When the car arrived at the gate of the community, Xiang Huan asked Xiao Wu to stop without driving in.
She pushed the car door open a crack, looked back at Narino and said she could just go in, and then got out of the car.
Cheng Ye also went down from behind to follow Xiang Huan and asked Xiao Wu to wait for him.
It was Xiao Wu's first time here, and he had too little known information in his head. He still hadn't figured out why they came here, so he could only guess that this was another property owned by one of them.
Xiao Wu parked the car and got out. Just as he was about to smoke a cigarette, a WeChat message from Cheng Hong came in on his phone, asking him where he and Cheng Ye were.
Why did this question come to him? Xiao Wu looked at WeChat and frowned, took a screenshot and sent it to Chengye, asking him how to answer.
When Narino saw WeChat, he and Xiang Huan had just gotten out of the elevator and arrived at the door of the neighbor's house above the "Bird Cage".
Xiang Huan pressed the code and opened the door. He turned around and said good night to Chengye who followed him, and walked into the house.
Chengye raised his hand to block the door that was about to be closed, and finally asked Xiang Huan how he had the password of someone else's house. He needed a reasonable explanation.
"It's just the friendly relationship between neighbors. Don't think too much, don't think too much. Go back quickly. Someone is still waiting for you." Xiang Huan said as he began to take off his shoes.
What she said was basically true. Xu Jiandong took the initiative to leave the password for the door to her, the day before the car accident.
Xu Jiandong would occasionally come here to stay for a night, so he simply added things to the house that met the most basic living requirements. The bed, sofa and table were all purchased at special prices at Xiang Huan's store.
Because of this, he told Xiang Huan the password and told Xiang Huan that if he needed to come over occasionally, he could stay at his place for one night.
"Then please be safe, I'm leaving." Narino stood at the door
He looked around inside and had no intention of going back in. He told Xiang Huan and left.
After closing the door, Xiang Huan leaned his back against the cement wall and let out a long sigh.
This was the first time she came in after people could live here. After looking around, she realized that Xu Jiandong should have lived here.
She sat on the classic single sofa in her store and sent Xu Jiandong a WeChat greeting, fearing that it would be bad if he came over tonight by chance.
Xu Jiandong replied quickly. He first responded with a dumbfounded expression, and then said that he was at the entrance of the supermarket behind the community. He bought something and really planned to come over tonight.
Xiang Huan looked at WeChat and smiled. Is it really such a coincidence?
Just as he was thinking about what to do, Xu Jiandong sent another WeChat message. This time he was worried and asked what happened. Xiang Huan should be practicing well now, so why did he come here in the middle of the night.
This is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences on WeChat. Xiang Huan replied that we will talk about it when you arrive, and asked Xu Jiandong to bring her a bottle of sparkling water.
In less than ten minutes, Xu Jiandong pressed the code to open the door and enter the house, carrying a large plastic bag in his hand.
Xiang Huan was washing her hands in the bathroom. When she heard the door open, she shouted where she was. Xu Jiandong came over with the sparkling water she asked for.
"What happened?" Xu Jiandong asked after looking at Xiang Huan's face.
Xiang Huan wiped his hands dry and said there was nothing wrong. He just suddenly thought about it. He didn't expect Xu Jiandong to be here by such a coincidence.
"I'll be leaving in a moment. You've arranged this place very well." Xiang Huan took the sparkling water, opened it, walked back to the sofa and sat down.
Xu Jiandong sat on the bed opposite him and continued to look at Xiang Huan up and down. He probably didn't believe what she said.
thing.
"Let me show you my design plan. This is the rendering." Xiang Huan pulled out the design rendering of the "Bird Cage" from his phone, trying to divert his attention.
Xu Jiandong looked at two pictures and asked if the renderings were made by Narino.
"He did it. After two months of studying intermittently, let's see how he can still make a living." Xiang Huan said this, but in fact, he felt that Chengye had done a good job.
As a novice with no academic background, it is really okay.
"He really has some talent in this area. Does he know when you come here?" Xu Jiandong was still looking at the renderings made by Narino.
"I know, he sent me here
. "
Before the words were spoken, there was a knock on the door, and the two people looked over there at the same time.
Because the house has not been officially renovated, the video doorbell here does not work yet, and you cannot see who is outside.
Xu Jiandong signaled Xiang Huan to be silent. He walked to the door and listened for the noise. When there was another knock on the door outside, he asked in a low voice who it was.
After a few seconds of silence outside the door, Xu Jiandong heard the response, "I'm looking for Xiang Huan."
It's a man's voice.
Xu Jiandong turned to look at Xiang Huan, already guessing who was knocking on the door.
"Looking for me?" Although Xiang Huan didn't hear what the people outside said clearly, he had already thought of the greatest possibility just now.
It should be that Narino left and came back again.
Xu Jiandong nodded to her, stood aside, and waited for Xiang Huan to come over before lowering his voice and saying that the person outside the door directly told her to look for her, it should be Cheng Ye.
Xiang Huan nodded and moved his lips to say something, but was blocked by another knock on the door.
Xu Jiandong was about to turn around and walk away when Xiang Huan grabbed him and opened the door.
doorway
Sure enough, it was Cheng Ye, carrying a bag in his hand. It could be seen that there were several bottles of sparkling water like Xiang Huan loved to drink.
None of the three people inside or outside the door spoke.
"I'm here to bring water to Xiang Huan, please come in." Finally, Xu Jiandong spoke first, stepped aside to make way, and called Cheng Ye to come in.
Chengye didn't look at Xiang Huan, but looked at Xu Jiandong for several seconds before saying that he was here to deliver water.
After saying that, he handed the bag in his hand without moving his feet. It was unclear who was going to pick up the bag. It was right between Xiang Huan and Xu Jiandong.
Xiang Huan glanced at the bag, Xu Jiandong also glanced at it and then continued talking to Chengye, showing no intention of taking over.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became subtle.
Xiang Huan knew that someone must have misunderstood the scene in front of her, but she gritted her teeth and refused to explain. She reached out to pick up the bag and said thank you first.
"You're welcome." Narino responded quickly, his tone as calm as if he was talking to a stranger.
He handed the bag to Xiang Huan, turned around and walked to the elevator with lowered eyebrows, without saying anything else.
After the elevator door closed and closed, Xiang Huan still stood at the door in a daze.
Xu Jiandong reached out and took the bag of things from her hand. When he raised his eyes to talk to her, he saw Xiang Huan's eyes were misty and his lips were tightly pressed into a line, trying not to cry.
"I can explain to him." Xu Jiandong said nothing to comfort him.
Xiang Huan had no reaction. He reached out to close the door and sat back on the sofa. He opened the sparkling water and drank it all in one gulp.
At the end of the drink, I choked and coughed, and my tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Xu Jiandong came over and handed her some tissues, but he didn't move.
Come over and give Xiang Huan a pat on the back or do something else, keeping a little distance and watching her slowly calm down.
Xiao Wu sent Xiang Huan a WeChat message and asked if he would wait for her to take her home.
At first glance, he knew that he was asking for someone. Xiang Huan wiped his tears and replied that no, she would stay here tonight.
Xiao Wu made no move again.
