"No …" Leng Nuan's voice was still as emotionless as before. After replying to Lu Benlai's question with a distant look on her face, a moment later, she explained, "I live in Block 601 of the East Sector. This is the West Sector."
Lu Benlai first replied with an "Oh" before realization dawned on him. In the end, as if he didn't know what else to say, he chuckled and said, "In any case, it's still the same as before. As long as you're fine …"
Leng Nuan fell silent.
Perhaps it was due to the shock that Lu Benlai, who had always been a talkative person, noticed that she wasn't saying anything at all, so he didn't say anything either. Unlike usual, when she ignored him, he would always have endless topics to talk about.
Silence fell between the two of them as the firefighters behind them hurried about.
It didn't take long for the fire to be extinguished, and since there weren't any casualties, the crowd gradually dispersed.
The already quiet suburbs seemed to have grown even quieter.
Staring at Lu Benlai, Leng Nuan's eyes flickered as she broke the silence between the two of them, "Your …"
After saying those two words, she raised her hand and pointed to her hair.
At first, Lu Benlai didn't understand what Leng Nuan was getting at. He was stunned for a moment before he reached out to touch his head. There was a burning sensation, and it dawned on him that she was referring to the fact that he had dashed into the fire earlier …
Lu Benlai, who had always placed great importance on his hairstyle, scratched his head and said, "Oh, about that. It just so happens that I've been thinking of changing my hairstyle recently and shaving my head bald, but I haven't been able to make up my mind yet. Looks like I don't have to think about it anymore. Tomorrow, I can just go to the hairdresser in the hot spring and shave off my head …"
Lu Benlai had always been this mischievous.
Leng Nuan had often been amused by Lu Benlai in the past, but this time, she couldn't bring herself to laugh. Looking at his drenched clothes and his shivering body in the early winter night, she lowered her eyelids and said, "It's getting late. I'm going back to rest."
"Alright then," Lu Benlai replied. Then, with a tone of negotiation, he asked, "Do you want me to send you off?"
Lu Benlai had said these words to Leng Nuan many times before, but every single time, Leng Nuan would either reject him coldly or politely. This time, Lu Benlai's words sounded in Leng Nuan's ears, and out of habit, she subconsciously wanted to say "There's no need, thank you". However, just as the words reached the tip of her tongue, she couldn't bring herself to say it. In the end, she simply turned around and headed back to her room.
Seeing that she didn't turn him down, Lu Benlai grinned and followed along.
"It's really cold today."
"By the way, you've been reading in the car this afternoon. What are you reading?"
"Have you always not liked to talk? Girls are so young, it's better for them to be more lively … "
Along the way, Lu Benlai chattered nonstop. It was only when they were about to reach Leng Nuan's room that she finally turned around to look at him.
Lu Benlai's lips immediately tightened, and he fell silent.
Walking to the door of her room, Leng Nuan suddenly stopped. "I'm here."
"Hurry up and go in then. Have an early rest. Good night." The disheveled Lu Benlai stood under a dim streetlight and waved goodbye to Leng Nuan with a smile.
