Xu Cheng followed Ran Jing to Ran Jing's house in her car.
What surprised Xu Cheng was that Ran Jing actually brought him to the building they used to live in. Xu Cheng remembered that he already sold this place.
At this moment, Xu Cheng subconsciously thought that Ran Jing recognized him. So, she brought him here.
After Ran Jing got out of the car, she saw Xu Cheng standing there and didn't follow her. She turned around and asked curiously, "Let's go?"
Xu Cheng looked at her through the mask and didn't seem to notice anything strange, so he naturally asked, "You live here?"
"Is it strange to live here?" Ran Jing looked up at the entire building and then said, "Do you live here too?"
"No," Xu Cheng said, "I lived here before when I came to Shangcheng."
"I've been living here for three years and I'm used to it, so I don't want to go anywhere for a while." Ran Jing pouted at him. "Go up, you can't go outside. I'll go home and make you something to eat. Don't worry, I won't eat you. Although I'm very powerful. "
Xu Cheng smiled indifferently and then followed her into the elevator.
It was still the same building, and it was that familiar room. When he opened the door, Xu Cheng felt like it was a lifetime ago. Most of the time, his pace and pace were too fast, and many things were actually in the same place, such as them.
When Xu Cheng followed Ran Jing in, what he saw wasn't the familiar scene and sofa, but a pair of long, white legs on the sofa.
Shen Yao was lazily lying on the sofa, smearing Resurrection Lotion on her legs. She didn't notice Ran Jing coming in with a man. She was wearing pajamas, the gorgeous kind made of silk. The pajamas were quite short, sliding down from the base of her legs to the ground, and most of her legs were exposed.
Ran Jing subconsciously covered Xu Cheng's eyes with one hand and coughed.
"Uh-huh!"
"You're back?" Only then did Shen Yao raise her head to look at her. However, when she saw that there was a tall and burly guy behind her, her expression immediately changed. She quickly curled up on all fours and used her hands to cover her legs.
Then, she glanced at Ran Jing with her eyes wide open.
"He didn't see anything," Ran Jing answered for Xu Cheng.
Shen Yao then picked up a pillow to cover herself. After pretending to be shocked, she looked at Ran Jing with a teasing smile and asked, "Your boyfriend? Not bad. This is the first time I've seen you bring a man back. Are you trying to play SM? You even put on a mask. "
Ran Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She turned around and said to Xu Cheng, "My bestie Shen Yao, don't think too much of it. She's just like that, very gossipy. Have a seat first, I'm going to the kitchen to make a few dishes, and we can grab a bite later. Also, I have some questions I want to ask you."
Xu Cheng nodded.
Ran Jing put down her briefcase, took off her uniform, changed into slippers, and put on an apron before heading to the kitchen.
After Xu Cheng sat down, Shen Yao stared at him without blinking.
"What are you trying to do with the mask?" Shen Yao asked.
"My face is disfigured, so I can only wear a mask." Xu Cheng didn't deny it. "Mainly because I don't want to scare people."
As he spoke, he waved his dreadfully pale hands in the air.
Only then did Shen Yao put away her joking heart, and her expression turned into one of sympathy. "I'm sorry, then you and Jing Jing are …?"
"Colleague." Xu Cheng said, "I was transferred here from Yanjing to help her with a case. Today's my first day on the job, and she's treating me to a meal. Since I can't go out and show off, I could only follow her here."
Shen Yao nodded, and she muttered, "I thought it was her boyfriend, the sun really rose from the west."
At this moment, Ran Jing was afraid that she would scare Xu Cheng away with her gossip, so she poked her head out and said, "Come in and help me wash some vegetables."
Shen Yao nodded, got up, and ran in.
After Xu Cheng stood up, he looked around. This place didn't seem to have changed at all.
The people, the objects, and even the decorations didn't seem to have changed. The only thing that changed was his face, and no one could recognize him anymore.
Xu Cheng went to the balcony alone to enjoy the breeze and enjoy the night view.
At that moment, his sharp ears heard the discussion between the two girls coming from the kitchen.
Shen Yao: "Jing, what makes this guy think he's good enough for you to invite him to your house for a meal? Aren't you always on par with men? Didn't you say that a man who could make you cook hasn't been born yet? But today, I see he's here. But, your taste is really heavy. "
Ran Jing rolled her eyes. "He was transferred here from Yanjing, so strictly speaking, he's my boss. Luckily, he helped me today, or else I would have to take a break from my vacation. So, although I hate him for coming here to take over my power, I still have to thank him, right? Other than thanking him, this meal is also a small fee for asking him for advice. "
"That's rare." Shen Yao laughed. "It's rare for a man to make you look at him in a different light. Have you seen what he looks like?"
After saying that, Shen Yao went silent for a moment, and then she suddenly said, "Just now when you brought him in, I don't know why, but I subconsciously thought it was Xu Cheng. His height and figure are similar."
"Oh," Ran Jing teased. Ran Jing teased, "It seems like there's also a man that you, Miss Shen, can't forget. But, he's not Xu Cheng. He took off my mask before, and I advise you not to take off his mask to show him some respect. It's because I've seen his face before that I brought him here for dinner. I can tell that he doesn't seem to have any friends, and he's a loner. There's no other meaning to this meal. "
Shen Yao suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "Oh right, a few days ago, I saw Chuxue coming here, and she asked me if I saw Xu Cheng. I saw that her face was really pale, and I don't know what happened," Shen Yao said with a frown as she washed the vegetables.
Ran Jing's knife paused in the air for two seconds, and then she continued to cut the vegetables as she asked, "Then why aren't you looking for her?"
"Her phone has been turned off, and I'm just worried that something might have happened. I've never seen such a panicked expression on Chuxue's face before. She always gives me the impression that she's very quiet, as if she wouldn't care even if the world were to end. But that day, she really scared me. When I chased after her, I couldn't see her anymore. Ran Jing, can you go back and help me look for Chuxue? "
Xu Cheng's pupils contracted, and he silently looked into the distance from the balcony. His heart was full of heartache.
Ran Jing nodded and started cooking. Then, she glared at Shen Yao and said in dissatisfaction, "Why did you only tell me about this today?"
Shen Yao: "You work overtime every day to investigate cases, how can I tell you? I need to hurry up and make another call to see if I can get through. "
At this moment, Ran Jing suddenly asked from behind, "Do you care about Chuxue or Xu Cheng?"
Shen Yao paused for a second, and then she said, "They're all my friends, so of course I care about them."
Ran Jing looked at her leaving figure and lightly laughed. "Only an idiot would buy this building!"
