He had slept very little in the UK these past few days. He had been staying at Masnian's bedside. He had been on a plane for more than ten hours and was dealing with official duties that had accumulated during this period. He had not slept for almost thirty hours.
When Xiao Yingze woke up, the apartment was dark. Outside the window, the lights were on. When he took the phone, there were more than a dozen missed calls on it, and they were all from Hu Xuan.
Xiao Yingze sat up, found some clothes to put on, and walked out of the bedroom. Suddenly, his eyes were flashed by the dazzling lights in the living room. It took him a long time to adjust.
Lu Ziyou was busy at his desk when he heard footsteps and looked up.
"Are you awake? I don't know when you will wake up. I ordered takeout for you and put it in a pot to warm. You can eat it yourself."
Seeing Lu Ziyou speaking while taking out the dinner for him, Xiao Yingze couldn't react for a moment. He straightened his messy hair and looked at the busy Lu Ziyou and asked.
"Why are you here? No, how do you know I'm at home?"
Xiao Yingze has not lived in Yayuan for more than half a month. He has been living in Haotianju before, and then went to England. This time he planned to stay here for one night and return to Haotianju after he recovered.
Unexpectedly, when he woke up, this woman was actually in his apartment.
Lu Ziyou was stunned for a moment, then put the bowl on the dining table, poured Xiao Yingze a glass of water, and then spoke.
"The water pipe upstairs was broken, so I came down to lend you a bath. I didn't know you were back until I saw the suitcase left at the door."
After saying that, Lu Ziyou took a sip of water himself, seeming to be hesitating about something.
Xiao Yingze sat down and looked at the dinner on the table. He had no appetite, but he still took a few bites.
At this time, Lu Ziyou spoke again.
"I heard that you went abroad with Hu Xuan this time?"
Lu Ziyou lowered his head and asked with a disapproving expression on his face.
Xiao Yingze's hand holding the chopsticks paused, and then, an unpredictable light flashed in his eyes. He looked up at Lu Ziyou and whispered back.
"Well, what's wrong?"
Hearing this, Lu Ziyou frowned slightly, but when he raised his head, there was a faint smile on his face, then he shook his head and said.
"Nothing, just asking casually."
Not hearing the answer he wanted, Xiao Yingze's eyes flashed with disappointment, and then he asked again.
"How did you know that Hu Xuan and I were together?"
"Don't you know? Someone took a photo of you and Hu Xuan coming back together, and then it was found that you took the same flight. It is still listed on the hot search on Weibo. Yingze, are you and Hu Xuan together?
"
Finally, Lu Ziyou couldn't help but ask. For some reason, after seeing the hot comments on the Internet, Lu Ziyou wanted to find out about this matter.
At this time, Xiao Yingze put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Lu Ziyou with an evil look on his face, and asked.
"Why are you so concerned about my affairs all of a sudden? Lu Ziyou, aren't you jealous?"
"Go away, who is jealous? As your sister, can't I care about your personal problems? If you don't want to say anything, forget it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, Lu Ziyou stood up with an angry look and walked towards the door.
When Xiao Yingze saw this, he immediately stopped her.
"It's so late, what can I do? Do you have any tools at home? I'll help you repair the water pipe later."
After Xiao Yingze finished speaking, Lu Ziyou hesitated for a moment, then came back, sat opposite Xiao Yingze, and said something.
"Thank you in advance."
Xiao Yingze glared at her, let out a faint smile, then took a few bites and put down the bowl and chopsticks.
"Let's go."
Xiao Yingze stood up and said, and then the two of them went upstairs.
"Lu Ziyou, how long has it been since you cleaned up this place? It's such a mess. You're still not a woman."
As soon as he walked into Lu Ziyou's apartment, Xiao Yingze frowned when he saw the scene inside. The sofa in the living room that caught his eye was piled with dirty clothes that had been changed for an unknown number of days. Shoes and socks were also scattered here and there.
When passing by the kitchen, the sink was filled with used dishes and chopsticks. There was obviously a dishwasher in the house, but this woman could be so lazy.
Lu Ziyou looked at Xiao Yingze's disgusted look and explained while cleaning up.
"The water pipe has been broken for several days, and I haven't had time to find anyone to come over. There is no water in the house, and there is nothing I can do."
After hearing this answer, Xiao Yingze shook his head helplessly and smiled lightly.
"Then you are really grateful that you have the password to the door of my apartment. Otherwise, without taking a shower for so many days, your whole body would be sore."
Xiao Yingze had always known that Lu Ziyou had poor ability to take care of himself, so every time he arranged for the hourly worker to come over to clean, he would ask the hourly worker to go upstairs and help Lu Ziyou clean up.
