Chapter 38 That Night

I don't know how long I was sobbing, until Lu Qi felt a little wet in his chest, and Lacey gradually stopped crying.

　　The hand on the girl's back patted gently, Lu Qi lowered his head slightly and asked softly

　　"Feeling better?"

　　"Um…"

　　Although there was a response, the girl still hugged her tightly, making Lu Qi unable to move.

　　Lu Qi looked helpless, rolled his eyes, deliberately found a topic and said:

　　"Are you hungry?"

　　"Um…"

　　"Then I'll go get you something to eat?"

　　"OK."

　　The corners of Lu Qi's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but reminded: "Don't just say yes, but let me go!"

　　Hearing this, Lacey let go of her hands reluctantly.

　　Just after leaving the warm embrace, Lacey noticed that there was a pool of water on Lu Qi's chest, his face flushed, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I got your clothes wet..."

　　"It's alright, I'll just change it."

　　Going downstairs to the cloakroom of the bedroom, Lu Qi took off his shirt and changed into a clean T-shirt.

　　Just as he was about to go out, he seemed to have thought of something, then stopped, turned around, and put on a white shirt.

　　Back in the living room, Lu Qi threw the shirt in his hand to Lacey and said:

　　"Well, don't catch a cold later..."

　　Hearing this, Lacey, who was holding a shirt in his hand, was stunned for a moment, looked down at his upper body, and suddenly realized.

　　Because of the night running, she only wore a pink sports vest on her upper body. If you look closely, you can even see the whiteness that can't be wrapped.

　　The night temperature in Los Santos plummeted a lot compared to the daytime. Even indoors, you can still feel a little bit of coolness.

　　Putting on his shirt obediently, looking at Lu Qi's busy figure in the kitchen, Lacey's heart warmed, and she couldn't help muttering in a low voice:

　　"This guy looks cold, but he's actually quite careful..."

　　He took out some mushrooms, fruits and vegetables from the refrigerator. Lu Qi planned to make something like vegetable soup to warm up the frightened Lacey's stomach.

　　While packing the ingredients, a bell rang suddenly in the pocket of my trousers.

　　Not caring about Lacey's distant gaze, Lu Qi took out his phone, swiped on the screen, and put it to his ear:

　　"Hey?"

　　"Hey, buddy, I've been waiting for you at the gym for half an hour, and the equipment is about to be broken by me. Why haven't you shown up yet?"

　　Hearing this, Lu Qi glanced at Lacey on the sofa from the corner of his eye, and responded casually:

　　"I'm in a little situation here, maybe I won't be able to go tonight, sorry."

　　"Small situation? Are you all right?"

　　"It's okay, it's just some things to deal with, let's make an appointment another day?"

　　"No problem, brother."

　　After hanging up the phone, Lu Qi put the phone aside and continued cooking.

　　At the same time, Lacey, who was sitting on the sofa, was thinking about it.

　　Although she heard Lu Qi's words in her ears, she didn't know that the person on the other end of the phone was a man.

　　For a time, countless thoughts flooded her entire mind in an instant:

　　"He was on a date? Was it a man or a woman? At this point in time? Why?"

　　At that moment, even she didn't know why she cared so much about Lu Qi.

　　Obviously this is the second time the two have met...

　　Or in just a few days, Lu Qi, like a heroic knight, has helped her out of the siege twice; or under Lu Qi's cold surface, there is a kind and warm heart, which makes her feel a deep sense of sense of security.

　　Inadvertently, she has long been fond of this Asian young man.

　　It wasn't until Lu Qi brought a pot of steaming vegetable and mushroom soup in front of him that the girl ended her complicated thoughts.

　　"Let's eat something..."

　　Take a spoon, take a mouthful of thick soup, and put it in your mouth.

　　The next second, the warm soup slowly moved down his throat and into his stomach, and Lacey instantly felt warm.

　　"Well... I didn't expect him to cook deliciously..."

　　Muttering inwardly, she did not forget to send the thick soup into her mouth spoon by spoon.

　　Watching Lacey drink the soup without saying a word, Lu Qi just sat there quietly, wondering what he was thinking.

　　At this moment, the sky outside the window suddenly sparsely rained.

　　This sudden night rain became heavier and heavier, and gradually turned into a torrential downpour with a "swishing" sound.

　　Raindrops hurriedly beat the wooden floor and roof of the balcony, like playing a symphony, melodious and moving.

　　Standing up, he closed the slightly open floor-to-ceiling windows, and Lu Qi turned on the electric fireplace by the way, so that the temperature in the room was slightly warmer.

　　Sitting back on the sofa again, Lu Qi glanced at the empty pot emptied by the speed of light, and said to Lacey indifferently:

　　"This rain, I'm afraid it won't stop for a while. When the rain stops, I'll drive you home."

　　Hearing this, Lacey put down the spoon and paused for a while. Then, she met Lu Qi's eyes with those azure blue eyes.

　　"I..."

　　Looking at Lacey's expression of hesitating to speak, Lu Qi was a little puzzled, and then asked:

　　"What's wrong?"

　　It seems that he has already made a decision in his heart, and said in a decisive tone:

　　"

I don't want to go back. "

　　"Huh? Why?"

　　"I'm home alone, I'm afraid..."

　　For a girl who had just been attacked by a stalker, the reason for not wanting to go home was so good that Lu Qi was speechless.

　　Noticing Lu Qi's thoughtful appearance, Lacey immediately put on a charming and tender look, raised a finger, and looked at Lu Qi with hope:

　　"Can I sleep with you all night and go home tomorrow?"

　　Afraid that Lu Qi would disagree, Lacey folded her hands together, blinked her big watery eyes, and said coquettishly:

　　"Please, just one night . "

　　Lu Qi didn't reply immediately, but looked at the torrential rain outside the window, and then agreed:

　　"Whatever you want, anyway, the room has..."

　　After a pause, Lu Qi continued: "Just, do you want to tell the agent or something..."

　　Before he could finish speaking, Lacey, who was delighted, immediately interrupted:

　　"No, I don't have a schedule tomorrow morning, she won't come to find me."

　　"By the way, can I borrow the bathroom? I'm sweating a little bit, I want to take a shower..."

　　"The second room on the left downstairs."

　　"Thank you!"

　　Looking at Lacey's brisk figure when he went downstairs, Lu Qi twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly:

　　"You're really welcome..."

　　. . .

　　rumbling...

　　Lying on the bed, Lu Qi, who was half asleep, was just about to fall asleep when he was awakened by a thunder in his ear.

　　Turning over and looking at the heavy rain that was still pouring down outside the window, Lu Qi was about to close his eyes and go to sleep again when there was a sudden knock at the door.

　　Accompanied by Lacey's low voice:

　　"Alix, are you asleep?"

　　Taking a deep breath, he lifted the quilt, and Lu Qi, with a helpless expression on his face, got up and walked to the door, opening the door:

　　"what happened again?"

　　I saw Lacey, who was only wearing a white shirt, with messy blond hair draped over her shoulders, holding a pillow in her arms, leaning against the door, looking at Lu Qi pitifully:

　　"Thunder, I'm scared alone and can't sleep..."

　　Looking at the girl up and down, Lu Qi couldn't help sighing and asked:

　　"What do you want?"

　　"Can I... sleep with you..."
