Sensing that Yun Liuli was about to leave, Zhou Yuchen moved his lips.
Yun Liuli held a plastic bag in one hand, straightened her back, and said to Zhou Yuchen, "I'm leaving. Think about whether you want to get your hair cut!"
At the mention of getting his hair cut, Zhou Yuchen's body tensed up even more. He was afraid that his eyes would be exposed. He had been afraid for more than ten years. Now that he was suddenly asked to remove the disguise he thought he had, he was terrified.
He looked up and saw that Yun Liuli had already turned around. Zhou Yuchen almost subconsciously stood up and followed Yun Liuli, still holding the plastic bag of medicine in his hand.
Yun Liuli walked to the temporary taxi stop, put down the two big bags in her hands, and shook her hands. From the corner of her eye, she saw a thin black figure. She turned her head and saw Zhou Yuchen standing there.
Their gazes met, and Zhou Yuchen dodged and turned around, looking flustered.
"Why are you following me?" Yun Liuli asked Zhou Yuchen.
Zhou Yuchen was flustered by Yun Liuli's question.
Zhou Yuchen didn't know why he was following Yun Liuli …
Zhou Yuchen turned to leave in a fluster after being exposed by Yun Liuli. Yun Liuli suddenly thought of something and called out to him, "Zhou Yuchen …"
A bus whizzed past the two of them, but it didn't drown out Yun Liuli's clear voice. Zhou Yuchen stopped in his tracks and turned around uneasily …
Yun Liuli didn't know if it was out of pity, but at that moment, she wanted to help Zhou Yuchen. "I want to get my hair cut too. Do you want to go to the hairdresser with me? But I have to go back and put my things away first!"
Hearing Yun Liuli's words, Zhou Yuchen's eyes burned. He nodded, but he still stood there timidly.
"Then let's go! I have to go back and put my things away!" Yun Liuli said.
Zhou Yuchen stood there for a long time, hesitating. Finally, he walked toward Yun Liuli.
He walked to a meter away from Yun Liuli and stood by the roadside with her. An empty taxi drove over, and Yun Liuli raised her hand to stop it.
Seeing that the taxi had stopped, Yun Liuli bent over to pick up the plastic bag beside her, but Zhou Yuchen had already picked it up before her.
Yun Liuli didn't stop him and said, "Put the things in the back. You can sit in the front passenger seat."
Zhou Yuchen nodded. After putting the things in the backseat, he obediently opened the front passenger door and got into the car.
Not far away, Xiao Yuan had a cigarette in his mouth. When he saw Yun Liuli and Zhou Yuchen get into the car, his eyes narrowed.
"Yo, is that Zhou Yuchen? Why is he in the same car as our school belle?"
Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes and did not say a word. No one knew what he was thinking about.
"I really feel bad for Zhong Qingfei. He likes Yun Liuli so much, but she hangs out with that coward, Zhou Yuchen, every day!"
"Have all the beauties changed their temperaments and started liking cowards?"
Xiao Yuan's companion let out a laugh and teased, saying that he wanted to become a coward too. He wondered if he would be able to kiss the campus belle.
After Yun Liuli got into the car, she told him the address of the Cloud Top Condominium. Zhou Yuchen was shocked.
Even though Zhou Yuchen did not care about his surroundings, he knew that the Cloud Top Condominium was second to none in Sea City, and every inch of it was worth its weight in gold.
The chauffeur drove the car to the entrance of the Cloud Top Condominium. Before Yun Liuli could take out the money from her bag, Zhou Yuchen had already given her the money.
Zhou Yuchen, who was helping to carry the big plastic bag, followed behind Yun Liuli like a tail.
Zhou Yuchen followed Yun Liuli into the elevator. When they reached the top floor, the elevator door opened. Zhou Yuchen helped to carry the things out, but he stood at the door without moving.
He stood quietly at the door, looking at the huge Cloud Top Condominium. He then saw Yun Liuli carrying the things to the open kitchen, opening the fridge door, and placing the things she bought from the supermarket back into the fridge.
Zhou Yuchen lowered his head and looked at the big plastic bag in his hands. He then stared at the clean marble floor of the apartment. He took off his shoes and stepped on the floor in his clean white socks, carrying the plastic bag to Yun Liuli's side.
"Thank you!" Yun Liuli looked at the plastic bag Zhou Yuchen had placed by her feet. She bent over, picked up the things inside, and stuffed them all into the fridge.
It was only then that Zhou Yuchen realized that Yun Liuli wasn't placing things back. She was clearly stuffing things into the fridge.
Right, stuffing them!
Seeing that the things were about to fall, Yun Liuli hurriedly pressed down on the things in the fridge with one hand and reached for the plastic bag with the other. However, her hand was not long enough and could not reach it!
Yun Liuli said to Zhou Yuchen, "Help!"
Zhou Yuchen was rendered speechless.
"Let me do it!" Zhou Yuchen switched places with Yun Liuli. He took out all the messy things in the fridge and placed them on the countertop. He rearranged them before placing them back into the fridge.
Compared to the messy way Yun Liuli had placed the things earlier, the fridge that had two doors to begin with appeared even more spacious and neat.
"You're so amazing!"
Yun Liuli praised him sincerely.
Zhou Yuchen held fresh fruits and vegetables in his hands and placed them in the safety compartment. "I've been living on my own since I was eleven. The auntie who took care of me taught me these things step by step. She told me that I had to learn all of them!"
Zhou Yuchen knew a lot more!
At eleven years old, Zhou Yuchen, whose eyes were of a different color, was treated as a monster. The nanny who took care of Zhou Yuchen couldn't stand the pressure from the so-called "relatives" in the slums and had no choice but to leave Zhou Yuchen alone. Although the nanny would still visit Zhou Yuchen every few days, she couldn't take care of him every day.
Therefore, the nanny followed the principle that it was better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. She started teaching Zhou Yuchen how to live on his own.
Yun Liuli didn't ask further and just nodded.
She watched as Zhou Yuchen tidied up the fridge and washed his hands at the sink. His actions of taking out a few pieces of kitchen towels to wipe his hands were skillful and experienced. She threw an apple that she had just washed to Zhou Yuchen. "Let's go and get your hair cut!"
Zhou Yuchen held the apple that Yun Liuli had washed in his hand tightly. He then followed Yun Liuli's footsteps and put on his shoes at the door.
Yun Liuli noticed that Zhou Yuchen's socks didn't look new, but they were white and clean.
After interacting with Zhou Yuchen, Yun Liuli felt that human speech was sometimes very nonsensical.
Zhou Yuchen wasn't dirty, let alone smelly. However, everyone followed the crowd and stayed far away from Zhou Yuchen. Yun Liuli had sat with Zhou Yuchen before and knew that there was a faint smell of laundry detergent on Zhou Yuchen's body.
In Yun Liuli's opinion, Zhou Yuchen had a slight obsession with cleanliness. It was only after sitting at the same table with Zhou Yuchen a few times that Yun Liuli realized that Zhou Yuchen didn't wear the same clothes and shoes every day. It was likely that all of his clothes and shoes were the same.
When they arrived at the hairdresser's, Yun Liuli went in and told the shop assistant that she wanted to cut her hair shorter. She then pointed at Zhou Yuchen, who was sitting on the sofa obediently. "Design a more sunny hairstyle."
