There was no movement in the room for a while. Zhou Shu came out of the bathroom and saw Yu Qirong still sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at the phone in his hand, his fingers swiping the screen from time to time.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Shu asked him.
Yu Qirong continued to swipe his phone without even looking up, and replied in a matter-of-fact tone: "Order takeout, I'm hungry."
Zhou Shu was so anxious that he circled around him: "Did you hear what I just said in the bathroom? Chi Li was saved in the hospital, and you need to go there again."
Yu Qirong hesitated between braised chicken with rice and beef in sour soup, and finally chose pork ribs with rice. Then he raised his eyes, glanced at Zhou Shu, and asked, "Why, I have to go if he asks me to. Does he pay me?"
"..." Zhou Shu was speechless after being asked by him. After a while, he asked cautiously: "Then, then we won't go?"
Yu Qirong lowered his eyes and kept an eye on the delivery status on his phone. He concluded, "It depends on my mood."
God knows when he's in a good mood!
Zhou Shu was feeling uneasy, but he couldn't force Yu Qirong to go there overnight, so he just ordered some takeout, still thinking about Chi Li.
Chi Li has a special status and is rich, so it is best not to offend him if possible. We still have to find a way to get Yu Qirong over.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shu raised his head, but ran directly into Yu Qirong's leisurely gaze. The red pupils were like ghosts, as if they could see through his thoughts. Zhou Shu's heart was pounding: "Why are you looking at me?"
Yu Qirong crossed her legs, propped up her chin, stared at him, and said in a lazy and dangerous tone: "I was just wondering, how did you know Chi Li's information? Do you have his contact information?"
Zhou Shu's heart skipped a beat, his eyes dodged, and he stammered, "How can I have his contact information? I'm not familiar with him, and the foreman sent it to me."
"Oh?" Yu Qirong tilted his head slightly and thought: "Since you asked me to come over, why didn't you send it to me and you instead?"
"How should I know? Maybe he thinks we have a good relationship." Zhou Shu excused himself.
"Then let me see the text message." Yu Qirong curled his eyes, stretched out a hand to Zhou Shu to ask for his phone, and said word by word: "The one the foreman sent you."
"..." Zhou Shu was silent for two seconds, and felt that he could no longer hide it, so he had to admit that he was lying to Yu Qirong: "Okay, actually it was Chi Li who sent it. Do you remember that I said he also contacted me before? He added me at that time."
"What's there to hide?" Yu Qirong was still a little suspicious of his lying, but she suppressed it for the time being and was not in a hurry.
There were sounds of quarreling outside. The door of this room was not very soundproofed, so as long as it was quiet in the room, you could hear what was said in the corridor outside.
The quarreling voices included both men and women, mixed with words like "children" and "divorce".
Yu Qirong frowned and roughly knew which household it was.
Zhou Shu had never paid much attention to neighborhood relations, so he seemed curious and excited when he heard this. He wanted to pull Yu Qirong to eavesdrop with him but he didn't dare to, so he had to run to the bathroom and eavesdrop on it under the pretext of going to the toilet.
It seemed like an extramarital affair. The man had a wife and they had not divorced yet. The woman got pregnant without knowing it. The man asked her to beat him but she refused and ran away to have a baby secretly.
Now the man wants to come back and take the child back, but the woman refuses to go.
What an ethical drama.
Zhou Shu was shocked when he heard this. He pulled up his pants, flushed the toilet, and walked out of the bathroom, but found that Yu Qirong had a dull expression, as if he was thinking about something.
He felt guilty and was too embarrassed to initiate a conversation with Yu Qirong. He was about to tiptoe to his bed when he heard Yu Qirong ask, "You cheated after getting married. Don't you like her? If you don't like her, why did you get married?"
"What?" Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment, then realized that Yu Qirong was talking about the two people outside. He said to smooth things over, "Maybe it was a momentary impulse, passion..."
"I can't understand it." Yu Qirong shook his head, interrupted Zhou Shu's words, and continued: "If he can forget his love in a moment of impulse, then his love is too cheap."
For the first time, Zhou Shu discovered that his childhood friend was quite innocent, a pure love warrior. He scratched his chin and said carefully: "That's true, but in today's society, there are too many bad people. It's good enough to maintain your original intention, and you can't be too demanding of others."
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Yu Qirong looked depressed and seemed to have not come out of it yet, so he helped to comfort her, "But that's not necessarily the case. When choosing people, you can be more discerning and skip those bad people."
"You're right." Yu Qirong nodded. Next time he sent a love letter, he would think carefully before making any plans.
There was a noise outside for a while, and then someone probably felt embarrassed and the noise died down. I don’t know whether they lowered their voice or hid in the room.
The delivery was also very fast and was delivered to the door in no time.
Yu Qirong didn't take the initiative to talk, and Zhou Shu was also feeling uneasy and didn't dare to say anything, so the two of them finished the meal in silence.
