Qiao Lian strolled around the mall a few times until her cell phone rang. 13579246810
She looked down and saw that it was Shen Liangchuan.
After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the call. But the moment the call connected, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
After about two seconds of silence, the person on the other end of the line said, "Where are you?"
That melodious and deep voice, at this moment, fell into her ears, but it seemed to be mixed with coldness, blowing against her face through the phone.
It was a strange and desolate feeling.
She smiled but still didn't say a word.
Shen Liangchuan continued, "Are you outside?"
Qiao Lian replied, "Uh huh."
Her silence finally made him feel that something was amiss. His tone softened a little as he said, "I'll pick you up."
"No need," Qiao Lian said unhurriedly, "I don't feel like going home tonight."
Qiao Lian was a little dazed when she heard this.
Since when had she started referring to that villa as "home"?
The funny thing was that she hadn't put up her guard against him at all. In the end, she had been completely fooled by him.
At the thought of this, she pursed her lips and tightened her jaw. Her entire person revealed a distant and defensive posture, like a hedgehog that erected all the spikes on its body, using indifference to protect itself.
Her tone was so cold that the other party fell silent again.
After about ten seconds, the person on the other end of the line said, "Uh huh."
That familiar voice and the same indifferent tone made her heart wrench. She felt as though all the air had been sucked out of her lungs, and a suffocating pain spread from the bottom of her heart.
As she was in a daze, the other party hung up.
Qiao Lian lowered her head and stared at her cell phone. Finally, she threw it into her bag.
She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the resentment in her heart.
Then she looked up and looked around. She saw a spicy hotpot stall in front of her.
She walked in and found a table in the corner. She ordered a large portion and said, "I'd like the Super Spicy Hotpot, thank you."
The waiter immediately said, "Miss, the Super Spicy Hotpot in our shop is very strong. Are you sure it's the Super Spicy Hotpot?"
Qiao Lian nodded.
About ten minutes later, a spicy hot pot was delivered to her.
Qiao Lian did not eat the rice. Instead, she picked up a piece of potato with her chopsticks and placed it in her mouth. The spicy taste immediately stimulated her taste buds.
For a moment, tears and snot flowed down his face.
She took out a tissue and wiped it, then continued to eat.
Tears streamed down her face as she ate.
Only when he was full did he suddenly feel refreshed.
She stood up and sniffled her red nose. Under the stunned gaze of the waiter, she praised in a hoarse voice, "It's delicious."
Her tongue had already lost its sense of taste. It was numb, and her lips and eyes were red.
After she walked out, the waiter walked forward and realized that even the chili in the bowl had been eaten.
Qiao Lian continued to stroll around until ten o 'clock at night, when the mall started to close. She then walked out.
The sky was dark and a cold wind was blowing.
Hugging her shoulders, she stood by the side of the road and finally hailed a taxi.
The car stopped at the entrance of her rented neighborhood. She paid the driver and walked in.
Climbing up the old corridor to the fourth floor, she picked up the key and was about to open the door, but when she saw the tall man at the door, her body froze.