It's just that he hasn't been living in Yayuan recently. He didn't expect that in more than ten days, this beautiful apartment would be ruined by this woman. The sofa and coffee table in the living room were shipped back from abroad and cost 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. They were treated like dirty laundry.
The basket is empty.
Hearing Xiao Yingze's complaint, Lu Ziyou felt aggrieved and said.
"Who told you not to live here for so long? If no one came to help me repair the water pipe, would I have ended up like this?"
"Okay, this is all my problem. Don't you have a mobile phone? If it really doesn't work, call your parents or Brother Tianzuo and ask them to arrange for someone to come and fix it. For such a big person, how can you
I don’t have any brains.”
Seeing how chaotic Lu Ziyou's place was, Xiao Yingze couldn't tell whether he was angry or distressed.
Hearing Xiao Yingze's disgusting words, Lu Ziyou vented all his anger and complained to Xiao Yingze.
"Do you think I want to be like this? It's not you who only cares about falling in love and is gone for a week. If I didn't still have some manuscripts you gave me before, your serialized article would be open to the public. You
Do you know how busy I am these days? I don’t even bother to find someone to fix the water pipes. It’s dark every time I get home. Even if it’s useless to call my parents, they will only think that I can’t take care of myself.
, I don’t want them to see me like this, don’t I?”
Faced with the sudden emotional breakdown of Lu Ziyou, Xiao Yingze was caught off guard. At this moment, he happened to catch a glimpse of a photo frame thrown on the coffee table. It turned out to be a photo of Lu Ziyou and Huo Tianshuo. Xiao Yingze suddenly frowned tightly.
He walked over, picked up the photo frame, looked at Lu Ziyou who looked ugly, and asked.
"You haven't forgotten him, have you? That's why your life has become a mess. Lu Ziyou, is it interesting for you to torture yourself like this? Or do you want him to see your current embarrassment and make him sympathize with you?
Then get back together."
Seeing that group photo, Xiao Yingze was very disappointed with Lu Ziyou. That man cheated on her like that, but this woman still couldn't forget him. Did she take this group photo every night to remember the past?
Now, Lu Ziyou was anxious. Was she the kind of person who couldn't let go?
Lu Ziyou walked over directly, picked up the photo album on the coffee table, threw it directly into the trash can, and then hurriedly explained.
"No, I've been packing my things these days. These are the things I want to throw away. Xiao Yingze, you don't think that my place is so messy because I'm still in the sadness of breaking up with Huo Tianshuo."
Hearing this, Xiao Yingze asked doubtfully.
"Is not it?"
"Do you think I look like the kind of person who compromises for love?"
After asking such a rhetorical question, Xiao Yingze didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he directly changed the topic.
"Where are the tools? Is the bathroom faucet broken?"
Seeing that Xiao Yingze did not continue, Lu Ziyou did not explain. He went to the storage room to get tools and a spare faucet, and then took Xiao Yingze to the bathroom of the master bedroom.
"This is broken."
Lu Ziyou pointed at the faucet of the sink, Xiao Yingze looked at it and said.
"Go and turn on the water valve."
Hearing this, Lu Ziyou was stunned for a moment and said.
"No, the water will spurt out when it is boiled."
When Xiao Yingze heard this, he shook his head helplessly, squatted down, pointed at the hot and cold water valves under the pool, and said.
"Miss, don't you know that there is a water valve under every water outlet here? This place is broken. As long as the water valve is turned off, it will not affect the water supply in other places. Lu Ziyou, let me tell you, you have been doing this for more than 20 years
How did it grow?"
Slowly feeling disgusted again, Lu Ziyou glanced at the direction Xiao Yingze pointed at. There were indeed two water valves there, she curled her lips and said.
"I'm a liberal arts student, and the teacher didn't tell me this."
Hearing Lu Ziyou's sophistry, Xiao Yingze wanted to laugh but felt a little irritated, so he shook his head and said.
"Hurry up and open the main valve."
After that, Lu Ziyou hurriedly walked out.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yingze finally helped Lu Ziyou fix the faucet. After packing up the tools, he walked out of the bedroom. When he saw the messy living room, he frowned slightly. He lifted up his sleeves again, put the tool box aside, and helped the woman start without complaint.
Tidy up the living room.
Seeing this, Lu Ziyou hurriedly stopped him.
"Don't you need to get jet lag? Now that we have water at home, I can do it myself."
"Okay, there's so much to sort out. How long will you be busy alone? I've had enough sleep. I still have this little time. Hurry, finish these things first. I'll ask the hourly worker to come over tomorrow."
