In the evening, the family was having dinner when the phone suddenly rang.
That was installed for Gu Shicai's convenience.
After the person on the other end of the phone said something, Gu Shi's expression suddenly turned very ugly, and he only said "I understand".
After hanging up the phone, he ate only a few bites of food, put on his coat, and headed out.
"You all get some rest early tonight, Qingyu, you don't need to wait for me!"
After saying that, he hurriedly ran out. Lin Qingyu called out anxiously, "We haven't eaten yet! Bring me a steamed bun!"
"I'm not eating anymore!"
As soon as Gu Shi finished speaking, the door slammed shut, and it was unclear what had happened.
Lin Qingyu sat back down in her chair and muttered to herself, "I haven't even eaten two bites yet, and I'm already so busy!"
Zhao Xiaobao, holding the bowl, reassured her, "Uncle's business is big, and he is indeed very busy, but he is definitely busy with business matters, so Aunt, you don't need to worry."
I don't know when it started, but Zhao Xiaobao is no longer as cute as before.
Lin Qingyu didn't understand the deeper meaning in his words, and just smiled and said, "That's true, our family's improved life is basically all thanks to your uncle!"
Zhao Xiaobao picked up a piece of meat with a blank expression, and was about to put it in his mouth when he saw that Lin Qingyu didn't understand, so he said bluntly.
“I mean, my uncle isn’t messing around outside. I can tell. Aunt, you don’t need to worry about that.”
After saying that, he ate the piece of meat, chewing it slowly without showing any embarrassment.
Lin Qingyu's face turned bright red, her mouth agape: "I... well..."
Unable to speak, Zhao Xiaobao delivered an even more outrageous blow.
"You two just had sex this afternoon, right? Now you should believe me!"
Lin Qingyu could barely lift her head. What was wrong with Zhao Xiaobao these days?
Fortunately, he finished eating and went back to his room to study, otherwise Lin Qingyu wouldn't know how to face him.
No, it's that I'll never be able to face Zhao Xiaobao again; he'll be able to tell!
What will happen to her and Gu Shi in the future?
Lin Qingyu brainwashed herself: I don't know, I don't know, I don't know...
It was as if this would make her forget what Zhao Xiaobao had said today.
After quickly finishing her meal, Lin Qingyu tidied up the kitchen, washed up, and then hid in her bedroom, not coming out again.
Gu Shi returned home in the middle of the night, to be precise, at three in the morning.
Afraid of waking Lin Qingyu, he simply went to the water room outside to wash up.
This water room is exclusive to Gate 01, while Gates 02 and 03 share one, so their rooms are more expensive than the other two.
The washroom not only has a washing area, but also a toilet and a shower, which is very convenient.
It was still completely dark when the lights in the water room came on.
Jiang Lili, who was getting up to use the restroom, saw this scene and, as if possessed, walked over.
I paused briefly as I passed the entrance to room 201, then relaxed and walked to the water room entrance.
When Gu Shi went in, he didn't lock the door. A gust of wind blew in and pushed the door all the way open.
Jiang Lili stood openly at the door, her eyes fixed on the bathroom door where the sound of water was coming from.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of water stopped.
Jiang Lili pretended to have just arrived and looked at Gu Shi in surprise.
She had thought that Gu Shi would be completely naked, but to her surprise, he was fully covered up and had already changed into clean clothes.
"What's up?"
Gu Shi's expression was not good. In the middle of the night, what kind of nice woman would be standing at the door of someone else's bathroom?
Jiang Lili pulled her hands up to her collar to block out some of the cold wind. "I saw the light on in your bathroom and thought you'd forgotten to turn it off. I'm sorry to bother you."
Her eyes didn't wander, and she left as soon as she finished speaking, completely different from the person who had been standing there with a dazed expression just moments before.
After the person left, Gu Shi locked the door immediately.
She didn't slam the door shut, but the sound of the lock clicking shut still clearly reached Jiang Lili's ears.
The night is so quiet that any sound can be amplified infinitely.
This incident was originally just a minor episode in Gu Shi's life, but unexpectedly, the two met again just a few days later.
That afternoon, Gu Shi happened to be home and was rummaging through his things when he suddenly heard a very quiet knock on the door.
Knock knock knock!
Gu Shi frowned and impatiently opened an iron gate, seeing through the gaps in the iron fence that the person who came in was Jiang Lili.
"What's up?"
The same impatience, the same tone—this was the second time Jiang Lili had heard it from Gu Shi.
She waved the letter in her hand, tilting her head back to speak to Gu Shidao because she was rather short.
"This was given to me by the gatekeeper today. He said our two houses are next to each other, so he asked me to bring it up for you."
Gu Shi said expressionlessly, "Thank you."
They showed no intention of letting her in, but Jiang Lili wasn't angry; she just held up the letter.
"There are several restaurants here, I haven't found one yet, won't you let me in and have a seat?"
Despite his clear purpose, Gu Shi still found it annoying and made no move to open the door.
Jiang Lili then changed her mind and said, "Never mind, I'll go home and look for it. I'll come over when Qingyu is here."
After saying that, he made a move to leave. Gu Shi didn't like Lin Qingyu getting close to him, so he unlocked the door and said to her.
"Come in!"
Although the man impatiently let Jiang Lili into the house, he didn't rush to lock the door. Instead, he found a stool and used it to block the door, leaving it wide open.
It was during working hours, and most of the residents in the neighborhood who worked were not home. The elderly were taking a nap, so almost no one would notice this place.
There was a door wide open, and inside the room were two strange men and women.
Jiang Lili sat on the separate sofa as if they were old friends, which made Gu Shi very unhappy.
That was Lin Qingyu's favorite spot; she liked to sit there and tinker with her things.
For example, the sweater he knitted for Gu Shi, the cotton shoes he made for Zhao Xiaobao, and the clothes he tailored for Lin Weidong.
In short, that was practically her exclusive seat.
Gu Shi said directly, "Don't sit there."
Jiang Lili was rummaging through the letters on the coffee table when she heard this. She simply looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong here?"
"It's nothing, you sit here."
Gu Shi pointed at the sofa with one finger and said to Jiang Lili with a cold expression, showing no intention of sitting down or looking for the letter.
When the other party brought it up a second time, Jiang Lili simply got up, casually flipped through the pages, found the only letter, and handed it to Gu Shi with both hands.
"Look, this should be a letter Wei Dong sent to you!"
Gu Shi stiffly accepted it and said thank you again.
Jiang Lili laughed instead: "You're really funny, hahaha!"
She didn't linger and went straight home.
Gu Shi held the letter in his hand, closed the door, and then surprisingly picked up a bottle of alcohol.
Fortunately, it stopped a second before it was sprayed out.
This is a letter written in black and white; if you spray it like this, you probably won't be able to see anything.
