Chapter 41: Spending the night at He Bailu for the first time (please follow up)
Lin Qin looked puzzled as he listened to what Du Qingling said.
He asked: "What's wrong?"
He Bailu seemed not to want to mention this matter.
So she said to Du Qingling: "Okay, Qingling, it's okay."
Du Qingling ignored He Bailu and began to say vividly: "Brother, you don't know, last night there was a drunk man who kept knocking on the door of our house, kept knocking, and then pried the door open."
When Lin Qin heard this, he looked at He Bailu and asked, "Sister Lu, are you okay?"
He Bailu forced a smile and pretended to be calm and said: "It's okay, don't listen to Qing Ling's embarrassment. He just knocked on the door a few times and then left."
"Am I adding fuel to the fire?!" Du Qingling interrupted: "If someone knocked on my door late at night, I would be scared to death."
She then looked at Lin Qin with a hint of questioning: "Brother, where did you go last night?"
"I'm back to school." Lin Qin explained.
"What kind of school are you going to go to? You rented this place, then left the room here, and went back to the dormitory to live?" Du Qingling suggested: "You can sleep here tonight, and I will sleep here too.
If that drunk man comes again tonight, we will call the police tonight."
He Bailu said helplessly: "Qingling, Xiao Qin will sleep wherever he wants. You go back to your place tonight. It's not as mysterious as you said."
Du Qingling insisted: "What if the drunk man comes again?"
He Bailu said calmly: "Of course I will call the police, don't worry."
Originally, Du Qingling wanted to persuade her again, but then a phone rang.
Her boss asked her to go back and work overtime.
In desperation, Du Qingling had no choice but to leave early.
Before leaving, she looked at Lin Qin and whispered: "Brother, Sister Lu is your landlord, you can't ignore her."
Seeing that Du Qingling was still talking, He Bailu pushed her out of the house and urged: "Your boss is looking for you, let's go."
After finally sending her away, He Bailu breathed a sigh of relief.
She then turned to look at Lin Qin and explained: "Don't listen to her nonsense, it'll be fine."
After saying that, He Bailu returned to the sofa.
Lin Qin came over.
He asked tentatively: "Sister Lu, how long has that drunk man been staying outside the door?"
He Bailu thought for a while and replied: "About a few minutes."
"Didn't you plan to call the police at that time?" Lin Qin asked.
"Originally I wanted to call the police, but then he left, so I didn't call the police." He Bailu was worried that Lin Qin would think too much, so she asked him to relax: "It's okay, I guess he went to the wrong house and knocked the wrong number."
Lin Qin nodded and could only say: "It should be."
But he looked at He Bailu's eyes and knew that she must have been scared last night.
So Lin Qin planned to sleep here tonight.
After making sure no one comes to harass you again, go back to school.
He Bailu seemed to have guessed what Lin Qin was thinking.
She then said: "Xiao Qin, if you want to go and do some work, go ahead. I guess that man won't come tonight either."
Lin Qin smiled and said: "I am a college student, how can I be so busy?"
"By the way, Sister Lu, do you want to go to the cafe opposite the community for a drink?"
Perhaps because he wanted to relax, He Bailu agreed.
She followed Lin Qin out of the community and came to the cafe.
According to their previous habits, the two sat back down at the same table where they sat at the same table for the first time.
Order two cups of coffee and start killing time.
In the evening, He Bailu suggested that Lin Qin come to his house for dinner.
So the two returned home again.
Lin Qin watched her skillfully tie her hair into a bun, wear an apron, and wash vegetables and chop meat.
For a moment, I couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
Maybe this is what life will be like in the future.
Naturally, he was not idle either. Taking advantage of this time, he replaced the bucket in the water dispenser and then cleaned up.
He Bailu was in the kitchen watching him busy outside, and wanted to say something.
But in the end, I still cut the vegetables silently.
Before long, a homely meal was ready.
During the meal, Lin Qin also said to He Bailu: "Sister Lu, I may have to go out to buy some goods later. I may not be able to go back to the dormitory, so I have to rest here tonight."
After hearing this, He Bailu didn't have much emotion. She explained: "You rented a room from me. You can rest here as long as you want to, as long as you pay the rent on time every month."
Lin Qin also smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely pay the rent on time every month."
He finished his meal quickly and then stood up and left.
Soon, He Bailu was the only one in the room.
She was working on the computer as usual.
Although it was about the same as usual, when I thought about Lin Qin sleeping here tonight, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.
She knew that Lin Qin must have temporarily decided to rest here tonight because of the incident with the drunk man last night.
This also made He Bailu feel a little more guilty.
【Let’s cook one more dish next time.】
This is the best way for He Bailu to compensate Lin Qin.
As for Lin Qin.
He didn't go to buy the goods.
In fact, the previous shipment has been enough for more than half a month.
He just found an excuse to waste time in the evening, and then go back to Zijin Community and enter the room as a matter of course.
When I think of sleeping at He Bailu's place for the first time.
Lin Qin felt a little nervous.
Wandering on the street, he came to a milk tea shop.
Considering that drinking milk tea at night may not allow you to sleep.
He finally ordered two cups of fruit tea.
At about ten o'clock, Lin Qin returned to the Bauhinia Community carrying fruit tea.
While riding in the elevator, he also paid attention to the people around him.
Guess where the drunken man was last night.
However, the probability of being drunk and crazy for two consecutive nights is still very small.
So Lin Qin felt that the drunk man would not come again tonight.
But he could take advantage of this opportunity and successfully stay in He Bailu for one night.
As long as there is the first time, the second time, and the third time, she can adapt to this kind of cohabitation life.
After a while, he took out the key and opened the door.
Perhaps because of last night's experience, He Bailu chose to work on the computer in the living room this time.
So when she heard movement outside the door, she couldn't help but have an extra thought.
It wasn't until Lin Qin opened the door and walked in that He Bailu calmed down a little.
"Sister Lu, I bought a cup of fruit tea for you." After saying that, Lin Qin handed the fruit tea to He Bailu.
He Bailu said: "Thank you, how much does this cup cost? I'll give it to you."
"No need, I've been trying to make ends meet for you these two days. This cup of fruit tea will be used as cooking money. Just don't mind it." Lin Qin laughed.
When He Bailu saw this, he didn't ask for money.
She took a sip and continued working.
Lin Qin did not disturb He Bailu for the rest of the day. Instead, he sat on the sofa and played with his mobile phone, thinking that it was almost time to take a shower and go to bed.
Just when he was about to use his cell phone and go back to his room to get his clothes, there was another rapid knock on the door.
Some people even kept turning the doorknob, as if they were trying to pick the lock.
This banging on the door startled He Bailu, who had been concentrating on his work.
She looked back at Lin Qin and was about to say something.
But Lin Qin shook his head, indicating not to speak, and then calmly walked towards the wooden stick by the door.
