Chapter 693 'Sleepwalking'
Capital city, Lu family manor.
"Fifth Master, important documents have been delivered to your study." Lu Qi, who had just returned from the company, went straight to Lu Xixiao's residence and found Lu Xixiao playing ball with Lu Jingyuan and General Hei on the backyard lawn to report on his work.
After quickly reporting, Lu Qi looked at Lu Xixiao who gently kicked the ball to Lu Jingyuan, and hesitated whether to tell Lu Xixiao about Wen Li's appearance in S Continent. He observed for a long time but couldn't find an opportunity. He finally mustered up the courage to say it directly, but Lu Xixiao took Lu Jingyuan and General Hei back to the room at this moment. Lu Qi, who was not sure of Lu Xixiao's thoughts, had to hold it back for the time being.
More than half a month later, Wen Li returned to the capital from S Continent. It was already night. Seeing the two adjacent villas standing silently in the dark, Wen Li slowed down his pace, stood in front of the two villas for a while, and then entered his own villa.
As soon as she entered the house, Wen Li went upstairs and rummaged through the drawers. She had a bad habit of putting things in the wrong place, so even with a good memory, she often couldn't find things, let alone this thing that had been there for so long.
Wen Li turned the room upside down and searched patiently for almost two hours before finally finding the watch that Lu Xixiao had secretly given her during military training in her freshman year in the corner of a drawer of the entrance cabinet.
At that time, Lu Xixiao used Lu Jingyuan as a pretext to send her a bag of supplies as she was about to undergo military training. This expensive watch was mixed in the pile of things. Later, Lu Xixiao tried to probe her, and she replied that she did not have the habit of using sunscreen. Lu Xixiao probably thought that she did not even open the bag, so naturally she did not notice the watch he secretly gave her.
Wen Li really didn't care about the gift Lu Xixiao gave her at that time, but he didn't throw it away. After all, it was quite expensive, and it would be a waste to just throw it away.
Later, when the Wen family fell and she moved out, she opened the bag of things that Lu Xixiao had given her, threw away the sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray that she had no use for and would expire sooner or later, and put on the watch.
This watch was the first gift Lu Xixiao gave her.
Wen Li, who had nothing to do and tried to find something to do, tidied up the messy room again, hoping to calm himself down.
After a busy day, she took a shower and went downstairs to wait for the takeaway.
She saw a remote-controlled toy jeep on the sofa in the living room on the first floor. It was a toy that Lu Jingyuan brought from next door.
After that, Wen Li started looking for toys in the hall.
She bought all of General Hei's toys and she remembered every one of them, so she could tell the difference between Lu Jingyuan's and General Hei's toys.
After searching, I found a row of toys on the sofa.
Wen Li sat among the toys, eating the takeaway food that had just arrived.
She just stayed in the villa and didn't go anywhere.
The lights were on in the villa, but it was still quiet.
Wen Li stayed there for about ten days, until the principal personally called her to remind her that the end of the semester was approaching. Unsurprisingly, when she showed up to take her final exams, she became the talk of the school.
Also discussed was Lu Xixiao, who had publicly displayed his affection for her in front of a global audience at the AWM World Championships.
After the exam, Wen Li locked himself in the villa again.
She is not half-hearted. She has a lot of work to do every day and spends her free time in the boxing gym.
Her body was busy, and her brain couldn't stop. Lu Xixiao's face and voice occupied her thoughts almost every moment.
Even my dreams at night are of him.
Although Lu Jingyuan and General Hei were found, she still dreamed of them. She dreamed of them being bullied by bad guys, being tortured by human traffickers, and having nothing to eat or drink. In her dreams, she felt their fear, dreamed that she and Lu Xixiao had not found them, dreamed that Lu Xixiao was exhausted and despairing after finding them, dreamed that Lu Xixiao was extremely disappointed in her, hated her and resented her...
Once again awakened by a nightmare, covered in cold sweat, Wen Li sat on the bed for a long time before getting up and walking to the window as if habitually, opening the curtains. Next door was Lu Xixiao's villa.
Lu Xixiao doesn't live here, and the bodyguards have been temporarily transferred back to the Lu family. Only someone comes to clean the villa twice a week. The huge villa has no light at all, and it is so quiet that there is not a sound at all.
Wen Li stayed by the window for half an hour, but for some reason, he couldn't recover from the nightmare.
She looked at the villa next door and suddenly remembered her sleepwalking incident. An idea popped into her mind, and she turned around and took the computer to turn off the security system of the villa next door.
She also opened the fingerprint lock.
After that, she walked into the next room without any obstruction.
She went upstairs to find Lu Xixiao's room and lay down on Lu Xixiao's bed in the dark. Although Lu Xixiao had not lived here for the past few months, the pillows, sheets and quilts were still changed every once in a while.
There was no trace of Lu Xixiao's scent in the quilt. Wen Li, with her face buried in the pillow, felt a little lost. This was like a strange new bed to her. Surprisingly, she fell asleep easily after a while.
She never allowed herself to rest every day, thinking that being busy and tired would allow her to sleep better at night, but it didn't happen. This rare sleep lasted until the next morning, and her spirit finally got a normal rest.
She came in in the dark last night, and when she woke up and opened her eyes, she saw the pink and purple rabbit doll next to her pillow, which looked out of place in the room.
