, "Hmm."
The air fell into silence again. Lan Xuegui discovered that Qin Qiushi didn't really like talking, or maybe she didn't want to talk to him?
"That's the guy I was talking about! Isn't he handsome?"
“Ahhhh!”
There were a few girls standing not far behind Lan Xuegui, who would look in their direction from time to time and exclaim in surprise.
Qin Qiushi heard it, frowned, and said to Lan Xuegui: "Get in the car."
"OK."
Seeing Lan Xue return to the car, he rolled down the window to block the view of people outside.
The moment Lan Xuegui got in, Qin Qiushi suddenly smelled a faint lemon scent in the car, and his nose twitched slightly.
Lan Xuegui was originally wondering how to deal with his proposal to move in with him, but she didn't expect that now she would have an opportunity.
"Mr. Qin, regarding the move..."
"It's up to you." Lan Xuegui was interrupted by Qin Qiushi's cold voice before she could finish her words.
She turned her head to look at him. The lights in the car were not on at this time, only the dim light of the street lamps could be seen. However, she saw that his jaw was somewhat tense, and suddenly an absurd idea came to her mind.
Could it be that he wants me to move there?
But as soon as she had this idea, she quickly rejected it. It was impossible. They had only known each other for a few days. She didn't think she was that charming.
Lan Xuegui pursed her lips and continued, "Can I move in with you?"
After saying this, she pinched the hem of her clothes nervously, not daring to look at Qin Qiushi, for fear of hearing negative words.
The car was very quiet, so quiet that she could almost hear her own heartbeat, and at the same time, there was a faint scent of cedar wafting around her nose.
"Can."
"Really?" Lan Xuegui was a little surprised and asked in disbelief.
Qin Qiushi heard Lan Xuegui's questioning tone, and suddenly felt angry. Was he really that scary? He felt that he should do something.
So, he turned around abruptly, and moved his face close to Lan Xuegui, staring at her with his dark eyes motionlessly, "I never go back on my word."
When Lan Xuegui saw the handsome face that suddenly lit up in front of her, she was so nervous that she forgot to breathe.
She stared at Qin Qiu with fierce eyes, and her face seemed to feel the hot breath he exhaled. With a bang, she felt her cheeks instantly hot.
She even stuttered when she spoke, "Mr. Qin?"
When Qin Qiushi heard the little girl's nervous and frightened voice, he immediately wanted to tease her. He looked at her tightly bitten lips with his dark and deep eyes, and his low and magnetic voice rang out.
"Are you scared?"
“No, no.”
But she felt that the distance between them was a little close, as if something was... ambiguous, and she unconsciously stepped back.
Qin Qiushi saw this and also pressed on. Seeing that Lan Xuegui had nowhere to retreat, he said in a low voice, "Where else are you going to retreat to?"
Lan Xuegui couldn't help but turn her head away. She didn't dare to look into his ink-black eyes, as if she would be swallowed up by him if she looked at them for a few more seconds.
When Qin Qiushi saw her behavior, he thought she hated him, and the interest he had just aroused disappeared in an instant. He sat back in his seat, holding the steering wheel alone.
Hearing Lan Xuegui's gentle breathing, he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. Am I really that annoying?
She is like this, and so are her family members.
Lan Xuegui calmed down for a while and suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the car became a little depressing. She looked at Qin Qiushi without knowing why.
I saw the veins bulging on his face as he gripped the steering wheel. Could it be that he didn't like me coming over to disturb him?
She lowered her eyes to hide her emotions, and when she spoke again, her tone was calm, "Mr. Qin, if I moved in with you and disturbed you, I'm sorry, but I will pay you rent and utility bills every month from now on, and I won't disturb your life."
"No need to give it to me. Who do you think I am?"
As soon as Lan Xuegui finished speaking, Qin Qiushi retorted, "As a man, how could he care about that little money? Besides, he didn't lack that little money."
"That's not what I meant..."
Suddenly a phone call interrupted Lan Xuegui's speech.
