The car steadily entered a high-class community in T City.
Speaking of this, it is also Lu Wei Xi’s first time coming to his house. When Jian Chi swung open the door, Lu Wei Xi was surprised by the sight.
There was no reason for it except that the house is way too clean for a single man. It is even cleaner than her own dormitory.
When she was in New York, she was able to console herself because there is 24-hour housekeeping over there. But now, there is no excuse to comfort herself here.
Sure enough, like Ye Fei said, Jian Chi is a neat freak.
The house is a small two-story city villa. The entire house is covered with expensive mahogany floorboards with several ink-wash paintings hanging on the walls. Although Lu Wei Xi doesn’t understand it, she can tell that the strokes are skilled and strong.
She put on a pair of slippers and looked at it several times. She couldn’t help but curiously ask, “Jian Chi, who did these ink paintings hanging on your wall?”
Jian Chi rolled up his cuff and glanced at the paintings, “My mom painted them and wanted to hang them up.”
There was faint displeasure in his voice.
Lu Wei Xi did not expect this answer and was momentarily muddled.
And the other party only loosely rolled up his sleeves and just turned to walk into the kitchen.
Lu Wei Xi followed him to the kitchen and leaned against the transparent glass door, “Are you making lunch right now?”
“What else?” Jian Chi started to wash the vegetables without turning his head.
As if she had discovered a new world, Lu Wei Xi rushed over and look at the scene below the faucet. His elegant and slender hands ate skillfully picking and washing the vegetables. She couldn’t look away.
Right now, the cold and noble Jian Chi is nowhere in sight as if he had stepped down from the altar and into the human world doing simple household chores. It is simply unfathomable.
Lu Wei Xi stared at him for a while and shamefully asked, “Jian Chi, will you dislike me if I tell you that I can’t even make stir-fried potato strips?”
“No.” He put the cabbage in his hand into a glass bowl.
Lu Wei Xi felt moved. She rolled up her sleeves and sincerely walked over, “Do you need help? I can wash or cut the vegetables?”
“No.”
His tone was cold and indifferent, like a bucket of ice water was poured on her.
Jian Chi turned on the range hood and expressionlessly said, “Be good. Go to the living room and play for a while.”
Although she knows that he is ignoring her, Lu Wei Xi thought about it and couldn’t find anything she could do to help so she nodded and left the kitchen.
In addition to being clean, the second thing that popped into her head about Jian Chi is that he is very simple. In the living room, there are no unnecessary items or decor on the sofa, desk or the coffee table. It is just too simple.
However, it inexplicably makes others feel that it is very polished and tasteful. The layout of the furniture in his house is completely different from the ones placed in a normal house. If it could be summarized in one sentence, one is unable to say that it does not look good but it is also very unique.
Perhaps this is the taste of a professional designer.
Bored, Lu Wei Xi walked around the living room a few times before she opened the laptop on the desk.
When she first turned on the computer, she was blinded by the number of English folders on the desktop.
Her eyes glossed past those work files. Just as she was about to open the webpage for Weibo, her line of sight was involuntarily attracted to another icon on the desktop.
That icon is not very eye-catching. It is placed on the very far left corner of the screen looking as if it had not been opened for a long time.
The name of the icon is “Abandoned OL.”
After a brief moment of surprise, Lu Wei Xi snapped out of it.
Jian Chi also plays this game?
For some unknown reason, a strange feeling crept up into her heart. This feeling….is like there is something that she had completely ignored. Lu Wei Xi bit her lips and hesitated for a while before she double-clicked the game icon to start it.
The login screen appeared in front of her. Lu Wei Xi stared at it for a long time and in the end gave up on trying to guess the password. She brought the laptop all the way to the kitchen entrance and asked, “Jian Chi, what is your password for “Abandoned OL”?”
“Abandoned OL?” Jian Chi who had been cooking over the stove looked back. It took a while for him to process what she said before he reported a string of numbers.
It seems that he is very busy and has no time to take care of her.
Lu Wei Xi entered a string of numbers on the password field and clicked “Enter Game.” A second later the progress bar appeared on the screen.
She simply put the laptop on the dining table and sat cross-legged in the chair.
After going through a long five-minute loading time, the system showed that the game had successfully logged in.
Lu Wei Xi’s heart heavily thumped in her chest. She cautiously and nervously looked at the screen.
On the screen, that high-level player dressed in top-notch gear stood under the bright peach tree looking elegant and out of this world.
And his character name is clearly written on top of it: Old Age.
She stood frozen in place.
After a very long amount of time did she come back to her senses.
The details of what happened before rushed into her brain again….. At that time, he was teaching her how to PK over and over again asking her if she understood or not and even accompanied her to stand silently there at the Drunken Dream Pavilion.
Turns out it was actually him.
Lu Wei Xi doesn’t know if it was chance or fate but for the first time, she felt that she and Jian Chi are destined.
Because up to this point, Lu Wei Xi believes that it is hard to come by for two strangers who have nothing to do with each other to create this much fate.
