She couldn't help but think of the plot in the horror movie - there was a knock on the door in the middle of the night, and the protagonist looked out of the door through the peephole, but suddenly he saw an enlarged ghost face...
Boom, boom, boom!
At this time, the knock on the door rang again.
Xie Yuqing forced herself to calm down, stood on tiptoes and looked out of the cat's eye.
There was no horrific scene in the fantasy, just a white waitress-looking woman holding a fruit cutting plate and standing in front of the door politely.
Xie Yuqing asked cautiously through the door, "Who is it?"
"The fruit your friend ordered has arrived." The waitress replied loudly.
friend?
Although she was a little suspicious, the two points of "waiter" and "female" were enough to make her lower her guard and open the door.
The waitress smiled and handed her the fruit cutting plate in her hand.
Xie Yuqing subconsciously caught it, but was a little confused, "I didn't order any fruit."
Wow——
Suddenly, the sound of glass breaking from before sounded again behind her.
Xie Yuqing was startled. Just as she was about to turn her head to look, her arm was grabbed by the waitress in front of her.
The waitress showed her a big smile and said, "Madam, your friend ordered this for you."
"Who? Did you leave a name?" Xie Yuqing's attention was indeed attracted.
"Aric."
Hearing this name, Xie Yuqing was a little overwhelmed.
But the waitress glanced quickly behind her, then said to her with a smile, "Madam, please go to bed early, excuse me."
By the time Xie Yuqing came to her senses, the other party had already closed the door for her.
"..."
what's the situation?
Xie Yuqing stared at the door for a while, then returned to the inner room hesitantly holding the fruit slices in her hands.
However, as soon as she put the plate on the table, she suddenly felt something strange in her peripheral vision. She turned her head and looked over, only to find that the curtains on the side of the wall had automatically moved without wind, and one corner was hanging on the armrest of the sofa.
She couldn't help but be startled.
The curtains just now...were they like this?
Xie Yuqing subconsciously thought of the strange cracking sound, but she couldn't put these two unrelated things together.
What's more, the waitress's expression was very calm just now, and she obviously didn't hear the commotion.
Maybe she was too worried.
But Aric...
How did he know she lived here?
They also gave people fruits...
Apples, oranges, kiwis, blackberries... they are all things she doesn't like to eat, absolutely amazing.
Xie Yuqing hesitated for a moment, took out her phone and wanted to ask, but found that Aric was online three minutes ago.
【Aric Russell:Why do you ask?】
He didn't answer her question, but asked instead, seeming a little wary.
But yes, they have never met each other, but she often asks questions that touch the bottom line of privacy. It is abnormal not to suspect.
Regarding this situation, Xie Yuqing decided to adapt to the situation and get straight to the point.
[Vita Xie: Well... here's the thing, didn't I ask you to help me investigate Jinkuo Villa before? Actually, it was because I found out that my identity had been stolen, but I just found out today that that nursing home seems to be
Does your family run it? Do you know about this?】
She asked straightforwardly but not sharply. Her wording put the other party in an uninformed position, thus avoiding possible embarrassment.
However, she thought she asked a clever question, but Aric's reaction was——
[Aric Russell: Did someone around you tell you today? 】
Xie Yuqing was a little confused.
The people around her today?
Why is it so convoluted?
However, has he discovered Zhong Yao?
Xie Yuqing typed tentatively:
【Vita Xie:Who are you talking about?】
After sending this sentence, she glanced up at the chat history out of habit, and suddenly felt like laughing.
The content of the two of them's chats was actually not answering rhetorical questions, testing each other, and pulling each other's buttons.
It's really interesting, this Aric.
Although she already knew that he was a certain noble, and even that family might not be that simple, Xie Yuqing had an optimistic and positive attitude towards Aric himself.
Because she was the one who took the initiative to join the family in the first place.
