The house was not renovated, and the ceiling had only a low-wattage bulb installed, providing minimal light.
Meng Xiao was feeling a bit hungry and was about to go out to buy some food when she realized she left her phone behind.
But she didn't want to go back and see Yang Yi, so she stayed where she was.
A rhythmic knock came from the outside door, three knocks in a set.
There were two households on this floor, both were unfinished and uninhabited. They shouldn't have knocked on the wrong door — Meng Xiao got up and peeped through the peephole to see an unexpected face.
He was wearing a well-fitted black suit, eyeglasses hid his eyes, revealing only the corners of his mouth drawn into a cold curve.
Xie Li was standing outside the door, holding a meal box.
When she opened the door, he shook the meal box in his hands, smiling, "I thought you probably haven't eaten. Here, dinner."
