There was a violent creaking sound from the stairs. You can imagine how fast the people passing by the stairs ran. When the sound disappeared, Huo Shu looked at the bathroom door, waiting for Li Qianqian to come out.

However, after waiting for three minutes, no one was seen.

Huo Shu frowned slightly and walked to the bathroom door with a sullen face: "He's gone."

There was no movement inside.

He was silent for a moment: "I'm going to open the door." After saying that, he held the door handle and pushed the door directly in.

I saw Li Qianqian holding a broken shower head, frowning so hard that she could kill a fly.

"It's time for you to go." Huo Shu said.

Li Qianqian looked at him: "Why is the shower still broken?"

Huo Shu was silent.

Li Qianqian pursed her lips and glanced around: "The toilet flushing system has not been improved, the water pipes are still old, and even the toiletries have not been replaced..." She ran out of the bathroom before finishing her words and looked up.

I never paid attention to the air conditioner last night.

The air conditioner hanging above was still the yellowed and old broken machine from before, and there was not a single new appliance in the room. When she came in the early morning, she only focused on looking at his injuries, and she never noticed these.

She was so angry that her eyes were red. When she turned to look at Huo Shu, her tone was questioning: "...Why didn't you tell me before? You clearly knew that I had someone install new electrical appliances for you."

Huo Shu sat down indifferently: "No need."

"Of course it's necessary! I've asked you several times just about the new air conditioner," Li Qianqian took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Even if you tell me once that you didn't install it, I won't be blamed."

You lied to me for so long."

Huo Shu pursed his thin lips slightly, and his jawline became stiff.

The corners of Li Qianqian's eyes turned red. Although she pretended to be calm, she still looked terribly aggrieved: "You didn't tell me anything. You made me look like a fool jumping up and down. When I asked you if the air conditioner works well and if the cake tastes good,

When you were there, did you think I was ridiculous?"

Huo Shu said nothing.

Li Qianqian bit her lip and stood in front of him. She looked away for a while and said with a bit of disappointment: "I tried so hard to be nice to you, but it didn't work at all, right?"

"What do you think it is for?" Huo Shu finally spoke, the young man's voice was hoarse and cold, and his words were like sharp blades, "I want to be grateful for what you have done, forgive you for your so-called mistakes before, and then reconcile with each other.

?”

Li Qianqian was stunned.

"It's not necessary, you haven't sorry for me, you don't have to be nice to me on purpose, and don't force yourself to interact with me. I don't need your charity," Huo Shu said, dragging his slightly lame right leg to the door and stood there

The man at the door looked at her gloomily, "Get out."

The superficial peace was torn apart, and the air suddenly solidified.

Li Qianqian looked at him blankly, feeling that what he said was wrong, but could not find a reason to refute it.

After a moment of silence, she walked out bluntly. When she reached him, she suddenly stopped, bit her lip and said, "I didn't expect you to be so uncomfortable..."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly felt that there was no point in defending her, and staying here would only make him feel worse.

She was silent for a moment and only said: "Then remember to apply the medicine on time. I, I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, she lowered her head and left. There was a heavy creaking sound on the stairs, and it became quiet soon. It was approaching noon, and the room was stuffy and hot. There was a faint sweat on the tip of Huo Shu's nose, but he didn't.

I went to wipe it, but after the creaking sound of the stairs stopped, I sat on the floor expressionlessly.

His dark eyes showed no emotion at all, but his figure looked lonely and desolate, like a creature that had lived in darkness for a long time. Occasionally it saw the light, but was pulled back into the darkness.

Li Qianqian left the attic with a heavy heart and met Li Shen after walking a few steps.

Li Shen sweated on his forehead. When he saw her, he asked angrily: "Where have you been?! I'm about to adjust the monitoring!"

"I'm so tired. Let's go back to the room and rest first." There were dark clouds above Li Qianqian's head, and she didn't have the slightest strength to deal with Li Shen.

Li Shen was stunned for a moment, and then he saw her dejectedly bypassing him and going straight to the villa. It wasn't until her figure disappeared that Li Shen came back to his senses and looked blankly in the direction she came from... as if

Is it the attic?

Li Qianqian locked herself in the room all day, and didn't even go downstairs to eat. Her mind was filled with what Huo Shu said, and her heart felt as heavy as if a stone had fallen. Nothing was right.

At night, there was a knock on her door, and then Li Shen's voice came: "Li Qianqian, what are you doing in the cat house today?"

"It's okay, I'm just sleepy." Li Qianqian was in low spirits.

Li Shen frowned: "Is it because of those people yesterday? Don't worry, I have already found a lawyer. I will wear them to death and I will definitely take it out on you..."

"Brother, I'm sleepy." Li Qianqian interrupted him without interest.

Li Shen choked for a moment: "Why are you sleepy? You've been in the house all day, get out of here!"

