“... Are you alright?" Looking at Li Xing who was walking over, Li Qingqing bit her lips and didn't know what to say. In the end, she only managed to squeeze out this sentence.
"I'm not fine. I suffered a small injury." Li Xing shamelessly pointed at the small cut on his cheek. If Li Xing had not pointed it out, no one would have noticed such a small wound.
"I, I'll help you deal with it." Li Qingqing lowered her head guiltily. She had never owed anyone a favor, but now she owed this person so much.
"Here? Saliva can kill bacteria." Li Xing blurted out almost subconsciously, which surprised him.
Eh? Why did I become so glib? They had met in the same school before and had even eaten together during the academy gathering. He had clearly been speechless when he saw her at that time.
“... I have alcohol and gauze in my room." Li Qingqing was helpless against Jiang Chen's teasing. In fact, she didn't know how to get along with men.
Seeing her helpless look, Li Xing found her a little cute and couldn't help but tease her," I'm now your successor. How are you going to pay me back?" Li Xing said with a wicked smile.
"I'll pay you back with interest.”Li Qingqing lowered her head in gratitude and assured Li Xing in a certain tone. However, she immediately hesitated and said," According to the normal interest rate."”
With the usury's interest rate, she really wasn't confident that she could afford it.
Li Xing shrugged and didn't say anything. He knew very well the personality of this strong woman. Once she had set her mind on something, she would never change.
"Um, Qingqing."
"Hey!" Hearing the owner's greeting, Li Qingqing quickly turned around and responded.
"This is your salary for half a month…Although I'm very sorry, I really can't afford to offend those people. Please do me a favor…You don't have to come to work tomorrow." The boss said with difficulty. He gritted his teeth and said those very heartless words.
It was almost a pleading tone.
After receiving the envelope containing the money, Li Qingqing nodded her head in a daze. She looked at the closed flower shop and the pairs of evasive and suspicious eyes…This was the place where he had worked for half a month. For some reason, she felt like crying.
How many times had this happened today? This was the first time Li Qingqing had been so fragile.
"He was kicked out?" Jiang Chen mocked. It must be uncomfortable.
Li Qingqing ignored Jiang Chen's teasing, she just bit her lip and looked at him with a complicated expression before she turned around and headed home. Li Xing consciously followed behind because Li Qingqing had said that she would help him treat his wounds.
Although the wound was about to stop bleeding, her curiosity to see what the former landlord's place looked like still prevailed. Anyway, he was bored, wasn't he?
Hehehehe, Li Xing secretly laughed. He felt that he was really too bad. She was almost as good as Zhao Xue.
Stepping on the stairs covered in black moss, Li Xing frowned. He was surprised that there was such an old house in Wanghai. Moreover, the cracks in the wall didn't look like a place to live in.
When Li Qingqing took out the key and opened the rusty iron door, Li Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This little girl was really strong. If it were any other girl, she would definitely not be able to endure it.
———
There was a faint musty smell at the door, but it was much better after entering the door. The smell of air freshener was very obvious. It was obvious that Li Qingqing had sprayed a lot of this stuff. This method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause made him feel a little helpless.
The house was very small, much smaller than Li Xing's rented apartment. The living room and kitchen were next to each other, and there was only one bedroom that was not very spacious. There was no television in the living room. There was only a wooden table that looked old. The chairs were also very old-fashioned. Perhaps he could earn some money by selling them as antiques? There was no need to mention things like sofas and coffee tables.
There was no ceiling fan on the roof, and naturally, there was no air conditioner on the wall. There was only a fan plugged in at the corner of the wall. The most valuable electrical equipment here should be that stainless steel kettle. Did he bring it from home when he escaped from debt?
The laptop on the table should be hers, but there was obviously no wifi here. What was the use of having a laptop?
Li Xing noticed two pairs of women's shoes neatly placed at the door. It was impossible for a woman to only have two pairs of shoes. It seemed that she must have escaped here in a hurry and did not even bring a few pairs of shoes.
Although the environment was simple and crude, it was obvious that it had been cleaned carefully.
"Sorry, it's a little shabby. Sit anywhere you like." Li Qingqing said stiffly. It was the first time Li Qingqing had brought a man she was not familiar with into her house.
Even if it was her ex-boyfriend, she would always stop him at the door. Being alone with a man made her feel uncomfortable all over. Perhaps it was this excessive self-protection awareness that caused her to have no one to rely on when she was in trouble.
Then, Xia Shiyu turned around and walked into the small bedroom, taking out a bottle of medical alcohol.
"Where?" Li Qingqing asked in a low voice. Her movements and expression were very stiff. It was obvious that she was really not used to it.
"Here…You really want to…" Li Xing smiled bitterly. He had only wanted to tease this cold-faced landlady, but he did not expect her to actually take out a bottle of alcohol.
"I told you I would treat your wound.”Li Qingqing took a deep breath and moved closer to Li Xing's face.
On the other hand, Li Xing felt a little embarrassed. His hands moved back and forth as if he didn't know where to put them. He let the icy beauty in front of him hold a cotton bud dipped in alcohol and apply it to the "injured" spot.
"Don't move." Li Qingqing frowned slightly and glared at the restless Li Xing.
The fragrance of gardenia lingered around Li Xing's nose. There was no jewelry on her fair neck. Li Xing vaguely remembered that there should have been a necklace here.
In his memory, his black hair was tied up at the back of his head. However, at this moment, his long black hair was tied into a ponytail. For a moment, Li Xing was in a daze. Was this Xia Shiyu, who was dressed like a female university student who had just left the campus, still that capable urban white-collar worker?
"What…what are you looking at?" Noticing Li Xing's naked gaze, Li Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"No, it's nothing." Li Xing scratched his head awkwardly.
The wound had been treated, but their eyes met.
Time seemed to have stopped…
How awkward…
"It smells so good. Ha, haha…" Li Xing forced a smile and scratched his head, breaking the silence.
Li Qingqing was slightly stunned, and her cheeks flushed red.
“... It was the smell of gardenia. It might have been pollen from work.”Li Qingqing frowned and sniffed her sleeves. She spoke quickly, then quickly packed up the alcohol bottle and cotton swabs and hurried back to the bedroom.
Her heart was beating so fast…Suppressing her rising and falling chest, Li Qingqing stood by the bedside table and panted slightly. She looked at herself in the mirror with a complicated expression. She did not know what was wrong with her that she would lose her composure like this. Perhaps it was because this man had saved her like a divine weapon that had descended from the heavens today. When he had beaten up those gangsters, his swift and decisive skills had already been deeply imprinted in her heart.
Her heart was beating so fast…Li Xing touched his chest in surprise. This girl used to have a cold and icy face. He didn't expect her to look so good when she was shy.
Don't tell me I've fallen for this chick…
