Zhou Xuanxuan, who was drinking coffee in the cafe, was stunned.
"I have a home to go to, so why would I stay in a hotel? Yaoyao, be honest. Are you hiding something from me?”
Chen Yao hurriedly replied," What can I hide from you? It's like this. The landlord just called me."”
"It's said that our neighborhood, the building we live in, will be undergoing equipment maintenance tonight. There will be a power outage from 10 pm to 9 am the next day.”
"Ah?"
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Xuanxuan let out an incredulous voice.
Then, he said," It can't be. Why don't I check it when I'm not at home during the day? Why do I check it when I get home at night? Besides, it's not easy to check the equipment at night, right?"”
Chen Yao explained," This isn't the first time we've had our community's equipment repaired. Didn't we do it once when we first moved in? That time was during the day. This time, it might be because everyone is at home during the weekend and it's inconvenient to have a power outage during the day, so we can only choose to do it after ten o'clock.”
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Xuanxuan replied with a soft " Mm."
"What about you? You want to stay in a hotel? Why don't you come with me?"”
Chen Yao explained helplessly," I... I've already moved into the school dormitory. I've already washed up and gone to bed. It's my fault. I should have informed you earlier."”
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Xuanxuan was silent for a moment.
"If that's the case, then I'll go back to the school and stay in the dormitory. Why do I have to stay in a hotel? It's a waste of money.”
Chen Yao smiled and said,"That's good. You can go to the dormitory too."”
The two of them chatted for a while.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yao gently rubbed her chest. This feeling of having a guilty conscience was really not good.
In fact, she had never lied since she was young, but ever since she met Lin Rui, she realized that she seemed to be lying more and more.
And all these lies started because of the first lie.
He couldn't stop now.
He turned to look at Lin Rui, who was still sleeping soundly on the sofa.
Chen Yao could only sigh softly and return to her room.
At this moment, Zhou Xuanxuan, who was in the cafe, drank the entire cup of coffee. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
She analyzed the situation carefully.
First, why did Chen Yao suddenly want to go shopping alone last night?
Secondly, why did he have to go home after 10 pm?
Third, why did he have to go out and check the equipment?
Fourth, and most importantly, he was the one who signed the contract with the landlord when he rented this apartment.
He had Chen Yao's phone number, but the landlord should have contacted him first. Why didn't he receive a call from the landlord?
After a brief deduction of the four suspicious points, Zhou Xuanxuan finally came to a very terrifying conclusion:
" Chen Yao is lying. It's very likely that there's a suspicious person in the house. Moreover, this suspicious person is in the house right now. The reason why Chen Yao doesn't let me go home is-"
"This suspicious person is very likely to stay at home at night.”
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuanxuan was no longer in the mood to drink coffee. After paying the bill, she directly went home.
……
It was ten o'clock at night.
Chen Yao turned off the lights in the living room.
She had already tacitly agreed that Lin Rui would sleep here tonight.
Seeing that he was still sound asleep, Chen Yao felt slightly relieved.
She was not going to remove her makeup tonight. She would sleep with this ugly look.
After all, if Lin Rui suddenly woke up at night and knocked on the door to look for her, she would have to face him.
Although she didn't remove her makeup, she had to take a shower.
The weather was still very hot, and she was sweating a little today. For a girl like Chen Yao who loved cleanliness, not taking a shower was a kind of torture.
Not eating for a day was fine, but not bathing for a day was absolutely not allowed.
Not long after, Chen Yao took a few sets of clothes and walked into the bathroom.
The sound of running water began to flow from the bathroom.
At this moment, Lin Rui, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, was suddenly woken up by a piercing sound.
He suddenly opened his eyes, but he couldn't see anything.
It turned out that Chen Yao had put a blindfold over her eyes.
Soon, he took off his blindfold.
" Host's current environment detected."
"I will now give the host the following two choices.”
" 1. Continue to sleep until dawn. Reward: 1000 yuan.”
"2. Breaking into Chen Yao's bathroom and saying goodnight to her will reward you with three Panamera supercar lottery cards (Note: The chance of winning was as high as 80%.）”
Lin Rui was shocked.
This was the most challenging choice in history.
The challenge was so thrilling.
And the reward was so hard to refuse.
