It was difficult to wait for a taxi, so by the time Leng Nuan returned to the entrance of the neighborhood, it was already half-past ten.
After paying the fare, Leng Nuan held onto her umbrella and hurriedly made her way to her apartment building.
Just as she was about to reach the building, Leng Nuan noticed a car parked by the side. The car's headlights were still on.
Did someone just get off work?
Out of reflex, Leng Nuan shot a glance in the direction of the car. Through the dense rain, Leng Nuan couldn't help but feel that the car was extremely familiar. However, she didn't think too much about it. Instead, she glanced at the top of the car, and through the dripping windshield, she saw the person sitting in the driver's seat.
Leng Nuan's footsteps subconsciously came to a halt.
It's … Lu Benlai … What is he doing downstairs in the middle of the night?
Leng Nuan instinctively tightened her grip on her umbrella.
Fortunately, Lu Benlai was busy on the phone, so he didn't notice her.
It had been almost a month since they last met. In this month, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and he looked a little haggard … Is he busy with work recently?
While Leng Nuan was deep in thought, she suddenly realized that she was overthinking things. So, she quickly retracted her gaze and pretended as if she hadn't seen anything. She walked into the building, closed her umbrella, pressed the elevator, and returned home.
As it was too late, Keke was already asleep.
The auntie heard the commotion and walked out of her bedroom.
Leng Nuan chatted with the auntie about Keke before heading into her bedroom. Seeing the sleeping Keke on the bed, Leng Nuan's gaze softened. She didn't stay for too long before grabbing her pajamas and towel and heading into the bathroom.
After her shower, Leng Nuan took the warm milk from the auntie. After drinking half a cup, she seemed to have thought of something. She walked to the window and looked down. Lu Benlai's car was still there.
It's already past eleven. Why isn't he back yet?
After finishing the milk, Leng Nuan saw that the car downstairs showed no signs of leaving, so she didn't move.
When the auntie came out of the shower, she saw Leng Nuan staring blankly out of the window, so she walked over curiously.
The auntie followed Leng Nuan's gaze and looked down. When she saw the car with its headlights on, she asked, "Is this car here tonight?"
Hearing the auntie's voice, Leng Nuan glanced at her.
Noticing that Leng Nuan was looking at her, the auntie knew that she was interested in the car, and she began to ramble on endlessly, "I remember this car. Of all the cars downstairs, this is the most expensive one. Around twenty days ago, I would wash Nannan's clothes at this time every day at this time and come to the balcony to dry them after my shower … Speaking of which, it's really weird. The lights of this car are always on, which means that there's someone inside. Who do you think it is? Why would they be sitting in the car in the middle of the night … Furthermore, there were several times when I woke up in the morning to bring Nannan's clothes over, and the lights were still on. That means that they have been sitting in the car for an entire night …"
As the auntie spoke, she craned her neck to take another look before turning to look at Leng Nuan. "Say, isn't it weird for the owner of the car to be able to afford a car like that? If he's able to afford a car like that, he must be able to afford a house as well. Why is he not at home at night but in the car …"
