C26 (2/2)

She must have heard wrong. How could he not be happy about such a small matter?

Xu Chencan shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in the Wang family's garage.

Xu Chencan and Chu Lingyu entered the living room one after another.

Aunt Ling could tell at a glance that Chu Lingyu was not in a good mood. It was obvious that the source was Xu Chencan.

It's just that I don't understand this silly girl.

Aunt Ling smiled and took their bags and coats, saying that dinner was ready and telling them to go eat.

They washed their hands and went to the dining room.

After dinner, Chu Lingyu went out for a walk. Aunt Ling called Xu Chencan, ”Chencan, do me a favor.”

”Alright, Aunt Ling.” Xu Chencan was already full of trust in Aunt Ling, so he agreed without even asking for help.

”Come.” Aunt Ling smiled and led her upstairs.

Seeing Aunt Ling lead her to Chu Lingyu's room, Xu Chencan started to hesitate, ”Aunt Ling, what are you trying to do?”

Aunt Ling opened the door and said, ”Mister said it was warm. The people on the balcony want to change the flowers in time, so I can change the flowers for him. Look, there's only me and my cooking auntie at home, and my cooking auntie's waist isn't that good, so she can't do this kind of physical work. I can only have you come and help me, ChenCan, you won't blame me, will you? ”

”How could that be?” Xu Chencan followed her inside.

Chu Lingyu's bedroom wasn't very big, only a bed, a bedside table, and a chair. Other than these, there was nothing else.

There was a large glass door in the bedroom. The door opened onto a wide balcony with rattan chairs, tables, and a few pots of flowers.

Xu Chencan stepped forward to move the flowers, but Aunt Ling stopped her, ”Chencan, you don't need to do all this physical work. Just help me clean the dust under the flower pot. I'll do it.”

Xu Chencan insisted on helping Aunt Ling carry the flowers down two basins, then picked up a broom to sweep away the dust on the balcony.

By the time she finished scanning the room and was ready to leave, it was already dark. She thought that she was about to go out, so she didn't turn on the bedroom light.

However, when he reached the door, he realized that the door could no longer be opened.

She thought there was a problem with the door lock and tried to turn on the light, but the light wouldn't come on.

”Aunt Ling!” ”I can't get out!”

”Chencan, wait a moment. There's no electricity. I'll go down and find a flashlight. You wait patiently first.” Aunt Ling's voice faded away.

Xu Chencan waited anxiously behind the door.

After about ten minutes, she heard footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of the lock being turned.

The door finally opened, and Xu Chencan hurried out, ”Aunt Ling, it's so dark here …” Her voice stopped abruptly.

She hit a hard chest.

The fragrance of the ancient dragon perfume on it was something Chu Lingyu was used to.

She started to step back, but he held her hand.

”Why are you here?” In the darkness, Ling Yu's eyes could not be clearly seen, and only his voice could be heard. There seemed to be something strange within.

”I... I'm here to help Aunt Ling carry the flowerpots. ” His hands were big and warm, and Xu Chencan's heart was thumping as he struggled to break free.

”Carrying flower pots?” Chu Lingyu asked.

”Mm …” ”Let go …” Xu Chencan's face was boiling.

Chu Lingyu paused for a moment, then let go of her hand.

His Adam's apple bobbed.

The feeling of being alone in the darkness with her almost made him unable to control his emotions.