As he spoke, he knocked on the door. The sound was so noisy that Li Qianqian had no choice but to open the door and looked at him helplessly: "Can't you just let me be quiet for a while?"

"Don't think about peace and quiet until you explain clearly," Li Shen looked down at her, taking advantage of his height, "Tell me, what are you doing today?"

"...Actually it's nothing," Li Qianqian lowered her head and muttered for a while, "It's just that Huo Shu said that I was good to him for a purpose, which made me feel uncomfortable."

"You have a purpose in the first place. What's wrong with this?" Li Shen was speechless. "You didn't say it yourself. Do you want to be nice to him to make yourself feel better?"

Li Qianqian was even more disappointed: "That's right..."

"If you feel uncomfortable because of this sentence, it means you don't want to leave such an impression on him. If you don't want to, then don't be nice to him in the future." Li Shen felt that this was an opportunity to persuade her to give up being nice to Huo Shu, and immediately

He grabbed it tightly and said, "I also think you have been too attentive to Huo Shu recently. This is not good and can easily burden people. You should stay away from him in the future. The further away the better, it is best not to speak when we meet...

"

"I understand," Li Qianqian, who had been absent-minded all the time, didn't know which sentence touched him, and suddenly understood, "Thank you, brother, for enlightening me."

"...I'm not trying to explain it to you. I just feel annoyed when I think of you being bored in the room." Li Shen snorted softly, "The kitchen baked a cake, do you want to eat it?"

Li Qianqian looked at him obediently: "Leave one...leave two pieces for me, I'll eat them later."

"Have you finished eating?" Li Shen wondered.

Li Qianqian nodded: "I can finish it."

"Hey, you pretended to be in a bad mood, and it didn't stop you from eating at all." Li Shen gave her a disgusted look, turned around and went downstairs.

Li Qianqian closed the door with a smile and waited patiently for half an hour. After he finished eating the cake and returned to the house, he secretly opened the door and slipped into the kitchen.

"Miss, are you here?" Sister-in-law Wu came up to her with a smile.

Li Qianqian saw her pause, and her expression instantly turned cold. Sister-in-law Wu didn't notice her emotion and diligently brought the cake to her: "Miss, your cake."

Li Qianqian took it expressionlessly, and glanced at Mrs. Wu when she turned to leave: "I'll settle your account when I get back."

Sister-in-law Wu was stunned for a moment, but before she could react, Li Qianqian took the plate and left.

It was already dark, and she walked alone to the attic carrying the cake. When she stepped on the creaking stairs, her heart seemed to creak.

When she reached the door, Li Qianqian stopped, calmed down and asked carefully: "Huo Shu, did you hear me coming?"

There was no response from the room.

She pursed her lips: "I brought you a cake, do you want to eat it?"

There was still no sound in the room, and she suddenly felt a little frustrated: "Don't you hate me very much now? If you think about it from my perspective, I seem to be quite annoying... But I want to explain that when I did something, I really didn't expect it.

I'm really sorry for bringing such a big burden to you...but I can't control it, I just want to be good to you."

There was no light on in the room separated by the door. Huo Shu sat quietly in the darkness, almost blending into the darkness.

Li Qianqian put her head against the door panel and whispered in a low voice: "Even if you say you never blamed me and I don't need to make it up to you, I still want to be good to you. I want to take the bus to school with you and have a barbecue with you."

I work with you, and I also want to help you apply medicine and give you cakes. If these things make you uncomfortable...then just bear with it, I won't stop."

She finished her declaration without much confidence, and then began the long wait.

However, after waiting for a long time and not waiting for his answer, Li Qianqian sighed softly and put the cake plate on the ground.

"I left the cake at the door, remember to take it in," Li Qianqian bit her lip after saying, "...I don't know if you will eat it, but this is really not charity. You, don't always think too much.

many."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked downstairs dejectedly. The stairs seemed to be affected by her mood, and even the creaking of the stairs no longer made them happy.

Click.

There was a knock on the door behind her, and then a familiar light shone through her body, casting her shadow slantingly on the yellow wall. Li Qianqian turned around blankly and saw Huo Shu standing in the door.

"Huo Shu..." She called him slowly.

Huo Shu looked at her expressionlessly, his eyes darker than the night, so pure and boundless: "Is the cake poisonous?"

Li Qianqian was stunned for a moment: "No."

Huo Shu's expression remained unchanged: "I don't believe it."

Although the timing and atmosphere were not right, Li Qianqian still couldn't help but laugh: "You don't think I came here in the middle of the night just to poison you, right? I even poisoned the cake I brought myself...

…”

"Come in and have a taste." Huo Shu bent down to pick up the plate, glanced at her and turned back to the house.

And the crack in the door he left was pouring light out without hesitation.

Li Qianqian blinked and followed with a serious look: "I suddenly forgot what I was doing when I took the cake. Maybe it was really poisoned. To be safe, I should take a bite first and you can do the rest.
