Xu Wennuan sat on the second step of the staircase. Her eyes were red from crying, and she stared at him in a daze.
She was much thinner than when she had moved out of his house. Her hair was a mess, and she looked haggard and wretched.
The way she looked at him was uneasy and flustered, as if she was in some kind of predicament and had come to him for help, but she didn't know how to say it.
Lu Bancheng stared at her silently for a few seconds when she didn't make a sound or show any signs of opening her mouth. Then, as if she didn't exist, he retracted his gaze, turned his head, and lifted his head. With a calm expression, he keyed in the password.
The beeping sound was especially clear and ear-piercing in the corridor.
With a click, the door was unlocked. Lu Bancheng reached out and pressed the light switch. The bright crystal light was so blinding that Xu Wennuan's eyes hurt a little. She then rushed toward Lu Bancheng, who was walking into the house, and anxiously called out, "Lu Bancheng …"
This time, the volume of her voice was much higher than before.
Lu Bancheng heard her clearly, but he didn't turn around. His body didn't even pause as he raised his hand to close the door.
As the door gradually closed, Xu Wennuan suddenly jumped up and threw herself in front of Lu Bancheng's door to forcefully stop him from closing it.
Lu Bancheng, who was still fighting with his back to her, frowned slightly. He continued to pretend that she didn't exist and pushed the door harder.
She was no match for his strength. She used all her strength, but the door continued to close bit by bit. Just as it was about to close completely, Xu Wennuan reached out and grabbed Lu Bancheng's hand through the crack of the door.
Lu Bancheng's entire body trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and he instinctively waved his hand.
Xu Wennuan staggered two steps, but she stubbornly refused to let go of his hand. "Lu Bancheng, I need to talk to you about something …"
Lu Bancheng's fingers froze, but he didn't shake her hand off or turn around to look at her. His voice was calm and cold, without a trace of reluctance or soft-heartedness. "I'm sorry, but I don't think there's anything for us to talk about."
With that, he freed his hand from her grasp.
She seemed to be grasping at the only life-saving straw. She hurriedly raised her other hand and grabbed his hand with both hands.
He could clearly feel that her palms were soaked in cold sweat. Her voice was small and pitiful. It was obvious that she was begging, "I can only come to you. Please help me, okay? I know you hate me, but … "
He did not know what kind of trouble she had encountered, but the words that came out of her mouth were somewhat incoherent. "… But, we know each other. Can you help me on account of our relationship?"
"You know him?"
Lu Bancheng, who had been quietly listening to her, suddenly turned around and met her eyes with a sharp gaze. "If I remember correctly, you were the one who wished we had never met!"
"Xu Wennuan, what am I to you? Do you think you can do whatever you want with a wave of your hand? "
"I'm telling you, no matter what you come to me for, I won't help you! Let me give you a piece of advice. Don't waste your time here. Instead of wasting your time with me, why don't you find another way? So, please leave this place immediately! "
