C35 You Are Outside the Door
Linjia suddenly wanted to laugh.
At first, she was so anxious that she felt as if someone had lit a fire in her heart. Her internal organs were burning furiously, making her feel indescribably uncomfortable.
But Su Huai suddenly appeared. He was so domineering that he insisted on coming with her. She had originally wanted to refuse. But after that. . . She actually didn't say the words of rejection. Her mind wandered and she was already standing here with him.
It was already late at night. The community was quiet. The lights were on in twos and threes, lighting up the buildings.
A trace of complicated emotions suddenly appeared in Lin Jia's heart as she looked at Su Huai's side profile. Since coming to Beijing to study, graduate, and find a job, many things had happened during this period of time. Regardless of whether it was major or minor matters, she was already accustomed to thinking of a way to deal with them alone. It seemed like this was the first time in her memories that someone was as stubborn as Su Huai. He insisted on accompanying her to deal with these trivial matters of life.
- They were even not considered friends.
"Remember to hide behind me when you get up there later. Don't let Vast Lushness bump into you and charge forward. " Su Huai reminded her worriedly when they got up the elevator.
Lin Jia laughed in spite of herself, "I was just worried that I would come over to take a look. There won't be any dangerous situations. This isn't a movie. Don't think about some soul-stirring scenes. That kind of thing absolutely won't happen. "
"Your parents haven't taught you how to be alone outside. The most important thing isn't how much money you earn or how much achievements you make. Do you want to learn how to protect yourself? Especially remember to be wary of others! The reason why accidents are called accidents, the most typical characteristic is that you don't have enough time to guard against them. This is common knowledge that even five-year-olds understand, okay? " Su Huai tirelessly spoke without stopping.
For a moment, the elevator was filled with his nagging voice.
Lin Jia couldn't stand it and glared at him. The trace of gratitude that had just been born had long disappeared without a trace.
Dingdong.
The elevator slowly opened and finally arrived.
Lin Jia ran out as if she was running away: "Wait for me outside. I'll go in and say a few words to him before leaving. Don't worry, we grew up together. His family and my family have been neighbors for over thirty years. No matter what happens, he won't hurt me. "
Su Huai's lips moved and wanted to say something, but in the end, he still didn't make a sound.
He watched as Lin Jia quickly walked to the door of the residence opposite him and raised her hand to knock hard.
There was no movement within a full minute of knocking.
Lin Jia did not give up and continued, but there was still no response from inside.
It should be that no one was home.
Su Huai shook his head and saw that Lin Jia's hand was red from the knocking. He couldn't watch any longer and raised his hand to grab her wrist to stop her from torturing him.
"Enough, don't knock anymore. He should have gone out. "
"Senior Brother Liao is used to sleeping early. Unless it's something extremely important, otherwise, he'll definitely be at home after ten o'clock at night. " Lin Jia's expression was solemn as she raised her eyes and exchanged glances with Su Huai. "It won't really be an accident, right?"
"Don't think about it randomly. Nothing will happen. However, she was rejected by the girl she liked. No one would be in a good mood after encountering such a thing. Perhaps he had invited someone out to drink and get drunk. It was just a way to vent his emotions. It's actually very good to be like this. " Su Huai tightly grasped Lin Jia's wrist, and his voice became slightly gentler. "Go back and take a bath and relax. Try to contact him again tomorrow or a few days later. At that time, everyone would calm down. Find another opportunity to chat and turn this matter over. "
This was the way mature men and women dealt with relationships.
Lin Jia frowned and followed Su Huai back.
Seeing that she was obedient, Su Huai also let go.
The two of them had just taken a few steps when Lin Jia seemed to have suddenly thought of something and turned around to run back. "No, I still have to confirm it. Auntie Liao and Uncle Liao definitely can't contact him. The hearts of the two old men aren't very good and there has been no news from them all along. I don't know how they are going to last tonight. "
"But. . . "
Su Huai still didn't agree, but he saw Lin Jia squat down and open a corner of the cushion. After tearing it a few times, she actually took out a key.
She smiled and heaved a sigh of relief, "Wait for me, I'll go in and take a look before coming out. "
"I'll accompany you. " Seeing that he couldn't stop Su Huai, he could only let her do as she pleased.
"At most five minutes. Wait for me outside. " After Lin Jia finished speaking, she used that key to open the door.
She bent over to change into her shoes. Just as she was about to close the door, a foot suddenly appeared in the crack of the door.
Su Huai didn't seem to agree. "The door is open. I'm outside. If there's a problem, you can shout loudly. "
Lin Jia:. . . "
Although she felt in her heart that Su Huai was truly superfluous, Lin Jia didn't persist in refusing.
Su Huai leaned back against the wall, his feet still pressed against the door.
He fished out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and since returning to the country, he intended to completely quit smoking. Normally, he wouldn't touch them when he wasn't able to, but he would occasionally have the impulse to light a cigarette.
He took out one and was considering whether to light it or not.
Suddenly, he heard a scream from Lin Jia.
- - -
After returning to her residence, Lin Jia's face was as pale as a pauper's. Su Huai poured her a cup of water and then took a thin blanket from the room and wrapped it around her shoulder.
"Are you sure you don't want to call the police?" Su Huai's voice was extremely cold.
"He's just drunk and doesn't know what he's doing. If he was awake, he absolutely wouldn't do such a thing. " Lin Jia held the cup of water and drank a large amount of water. Only when she entered did she realize that it was actually slightly hot warm water. She remembered that when she entered, she asked Su Huai for ice water.
But it didn't matter what water it was. She wasn't thirsty and was only using this action to ease her mood that had yet to completely calm down.
"If I call the police, there will be a stain on his life. His job will be lost and he will not be able to stay in Beijing any longer. Aunt Liao only has one son, Uncle Liao. Since he was young, he has regarded him as more important than his life. The two old men can't bear such a blow, and I don't want to ruin other people's lives. "
Hearing this, Su Huai sneered coldly.
Lin Jia heard it with an ear piercing voice, "Why did you make a strange cry?"
"Truly kind. " Su Huai's words carried a hint of ridicule.
"It doesn't sound like he's praising me. " Lin Jia put the cup to the side and muttered discontentedly.
"Do you know how serious the harm will be to you if that Liao guy gets his way tonight? Do you know that forcing a girl to do that kind of thing is already against the law? Do you know that just getting drunk isn't a reasonable reason? No matter how much alcohol one person drinks, In the end, his mind will still retain a trace of self-control, and it's impossible for him to completely lose control and go crazy!! He did that on purpose! On purpose?! "
Su Huai gritted his teeth and finished speaking. Seeing that Lin Jia still had a calm expression, the Nameless Evil Fire in his heart burned even more vigorously," You not calling the police to make him receive punishment is simply indulging the crime in another way. "
Lin Jia sighed helplessly. Her wrist, arm, and neck were still faintly aching. After being criticized by Su Huai, her body seemed to be even more uncomfortable.
"Lin Jia, you. . . " Su Huai intended to continue.
His fingers were suddenly grabbed by Lin Jia.
She curled up on the sofa, and her large eyes flickered with a watery lustre. She looked like an innocent little girl.
She even used a soft voice to say to him, "Su Huai, there won't be a very serious situation. Isn't there still you outside the door?"
