Lin Xiaomi blankly looked at the bathroom where there was water streaming. She was not sure whether she was in a dream just now.
Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn't asked for a leave today.
As her heart did a flip, she struggled to get up, found her cellphone, and called Wen Jing.
When the cellphone was put through, Lin Xiaomi said, "Wen Jing, I've had a fever today. Can you ask for a leave for me?"
Wen Jing was stunned and then said, "A man used your cellphone to call me and ask me to ask leave for you this morning."
Lin Xiaomi was stunned.
Wen Jing changed the subject and asked with a chuckle, "Lin Xiaomi, tell me who that man is. What's the relations.h.i.+p between you and him?"
"We don't have a relations.h.i.+p. He's a friend of mine." Hearing Wen Jing's tone, Lin Xiaomi knew that Wen misunderstood them.
Wen Jing smiled. "You're a liar. How could a regular friend go to your apartment early in the morning and ask leave for you? Besides, we've known each other for so many years, so how can I not know your friends? Have you had a boyfriend? You haven't told me about him. Do you really consider me as your friend?"
"I'm telling the truth! He's just a neighbor of mine. I was unconscious due to fever, so he sent me to the hospital."
Lin Xiaomi was worried about what Wen Jing would guess the relations.h.i.+p between them, so she quickly hung up the phone. "Well, my temperature is still high, so I hang up."
She felt rather speechless about the matter that the relations.h.i.+p between her and him was misunderstood the whole day.
But, he indeed acted...
When the water stopped streaming in the bathroom, she fast jumped onto the bed and pretended to sleep with the quilt covering her.
Not until she finished the series of actions did she realize why she avoided him.
He had lived with her since he lost memories, so he must have treated her as his family.
Thus, he celebrated her birthday and attended her, which was understandable and reasonable.
In her eyes, it was good that she had such a nice brother.
Yes, it had to be the case.
When he finished the shower, he saw that she was thinking something with her hand tightly seizing the quilt. She looked rather serious and nodded her head from time to time.
"Wake up? Are you better?" Leng Yihuang shook his head and walked toward her.
She looked up and saw him walk out with a bath towel around his waist.
Thus, she saw his strong abdominal muscle with a distinct texture.
The water dropped down along his hair, which made him s.e.xy and her heart beat fast.
She said with a blushed face, "Why do you come out with such an appearance?"
"I forgot to take my clothes inside," said he. He then directly walked toward her instead of changing his clothes.
Sitting on the bed, he felt the temperature on her forehead and said in a soft voice, "How do you feel? Are you better? Are you hungry?"
His rough palm gave rise to a burst of moisture and fragrance of bath gel which she was quite familiar with.
"Why did you use my bath gel again?" She sided her head to dodge his hand.
He didn't mind her action at all. "I took the wrong one."
"Why have you been so odd today?" She felt that he gently looked at her with a hint of mood in his eyes which she didn't understand.
Such kind of unfathomable mood made her heart beat fast, but she couldn't understand it.
"Have I? Am I strange?"
She said shaking her head, "I don't know. Haven't you slept last night? Do you want to sleep?"
With his brows arched, he felt something and leaned toward her. "Okay. Can we sleep together?"
Speaking of which, he rolled over and tried to lie down beside her, which scared her to sit up right away.
"Where are you going?" He pulled her wrist.
"You sleep on the bed, and I sleep on the couch," said she.
Like he was unable to get her meaning, he said with a chuckle, "The bed is big enough for us to sleep on, so don't bother it. Be good."
He seemed to have told her to be good many times today.
However, she still couldn't accept that a single man and a single woman slept on the same bed even if she treated him like her brother.
"No. I've already got some better sleep, so you can sleep on the bed. I'll lie down on the sofa."
He tightened his hand and then loosened it. "Forget it. You lie down on the bed, and I'll sleep on the sofa."
He oppressed her onto the bed and slightly pinched her cheeks before walking away.
She asked with her eyes fixed on his back while touching where he pinched, "What's wrong with you today? Are you stung by conscience? Why are you good to me?"
Hearing this, he turned around to look at her and said with a smile, "Have you sensed that I'm good to you?"
As she was about to nod, a thought suddenly came across her mind-he would turn conceited if he was praised, so what if he showed his true color then?
"It's fine, just so so, better than before, but not particularly good."
Having heard these adjectives, he stared at her for a while and said suddenly, "All right."
All right?
"What does that mean?" asked she with confusions.
However, he didn't want to say more, so he put his arms behind his head and laid down on the sofa with his eyes closed.
All right. There would be ample time. Sooner or later, she would notice that he treated her well.
Didn't she have a crush on another man? He would squeeze the man out.
Neither of them spoke, and they quickly fell into sleep.
When she woke up, he still slept.
She got up without making any noises and stared at him for a while when she sat on the sofa.
He was tall, so his long legs landed outside of the sofa.
With his brows furrowed, he apparently didn't sleep soundly.
She didn't wake him up and quietly tidied the garbage in the kitchen.
She felt soft upon seeing the hotpot left yesterday.
But, her good mood was killed when she fed Little Nipper.
"Ah!!" She couldn't believe that her treasure-the little goldfish-she put in the drawer was in the cage of Little Nipper.
Worse still, it was bitten into pieces.
"How could this be?" She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Her shout woke him up. The moment he sat up, he saw her angry eyes.
"What happened? Why did my little goldfish end up in its cage?"
"Oh." He added in a calm voice, "There is no toy for Little Nipper, but I happened to see this shabby and old little goldfish, so I threw it to play. Now, it looks like Little Nipper likes it."
"Who gives your right to touch my things? Who do you think you are?" shouted she angrily with her eyes glaring at him.
