Lu Qing's paycheck wasn't much; he spent most of it on himself, mostly on luxury goods. He was convinced he would become a superstar, so he didn't hesitate to spend money on himself.
He didn't buy much; a single travel bag contained all his belongings.
At 9 p.m., Lu Yao came and knocked on the door.
Looking through the peephole, Lu Qing confirmed that it was Lu Yao standing outside before daring to pick up her bag and quietly open the door. Lu Yao immediately urged her to leave quickly. After locking the door, Lu Qing picked up her travel bag and went out with Lu Yao. When they got downstairs, she discovered that Lu Yao had actually borrowed a motorcycle.
The two got on the motorcycle road and sped off, taking Lu Qing to a mid-range residential area.
Lu Yao said something to the community security guard and then pulled Lu Qing into the community together. After the motorboat was put away, Lu Yao took care of Lu Qing and followed her upstairs.
Lu Qing couldn't help but ask, "How do you know this friend? This place is quite far from your school."
Lu Yao said expressionlessly, "We met at the Hai City Library. I ran into him once when I was looking for a book. We both like to read science and technology books."
Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. People who could go to the library to read in peace were at least not the kind of shady characters.
But he didn't realize that Lu Yao was lying. This guy always liked to gamble, especially when he was in a bad mood.
When he was in the village, he was the most outstanding young man of his generation, so he always had a high opinion of himself.
But once he got to maritime school, his sense of superiority was completely shattered.
He was one of the least popular people in Haishi, known as a little rascal by others.
He was in a worse mood than ever before. By chance, he ran into Qin Hai and Wang Ming, a group of people who loved to gamble and would gamble two or three times a week.
When Lu Yao was in a bad mood, he would come to them to gamble, and over time these people became familiar with him.
If Lu Yang knew about this, he would immediately realize that the person who was crippled by Lu Yao in his previous life was Qin Hai, and the person who called the police to arrest Lu Yao was Wang Ming.
But Lu Qing had no idea about this. She thought she was finally free from being watched and scolded all the time and had finally found a quiet place to hide.
Lu Yao naturally took out his key and opened Qin Hai's door.
Lu Qing asked softly, "Is this family not home? Who are they?"
Lu Yao calmly said, "He's my friend. He lives with his mother and his sister, the three of them."
Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and went inside with Lu Yao.
As the two were talking, they heard footsteps outside.
Lu Qing was startled and quickly ran to the second bedroom with her luggage. She entered the second bedroom and closed the door.
Just then, the front door opened, and Qin Hai was taken aback when he saw Lu Yao.
"I thought you weren't coming this month."
Lu Yao walked up to him, grabbed him, dragged him outside, and then closed the door.
He briefly explained Lu Qing's situation and asked Qin Hai to take Lu Qing in for a while.
Qin Hai thought about it and felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had a hard time supporting himself, let alone Lu Qing.
He said somewhat unhappily, "I'm barely making ends meet, where would I get the extra money to support another person? Can't you let her stay in a guesthouse?"
Lu Yao said in a low voice, "Given her current situation, she'll be discovered staying in a guesthouse within two days, and then people will start pointing fingers at her."
"Why don't you just consider it renting the house to her, and I'll give you a dollar a day for rent?"
Qin Hai thought about it and realized that 30 yuan a month wasn't too difficult to support a family.
Thinking this, he nodded and said, "If she weren't your sister, I definitely wouldn't have taken her in. We've agreed that I'll only take her in for a maximum of two months."
Lu Yao nodded. Two months would be enough. Once things calmed down, Lu Qing could go out and find a job. It would be better than going back to the county.
After the two entered the house, Lu Yao knocked on the door of the second bedroom and called Lu Qing out.
Qin Hai was still sitting on the sofa, completely unperturbed.
But upon seeing Lu Qing, his eyes immediately narrowed.
To become a good actress, Lu Qing worked hard to learn makeup and dressing up, and even dieted to lose weight, so she looks great.
Although she looked a little haggard, she was much prettier than the average girl.
Qin Hai suddenly regretted saying that he would only take Lu Qing in for two months at most.
It would be good if Lu Qing could stay. Although this woman is very immoral, she is beautiful.
As a fellow man, how could Lu Yao not see through Qin Hai's intentions? But he had nowhere else to put Lu Qing.
After thinking it over, he urged Lu Qing, "Go make something to eat, neither of us has had dinner yet."
Lu Qing was somewhat reluctant. Although she grew up in the village, she had always been spoiled and never lifted a finger at home.
But now that she's living under someone else's roof, she can only silently go into the kitchen to cook noodles for them.
Qin Hai withdrew his gaze, his attitude towards Lu Yao becoming somewhat more amiable, and asked in a low voice, "When are you going to have fun? They're organizing a big event soon."
Lu Yao was short of money and said helplessly, "I still have to give you 30 yuan every month, where would I get the money to go out and have fun? Let's talk about it when we have more money."
Qin Hai shrugged, looking rather regretful: "If you don't want to go, that's fine. I'll go check it out tomorrow."
Lu Yao really wanted to gamble, he was itching to, but unfortunately he didn't have any money, so he could only hold back.
After finishing the noodles Lu Qing cooked, he hurriedly rode away on his motorcycle.
After washing the dishes in the kitchen, Lu Qing walked outside feeling extremely depressed.
As soon as she entered the living room, she saw Qin Hai sitting on the sofa setting up playing cards.
She tiptoed toward the second bedroom. Since it was just the two of them tonight, she certainly couldn't sleep in the master bedroom, and she didn't want to talk to Qin Hai either.
Throughout her life, any man she's had a flirtatious relationship with is better than Qin Hai; she doesn't even look at Qin Hai.
But Qin Hai clearly lacked this self-awareness. He put down his cards, walked a few steps to Lu Qing's side, and said with a smile, "I'll stay in the second bedroom."
Lu Qing felt a little embarrassed and asked him hesitantly, "Then where should I stay?"
Qin Hai pointed to the master bedroom next door and said, "You can stay in the master bedroom. My mom and my sister have always lived in the master bedroom. My sister got married, and my mom went to help him take care of his child. She won't be back for a while."
Lu Qing's eyelids twitched. She had originally thought that Qin Hai's mother and sister were only absent tonight.
But judging from Qin Hai's words, it seems that from now on, only she and Qin Hai will live in this house.
She felt a chill run down her spine, so she immediately went into the second bedroom, grabbed her luggage, rushed into the master bedroom, and quickly closed the door.
After thinking about it, she still felt a little unsafe, so she carefully moved the bedside table to the doorway to block it.
The family's door wasn't locked, and since it couldn't be locked from the inside, the only thing she could think of was blocking the door with something.
