Chapter 11 Lin Jue didn’t know why he had to answer the phone and go home…
Lin Jue didn't know why, but on the way home, Su Huaiwang's face was always very gray, and his eyes stared blankly ahead as if he was dead.
She reviewed her actions in her mind and didn't think she had done anything inappropriate.
Su Huaiwang's condition started to become abnormal when he took the express delivery that she handed to him. Lin Jue turned around and his eyes fell on the express delivery that Su Huaiwang had stuffed into the corner.
It was an ordinary square express box, and there was no written content on the paper. Lin Jue focused his attention, his eyes penetrating through the outer packaging of the express box and into the contents inside.
Um?
"Do you have anything to do at noon?"
Su Huaiwang's voice suddenly came from my ear.
Lin Jue slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Su Huaiwang again:
"No, what's wrong?"
"How about I treat you to a meal? Cold noodles?"
Su Huaiwang drove the car, feeling hopeless. She wanted to make it up to Lin Jue and apologize to her hand in this way.
"Okay." Lin Jue's lips dimpled and he happily put aside the things in the express box that he didn't understand.
Su Huaiwang let out a long breath, not knowing that the secret he had tried so hard to hide had been discovered by Lin Jue.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" She heard Lin Jue ask her worriedly.
Su Huaiwang was speechless. She couldn't say that she was tired. It would be bad if Lin Jue thought she was blaming her.
So she could only say: "Nothing, maybe a little hypoglycemia."
You know what, the reason of hypoglycemia is actually quite useful.
With a "rip" sound, Su Huaiwang heard Lin Jue open a candy and then put the candy to her lips.
"A candy?"
The hard candy pressed against Su Huaiwang's lips, and a faint mint scent rushed to his nose. It was unclear whether it came mainly from the tiny candy grain or from the girl's fingertips.
Su Huaiwang swallowed the candy in a hurry, and her lips inevitably touched Lin Jue's fingers, making her feel restless.
But looking at Lin Jue, he didn't react at all, and didn't think there was anything wrong. He just smiled with satisfaction and withdrew his hand.
Su Huaiwang sighed inwardly.
What is going on? Why is she here all alone, feeling so nervous? When will this damn creature's estrus period end?
-
The electric tricycle stopped steadily in front of the villa. Lin Jue took his belongings from the car and said:
"I'll take the things back first and come back later."
Su Huaiwang nodded: "Then I won't close the door, just come in."
"If there are too many things to carry back, just put them in the car first. I'll bring them in for you when I come over later."
Su Huaiwang agreed, but after Lin Jue turned and left, he still ran twice silently to move all the things in.
When Lin Jue came over and saw the empty car and the full living room, he knew that Su Huaiwang had moved twice by himself, so he was a little dissatisfied:
"Didn't we agree that I would help you move the rest?"
Su Huaiwang was busy in the kitchen. Hearing Lin Jue's complaints, he found it a little funny: "Next time, next time I'll ask you to help, okay?"
Lin Jue followed the voice into the kitchen and looked at her seriously: "Okay."
Her clothes were neatly arranged, and she was wearing an apron. Her hair was tied up, and there was no sweat on her head. The dishes were almost done. Lin Jue felt a little disappointed that there was no place for her to help.
"You go out and wait for a moment, it will be ready soon." Cold noodles are simple to make and appetizing. They are a must-have dish for one person in summer, so Su Huaiwang is very skilled in making them.
"Yeah." Su Huaiwang didn't look at her. Lin Jue walked out of the kitchen with a stern face without a smile. When she passed by Xiao Huang at the door, she squatted down and stroked its fur along its back twice.
Being touched by the cool hand, Xiao Huang raised his head happily. The next second, Lin Jue's other hand pressed on his head.
Black energy surged in her palm. As long as she wanted, with just a thought, the dog's self-awareness would be erased. She would live with Su Huaiwang in place of the dog, and no one would ever find out.
As long as she wanted, she could replace everything in the house, including the pets and Su Huaiwang's "friend" who had not yet appeared.
She could make Su Huaiwang's world consist of only her, just like a year ago.
The black air dissipated, and she patted Xiao Huang's head in dissatisfaction. Xiao Huang had no idea what kind of crisis he had just experienced, and was still sticking his tongue out and grinning at her.
"Silly dog."
Lin Jue held up its head, his eyes filled with jealousy and a hint of affection: "You really don't know how to appreciate your blessings."
She originally hated dogs. The few fragments of her memories contained many of her being chased by vicious dogs. However, the dog Su Huaiwang raised... was so different from the dogs she remembered. Even the dog that was said to be a guard dog...
Lin Jue raised his eyes and looked at the big gray dog lying on its belly not far away. He wondered if its genes were 99% dog and only 1% wolf.
A lively piano melody sounded, and Lin Jue stood up suddenly, subconsciously alert to his surroundings.
Su Huaiwang's voice came from the kitchen, in a panic: "Lin Jue! Can you help me answer the phone? I don't have any hands now!"
She was halfway through making the jelly.
"Oh, okay."
Lin Jue walked into Su Huaiwang's room following the ringing of his cell phone.
Although she had entered Su Huaiwang's room once before when she sent the sleeping Su Huaiwang home, this time was different. This time she came in with Su Huaiwang's consent, which was very important to ghosts like them.
Therefore, when Lin Jue walked into Su Huaiwang's room, he exuded a joyful aura.
She picked up the phone on the bedside table and saw the strange delivery box out of the corner of her eye.
The box was placed in the shadow next to the bedside table, with a strange attitude, both cherished and despised.
