C53 Return What You've Lost

"Su Huai. . . " She bit her lips and bit down with all her might. That pain came just in time, allowing her to restrain herself.

"You've never been a woman who likes to meddle in other people's business. What's wrong with you today? You talk so much and have no sense of propriety, almost making people unable to recognize you. " Although Su Huai used a joking tone, his expression did not reveal the slightest intention of joking.

Lin Jia stood motionless under the tree in the neighborhood.

Su Huai seemed to have not noticed that she did not follow him as he leisurely walked forward, and very quickly, he disappeared at the end of his line of sight.

She guessed that he wouldn't return.

Her guess was correct. He really didn't come back, and it made her seem like a huge joke. She was barefooted and stepped on water as she stared blankly, and she was unable to come back to her senses no matter what.

- - -

Lin Jia couldn't remember how she came back home.

She adjusted the temperature of the water heater to a higher level than usual and used the boiling water to flush herself for a long time before her body temperature returned to normal.

When she walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe, her entire body was bright red, like a red prawn that had just been fished out from a pot of oil.

The red wine on the table came in handy.

She gulped down a full cup in one gulp, and gradually relaxed her spirit.

"Lin Jia, hold on. " She pinched between her swollen eyebrows and fell into the depths of the sofa, falling into a deep sleep.

This sleep was filled with dreams without interruption, and it was actually all related to Su Huai.

That hateful face in the dream always made people feel angry.

Lin Jia repeatedly warned herself to escape, but she was unable to really escape no matter what, and she only jumped from one dream to another in vain.

There was a knock on the door. It was already late at night, and the knocking kept on the door.

Lin Jia grabbed the pillow and knocked it on her head.

It was late. No matter who it was, she would never open the door.

It was as if they were competing. She would not stop until she opened the door and knocked on the door. She persisted.

Until the neighbor next door couldn't take it anymore and opened the door, shouting at the corridor, "Are you going to let me sleep? Can't you have some manners in the middle of the night!?"

The knocking on the door disappeared.

Lin Jia opened her eyes and waited calmly. Nobody knocked on the door again after a long time. They must have given up.

That would be the best.

She closed her eyes and started to feel sleepy again. Her phone, which was not far away, suddenly rang. It had been ringing for a long time, but it still did not show any signs of stopping.

The name displayed on the screen was "Su Huai. " The most boring man in the world, turning hostile faster than flipping a book.

He was ruthless and ruthless more than two hours ago, and he turned around to leave as if he didn't have anything to talk about or discuss with her. You, Lin Jia, don't act like you're thinking too highly of yourself.

But now, he was knocking on the door and calling. What was he trying to do?

"Manager Su, can you take a look at the time? It doesn't matter if you want to talk about business or private matters. Don't you think you are going too far?" Lin Jia had a cold and her throat was seriously hoarse. Coupled with the fact that she had just been woken up, she was overflowing with negative emotions.

"Come out for a while. " He ordered.

"No, we'll talk about it tomorrow, that's all. " Lin Jia hung up the phone.

Right now, the person she least wanted to see was Su Huai. If she didn't want to see him, she didn't want to hear his voice either. Please, could you let her sleep peacefully for a while?

Only a few seconds later, her phone rang again.

"What do you want again? Do you want me to blacklist you in order to give you peace?" Lin Jia growled.

"There's a gift for you. I put it in the deposit box downstairs. The number is four sixes. Remember to go get it. Good night, Lin Jia. " After saying that, she quickly hung up. She didn't even have time to react.

"What is it?" Lin Jia's last bit of sleepiness disappeared just like that.

She suddenly sat up, and after a while, the buzzing sound in her head finally stopped.

"What the hell? After saying so much, you ruined that fragile relationship between us, and now you want to give me some gifts and let it go? Who cares about your gifts!? I don't want them! I don't want this friend of yours either. We'll go our separate ways in the future. It's better to be strangers in private. "

Lin Jia wrapped her pajamas tightly and added a coat on the outside.

