Chapter 18 The road home is both long and short.



"Cough cough!...cough...cough cough cough!..."

"Why are you all soaked? You'll catch a cold. Come with me!" Cheng Yudie grabbed Wen He's cold hand and hurried forward.

"Where to...?" Wen He asked subconsciously.

"You must have missed the last bus. Anyway, it's cold outside, let's go back to the apartment first."

Wen He rationally wanted to refuse, but his survival instinct prevented him from speaking.

Now he can't even go home.

His body was soaked by the rain, and the biting cold made him shiver all over.

Cheng Yudie's apartment was very close; it only took a few minutes to walk there.

This is a small loft apartment; it's very clean, beautiful, and has a faint, pleasant fragrance.

"I'm fine... I won't bother you this late..." Wen He said somewhat reluctantly.

But more than anything, I felt fear.

He feared that his own filth would pollute this sacred place.

"What are you saying? Come in quickly." Cheng Yudie didn't care about anything else and pulled him in.

Wen He stood there, soaking wet, somewhat at a loss.

"Go take a hot shower first. There are clean towels in the cabinet under the sink." Cheng Yudie pushed Wen He into the bathroom and then closed the door.

Looking at the bathroom, which was much larger than her own room, Wen He felt a little uneasy.

But he is indeed very cold right now.

and……

It would be too pitiful for him to die like this.

Let's just live, at least let's get through today.

Hearing the sound of the showerhead coming from the bathroom, Cheng Yudie breathed a sigh of relief, as if a weight had finally been lifted from her heart.

Bang bang bang...

After a while, there was a knock on the bathroom door.

"Hey, I've left your change of clothes by the door!" Cheng Yudie said from outside the door.

"Okay, thank you," Wen He replied.

After taking a shower, Wen He opened the bathroom door and came out.

"You're all washed up, come here quickly. I made you some ginger tea, it'll warm you up." Cheng Yudie's voice came from the kitchen.

"This is too much trouble for you."

Wen He had never been treated like this before, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

"It's no trouble at all, it's just boiling water, don't worry."

As she spoke, Cheng Yudie carried the ginger tea out of the kitchen.

Seeing that Wen He's clothes fit perfectly, Cheng Yudie nodded in satisfaction: "I didn't expect my pajamas to fit you so well. It's just that these wide-leg pants are a little short, but it's okay, you can wear them as capri pants."

"Pajamas!?" Wen He was slightly surprised, and her face instantly turned red.

He was puzzled at the time, as Cheng Yudie was 1.65 meters tall, but Wen He, who was 1.8 meters tall, wore the clothes exceptionally well.

“Yeah, this kind of loose, oversized T-shirt is perfect for wearing as pajamas at night. You don’t even need to wear pants. How does it smell? Doesn’t it smell nice?” Cheng Yudie leaned closer with a mischievous grin.

"I...I...I don't know..."

Wen He had never been teased like this before. She turned her head away, blushing and stammering.

"Haha, you're still as fun as ever." Seeing that her scheme had succeeded, Cheng Yudie laughed happily.

Her laughter, like the tinkling of silver bells, was as beautiful as ever.

"Alright, drink up, I won't tease you anymore." With that, she handed over the ginger tea.

Wen He was stunned after taking it, and looked up at Cheng Yudie in disbelief, only to see that the other woman's big, bright eyes were also looking at Wen He.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"fine……"

Wen He blew on the cool air and drank a sip of ginger tea.

A warm current immediately soothed his body, dispelling the cold.

His cold heart was warmer than his body.

As we drank...

Wen He's nose felt a little sore.

He held back, not wanting Cheng Yudie to notice.

It's so strange that I started crying after drinking a sip of ginger tea.

But then I thought...

The songs he sang during his previous live streams greatly increased his fame, although he felt he didn't deserve so much adulation.

But it cannot be denied that he has recently gained a certain degree of fame.

And he was indeed using his real name.

Could it be that Cheng Yudie recognized him?

Then I saw the "Underwater" video he posted, so I came here?

Although that's a bit too narcissistic.

but……

It's really strange that Cheng Yudie would appear at the bus stop on a rainy night like this.

"Why are you wandering around the roadside alone at night instead of going home?" Wen He changed her questioning approach, intending to probe indirectly.

"You're asking me? I'm asking you the same thing. Why is someone sitting at a bus stop soaking wet, just staring blankly? Is this some kind of bizarre performance art?"

Instead of answering, Cheng Yudie asked a question in return.

Compared to why Cheng Yudie was there, Wen He's behavior was indeed much stranger.

"I work nearby, and I was working late today. Plus, it suddenly started raining heavily on the way. By the time I got to the bus stop, the bus had already left, so..." Wen He explained.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yudie suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, how could you be so miserable! I was wondering why you were sitting there like a drowned rat, it was so pitiful, hahahahaha!" She couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Cheng Yudie's smile was infectious, which made Wen He's tense and uneasy heart relax a little.

"It's a bit tragic..."
