When they opened the metal door to the 20th floor, Long Yu and Yao Ran saw Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi cleaning the frost on the corridor's floor and walls.
Seeing them coming back from downstairs, Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi said, "Elder Sister Yao Ran, Elder Brother Long Yu, good morning."
Yao Ran nodded to them and asked, "Where are the others?"
Huang Zhihui pointed outside and said, "Elder Brother Xuan noticed that Lu Hong has been making some secret movement since yesterday, so he and my elder brother went out before dawn to investigate."
Before Yao Ran could ask about Jia Xiang, Deng Qiqi said, "Elder Sister Jia Xiang said she wants to stay at home and sharpen her knife."
After saying that, they noticed the bandage on Long Yu's forehead.
Huang Zhihui's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked, "Elder Brother Long Yu, are you injured?!"
Long Yu calmly replied, "Just a small wound. It's nothing." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Since he had said so, Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi stopped talking about it. However, they were curious about how Long Yu got injured. The enemy must be very powerful to be able to injure him.
After chatting with them for a while, Yao Ran followed Long Yu to his apartment.
When the door of Unit 2002 was closed, Huang Zhihui nudged Deng Qiqi with her elbow and asked in a low voice, "Qiqi, why do I feel that there is something different between the two of them?"
Deng Qiqi followed her gaze and looked at the closed metal door of unit 2002. She then looked at Huang Zhihui and asked, "Aren't they always like this?"
Huang Zhihui clicked her tongue, rubbed her chin, and looked at the closed metal door with interest. After a moment of silence, she said, "You don't understand. I think they are secretly dating."
Deng Qiqi didn't believe her.
Although she thinks Long Yu is scary, in her heart, Yao Ran is more terrifying than him. If the two of them were together... Deng Qiqi shuddered and shook her head to clear her mind from those terrible imaginations.
Looking at Huang Zhihui's gossipy face, she sighed and continued to break the ice on the wall. At the same time, Long Yu took Yao Ran to another guest room in his apartment. He looked at her and said, "Ran Ran, can I ask you a favor?"
Yao Ran nodded, "Of course. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
On the way back, Long Yu thought about how to make Yao Ran trust him. After hours of thinking, he finally decided to leave all his wealth to her for safekeeping.
Seeing her evasive eyes, Long Yu took a few steps forward.
Smelling the scent of soap that she usually uses coming from his body, Yao then took a step back. Just when she was about to speak, Long Yu took another step closer to her.
Seeing that the distance between them was getting closer, Yao Ran took another two steps back while Long Yu also took two steps closer. In this way, Yao Ran kept retreating, and Long Yu kept approaching.
When her back touched the wall, Yao Ran raised her head and looked at Long Yu angrily. However, before she could speak, Long Yu's arms stretched out to her left and right sides and trapped her in the middle.
He lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Ran Ran, what are you afraid of?"
Yao Ran glared at him and said, "I'm not afraid."
"Then why are you avoiding me?" Long Yu asked again.
"I-"
Yao Ran clenched her hands and looked away. She couldn't answer him, so she chose silence.