She wanted to go to the deposit box and take out the things that Su Huai had given her. After that, she knocked on his door and directly smashed it onto his body.

She wanted to tell him face to face that she shouldn't spend her mind on boring matters. To her, that was a disguised form of harassment.

She also thought of a string of words. There wasn't a single word, but it was definitely very aggressive.

She had to return the previous feeling of being angry to him, and let him experience what it felt like to be angry.

However, all these complicated feelings suddenly disappeared the moment she opened the deposit box.

There was a blue backpack in the box. The belt was also blue and white, and it looked a little fresh.

This backpack looked really familiar. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed to be the one she had thrown away.

Lin Jia could not believe her eyes. That's right. That night when she went to the bar, the bag she casually took was this one. She stuffed a wallet, a key, and a makeup bag in it. Of course, there was also a protective talisman that never left her body.

On the bottom right corner of the bag, there was a mark that was accidentally touched when drinking red wine.

There was also a mark on the bag in front of her. It was exactly the same as her one.

No, it wasn't exactly the same. It was simply her one!!

Lin Jia grabbed the bag and pressed it to confirm that there was something else in the bag.

She had no time to think about why the thing she threw away would appear again in such an unimaginable way. Her fingers trembled slightly. She unzipped the zipper and pulled the wallet keys to the side, searching the hidden bag inside.

When her fingertips touched the soft and smooth texture unique to the mulberry silk, Lin Jia felt as comfortable as if she had been ironed by warm water. She's here! She's still here!! Even if she didn't take it out, she would know that it was her protective talisman. All this while, it had always been able to continuously transmit a sense of security to her.

The ecstasy of regaining what she had lost made Lin Jia want to laugh, but she also wanted to cry.

She hugged the bag tightly. During the short journey home, she kept looking at it. She was really worried that the bag in front of her would disappear into thin air. Everything was just an illusion.

When she reached the door, Lin Jia had a complicated look in her eyes as she looked at the quiet and closed door on the opposite side.

In her heart, she was still very angry at Su Huai, but she felt that she should say thank you in front of him and then ask him what was with this bag? How could it fall into his hands if he threw it away in the club? That night, she didn't remember seeing Su Huai appear in the vicinity.

Lin Jia never liked to run away.

She felt that if she wanted to do it, she would definitely do it.

Thus, she stood in front of the Su Huai Estate's door, raised her hand, and lightly knocked a few times.

During the time she was waiting, she was actually a little nervous. She thought about the expression he would have when the door opened and she saw him, and what her first words should be, were words of thanks? Or should she ask?

A minute passed and there was no movement.

Lin Jia knocked three more times and continued to wait.

However, there was still no movement.

It was unknown whether Su Huai had fallen asleep or guessed that the person outside the door was her, and he intentionally didn't want to open the door.

It was already late at night, so it wasn't good for Lin Jia to keep knocking in the corridor. When it was noisy until the neighbor was resting, there would definitely be people opening the door to scold her.

She decided to go home first.

When she entered the house, the first thing she would do was to look through her bag properly. Just as she had guessed, The things inside the bag were all there, and the handkerchief that was used as a protective talisman was even more intact. Lin Jia spread it over her legs, her fingers slowly stroking the delicate pattern on the handkerchief. It was an eagle that spread its wings and wanted to fly. Its superb skills made the eagle look lifelike. It was extremely agile, as if it could escape from the cloth at any time and fly straight to the sky.

Lin Jia was in an extremely good mood.

This handkerchief was too important to her. It was so important that as long as she could get it back, she could instantly put down the unhappiness that had happened during the day and easily forgive the person who had made up her mind to cut off all contact a few hours ago.

Lin Jia made a call to Su Huai. She felt that it was necessary for her to personally say a few words.

The phone seemed to have only rung once before Su Huai picked it up.

He asked, "Did you get the gift?"
