Lin Yusheng thought for a moment and said, "Isn't this the same as lust at first sight?"
Shen Yishu immediately snapped out of the ambiguous atmosphere.
She pretended to be angry and said, "Sometimes I really don't want to talk to unromantic people."
Lin Yusheng laughed without any restraint and asked gossipily, "Did you see a handsome guy?"
"I haven't seen his face yet, but judging from his figure and that lonely yet intriguing back view, he would be at least the third male lead in a novel."
"Oh~ I don't want to be so disappointed when I see her face."
Shen Yishu said confidently, "I have a feeling it won't happen. It seems he didn't bring an umbrella. Wait for my good news."
The call ended.
Lin Yusheng was both amused and exasperated.
She never expected that her best friend, who used to be so foul-mouthed, would end up living the most innocent life. Over the years, she has been so busy writing that she has never even had a boyfriend.
Shen Yishu took several deep breaths to prepare herself mentally before walking towards the man.
She kept telling herself that she wasn't trying to pick him up, but just kindly asking if he needed to share an umbrella, and that she could take him home or to the bus stop.
Wen Nian just arrived in Lucheng today. He didn't tell anyone and just rented a place here.
In the past four years, my brother has hardly spoken to him.
It's not wrong for his brother not to forgive him, but he always wants to do something for him, even if it means giving his life. He would do it without hesitation because he owes his brother this.
Wen Nian stopped simply because he was thirsty. He didn't care about the rain and was about to step into the rain when he heard a slightly nervous female voice beside him.
"Hi, did you forget your umbrella? Do you need me to give you a ride?"
Wen Nian didn't like talking to strangers. He glanced at her sideways, his brows furrowed, his face expressionless.
Shen Yishu saw his face as he turned his head, and she couldn't hide her excitement. After so many years, she had finally met a handsome man who had no bad angles!
Wen Nian's eyes lit up when he saw the girl in pajamas and wearing large black-rimmed glasses. She was pretty, but he wasn't interested.
"No need." He left those words coldly, then stepped into the rain.
Shen Yishu stood there, somewhat frustrated. Even if she wasn't wearing makeup, she wasn't so ugly that people would avoid her like this, was she?
Besides, even if she's as ugly as a demon, she meant well. How can you be so cold to a kind person?
Shen Yishu was furious, feeling confused and resentful.
But then I thought, maybe he has a girlfriend? That wouldn't be unforgivable.
She wasn't one to fight internally, so she simply opened her umbrella and rushed forward.
"Handsome, do you have a girlfriend?"
Wen Nian was surprised that she would catch up. He frowned slightly, annoyed!
He hates women who pester him.
"It has nothing to do with you."
Shen Yishu froze on the spot, her round eyes filled with disbelief. Was she really that annoying?
While it's true that she was the one who wanted to strike up a conversation, this man was just so tasteless.
angry!
Shen Yishu angrily shouted at his retreating back, "Serves you right for getting soaked in the rain, hmph!"
After saying that, she turned and ran. What a joke, she couldn't beat them.
Wen Nian paused, turned back to look at the figure running away with displeasure, and said, "Crazy."
Shen Yishu suffered a major blow.
She stormed home, and Lin Yusheng immediately called her with a gossipy video call.
Shen Yishu answered the call.
Lin Yusheng asked, "So? Is this your future?"
"No, that's impossible. I must have been mistaken. He's just an ugly idiot."
Lin Yusheng was shocked. "What did he do to make you so angry?"
“He…” Shen Yishu was still angry, but then she realized that he didn’t seem to have done anything wrong. It was just that she couldn’t accept the outcome.
"He...he's rude." Shen Yishu managed to utter only this sentence, her face flushed.
Lin Yusheng was silent for three seconds, then couldn't help but laugh, "Tsk, it seems our Shushu has run into a wall."
...
Shen Yishu was so angry that she couldn't sleep at night, so she started writing furiously.
At two o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on her door. The person knocking was very strong, as if they wanted to smash her door down.
Shen Yishu was startled; this was the fourth time such a thing had happened this month.
A drunk man lived downstairs from her. Ever since he overheard her living alone in the elevator one night, he would often knock on her door in the middle of the night, pretending to be drunk.
Shen Yishu had called the police twice before. The second time, the police took her away and said they would detain her.
This happened so soon after we left.
"You bitch, I know you're in there. Get out here, you son of a bitch! It's your good fortune that I've taken a liking to you, and you actually called the police to arrest me. I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget."
Shen Yishu felt a chill of fear; she hadn't been wrong after all, this person had done it on purpose.
With trembling hands, she called the police and then called security.
The people outside were banging on and kicking the door. If Dad hadn't had someone reinforce the door beforehand, it probably would have been kicked open by now.
Shen Yishu cried out of fear, but it was so late at night, and she didn't know who to call for help.
Sheng Sheng must be asleep by now.
...
Only after the police came and took her away did Shen Yishu dare to go out.
"Thank you so much, you've gone to so much trouble," Shen Yishu said gratefully to the police.
"You're welcome. It's our duty. But little sister, if you live alone, we suggest you find another place."
“This drunkard is a bit mentally unstable. We are afraid he might do something rash. We can’t protect you all the time, so we are afraid something might happen.”
Shen Yishu's face turned pale. She said, "Okay, I understand."
Even if the police hadn't said anything, she was already planning to move out.
The security in the neighborhood has been getting worse in the past two years, and many people who can afford it have moved away.
After what happened, she didn't dare stay any longer.
*
Three days later, Shen Yishu finally found a place to live.
She likes peace and quiet and prefers living on the top floor so she can enjoy the view.
Ideally, it would be best if there was only one household per floor, but the apartment she found this time had two households per floor, and one of them was already rented. Otherwise, Shen Yishu would have liked to rent both of them.
She called Lin Yusheng, "Shengsheng, I'm moving today, do you have time to come over and help me?"
"Moving? Why so suddenly?"
"I'll explain in more detail to you later."
"Okay, I'm coming over now."
Lin Yusheng has no work commitments these past few days and has been resting at home. Besides, her best friend is moving, which is a big deal, so she has to put her work aside.
...
After hearing Shen Yishu explain the whole story, Lin Yusheng was both shocked and angry. "Why didn't you come to me when something like this happened?"
Shen Yishu said playfully, "It's late at night, you must be asleep. Besides, I called the police, they came quickly, it's okay."
"Is this how it's supposed to be understood?" Lin Yusheng asked angrily.
