Chapter 6: You can temporarily live here

“Ah! No! I am going out.”

While we were waiting for the elevator, my stomach grumbled and made a long ‘gu lu lu’ sound to show I really wasn’t leaving with them.

I was positive they heard it. They just pretended they didn’t because it was embarrassing.

“I am going down to eat some noodles because I am hungry.” I shook my head as I avoided eye contact with them.

The elevator arrived and Shen Shaoqian made a hand gesture and said, “Ladies first.”

I entered the elevator by myself. The moment the elevator doors closed, I felt like my mental state was going to topple over. I tightly grasped onto the handrail as I stared into the mirror and howled at my stomach, “Why couldn’t you give me some face?”

I was moody as I went to my go-to noodle vendor stall. Honestly, their noodles weren’t the best. But a few years ago, the vendor’s daughter passed away from a car accident, and occasionally I would see her watching her father from the side when I passed by.

For some strange reason, I had passed by the stall many times but never had the urge to try it. On one particular day, it was as if I was possessed. There was a voice in my head that kept telling me to, “Please come here and eat. Come here….”

In the end, I sat down and tried their noodles. After that, I never went anywhere else for noodles.

Although I never came across the daughter again, I still continued to eat here.

“Boss, give me a bowl of knife-shaved noodles.”

Strictly speaking, this boss was someone I was familiar with. However, our conversations only consisted of ordering noodles, making noodles, eating noodles, paying, and leaving.

The boss was a very silent and uncommunicative man. Most of the time, he would be expressionless as he restlessly worked.

This time was no exception. The boss didn’t say a word to me as he handed me the bowl. I also didn’t say a word as I took the bowl from him. Then, I wolfed down my food.

I looked at my watch and was slightly concerned. Could Shen Shaoqian really handle everything within three hours? Was he going to give me cash? Or a cheque?

Haha. When I thought about the money, I was very giddy.

But what if the amount wasn’t something I was satisfied with? What should I do then?

Should I directly explode? Or shamelessly lay on the ground? That was a difficult choice…

After dinner, I decided to go for a voluntary stroll. If Shen Shaoqian wasn’t ready by the time we had agreed upon, I will go prompt him.

I was unemployed anyway. It was just to kill time.

The moment I returned home, I noticed that my hot bodyguard was floating back and forth in the corridor. He looked stressed and lost.

When he saw me, he quickly made a hand gesture indicating for me to hurry; as if something had happened.

“What is it?” I asked as I ran towards him. When I got to the door, I held my breath and understood why my hot bodyguard was so alarmed.

The door of my apartment was opened. My quilt, pillow, clothes, books, computers… everything had been taken away!

“What? A thief came in? I just went out to eat a bowl of noodles….” I entered the apartment absentmindedly as I subconsciously tried to search for my phone to call the police. Then, I noticed a note on the table.
