After thinking about it, he still felt that he had to come and check on her before he could feel at ease. He walked into the yard and saw that the lights in Lin Xiaoxiao's room were off. He guessed that she should be asleep and not be scared. He walked for a while and thought that it should be okay, so he left with peace of mind.
When Chen Chao arrived at the warehouse, it was closed, but there was light coming from inside, which meant that Zhou Cuifen was not asleep yet.
After hesitating for more than ten minutes, Chen Chao tried to knock on the door.
In the warehouse, Zhou Cuifen was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. She thought it was an auditory hallucination because no one ever knocked on the door here at night.
But after a while, the sound suddenly rang out again, and Zhou Cuifen was immediately frightened. If it were Lin Xiaoxiao, Lin Feng, and Lin Rui, they would definitely call her out.
But now the people outside did not say anything.
Who would come looking for her? Could it be a bad guy?
Thinking of this, Zhou Cuifen became even more frightened. She stood there not daring to move, trying to pretend that there was no one in the warehouse. However, the person outside had no intention of giving up and kept knocking for a while.
Zhou Cuifen couldn't help herself and asked bravely, "Who is it?"
Even though she pretended to be calm, her voice still trembled slightly.
Chen Chao was stunned when he heard Zhou Cuifen's fear. He slapped himself angrily. How could he forget that Zhou Cuifen, a girl, would definitely be scared when someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night!
Thinking of this, he quickly said: "Cui Fen, don't be afraid, it's me, I'm Chen Chao."
"Chen Chao?"
Zhou Cuifen's heart immediately returned to her stomach, but she did not immediately open the door for Chen Chao. Instead, she asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"
Shouldn't Chen Chao be asleep at this time?
Chen Chao said, "I was afraid you'd be scared alone, so I came over to check on you."
Zhou Cuifen: “…”
She had been used to it and was not afraid, but after being frightened by Chen Chao just now, she was really scared.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's not convenient for me to open the door for you at night."
Zhou Cuifen is a bit conservative at heart. Besides, she and Chen Chao have just confirmed their relationship, so it’s not appropriate for them to meet alone so late.
Hearing Zhou Cuifen say this, Chen Chao also felt that he was a little too anxious, and it was indeed not a good idea to do it so late.
So he said, "It's okay, I just came to take a look. You don't have to open the door. Just go to sleep! I'll leave when you fall asleep."
Hearing this, Zhou Cuifen immediately smiled happily, "You should go back to bed early! Don't you have to get up early tomorrow?"
"It's okay to sleep a little less." Chen Chao said.
"Okay then! You call out twice later. If I don't make a sound, I'm asleep."
Zhou Cuifen said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Chao immediately responded.
Zhou Cuifen originally thought that when Chen Chao called her later, she would not make a sound, so that Chen Chao would think she was asleep and leave.
However, she didn't expect that after half an hour, Chen Chao didn't call her. Just like that, she didn't know when she fell asleep.
Chen Chao stayed outside for almost an hour. Then he leaned against the door and listened for a while. There was no movement inside. He called out twice in a low voice, but there was still no movement. Then he left.
The next morning, Chen Chao sent Naibao to school as usual, then took Lin Xiaoxiao to the warehouse. On the way, he also bought breakfast for Zhou Cuifen.
Looking at Chen Chao’s expression, even buying breakfast tastes like happiness.
Lin Xiaoxiao saw it and smiled in her heart.
