Chapter 801: Why Are You Here?
"The ice cream’s finished, I’ll take you back." Leng Jian threw the trash he was holding into a street bin and turned to look at Zhang Lingying, who was standing behind him.
Zhang Lingying was completely stunned.
She stared blankly at Leng Jian, who had finished an ice cream at lightning speed.
It was the first time she had seen someone eat ice cream like that... It was so simple and crude!
"Is there a problem?" Leng Jian met her surprised gaze and asked blankly.
"No, no problem." Zhang Lingying pursed her lips, glanced down at the half ice cream left in her hand, and seeing Leng Jian also looking at her ice cream, she thought he was criticizing her for eating slowly. She hurriedly opened her mouth and ate the remaining ice cream as fast as she could.
Her whole body shivered from the cold.
She silently repeated to herself, she chose to be a little princess, she’d better finish it while kneeling!
In the end, she forgot that her original intention was that she didn’t need him to take her home, but she inexplicably followed him and got into the car.
Under his gaze, she instinctively reported her home address.
She had just moved out of the Qin Family Villa a few days ago, and the apartment she rented was near Jiangcheng University.
It was mainly for convenience, to save time.
When the car arrived, Zhang Lingying hadn’t recovered from the ice cream incident yet, and dazedly climbed out of the seat. Facing Leng Jian’s gaze, her nerves twitched, and she suddenly asked.
"My home is here, do you want to come up and take a nap?"
Leng Jian: "..."
Zhang Lingying realized what she said and quickly explained, "What I meant was, my home has a guest room, you’re welcome to be my guest. Don’t worry, if you don’t agree, I won’t do anything to you."
After she finished speaking, Leng Jian’s gaze became even deeper.
Realizing she was making things worse, Zhang Lingying desperately shut her mouth and before Leng Jian could say anything, turned and ran towards the apartment building.
Not noticing that the man’s ears in the driver’s seat had already turned faintly red.
Staring at her fleeing figure, his cold eyes were tinged with a complex light.
"Bang—"
Rushing into the apartment building, Zhang Lingying immediately leaned weakly against the elevator wall like she had regained her soul.
Recalling the stupid words she had said just now and remembering Leng Jian’s face looking as if he had been slighted, she wanted to bang her head against the elevator wall.
Her face had been utterly lost...
"Ding" sounded, the elevator arrived.
Zhang Lingying walked out of the elevator, looking down to find the apartment key in her bag. Just as she took out the key, she saw a shadow leaning against her apartment door... Her hand shook, almost dropping the key.
Seeing clearly who was in front of her, her face of regret instantly changed into astonishment.
"How are you here?"
"..."
Lu Jing, who had been waiting by the apartment door all night, slowly turned around.
On that mischievous face, the corner of his eye and mouth were unbandaged, with dried blood, even more swollen than before.
His jacket was off, casually tossed over one shoulder by a finger.
The collar of his shirt was loose, even the sleeves were rolled halfway up.
His disheveled hair couldn’t hide the red veins in his eyes.
The whole person looked both pitiful and pathetic, like a homeless wanderer.
Seeing Zhang Lingying appear, he stood up straight from the doorway, took two steps toward her, lowered his head, his deep voice tinged with pity.
"The wound hurts, I don’t want to be alone, could you keep me company for a chat?"
