Yu Zi shook her head. "No need."
Then she turned off her phone.
"Are you guys okay?" Yan Huaian asked hesitantly. Then he smiled embarrassedly. "Sorry, I was too nosy."
Yu Zi shook her head. "Since we've broken up, I don't want to continue pestering you. It's meaningless, so it's better not to contact you."
After Yu Zi finished speaking, she did not intend to continue on this topic.
Yan Huaian glanced at his phone, which had been turned off. He lowered his head and pretended to drink his soup, the corners of his mouth turning up.
Look, the girl he liked was so decisive. Their breakup was done cleanly and without any sloppiness.
When she loved you, she could be devoted to you, but when she realized that they couldn't be together, she was so cold and emotionless that it made people feel that she was too heartless.
But he liked her direct and efficient style.
The first time he met her, she was behind her teacher, sizing him up curiously. When she met his gaze, she had the uneasiness of a young woman in the workplace. But that uneasiness only lasted for a second. She instinctively wanted to avoid his gaze, but for some reason, she held back and looked him in the eye.
At that time, he found this young woman very interesting.
After that, every time she discussed things with her master, she would always follow by his side. Sometimes, her master would give her a chance to show off and express her views.
Every time they talked about legal matters, her eyes would shine with confidence.
Once, her teacher agreed to her suggestion and asked her to do it. In the face of the other party's lawyer, she performed beautifully. She was not afraid at all and was confident and experienced. She did not seem like a newcomer who had just entered the workplace.
The more he interacted with her, the more he was attracted to her. He was curious about her and wanted to find out more about her. He wondered if there was anything else about her that could surprise him.
Some people said that if you were curious about the opposite sex, it meant that you were going to fall.
In the end, he had fallen.
But now, seeing how decisive she was in love, he felt lucky. At the same time, he reminded himself not to do anything that would hurt Yu Zi and break up with him.
Because breaking up was breaking up. She wouldn't look back.
But Yan Huaian was still in a good mood.
Because it wasn't him or Yu Zi who was in pain. It was Yue Jingchen. He didn't have to worry that Yu Zi would end up with Yue Jingchen. What he needed to do now was to pull Yu Zi's heart over.
At that moment, Yue Jingchen was standing at the entrance of the neighborhood.
Because they had already been complained about, the property management staff went to the security director and reprimanded the security guards at the entrance of the residential area, asking them to take responsibility and check the identity before letting outsiders in.
Therefore, Yue Jingchen had already been blacklisted by the security guards. Seeing him pacing back and forth at the entrance, the security guards immediately recognized him and stared at him, not letting him in.
No matter what Yue Jingchen said, he wouldn't let him in.
Yue Jingchen decided to wait by the roadside at the entrance of the neighborhood. He didn't believe that the man wouldn't leave.
Sooner or later, he would have to leave the neighborhood.
However, the mad Yue Jingchen had forgotten that he had never seen that man's face before. No matter if he appeared or not, he wouldn't be able to recognize him.
Relying on his stubbornness, Yue Jingchen paused at the roadside. When he looked up, he could see the light from Yu Zi's window near the road. He just didn't know what she was doing with that man.
Was Yu Zi really that heartless? It had only been a day since they broke up, and she already had a new lover?
Or perhaps, she already had a new lover and was just waiting for a suitable excuse to break up with him. So, she took advantage of yesterday afternoon's commotion to bring it up?
Yue Jingchen gripped his hair in pain. He didn't want to believe the second possibility.
No, Yu Zi wasn't that kind of person.
However, he couldn't help but keep looking up at Yu Zi's lighted window. Many thoughts flashed through his mind.
After dinner, under Yan Huaian's insistence, Yan Huaian washed the dishes.
To Yu Zi's surprise, Yan Huaian did the dishes very well. He did it very cleanly, and there was no sound of the dishes shattering like she had imagined.
Originally, after dinner, she wanted to find an excuse to let Yan Huaian go back. However, she didn't expect him to not only wash the dishes, but also clean up the kitchen.
It wasn't good to chase him away like this, so Yu Zi brewed some tea and cut some fruits. She invited Yan Huaian to rest for a while.
"We're neighbors, so there's no need to be so polite. I'll use what you said this afternoon. If you need any help, just let me know, "Yan Huaian said with a smile.
She didn't know how Yan Huaian did it. It wasn't until he left that Yu Zi finally realized that the two of them had … had a pleasant conversation just now?
She wasn't someone who would get familiar with people easily. Even with her work partners and colleagues in the law firm, she only kept in touch with them because of work. She didn't keep in touch much in private.
Yu Zi knew that she took a long time to warm up to people. Or rather, she could quickly become familiar with people she liked, but there weren't many people she liked. Most of them had to spend a long time together before she could slowly let go of them.
As for Yan Huaian, she didn't know if she liked him.