Not long after dinner, Yu Qirong went to bed, but Zhou Shu was not sleepy at all. He had slept for a whole day and was very energetic. He didn't know why Yu Qirong could sleep so much.
After sitting on the bed and playing with his phone for a while, Zhou Shu took off his shoes and socks, picked up the socks, put them in front of him and fanned away the smell.
Ugh. Why don't you take a shower?
Not long after, the sound of the shower head flushing could be heard in the bathroom.
The structures of every room in this building are similar, and the bathrooms are also narrow and cramped. Zhou Shu carefully avoided the squat toilet and took a bath in an awkward position between the squat toilet and the sink.
The bathroom is the closest place to the corridor, and you can basically hear any noise outside.
It's not too late at this time. The children have just finished their homework and come out to play. The adults are sitting downstairs chatting. I can't hear what they are talking about clearly, but I can occasionally hear laughter and the children's screaming and laughing.
The warm water rushing over his body, coupled with the peaceful atmosphere outside, was able to relieve most of his fatigue and mental tension, and Zhou Shu completely relaxed.
After applying facial cleanser on his face, he closed his eyes and grabbed the shampoo on the shower table, thinking of taking a shower together later.
The bathtub was icy cold, and Zhou Shu couldn't help shivering as soon as he touched it.
When people lose their vision, their imagination becomes particularly rich. The bathing table was cold and slippery, giving Zhou Shu the illusion that he was touching a snake's body.
Following the direction in his memory, Zhou Shu finally found the shampoo, unscrewed the cap, and squeezed it into his hand. It felt thinner than he had imagined, probably because it was diluted with water.
He didn't dare to let his imagination run wild any further. He obediently put the shampoo bottle back where it was and then applied it to his head.
When you have rubbed your hair until it is almost done, turn around and rinse off the foam.
The warm water on his neck suddenly disappeared, and a cool breeze came from somewhere, making Zhou Shu feel cold. He shrank his neck and inserted his fingers into his hair, trying to wash away the foam quickly.
But the stickiness between his fingers didn't dissipate at all, and as he rubbed the hair, it seemed to become smoother and smoother.
What kind of shampoo is so fake and slippery.
Zhou Shu thought to himself that he would never buy this brand again.
He first used his hands to scoop up water and rinse his face, but the moment his hands and face touched, he smelled a greasy smell.
No way, it’s not been long since I last took a shower. There’s so much putty on my head, and the scent of shampoo is gone.
Zhou Shu suddenly became alert, and his mind flashed back to the scene last night when Chi Li seemed to be possessed by a ghost, and the bloody piece of meat that fell on the track...
Only then did he realize that the sounds around him seemed to have suddenly disappeared and he could hear nothing. The clearest sound was the thumping of his heart.
For a moment, he didn't even have the courage to open his eyes and the bathroom door seemed to be suddenly blown open by the wind.
The cool breeze outside made Zhou Shu shiver, as if in the next second, the pair of ice-cold hands would touch his body and easily cut his belly.
Zhou Shu's legs went limp, and he leaned against the bathroom tiles, muttering to himself, "Don't come looking for me. Every wrong has its perpetrator. Chi Li is still alive. Go find him..."
"Who are you talking to?"
A calm voice suddenly broke the silence around him. Zhou Shu paused. Although the voice was also cold, it was a familiar voice to him. He opened his eyes suddenly and saw Yu Qirong leaning against the door with his arms folded. Her scarlet eyes looked at him without any emotion.
Zhou Shu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the foam in his hand again. It seemed that everything that had just happened was an illusion. Perhaps he had been too nervous recently.
"No, I was just talking to myself." Zhou Shu glanced at Yu Qirong, "Hey, I'm not wearing any clothes, why did you just barge in like this?"
Yu Qirong paused, his eyes swept across the area below Zhou Shu, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, with a hint of contempt.
Zhou Shu: “…” Your expression is a bit too obvious, can you cover it up a little?
He argued unconvincedly: "This is the normal level for humans, it's enough."
"..." Yu Qirong relaxed his interrogation posture, turned around and walked towards his bed, leaving him with only one sentence: "Tell me if there is anything, otherwise I may not be able to protect you."
Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "At least close the door before you leave, it's very cold, isn't it?"
The moonlight was white in color, shining through the window, making the ground flow with a silky sheen.
Yu Qirong smiled faintly and looked towards the bathroom thoughtfully.
He had not slept very soundly just now, but suddenly he felt the breath of black fog in his sleep. When he woke up, he found that the source was from the direction of the bathroom, not coming towards him.
It took him a lot of effort to open the bathroom door, otherwise Zhou Shu would probably have been sent to the hospital.
The same smell, there is no doubt that Zhou Shu is lying.
The relationship between him and Chi Lisa is not simple. It is even possible that they harmed someone together and were accomplices.
