She didn't know how long she had been sobbing. It wasn't until Lu Qi felt a little wet on her chest that Lacey gradually stopped sobbing.

The hand on the girl's back was patted gently. Lu Qi lowered his head slightly and asked softly

"Feeling better?"

"Um…"

Although there was a response, the girl still hugged him tightly, making Lu Qi unable to move.

Lu Qi looked helpless, rolled his eyes, and deliberately looked for a topic and said:

"Are you hungry?"

"Um…"

"Then let me go get you something to eat?"

"OK."

The corner of Lu Qi's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but remind him: "Don't just say yes, you should let me go!"

Hearing this, Lacey reluctantly let go of his hands.

Just after leaving the warm embrace, Lacey noticed a pool of water on Lu Qi's chest. His face turned red and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I made your clothes wet..."

"It's okay, I'll just change it."

Going downstairs to the dressing room of the bedroom, Lu Qi took off his shirt and changed into a clean T-shirt.

Just as he was about to walk out, he seemed to have thought of something, paused, turned around, and picked up a white shirt.

Back in the living room, Lu Qi threw the shirt in his hand to Lacey and said:

"Hey, don't catch a cold later..."

Hearing this, Lacey, who was holding the shirt in his hand, was stunned for a moment, looked down at his upper body, and suddenly realized what he was doing.

Because she was running at night, she only wore a pink sports vest on her upper body. If you look closely, you can even see the white skin that cannot be covered.

The night temperature in Los Santos has dropped significantly compared to the daytime. Even indoors, you can still feel a slight chill.

Putting on her shirt obediently and looking at Lu Qi busy in the kitchen, Lacey felt warm in her heart and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice:

"This guy looks cold, but he's actually quite attentive..."

Lu Qi took out some mushrooms, fruits and vegetables from the refrigerator, and planned to make a simple vegetable soup to warm the frightened Lacey's stomach.

While I was putting away the ingredients, a bell suddenly rang in my trouser pocket.

Not paying attention to Lacey's distant gaze, Lu Qi casually took out his phone, swiped on the screen, and put it to his ear:

"Hello?"

"Hey, buddy, I've been waiting for you in the gym for half an hour, and I almost broke the equipment. Why haven't you shown up yet?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi glanced at Lacey on the sofa with his peripheral vision and responded casually:

"I have a small situation here. I may not be able to go tonight. I'm sorry."

"Slight situation? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just have some things to deal with. Can we make an appointment another day?"

"No problem, brother."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qi put the phone aside and continued cooking.

At the same time, Lacey, who was sitting on the sofa, was thinking a lot.

Although she heard all Lu Qi's words, she didn't know that the person on the other end of the phone was a man.

For a time, countless thoughts filled her mind:

"He has a date? Is the other person a boy or a girl? At this time? Why?"

At that moment, even she didn't know why she cared so much about Lu Qi.

Obviously this is the second time the two have met...

Or maybe in just a few days, Lu Qi had helped her out twice like a heroic knight; or maybe there was a kind and warm heart beneath Lu Qi's cold surface, which made her feel deeply

sense of security.

Unconsciously, she had already developed a crush on this Asian young man.

It wasn't until Lu Qi put a steaming pot of vegetable and mushroom soup in front of her that the girl ended her complicated thoughts.

"Let's have something to eat..."

Pick up the spoon, scoop up a mouthful of thick soup, and put it into your mouth.

The next second, the warm soup slowly flowed down the throat and entered the stomach. Lacey instantly felt warm all over.

"Hmm...I didn't expect his cooking to be quite delicious..."

Muttering in her heart, she did not forget to put spoonfuls of soup into her mouth.

Seeing Lacey drinking soup without saying a word, Lu Qi just sat there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, sparse raindrops suddenly appeared in the sky outside the window.

This sudden night rain became heavier and heavier, and gradually turned into a "swishing" heavy rain.

The raindrops slapped rapidly on the wooden floor and roof of the balcony, like playing a symphony, melodious and moving.

Standing up and closing the slightly open floor-to-ceiling windows, Lu Qi turned on the electric fireplace to make the temperature in the room slightly warmer.

Sitting back on the sofa again, Lu Qi glanced at the empty pot that had been emptied at the speed of light, and said to Lacey with an indifferent expression:

"I'm afraid this rain won't stop for a while. When it stops, I will drive you home."

Hearing this, Lacey put down the spoon and paused for a moment. Then, she looked into Lu Qi's eyes with her blue eyes.

"I..."

Seeing Lacey's hesitant expression, Lu Qi was a little confused and then asked:

"What's wrong?"

It seemed that he had already made a decision in his heart, and said in a decisive tone:

"I don't want to go back."

"Huh? Why?"

"I'm alone at home, scared..."

For a girl who had just experienced a stalker attack, her reasons for not wanting to go home were so good that Lu Qi was speechless.

Noticing that Lu Qi was lost in thought, Lacey immediately put on a charming and delicate look, raised a finger, and looked at Lu Qi expectantly:

"Can I sleep at your place for one night and go home tomorrow?"

Afraid that Lu Qi would disagree, Lacey clasped his hands together, blinked his big watery eyes, and said softly:

"Please, just for one night!"

Lu Qi did not reply immediately, but looked at the pouring rain outside the window before agreeing:

"Whatever you want, there are plenty of rooms anyway..."

After a pause, Lu Qi continued: "But, do you want to tell your agent or something..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lacey, who looked delighted, immediately interrupted:

"No, I have no schedule tomorrow morning and she won't come to see me."

"By the way, can I borrow the bathroom? I'm a little sweaty and I want to take a shower..."

"It's the second room on the left downstairs."

"Thank you!"

Seeing Lacey's brisk figure as he went downstairs, Lu Qi twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a slight wry smile:

"You're really welcome..."

...

Rumble…

Lu Qi was lying on the bed, half asleep and half awake. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he was woken up by a thunder that sounded like a thunder in his ears.

Turning over, he looked at the heavy rain still pouring outside the window. Just as Lu Qi was about to close his eyes and fall asleep again, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Accompanied by Lacey's low voice:

"Alex, are you asleep?"

Taking a deep breath, Lu Qi lifted the quilt. With a look of helplessness on his face, Lu Qi stood up, walked to the door, and opened the door:

"what happened again?"

I saw Lacey, who was only wearing a white shirt, with messy blond hair hanging on her shoulders, holding a pillow in her arms, leaning against the door, looking at Lu Qi pitifully:

"Thunder makes me scared alone and I can't sleep..."

Looking the girl up and down, Lu Qi couldn't help but sigh and asked:

"What do you want?"
