Su Tangxue still didn't dare to be careless. Holding a thick stick in her hand, she stared at the door and the walls without looking away.
Sweat soaked my palms, and my forearms felt sore and weak. Ten minutes passed, and there was still no movement outside the door. The yard seemed to have returned to its previous tranquility.
Su Tangxue turned her head to look at her grandmother and found that she was staring at her intently at the moment. When she turned her head back, she smiled at her and revealed that she was missing a few teeth.
The tense nerve gradually relaxed.
It's been so long, the bastard should be dead by now!
Before she could completely breathe a sigh of relief, another sound came from the other side of the door. This time it was no longer a knock on the door, but the sound of a key being inserted into the lock and turning.
Brother?
Only her brother gave her the key, and she didn't even give it to Lu Qinglin before he died.
It’s not that I don’t want to give it, it’s that I forgot.
Su Tangxue glanced uncertainly at the two dogs in the yard. Huanghua and Huangcai were lying on the ground exhausted, sticking out their tongues, with no intention of barking.
Su Tangxue asked her grandmother to hide, while she took a wooden stick and moved closer to the door lock.
Why is brother back at this time?
Didn’t he go with the captain to catch the thief?
If it really is Brother O, then what's the explanation for that bastard outside the door just now?
Su Tangxue swallowed nervously, lowered her voice and moved, holding the wooden stick tightly in her hand to prevent the gangsters from making any noise to confuse her.
The man outside the door turned the door lock hurriedly, anxious to get in immediately.
Seeing that the lock was about to be opened, Su Tangxue quickly and decisively lowered the horizontal bar inside the door. Even if the lock on the outside was opened, no one could get in.
Before she was sure who the person outside was, Su Tangxue couldn't just leave her and her grandmother's safety at risk.
"Brother, is that you?"
Su Tangxue asked anxiously, feeling uncertain but also a hint of worry and expectation.
The man outside the door paused for a moment as he unlocked the door.
"It's me!"
A familiar voice came to her mind. Behind him, it was a voice she could only hear in dreams.
Su Tangxue couldn't hold back the emotions in her heart, her eyes turned red and hot tears welled up in them.
Su Tangxue asked nervously with a choked breath mixed with the name she had been thinking about day and night.
"Lu Qinglin?"
"Yes, it's me."
The door opened.
Standing outside the door was the same face that she remembered, still as energetic as ever.
Su Tangxue opened her arms and hugged the man in front of her tightly, big tears dripping from her eyes. This time, she was no longer crying out of worry, but out of excitement and joy after surviving the disaster.
"Lu Qinglin, do you know that you scared me to death?"
I thought you were dead...
I thought it was a gangster coming to my house...
Lu Qinglin hugged her back, his warm palm gently caressing her restlessness, his delicate lips falling on her forehead, his soft whispers filled with endless longing.
"I'm back. I'm sorry for making you worry."
"I thought you were gone, Lu Qinglin..."
She couldn't help but let her emotions out in front of the man without reservation. God knows how heartbroken she was when she learned the news that Lu Qinglin was bombed.