Instead of speaking something, he silently fixed his eyes on her.
His eyes were filled with a hint of fury, disappointment, and grievance, making her anger reduced much.
Chapter 42 Who the h.e.l.l Are You?
Thinking of his kindness to her, Lin Xiaomi couldn't be angry with him but sadly looked at the little goldfish in her palm.
Leng Yihunag felt depressed upon seeing her sad face and said with a sneer, "Isn't a shabby goldfish? Out with the old, in with the new. I'll make it up for you by giving you a real one."
She hadn't wanted to give out her anger, but hearing his calm tone, she was p.i.s.sed off. "You can't afford it!"
"What? Wasn't it sent by your dream lover?"
Seeing her speaking nothing with her teeth bitten, he knew he guessed right. When he saw the little goldfish together with the newspaper cutting in the drawer, he knew it was linked to Xue Haolin.
Thus, he threw it to Little Nipper when she wasn't at home.
Humph!
Embarra.s.sment reigned the room.
Even the air seemed to be frozen.
She felt somewhat guilty, for she knew that her tone was terrible just now, but she couldn't control herself.
He had no idea about what the little goldfish meant to her.
It was a kind of faith and support.
But now, it was broken.
She glanced at him on the sly whose jaw was tight. He didn't look at her and just sat there with a sad chill.
She didn't know why "sad" came into her mind.
Anyway, she found him angry and a little pitiful.
He had been good to her recently.
She was in a loss and wanted to find an opportunity to make peace. Finally, she got one topic.
"I forgot to ask you where you found money to buy the cake and hotpot for me on my birthday."
She had thought he wouldn't reply to her, but he said with a sneer, "It's your money."
"I know it's my money, but all my money is here." Having searched her purse, she found that none was gone.
"Your bank card."
She was in a trance with her bright eyes wide open and immediately picked up her bag to take out her purse again.
She was so p.i.s.sed off that she almost cried when she saw that one of the bank cards was gone.
"When did you take it away?" She didn't know this.
She asked again, "How do you know my pa.s.sword?"
He said while lazily pointing at the computer on the table, "I used your computer to decode it."
"What?" She couldn't believe what she heard.
He glanced at her and said, "Haven't you said there was only 1,000RMB in it, but there was 50,000RMB."
"Ah, ah!!" Hearing this, she almost tumbled! He really decoded her bank card!!
She was stunned. According to her limited knowledge about computer, only "hackers" could do such a job!
Was he a hacker or an IT elite before he lost memories?
No!
"Haven't you lost your memories? Do you remember everything?"
He said shaking his head, "No, I don't."
"How are you capable of these?"
He despised her IQ again and arrogantly said, "I lost my memories, but I'm not mentally disabled."
He forgot who he was but remembered everything he had learned.
As if those skills were imprinted on his mind, the moment he turned the computer on, he naturally knew how to decrypt the pa.s.sword.
She didn't know what words could describe her mood now.
She rushed to the table like lightning, turned the computer on, and logged in to see how much money was left in her bank card.
However, d.a.m.n it, she couldn't log in!!
"You changed my pa.s.sword!!!" She really wanted to bite him!
Seeing such a look of her, he hooked his finger at her. The latter tightly bit her teeth and then obediently walked toward him with the computer in her hands.
Subsequently, before she could see clearly how he operated, he directly logged in.
Her bank balance was 72,000RMB.
She felt unbelievable. "Alas, so much?"
He looked still lazy. "Well, I used your spare money to speculate in stocks when I was free."
She really didn't know how to depict her mood.
As she thought for a while, two words popped up in her mind.
d.a.m.n it!
"Who the h.e.l.l are you?" asked she with her brows wrinkled. For the first time, she was curious about his ident.i.ty.
But, she was afraid of this unknown matter.
His domineering eyes turned blank. A few moments later, he suddenly said, "I want to know, too."
This question, however, only bothered her for three seconds, for after that, she fixed her eyes on the digital figures-72,000-on the computer.
It took her ten years to save up 50,000RMB. But, as several days were gone, she had one-half more money.
Based on such a speed, she would even afford her grandmother's medical fee.
Furthermore, when her grandmother recovered, would she possess small sizable money to provide care for her grandmother?
Her eyes twinkled glitter when she saw the five digital figures.
Her pa.s.sion for money was more than that of a handsome man! She almost got into the screen.
"Are you also capable of speculating in stocks? Since there is 70,000RMB today, based on the speed, does it turn 100,000RMB tomorrow and 200,000RMB the day after tomorrow?"
When he regained his consciousness, he saw her greedy face.
"Of course it can, but it won't be that fast."
When she wanted to laugh, he added, "I want to give the money to you as my rent, but now that you aren't grateful to me, forget it. I've moved my fingers to earn the money, but it can be gone more easily. "
He was about to stretch his hands, but she screamed, "No. I'm grateful to you. How could I not be grateful!"
He had to admit that she was quite intelligent sometimes.
At least, she knew his hidden meaning.
It was he who knew the pa.s.sword. In other words, the sum of the money belonged to him, not her.
He enabled to make her 50,000RMB immediately gone if based on his abilities, let alone earning 22,000RMB.
Worse still, it would be useless even if she went to the police.
In the instant, she thought her life was at his hands.
"Hahaha, it was my bad just now. I apologize for yelling at you. It's fine that the little goldfish is broken. We can't let it hurt our relations.h.i.+p, can we?" She curried favor with him with her expression changed, smiling happily.
He glanced at her and typewrote on the keyboard.
Each of his typewriting made her heart flip.
She felt nervous upon seeing him speak nothing. "Are you mad at me? Please be open-minded! "
"I made a mistake!"
"Okay, can you tell me how you forgive me?"
