Chapter 488 Zhang Yibin goes to Osmanthus Lane
Lu Yuanqiu just found out that this was something they had agreed on long ago.
After Liu Wangchun learned about Bai Qingxia's life experience, she had always wanted to come and see her. Coincidentally, the two of them were here today, so Bai Qingxia asked her to come directly.
While waiting, the two were not idle. Bai Qingxia opened the room that had not been occupied for five or six days, swept the floor, and washed the unused pots and pans. Lu Yuanqiu went to the small supermarket in the alley to buy vegetables and meat.
After buying them, Bai Qingxia began to prepare ingredients and cook like a virtuous housewife, while Lu Yuanqiu walked out of the alley to pick up Liu Wangchun who came over in a taxi.
"It turns out that the place I passed by during my morning jog is where Xia Xia has always lived." Liu Wangchun sighed as he walked beside Lu Yuanqiu.
Lu Yuanqiu turned his head: "How do you feel?"
Liu Wangchun lowered his head: "At that time, I was wondering how someone could live in here, and whether their life would be very inconvenient..."
Lu Yuanqiu put his hands in his pockets and said, "It's quite convenient to live here, but the inconvenience is that a girl needs to take care of her sick father, maintain normal food, clothing and shelter for both of them, and go to school every day."
Liu Wangchun lowered his head sadly.
In fact, Liu Wangchun was right to think so. After all, Lu Yuanqiu himself was thinking at the beginning, it is the 21st century, how could there still be students who would go to the supermarket for a few loaves of bread and do something that would have extremely serious consequences if they were discovered.
If it weren't for her father, Bai Qingxia would probably starve to death rather than do such a thing. However, she is older now and knows how to adapt. If she were the present her to travel back to that time, she would probably shamelessly ask neighbors for food instead of going to the supermarket with a fluke mentality.
No...she will still go to the supermarket because she already knows me, Lu Yuanqiu smiled in his heart with relief.
The two walked into the yard. Liu Wangchun kept looking around. When she went up the stairs, she looked up and soon saw a girl standing at the sink in the corner of the balcony washing dishes.
Bai Qingxia was still wearing the clothes she helped pick, and her back looked friendly and familiar, but the surrounding environment made Liu Wangchun feel extremely unfamiliar, making her feel that Bai Qingxia should not be a person living here.
"Xia Xia." Liu Wangchun shouted.
Bai Qingxia rolled up her sleeves to wash the dishes, turned around, and smiled when she saw Liu Wangchun: "Chunchun."
Lu Yuanqiu stepped forward and said, "Let me do it. It's so cold, why bother touching cold water? You take Liu Wangchun to the house to have a look and have a chat."
Bai Qingxia hesitated for a moment and said yes.
Lu Yuanqiu stood at the sink, carefully washing a bowl that Bai Qingxia had half washed. However, after washing for more than ten seconds, his hands were frozen by the cold water. He glanced at the pile of pots and pans that Bai Qingxia had already washed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and continued to insist on finishing washing the rest.
When he returned to the room, Lu Yuanqiu heard Liu Wangchun crying.
He walked behind the curtain and saw Liu Wangchun sitting beside Bai Qingxia's bed, crying with his head down, while Bai Qingxia was busy stroking his back to comfort him.
Seeing Lu Yuanqiu coming, Bai Qingxia turned around and looked at him for help.
Lu Yuanqiu mouthed: Just let her cry.
"What's in this wooden box?" Lu Yuanqiu asked curiously when he saw a wooden box placed next to Bai Qingxia's butt.
Bai Qingxia quickly turned around, picked up the wooden box and placed it in front of her. She was nervous for a moment, walked forward, opened the wardrobe, and placed the wooden box under the wardrobe.
"So it's a little secret. I won't read it then." Lu Yuanqiu smiled.
Bai Qingxia had her back to him, her eyes dim and she puffed up one side of her cheek.
She stood up and said, "I'm going to cook."
Lu Yuanqiu turned around and said, "You want me and Liu Wangchun to be alone in a room?"
Bai Qingxia paused as she was walking out, and quickly turned back to take Liu Wangchun's hand and stood up, saying softly, "Chunchun, don't cry, come out and watch me cook."
"good……"
Liu Wangchun stood up and cursed Lu Yuanqiu as he passed by him, calling him a psycho.
After the two girls left the room, Lu Yuanqiu looked at the closet and thought that Bai Qingxia was quite reassuring, but he certainly wouldn't peek.
Lu Yuanqiu cried out "Ouch" and lay on the bed, falling asleep with the quilt that Bai Qingxia had once covered on his head.
He didn't wake up until he dreamed of a snow-white swan crawling into his quilt and pecking his arm with its red beak.
This lunch reminded Lu Yuanqiu of the first time he came here to eat. At that time, Bai Qingxia was shy, reserved and polite, unlike now, when she would occasionally raise her hand to hit him and glare at him.
"Since Uncle Bai has settled down at Aunt Zhang's place, you can continue to live at my house before school starts." Lu Yuanqiu said to Bai Qingxia while eating.
Bai Qingxia thought about it and said with a smile: "Okay."
These past few days, she cooked every meal at Lu Yuanqiu's house, cleaned the room and did housework every day. Her uncle and aunt were very happy, and she also felt that her stay was not in vain, so she agreed readily.
Liu Wangchun frowned: "Xia Xia, come live at my house."
Lu Yuanqiu put down the bowl and made an angry expression at Liu Wangchun with his teeth bared.
Liu Wangchun: "...Okay, okay, I'll go live at your house and I won't fight with you for it."
She touched Lu Yuanqiu's hair as if she was stroking a puppy guarding its food.
Lu Yuanqiu slapped her hand away and said to Bai Qingxia: "Actually, I think Aunt Zhang likes Uncle Bai."
"Ah?!" Bai Qingxia looked surprised.
Seeing her so surprised, Lu Yuanqiu was stunned. He thought this girl had seen through it, but it turned out that she hadn't seen anything. What have you been looking at these two days? Looking at me?
…
A week later, at night.
A black car was parked at the entrance of Guihua Lane.
The car door opened and a man in a white suit, gold-rimmed glasses and a spade tattoo on his wrist got out. Surrounded by a group of bodyguards, he walked quickly into Osmanthus Lane, looking very anxious.
The alley was filled with the stench of sewers and small workshops. Zhang Yibin covered his mouth and nose with a piece of cloth, feeling a little uncomfortable. He and a group of bodyguards walked into the small courtyard of Bai Qingxia's house with a clear purpose.
"Can we trust what that woman says? It's okay if they don't know what's inside, but if they do know, things will be very serious." Zhang Yibin asked the bodyguard with a frown.
The bodyguard beside him responded respectfully: "Boss, don't worry. That Nini wouldn't dare to tell a lie. She admitted that the USB drive was given to the woman named Zhang Li in the KTV. Zhang Li's home is right here."
Zhang Yibin looked up and followed his bodyguard upstairs.
"Kick." He said softly while standing on the balcony.
Several men in black suits kicked open Xiaoli's door. Zhang Yibin took a look and saw no one inside. The bodyguards searched for half an hour and turned the entire room upside down but still couldn't find the USB flash drive they mentioned.
