sinking in his peril

It seemed that within a few minutes, someone rang the doorbell.

Zhizhi quickly went to open the door, and outside the door was the secretary who went to Ruiming to look at her arrogantly, holding a large bag of things in her hand, and handing it to her with a smile on her face.

Zhizhi looked down and heard her explain: "Mr. Zhong ordered me to deliver it. If you see anything missing, I will deliver it again."

It's so troublesome, it's better to just find her a hotel.

Randomly dialed, there was a huge warm lunch box on the top, and pajamas, washing and daily necessities were placed underneath, she thanked shyly: "I'm really sorry for your inconvenience."

"No. The food is brought by the company. I don't know if it suits your taste." She paused, "Mr. Zhong has important customers to receive now, and will contact you in the evening." The meaning of those eyes with delicate eye makeup Unknown glanced at her.Zhizhi suddenly became angry: After all, I am a pure intellectual, could it be that I was misunderstood?
It's just that she can't lose her demeanor, she politely watched that slender figure go out, and closed the door bitterly.

She never knew that depressed emotions could increase a person's appetite sharply, or that the food was very appetizing. Zhizhi looked at the empty four-layer lunch box on the table, and it took a long time to remember that she should wash it off.

His kitchen is more like a model room, with a complete set of imported kitchen utensils, but he didn't find a bottle of dishwashing liquid - I really wonder if he cooked the good dishes that day.

Zhizhi could only rinse it with water and put it aside.

It's not easy to just go into other people's rooms to visit, so Zhizhi can only sit in front of the TV and watch dozens of channels over and over in boredom.His home landline rang—Zhizhi didn't dare to answer it, and let it ring for a long time.After a while, her cell phone rang, and she picked it up.

His voice was deep and displeased, "Where are you?"

"Your home."

Suddenly, the displeasure seemed to dissipate, "Why didn't you answer the phone just now?"

"I'm afraid I'm looking for your call, so I dare not answer it." Zhizhi said honestly, "Why didn't you call my cell phone?"

"I thought you could understand the caller ID on a landline phone." Zhong Ruoxi said jokingly.

Zhizhi glanced at the caller ID guiltily, the number with three sixes at the end was a number she was familiar with.

"You sleep upstairs in the left-hand room at night. They are all new." He said to her, "I probably won't come back, and I will be busy until late tonight."

The explanation of the last sentence was awkward no matter how she listened, Zhizhi felt her face turn red slightly, and hummed.

"I'll take you back to school tomorrow, and I have something to do, so let's go along the way."

"Okay, but I have to wait for Bai Xiyao to come back, and I can get my things when she opens the door."

"Oh." He agreed lightly, as if thinking of something, "You...would you be afraid if you live alone at night?" His house is actually not that big, it's only two floors, and it's just a girl living in an empty room. Yes, probably a little scared.

She smiled cheerfully: "It's the first time I live in such a big and comfortable house, why are you afraid?" Hanging up the phone, sitting on the sofa with her knees hugged, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: If he comes back to live in at night, then no matter what, she would rather trouble Xu In short, I don't want the lonely man and widow to be alone in his house.

Run to the room on the second floor, turn on the light, a huge soft-looking bed, and a set of gray-striped bedding.Zhizhi carried her pajamas and messy things into the bathroom, took a hot shower, dried her hair slightly and lay on the bed, regretting it—after sleeping for so long in the afternoon, it was really hard to fall asleep now.The bedside lamp was dimly on, which was the most suitable light for falling asleep, but she suddenly felt frightened for no reason, as expected, she was not used to such a big house.

So I jumped up and turned on the headlights, walked to the door, couldn't help but secretly opened the door a crack, and looked out—it was pitch black, but I didn't dare to go out anyway and turned on all the lights, so I had to lock the door, and then Get into the quilt, put your ears up to listen to the movement outside.

In fact, there was no sound at all, Zhizhi felt that her nerves were extremely sensitive, as long as someone flicked it lightly, it would probably collapse——that was how she was on the night of her grandfather's first seven days, she felt that she had fallen into a huge and dark hole. In the nightmare, he clearly knew that everything in front of him was fake and could break free, but he just couldn't wake up.Parents went downstairs to burn paper money and clothes for grandpa. She could hear clearly, but she couldn't even move her fingers.I don't know how long it took, when the footsteps of her parents approached, she managed to open her eyes, sweating profusely.

Until the sound of light footsteps came from downstairs, Zhizhi jumped up like a spring, walked to the door on tiptoe, held the phone tightly, endured it for a long time, and then opened the door—the lights were on downstairs, brightly shaking human eye.She breathed a sigh of relief, no one would be so bold as this, right?

It really wasn't a thief, Zhong Ruoxi bent down slightly and put down the keys in front of the coffee table, turned around and saw her standing in front of the bedroom door on the second floor wearing a full set of pajamas, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Is it disturbing you?"

Zhizhi took a few steps forward, "No, I thought it was a thief..."

The top of her pajamas was not buttoned properly, revealing her collarbone faintly, Zhong Ruoxi turned her eyes away from her, "I'm coming back to get some things."—Actually, I didn't come here to get things, but I just wanted to come back.

Zhizhi bit her lip, "It's early in the morning, where are you going to live?" She was really scared—"I live in your room, right? Or should I live in a guest room? It's so late."

The corners of Zhong Ruoxi's mouth slightly curled up, "Okay, I'll just live in the downstairs room."

Zhizhi nodded reassuringly, and just said "good night", and suddenly remembered that she was wearing pajamas like a rabbit, and went back to the room in a hurry.

And he stood in front of the sofa for a long time.His home, two people, is so nice.

In the coolness, it seems to remind people of all the bitterness and sweetness, freely diffused in the cold wind.

After he came back, Zhizhi slept very peacefully, woke up early in the morning to check the time, and sighed, it turned out that it was only seven o'clock.After all, it was someone else's house, so she didn't want to stay in bed. She went to wash her face and changed her clothes. She was about to open the door when she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She went back to the bathroom and wiped it carefully with paper towels. He folded it with his pajamas and held it in his hands, opened the door and looked down.

He sat at the dining table with his back to himself, looking down at the magazines. There were soy milk, porridge, fried dough sticks, steamed buns on the table, and he piled up all the breakfast that could be bought nearby.Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhong Ruoxi glanced back, and greeted her freely: "Good morning." He pointed to the table, "Come and have breakfast."

Zhizhi responded, trying her best to ignore the slightly awkward atmosphere in the air.She gestured at the clothes and said, "What about these?"

"Oh, I don't need it. Do you take it with you?" Zhong Ruoxi said with a smile, "Or you can put it here."

Zhizhi paused in the air with her hand reaching for Juice, and realized after a while: "You don't need it, I'd better take it away."

He put down the magazine in his hand and pointed to the coffee table in the living room, "Your things are all there. The key is also there." Before Zhizhi asked, he explained: "I brought it back last night. I am happy to ask someone to bring the key Give it to me——I saw it was too late, so I brought it for you by the way."

Zhizhi snorted: "They really don't want to leave."
