Although Yan Su rarely spoke to her neighbors, she bumped into them several times while coming in and out of the building. The household seemed to have bought the flat, and the three of them stayed there for many years. Now they were suddenly renovating. Could it be they sold the house and moved out?
She held doubts while opening the door to her apartment. She hadnât been back in days and Luosang wasnât around either. The house was a bit empty.
Since Yan Su sat on the plane and in the car for many hours, she was tired. She couldnât be bothered to even unpack her luggage before sprawling on the bed to sleep.
She slept deeply for an unknown time, but she was woken up by a call from Luosang. âAre you back?â
âYes.â
âSo, you were sleeping?â Luosang could immediately tell from her voice. âShouldnât you be having dinner at this time?â
âNow that you mention it, I am a little hungry,â Yan Su said.
She just didnât feel like cooking, living by herself.
âThere is still some food in the refrigerator. You can make a few simple dishes,â Luosang said. âIf it isnât for Junting watching over me, I would have been able to come over to accompany you tonight.â
âDonât. Itâs better that you accompany Mr. Nian, else he might kill me,â Yan Su said jokingly.
âAll right, take good care of yourself.â Luosang was mainly worried that her thoughts would be running wild when she was alone and bored.
She wasnât sure about other people, but since Yan Su broke up, she turned into a workaholic. Especially since Yan Su didnât have her family near.
âAll right.â Yan Su laid down again after hanging up the phone, but she couldnât help remembering Shi Xiangâs face and her heart ached.
She forced herself to stop thinking and sleep for a while longer. Next door, thumping sounds could be heard once more. She got up and looked at the time. It was already past 6:00 pm. Were they crazy? Renovating at such a late hour.
Yan Su got up gloomily and made two simple dishes. The sound from next door got even louder.
When she couldnât take the noise anymore, she opened the door to her neighborâs place. When she entered, she was approached by a tall figure clad in pale blue ripped jeans, yellow and white striped shirt and white shoes.
She looked at his face. The lines of his features were sharp and well-defined. Beneath long slanted brows were a pair of eyes sharp like the stars in winter. His nose was tall, well-shaped and his thin, pale lips were very pretty.
The light that shone from above his head enclosed his person. He was dazzling to the eyes.
Where did this bewitching man come from?
Yan Su always thought that Shi Xiang was very handsome, but the face of the boy in front of her was so perfect that she couldnât pick out a single flaw. In addition, he had a big stature and faultless charisma. The watch with a brown leather strap on his wrist also indicated a prominent family background.
Yan Su felt this person looked familiar. There seemed to be some similarities with Luosang.
While Yan Su stared at him in a daze, Mo Liuxi broke the silence first. Only, his intonation had a slight roll of the tongue, indicating an unfamiliarity to Mandarin.
âIs there an issue?â
Yan Su shifted her gaze and was shocked to see a hole in the wall beside him. âHow could you do this to someone elseâs house...â
âI bought the whole place.â Mo Liuxi assessed her. She had raven black hair and a small pretty face. While digging up information on his sister, he remembered his sister was staying with a girl.
âDo you stay at 901?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yan Su nodded. âI remember both of these units had residents. Did they move out at the same time?â
Mo Liuxi said nonchalantly, âMm, this is the best residential area near Ximei University. I thought this house had a good position but the rooms are too small, so I spent some money to buy the adjacent flat from the landlord too.â
