Shen Qingnian turned around and closed the door, but felt a little awkward sitting in the living room.
He longed to escape back to his bedroom. He had preferred the living room before because he was living alone now, so it didn't matter where he was.
But now that a stranger has come to his house, he desperately wants to escape. But if he runs back to his bedroom, what will happen...?
…
When Wan Ge came out, there was no one in the living room. Looking at the closed door, she knew without a doubt where the other person was.
Wan Ge didn't mind. The fact that the other party opened the door for him was something that others couldn't have.
If it weren't for his soul's familiarity with her, she might already be someone he would reject.
After calling out politely twice but receiving no response, Wan Ge took a pen and paper, wrote a message for him, and left.
…
Only after the door slammed shut did Shen Qingnian slowly open the bedroom door, peeking through a crack to make sure the other person was really gone before he went into the living room.
He saw a note left by the girl in the living room, saying that she hadn't seen him, so she left first, and thanked him for letting her in to take a shower.
Shen Qingnian gently gripped the note with her fingertips, thinking of that girl from earlier, and for some reason felt particularly uneasy.
This unease seems somewhat different from the unease I felt when I encountered strangers before.
Shen Qingnian had never imagined what his neighbors would be like, because he would never take the initiative to get to know them. This was the first time he had met his neighbors in the three years since he moved in.
Thinking of the girl who gave her a faint smile and complimented her on her looks, Shen Qingnian couldn't help but blush again.
However, he was soon disappointed again. The other person had only come to borrow the bathroom, and they hadn't had any contact for three years, nor would they ever have any contact again.
That's fine...
He clearly didn't want to have any contact with anyone, but for some reason, the thought that he would never meet that girl who gave him a gentle smile and spoke softly again made Shen Qingnian feel a pang of sadness.
…
Two days have passed, and Shen Qingnian still seems to have not forgotten the other person. Perhaps it is because she has not seen anyone for too long that she cannot forget him.
Shen Qingnian's beautiful eyes held a disappointment he himself was unaware of. His gaze finally fell on the door, but he quickly looked away.
But at that very moment, the door seemed to sense something and knocked again. "Hello, are you home?"
Shen Qingnian heard a somewhat familiar voice, and after some hesitation, she opened the door again.
Wan Ge looked at the boy in front of her, still wearing a gentle smile, and holding a particularly large box in her hand.
Wan Ge spoke softly, "I don't have to work today, so I researched a few dishes and some pastries. I wanted to invite you to try them and also to thank you for your help last time."
"You're welcome." Shen Qingnian's voice trembled slightly as she spoke, and her fingertips also shook uncontrollably.
But the girl seemed oblivious, and said in a soft voice, "By the way, I still don't know your name. My name is Wange."
“Shen… Shen Qingnian…” the boy answered softly again, his voice sounding even more nervous.
Wan Ge spoke again, "What a gentle name. Mr. Shen, please try it."
Wan Ge entered his house so naturally and then opened the box in her hand.
