Chapter 74 Accompanying

 "Is the other party a male?"

 "Well, help his sister look after the house."

 male? Or five o'clock in the afternoon? This kid is really brave.

The strength in Gu Qingbei's hand increased, and the tip of the pen felt harder. From a distance, Lin Zhi could hear the rustle of the pen tip rubbing against the paper.

 "I'll be with you tomorrow."

 If you can't help her make the decision, then try to help her with as many checks as possible.

 "No, I..."

"Don't reject me in a hurry," Gu Qingbei raised his eyes, his pupils were dark, and his long eyelashes almost covered his eyes, "I have no other intentions. As an employee of Jiahai, I have the responsibility to protect you." Personal safety. Besides, I'm just helping you check it out, and it's you who makes the final decision."

 When he said this, Lin Zhi couldn't find any reason to refuse.

What he said was reasonable, and she had indeed considered that someone would be with her when he came to see the house tomorrow night, but she didn't dare to think that this person would be Gu Qingbei.

Considering that the other party would come to see the room tomorrow, Lin Zhi tidied the room again after returning home in the evening.

After Xia Xiyue moved out, most of the room was suddenly empty. Now that the cleaning was done, the originally crowded house actually felt a bit empty.

Lin Zhi poured a glass of water, took some fruit and sat down in the living room while drinking. It was still early and she didn't feel sleepy yet.

The TV was playing unrealistic idol dramas over and over again. Lin Zhi was not interested, so he turned off the TV and walked towards the bedroom.

Suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated. Lin Zhi took it out and took a look. It was Gu Qingbei's WeChat message.

 [Have you slept? ]

His WeChat avatar is simple, a maple forest that doesn't look very clear, and the pixels are not very high. It looks like a random photo, but it's still a useless photo.

 Lin Zhi pursed her lips and typed a line on the information column: [Not yet. ]

Except during working hours, Gu Qingbei rarely contacted her, let alone sent her WeChat messages.

She had never seen him post on Moments, and for a while, she once wondered if he had deleted her WeChat account.

Today, for the first time, I received a WeChat message from Gu Qingbei. Lin Zhi was actually a little nervous for a moment.

 He still contacted her so late at night. Could it be that there was something urgent?

However, there was no movement from Gu Qingbei for a long time after she sent her WeChat message. Lin Zhi became more and more uneasy and sent another WeChat message.

[Mr. Gu, is there something I didn't handle well this afternoon? Or forgot something? ]

 Gu Qingbei on the other end couldn't help but frown when he received her WeChat message.

 Could he only be looking for her because of work? Can't it be a private matter?

The slender fingers holding the red wine glass shook slightly, and his pupils were dark.

 For some reason, he missed her especially tonight.

It's not like this has never happened before, but every time he looked at other things or thought about other things, he could temporarily suppress it, but today these methods didn't work at all.

 Therefore, just now I sent a WeChat message to the child by mistake.

Gu Qingbei put down the wine glass, twitched the corners of his lips, and tapped the phone quickly with his slender fingers: "No, it's not about work, let's talk about it tomorrow." ]

 [Go to bed early and good night. ]

 It wasn't about work, but contacting her so late made her nervous for a long time.

Lin Zhi was a little speechless, but in the end he typed out a few words helplessly: [Okay, good night. ]

 The next day, Lin Zhi and Gu Qingbei waited in the room for the arrival of the tenant as promised.

 This was the first time he came to a child's home, and he stood a little cautiously at the door.

It is a simple two-bedroom and one-living room. The living room is neat and tidy, warm and bright, just like her style.

"Mr. Gu, why don't you come in? Is there something wrong?" Lin Zhi hung his backpack on the coat rack and turned around to see him still at the door, feeling a little confused.

"No." Gu Qingbei put away her reserved mood, took a long step, and followed Lin Zhi to the living room.

He is tall and tall. In the past, he didn't feel like he was in his home or office. But now that he suddenly came to such a small room, he suddenly seemed a little out of place.

"Why don't you sit here for a while first," Lin Zhi pointed to the sofa next to him, "Want something to drink? I'll get it for you."

 With that said, she walked towards the kitchen.

"I'll do it myself." Gu Qingbei was not used to being served by her. Instead of sitting down in the living room, he followed her to the kitchen.

The kitchen was small, and Lin Zhi could easily turn around when standing alone. Now two people came in at once, and the space was compressed. The distance between the two before was particularly close.

 A refreshing woody fragrance came from behind, and Lin Zhi's long eyelashes trembled.

The distance between the two of them was so close that she could even feel his breathing clearly.

There was a feeling of heat in the ears, and Lin Zhi moved to the side: "Then take it yourself."

 "good."

Gu Qingbei's voice sounded above her head, low and magnetic. Then a clean and slender hand reached over her shoulder and took a bottle of water from the refrigerator.

 "What about you? Which one do you drink?"

 He took the water but did not leave. Instead, he asked her for her opinion.

"That's it." Lin Zhi grabbed the bottle of drink closest to her, closed the refrigerator door, and quickly returned to the living room.

Before the house watchers came, Lin Zhi and Gu Qingbei were sitting at each end of the sofa, chatting away.

 "How much is the rent here?" Gu Qingbei asked.

"Six thousand a month," Lin Zhi replied, and then added, "If two people rent together, it will be three thousand, which is half the price."

For someone like her who has just graduated and has little savings, sharing a house is the most suitable and economical way.

 "Well, the layout is pretty good, very warm."

"What are you talking about?" Lin Zhi pointed to the decorations on the flower stand next to her, "These were all made by Yueyue and I before."

 "Good."

It was past six o'clock and the person who had agreed to see the house hadn't arrived yet. Lin Zhi was a little anxious. She couldn't let Gu Qingbei wait here like her.

 Lin Zhi dialed the other party's phone number, and the other party quickly picked up.

"Ms. Lin, I'm sorry. I'm delayed by something here, so I might have to be late."

The other party's tone was sincere and he said sorry several times. Although Lin Zhi was unhappy, he didn't show it too obviously.

 "Then when can you arrive?"

"Six-thirty, oh, no, six-forty-five, I'll definitely be there by seven o'clock at the latest." He was also a little unsure, "Miss Lin, please wait a little longer."

"I'll wait until six forty-five at most. It's too late and it's inconvenient." Lin Zhi pursed her lips and hung up the phone after speaking.

She doesn't like people who are unpunctual, but it is indeed the rush hour for get off work, and the traffic jam is understandable.

 When Gu Qingbei saw the child like this, he knew that the child was late.

He couldn't help but feel a little lucky that he insisted on coming here today, otherwise the child would have to wait for strangers to see the house late at night, which would be the most worrying thing for him.