The ringing was urgent, so Lin Jue did not indulge his curiosity to explore, but directly pressed the answer button.
"Hello." The girl's voice was cold and clear, like ice, traveling thousands of miles in the receiver, directly freezing Tu Zhizhuo who was on the other side of the receiver.
Tu Zhizhuo was dumbfounded and couldn't convince himself that Su Huaiwang's voice had completely changed in the months when they hadn't spoken.
She didn't reply, and there was no sound on the other end of the phone, waiting patiently for her.
Tu Zhizhuo looked at the three brightly lit characters "Su Huaiwang" on his phone and spoke tentatively:
"I am Su Huaiwang's friend, you are..."
"I'm...her neighbor. She's in the kitchen now. Do you need me to call her?"
Tu Zhizhuo didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the voice on the other side was even colder.
No, neighbors? At Su Huaiwang's house? Su Huaiwang was still cooking for her? Wasn't this a privilege only she could enjoy? How could this newcomer to the palace rise so quickly?
Tu Zhizhuo's mind was in a mess.
On the other side, Lin Jue didn't wait for her reply, so he had to take his phone to find Su Huaiwang.
"Your friend."
Walking to the kitchen door, Lin Jue shook the phone in his hand.
Su Huaiwang turned around and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, it's not finished yet."
Lin Jue took a step forward: "Then I'll hold the phone for you..."
Her natural offer of help was interrupted by Tu Zhizhuo on the phone. The phone's reception was so good that she heard the entire thing. Now she couldn't help but yell, "Oh, it's actually not that important! I can just talk to this neighbor lady! Xiaowang, go and do your own thing!"
Su Huaiwang paused what he was doing, an embarrassed expression appearing on his face.
Facing Lin Jue's puzzled face, she licked her lips and had to explain to Tu Zhizhuo with great effort:
"She...she's not a bad person, just a little too familiar...sorry..."
"It's okay." Lin Jue smiled: "I want to get to know your friend too."
Lin Jue emphasized the word "friend". For some reason, Su Huaiwang always felt that there was something else behind her words.
But after thinking for a while and not figuring it out, she simply gave up thinking about it and said:
"Thank you for your help."
"No trouble."
Lin Jue was still the same, with a beautiful smile, but as soon as she walked out of the kitchen and Su Huaiwang could no longer see her, that smile instantly melted away without a trace.
"Hello, how are you? Is there anything I can help you with?" She had no expression on her face, but carefully put the mobile phone that Su Huaiwang often used close to her ear.
"Nothing, it's just... Xiao Wang mentioned you to me." Tu Zhizhuo chose his words carefully.
Lin Jue was not what she had imagined. She had imagined him to be a fiery vixen, a man who could quickly break through Su Huaiwang's boundaries. But once the call was made, even a deaf person could tell what kind of person he was.
Wow, this cold goddess has given Su Huaiwang such a rare peach blossom.
Tu Zhizhuo rubbed her ears. She had just had the illusion that her ears had been frozen off.
"Really?" Tu Zhizhuo heard a faint smile from the other side, like the ice and snow melting and spring flowers blooming.
For a moment she was uncertain about herself again.
Maybe she's just shy? But how did two shy people get along so quickly? No, if Lin Jue really was that aloof goddess, could it be that Su Huaiwang was the one who took the initiative?! That's even more impossible, right?!
The chaotic thoughts mixed in Tu Zhizhuo's brain, making her forget what she was going to say for a moment.
Until Lin Jue asked her again:
"So what's your business?"
Even after being placed like this, the girl's voice remained steady, without any dissatisfaction. Tu Zhizhuo's favorability towards Su Huaiwang, his new neighbor, suddenly increased significantly.
She said hurriedly:
"Uh, I wanted to tell Xiao Wang that I'll be back around the 3rd, and I'll send her the specific flight time then."
"Yes, I will pass it on."
"Also, I'll be staying at her house for about a week." Tu Zhizhuo paused and smiled. "I'm looking forward to meeting you. Xiao Wang told me a lot about you."
Actually, no, but Tu Zhizhuo felt that she wanted to assist.
Su Huaiwang was too lonely living alone, and Tu Zhizhuo occasionally worried about her mental health. After all, humans are social animals after all.
Now that Lin Jue is here to accompany her, Tu Zhizhuo would be in vain if he doesn’t take advantage of her.
"Is that so?" The other party was silent for a moment and then replied.
"Yes." Tu Zhizhuo was very happy, thinking that his assist was very successful.
"Well, I'll tell her." Lin Jue lowered his eyelashes, and wisps of black air emerged from his fingertips:
"I'm looking forward to it, too."
After the phone was hung up, the sound of plates hitting the table came from behind. Su Huaiwang was already serving dishes to the table.
"I'm sorry, she's always like this. What did she say to you?"
Lin Jue turned around, the black air had been completely swallowed by her, and the smile that Su Huaiwang was familiar with appeared on her face again.
"Nothing, just that she's coming back on the 3rd, and she'll send you the plane ticket. Also, she'll be staying at your place for a week."
"It's about this..." Looking at Lin Jue's amber eyes, Su Huaiwang felt a little guilty for some reason. She put down the plate in her hand and touched her face: "This kind of thing can be told by text message, do you have to call... Let's not talk about this, let's eat."
"Um."
Lin Jue walked towards her with a normal expression and handed her the phone.
That "friend" had returned, and there was going to be another living being between them. This feeling was always unpleasant.
Khaki.
The ice in the bowl cracked for no apparent reason.
