The opening of the door gave Xu Momo a shock. She screamed and lost her balance, falling through the door.
She first felt that she had bumped into a warm body, and a faint smell of lemon-flavored washing powder entered her nose.
She subconsciously raised her hand to grab the person's clothes, but the person suddenly retreated. Xu Momo missed and fell to the floor with a bang. At the same time, she heard the mechanical keyboard under her make a soft click.
Xu Momo felt her chest hurt from the keyboard box. She looked up and happened to see a pair of naked people wearing black slippers. Her bare feet were standing in front of him, and the dark gray pants covered her feet, revealing her toes that were neatly trimmed.
The other party just stood there and looked at her without moving.
She clutched her aching chest and could not help but feel a little angry. This guy must have dodged on purpose just now!
She supported herself with one hand and was about to stand up when she suddenly saw a fair and slender hand appear in front of her. The hand opened up and reached toward her.
For some reason, the anger in Xu Momo's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Moreover, she was also at fault for what happened just now. She shouldn't have leaned against the door to eavesdrop on someone else's room. It was probably just a conditioned reflex for the other party to avoid her.
"…Thank you." Xu Momo grabbed the hand, only to find that it was surprisingly warm.
The moment Xu Momo grabbed the hand, the hand suddenly twitched as if it wanted to escape from her hand, but in the end, it held her hand tightly and pulled her up from the ground. The palm of that hand was soft and warm, making people feel very comfortable.
After standing up, Xu Momo saw those dark eyes again.
The moment she saw that face, Xu Momo was slightly stunned.
He could still vaguely make out the face of the pretty little boy in the photo, but the edges and corners of his face were more distinct and his skin was paler. His hair was as messy as the last time Xu Momo saw him. A few strands of curly bangs covered his forehead, revealing a pair of almost pure black eyes.
He didn't look in Xu Momo's direction. Instead, he turned his head slightly and looked over Xu Momo's shoulder, staring at a game poster on the wall. The buttons on his pajamas were very tight, even the top button of his collar was buttoned up. The stubble on his chin was cleanly shaved. Other than his messy hair, he did not look like an otaku who did not go out for a long time.
Xu Momo stared at his face. She suddenly realized that his face was a little haggard, his eyes were a little red, the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious, and his lips were a little dry and pale. He looked a little sick. This was probably the result of a lack of sleep.
Just as Xu Momo was staring at him, the other party suddenly frowned and pulled his hand back from Xu Momo's palm. Then, he slowly wiped his sweat on his pajama pants.
Xu Momo didn't notice his little action. She picked up the keyboard from the ground." Oh right, quick, check if your keyboard is broken.”
She handed the keyboard to Xu Rui. Xu Rui hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take the keyboard. He connected the keyboard to the computer and started typing quickly.
Xu Momo stood there and waited for a while. She spent some time observing Xu Rui's room.
She had always thought that otaku men's rooms were messy and filled with junk and figurines, and they smelled of sweat. However, Xu Rui's room was completely different. It could even be said that it was a little too clean.
There were very few furnishings in his room. There was only a wardrobe, a bookshelf, a set of tables and chairs, and a bed. The bookshelves were neatly packed with books, and they were carefully arranged according to their thickness. The quilt on the bed was folded neatly, and there were no wrinkles on the snow-white sheets. It looked like a hotel. There were only a few dark-colored loungewear hanging on the simple hanger next to the wardrobe, and a few pairs of slippers were neatly placed under the rack.
She also noticed that there was a small incense burner next to Xu Rui's computer. A faint fragrance of essential oil floated in the air. It smelled like lemon. It was probably Xu Rui's order to refresh himself.
Xu Momo stood rooted to the ground for a while. She suddenly remembered that the delivery man was still waiting at the door.
"I'll go and talk to the courier. He's still waiting at the door. I'll give him the receipt after you sign for it.”she said.
However, Xu Rui did not say anything.
Xu Momo didn't care because Xu Rui hadn't said a word to her yet. She had an otaku cousin who played games at home every day in high school. That cousin was also a man of few words.
When she returned to Xu Rui's room, she found that his door was already closed. A signed express delivery form was lying quietly at his door. The word "Xu Rui" was written on the form in regular script.
Xu Momo was a little surprised because she rarely saw anyone sign in regular script. Moreover, compared to her own horizontal and vertical Chinese characters, Xu Rui's words were much more beautiful. Xu Momo couldn't help but admire the fact that someone who had been typing on a computer for a long time could still write such a font.

After returning to school, Xu Momo turned on her computer and saw that " Squatting at Home " was indeed online.
Since the other party already knew her identity, she decided not to pretend not to know him anymore. So she opened the dialog box and wrote: "Xu Rui, did you break your keyboard?”
After a while, he replied,""The F1 key is not working."
" 0.0 for real?!"
She waited for a while, but Xu Rui did not reply.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. What type of keyboard is it?" Xu Momo typed. At the same time, she secretly calculated the remaining living expenses for this month. The conclusion was that it should be more than enough to buy a keyboard.
Xu Rui quickly sent a model number. Xu Momo searched online and found that the average price of the keyboard was 1799 yuan.
Xu Momo was stunned.
Alright, even if she was just an ignorant tycoon, was a keyboard…really that expensive?!
At present, she only had 500 yuan left in her bank card. Although she came from a good family, she had been taught to be thrifty since she was young. Her father only gave her 1,200 yuan for living expenses every month. Unless there were special circumstances, he would never give her a single cent more. Although the prices in B City weren't low, she didn't spend much money. 1,200 yuan was more than enough for her.
But where did Xu Rui get so much money to buy a keyboard? According to Doctor Xu, Xu Rui's living expenses were earned by his own writing. However, the data of that pure love novel was not good, and that avatar had never written any popular articles. She suddenly realized that she might have made a mistake from the beginning. Xu Rui might not have told her his real identity at all! How could a full-time writer only update one chapter a week, and the numbers were so bleak?
However, now was not the time to investigate Xu Rui's identity. Xu Momo hesitated for a moment before typing: "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was so expensive. I'll pay for it next month, okay?”
"No need." Xu Rui replied. After a few seconds, he added,"I fixed it."
Xu Momo almost flipped the table. Couldn't you have said that earlier?
That night," Nightfall " resumed updating. The comments section immediately boiled over, immersed in the cheers of " Pu Da Xi Ben ". It was only a day of interruption, but it was enough to cause a commotion in the comments section and Weihe Forum. Many people even went to Weibo and created a hot topic. From this, one could see how popular " Twilight " was.
Unfortunately, Lux himself did not have a Weibo account. Otherwise, his Weibo and private messages would have been bombarded with comments from his fans last night. He was a very low-key person. Even his self-introduction in the column only had four words: " Thank you for your support." Many people on the forum boasted that he had Lux's QQ number, but it turned out that those numbers were fake.
Xu Momo stared at the latest chapter of Twilight, but her mind was thinking about something else.
She began to connect the recent events.
First of all, Xu Rui did not tell her his real identity. Secondly, Xu Rui seemed to be very interested in Lux's internal affairs. The news was very clear: the day Xu Rui's keyboard broke, Lux stopped updating, and after Xu Rui bought a new keyboard, Twilight updated a new chapter that night. Moreover, Xu Rui was also a fan of western fantasy and a full-time writer.
Right, there was one more thing. Xu Rui had never left the house, and Lux had never appeared in public. He had not appeared at the Weihe Network Author Conference last year and the year before…
Thinking of this, an unbelievable conclusion appeared in Xu Momo's mind-Xu Rui was Lux!