She had known Yan Huaian for a long time, but she wasn't familiar with him. However, she did think that Yan Huaian was a good person. Not only was he not annoying, but he also easily made people like him.
In short, she actually had a good conversation with Yan Huaian. She didn't feel pressured at all.
Yu Zi shook her head. It was too strange.
Yue Jingchen squatted outside the neighborhood until the lights in Yu Zi's house were turned off. Only then did he remember that even if that man came out, he wouldn't be able to recognize him. In the end, he could only leave dejectedly.
But the next morning, he came again.
Yu Zi didn't drive to work. Like other office workers, she took the subway to work.
So, he wanted to stop Yu Zi at the entrance of the neighborhood and ask her what was going on with that man last night.
He came early in the morning and didn't even have breakfast. So, he bought a cup of black rice porridge and three steamed buns from one of the two breakfast carts across the street.
He quickly finished them in two or three bites, then threw them into the trash can at the entrance of the neighborhood and waited.
When Yu Zi got up to brush her teeth in the morning, she smelled the simple smell of bacon coming from the balcony next door.
Both her and Yan Huaian's balconies didn't have glass windows. Yu Zi felt that there were floor-to-ceiling windows between the living room and the balcony. If they were to install glass windows outside, it would ruin the beauty and disturb her mood of going to the balcony to enjoy the scenery from time to time.
As for the balcony next door, it was because the original resident, the lady, was a refined person. She grew many flowers on the balcony, decorating the balcony like a balcony in a French literary film. It was surrounded by flowers and plants. Especially in spring, the flowers and plants were bright and beautiful. A casual pat would make it look like a postcard.
The original resident next door moved out, so the flowers and plants were naturally moved away. Now, the balcony was empty, and there was no cover.
The two balconies were very close to each other. They were side by side, and there was only about a meter between them.
Yu Zi knew that she shouldn't be so curious, but she couldn't help but go to the balcony and look next door.
Just as she peeked her head out, she saw a pair of teasing faces.
It was Yan Huaian with a shovel in his hand. He was smiling faintly at her, his bright eyes containing a hint of teasing.
Yu Zi blushed and said embarrassedly, "I'm here to breathe in the morning air."
Yan Huaian didn't say anything. He just looked outside quietly.
There was a layer of gray haze outside. Today's PM25 value was off the charts.
Yan Huaian smiled warmly and walked over. He bent his body slightly to the side and placed his elbow on the balcony's railing. His right knee was slightly bent in front of his left leg, and the tip of his foot touched the ground. His movements were a little unrestrained.
If it was on a young man in his twenties, it would be too unsteady.
But on him, it was wanton, unrestrained, and full of love. Even if his long legs were slightly bent, they were still too long.
Below his neck were all legs. That was exactly what he meant.
Yan Huaian smiled and leaned over. There was still some distance between him and Yu Zi, but Yu Zi still couldn't stop blushing.
She heard Yan Huaian say, "Are you sure you came out to breathe in the fresh air and not to take drugs?"
Yu Zi, "…"
It was rare to see the stubborn young lady look so sullen. She probably didn't even know that her mouth was so red that one could hang an oil bottle on it.
Yan Huaian couldn't help but chuckle. "Have you had breakfast?"
Yu Zi shook her head. She was embarrassed just now, so she still felt uncomfortable talking. Her ears were numb. "I just brushed my teeth."
After saying that, she regretted it.
Why did she have to report to him in such detail? She could have just said that she hadn't eaten. Why did she mention whether she brushed her teeth or not?
The more she regretted it, the more uncomfortable she felt when she looked at Yan Huaian. She didn't even notice that Yan Huaian was staring at her with an evil gaze.
At that moment, there was only one sentence echoing in Yan Huaian's mind. She just brushed her teeth.
He didn't know what flavor her toothpaste was. Fruity mint? Or pure mint? Or the popular salt-flavored peppermint?
Yan Huaian thought that he couldn't rush to kiss Yu Zi now, but he must find a chance to brush his teeth with her toothpaste.
If Liu Jiamu was here, he would definitely be able to tell that Yan Huaian was looking at the Four Gentlemen with an expressionless face, but in fact, he was wearing the face of a pervert!
Retracting some of his thoughts, Yan Huaian couldn't help but pinch the index finger of his right hand with his empty left hand. He pressed the pad of his finger on his knuckles and rubbed it gently. His movements were indescribably gentle, as if he was caressing his lover's lips.
His long eyelashes lowered slightly, covering half of the light in his eyes.
He smiled and asked, "I made bacon omelets for breakfast. If you don't mind, come over and eat with me."
Yu Zi was a little hesitant. Yan Huaian smiled and said, "You treated me to a meal last night. This breakfast is nothing."
Yu Zi smelled the bacon omelets and had a good appetite. With a ready-made breakfast, she was too lazy to make it herself, so she nodded happily.
She went back to the house to get her bag and coat. She planned to go to the company directly after breakfast at Yan Huaian's place and not come back.
