Number 1357 grinned at Lin Shanchu and gave her a look, trying to ask her if he had done the right thing.
Lin Shanchu squinted at him for two seconds before chuckling. “Let’s go home.”
Number 1357 nodded vigorously and followed her out.
The entrance of Boya Hotel was packed with people.
Many people had seen the video of Tang Qidai killing Kong Suyi, so the news already spread like wildfire.
The entrance was mostly filled with people who came to watch the drama unfold after learning the news, including many reporters. Wen Huan waved at Lin Shanchu in the crowd.
“Shanshan!”
Lin Shanchu smiled at him.
There were too many people and Wen Huan couldn’t squeeze through the crowd, so he could only shout, “See you later.”
Lin Shanchu nodded at him.
“Lin Suguang!”
Someone in the crowd shouted Number 1357’s name.
It was Jiang Weizhu.
After squeezing through the crowd, she stood in front of Number 1357 and asked, “Why didn’t you reply to my WeChat or answer my calls?” Number 1357 replied expressionlessly, “It’s impossible between us.”
Jiang Weizhu sneered. “Alright!”
She averted her gaze. When she looked at Lin Shanchu, her expression softened.
“I heard that something happened at the Cheng family’s engagement party.” Jiang Weizhu asked Lin Shanchu. “Did that person from the Cheng family kill someone?”
Jiang Weizhu had to discuss an important project today, so she only showed up at the engagement party for a brief while and left in a hurry. After she was done with her work, she rushed over just to intercept Lin Suguang.
Previously, she thought that Lin Suguang was quite interesting.
However, Lin Suguang seemed to have turned into a different person and was not as interesting as before since he was discharged from the hospital.
Since Lin Suguang was not interested in her, it would be shameless of her to continue pestering him.
Lin Suguang was not the only man in the entire Capital City.
Before Lin Shanchu could say anything, a voice came from the crowd. “They are out!”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Tang Qidai being escorted out by the police officers on her left and right.
Tang Qidai’s hands were covered with a black cloth to conceal the handcuffs.
Boya Hotel had strengthened its security management. Those reporters who wanted to reach the front row to get the first-hand news were stopped, so they could only take photos from afar.
Even after Tang Qidai was brought into the police car, everyone was still discussing the matter in situ.
Huo Xunzhou left with Lin Shanchu.
He did not leave immediately after sending Lin Shanchu home.
Lin Shanchu leaned against the sofa and asked him lazily, “Don’t you have something to do?”
“Do I look that busy?” Huo Xunzhou chuckled. “Am I so busy that I don’t even have time to accompany my girlfriend?”
Lin Shanchu nodded vigorously.
Huo Xunzhou’s smile deepened as he continued, “I won’t leave tonight then. I’ll stay with you.”
After hearing his words, Lin Shanchu kept quiet and just smiled at him.
“I think it’s fine,” Number 1357 said as he passed by them.
Huo Xunzhou glanced at Number 1357.
Huo Xunzhou could feel that Number 1357 would occasionally show hostility towards him, and sometimes he would deliberately matchmake him with Lin Shanchu.
Unfortunately, Number 1357 was not a human, so Huo Xunzhou could not really understand his logic.
He Xiang also came over and whispered, “Should I go make the bed in the guest room now?”
Number 1357 looked at He Xiang in confusion and asked, “Can’t you be a little more sensible?”
Speechless, He Xiang had an innocent look on her face. Then, she understood immediately and said, “There are a lot of things piled up in the guest room. I can’t pack them up. Sister Lin’s room is more spacious.”
Lin Shanchu was speechless.
These two people were really…
They understood her too well!
“Are you guys very free? Don’t you have anything to do?”
Lin Shanchu cleared her throat and asked He Xiang, “Aren’t you going to check the online news about Tang Qidai?” 𝙛𝙧𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝓶
After that, she turned to look at Number 1357 and asked, “Are you done watching drama?”
He Xiang trotted back to her room with her phone in her hand to read the gossip.
Number 1357 was dawdling on the spot, looking hesitant.
It was as if he had something to say but did not dare to do so.
Lin Shanchu’s eyes flashed with realization as she said helplessly, “If you want to eat ice cream, you can take it from the fridge but you can’t take too much.”
Number 1357 grinned. “I’m leaving.”
He turned around and ran towards the kitchen. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.
Huo Xunzhou watched their interaction.
“You get along very well with Number 1357.”
Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and widened her eyes in confusion. “Is that so?”
Huo Xunzhou said, “He didn’t say anything just now, but you knew what he was thinking.”
Number 1357’s expression was not as rich as a human’s. Instead, it was rather mechanical.
“He likes to eat sweet things, and He Xiang likes to eat ice cream. A few days ago, he saw He Xiang eating it, so he also ate… half a box of it.”
It had been a few days since the incident, but Lin Shanchu still could not hide the surprise in her voice when she talked about it.
Thinking about it now, she thought that it was ridiculous.
It was quite outrageous to eat half a box of ice cream in the middle of winter.
After that, Number 1357 had diarrhea for two days.
After that, Lin Shanchu stopped him from eating ice cream.
Number 1357 felt better after two days, so he craved for ice cream again.
Huo Xunzhou curled his lip after noticing the the disbelief in her voice.
At this moment, Number 1357 came out with a box of ice cream.
“I only took a small box,” said Number 1357 as he handed Lin Shanchu a palm-sized box of ice cream.
“Sure.” Lin Shanchu nodded. free webno vel
Number 1357 ate as he walked towards his room.
Sometimes, his behavior was a little childish like a child.
Huo Xunzhou asked her calmly, “Are you planning to keep him around like this from now on?”
Lin Shanchu explained, “He’ll leave after completing his mission.”
As for the criteria for completing the mission and how he would leave after completing the mission, Lin Shanchu did not know the details.
Number 1357 never talked to her about this issue.
However, she might have to wait for a long time since Number 1357 could not
even remember the initial plot.
Huo Xunzhou did not pursue the matter further.
He would not interfere in the matters between Number 1357 and Lin Shanchu. He only needed to respect her thoughts.
Lin Shanchu remembered that she had not been concerned about this issue ever since Huo Xunzhou moved back to the old mansion.
“Are you used to living in the Huo family’s old mansion?”
“So far so good,” Huo Xunzhou said as he gave her a look, trying to hint her that she finally remembered to ask him about this question.
It was just a place to sleep. It was the same everywhere.
Lin Shanchu asked, “How’s the investigation going?”
Huo Xunzhou curled his lip and replied, “Do you know what I’m investigating?
“Of course I know.” Lin Shanchu lightly raised her chin and said confidently, “The scheming Teacher Huo couldn’t have moved back to the Huo family’s old mansion just to take care of his injured father, could he?”
Huo Xunzhou previously said that he was investigating his aunt’s whereabouts.
However, he still got no news about her after a long period of investigation.
As long as a living person lived in this world, it was impossible for them to be out of sight without a trace.
She was either dead or hidden by Huo Zhuxiu.
Therefore, Huo Xunzhou decided to start with Huo Zhuxiu.
It was also the reason that Huo Xunzhou had moved back to the Huo family’s old mansion.
Huo Xunzhou said deeply, “I’m almost there.”
Lin Shanchu patted his head and said, “No hurry, just take your time.”
Huo Xunzhou grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips before kissing the back of her hand. He then changed the topic in a low voice.. “What do you want to eat tonight?”
