Chapter 180: It’s Mine Now That You’ve Given It To Me
The evening breeze blew in from the balcony as a few drops of rain fell, bringing the coolness of fall into the apartment.
Ning Li glanced over.
"Is it raining?"
Fall in Yunzhou was always rainy and cold.
It would be winter soon.
Ning Li walked over to lock the sliding door to the balcony.
Once she was farther away, her sweet scent dissipated. Lu Huaiyu tilted his head slightly and tugged on the collar of his shirt.
Ning Li turned around and felt a little awkward when she saw that.
"Second Brother, are you feeling hot?"
She felt that the room was quite chilly.
Lu Huaiyu replied, "Mm, a little."
He glanced out the window.
"Are you going home?"
Ning Li nodded, put on her school uniform, and zipped up her jacket.
"Yeah."
The light rain outside would not cause any delay.
She had come over today without any plans to spend the night here.
Lu Huaiyu nodded and said, "I’ll send you home then."
…
It was a rainy night in Yunzhou. Falling leaves covered the streets that were lined with Chinese parasol trees.
Light rain fell on the car window, which blurred the view outside.
Ning Li looked outside for a while before she withdrew her gaze to look at Lu Huaiyu, who was sitting beside her.
He had closed his eyes and rested in the car, so he did not talk much.
‘Was he tired from waiting for nearly two hours downstairs?’
Thinking of this, Ning Li felt a little guilty.
"Second Brother," she spoke softly.
Lu Huaiyu’s eyelashes fluttered as he opened his eyes and looked over.
The car was very dark and was lit by the streetlights outside the window. The light flashed past on her beautiful and perfect face, making her eyes inscrutable.
Ning Li handed over something to Lu Huaiyu. "This is for you."
Lu Huaiyu looked down and saw a key on her palm.
This was the key to her house.
He raised his eyebrows slightly. "For me?"
Ning Li nodded her head.
Her things were mainly kept in the master bedroom anyway, so it did not matter if she gave Lu Huaiyu a key to the front door.
Lu Huaiyu smiled and said, "Are you sure? Do you have that much trust in me?"
"Didn’t you also give me the password to Yunding Fenghua?"
That downtown mansion alone was enough to buy multiple three-bedroom apartments like hers.
Not to mention, her apartment was rented.
"As long as you don’t feel like you got the worse end of the bargain."
Lu Huaiyu looked at the girl’s bright and clear eyes with her immense trust in him.
He felt it necessary to remind the girl to be more vigilant around him.
"Lili, hasn’t anyone ever told you that it’s easier to get cheated if you trust people too easily?"
Ning Li blinked.
"Then…will you be deceiving me?"
Lu Huaiyu smiled. "No one can say for sure…"
Ning Li frowned as she had not expected Lu Huaiyu to say such words.
‘So does he not want the key anymore? Or…’
Ning Li curled her fingers slightly to take it back.
Halfway through, she suddenly paused and handed it over again.
Lu Huaiyu saw her firmness and felt a little strange.
He had only been teasing her earlier about not having a key.
Lu Huaiyu knew very well that this apartment was not just a temporary place to stay for Ning Li.
