What exactly was going on?
Ling Chuxia’s mind involuntarily went into disarray, her brows deeply furrowed. She couldn’t understand why Xiao Zhao had no reason to appear here!
Had she seen wrongly? After all, people can look alike, and she had only glanced through a crack, so she hadn’t seen very clearly, had she?
No, she had to figure out if that person was really Xiao Zhao. Ling Chuxia hurriedly pressed the button for another elevator, swiftly entered, and pressed the button for the first floor.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Ling Chuxia stepped out with long strides and quickly ran out of the apartnt building. From afar, she spotted a tall, thin figure standing there, seemingly waiting for a taxi.
Since he was facing away from her, Ling Chuxia didn’t see his face, but just by looking at his figure, her heart couldn’t help but sink.
After all, she had known Xiao Zhao for so many years; how could she not recognize his figure? She hadn’t been mistaken; the person was indeed Xiao Zhao! But why was he here?
Actually, there was no need to ask why. The place Xiao Zhao ca from only pointed to one thing—if it wasn’t sothing personal, then it must be work-related.
Xiao Zhao was a true native of Liang City, and his whole family was in Liang City, so there was no way he was here for any personal reasons. That left only work, and his work could only be related to Shi Che.
Shi Che...
Was Shi Che here? No, that couldn’t be! He had returned to Liang City the last ti...
However, a thought suddenly flashed in Ling Chuxia’s mind, and her eyes hardened fiercely. Her neighbor had suddenly moved, and the new neighbor was soone she had always wanted to et, but every ti she tried, she never encountered anyone, as if they were never there.
Could it be...
Thinking of so possibilities, Ling Chuxia’s eyes widened even more, and her hands hanging at her sides gradually clenched tight.
No, it couldn’t be, it definitely couldn’t be.
She had already made things very clear with Shi Che the last ti; how could he possibly have moved next door to her?
Right, she must be overthinking it, overthinking it.
Ling Chuxia kept comforting herself, yet her heart just wouldn’t settle down, causing her to wander around a supermarket and buy a large bag of items to bring back, only to find that none of them were what she needed.
Ling Chuxia nearly collapsed onto the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling as her gaze slowly solidified.
Since she was so uneasy, she might as well take the initiative to find out if Shi Che had really moved next door.
She abruptly sat up, grabbed her phone, and scrolled through her contacts for Xiao Zhao’s number, about to press the call button, when her hand suddenly paused.
How had she forgotten? Xiao Zhao worked for Shi Che. What was the use in asking him? He wouldn’t tell her the truth. So, she could only investigate the matter herself!
But how should she do it?
Go knock on the door directly? No, that was too direct and could alarm them. Should she ask the property managent? They might not care about her concerns. In the end, Ling Chuxia thought it over and realized there was only one clumsy thod left.
She would stake out.
If Shi Che really lived next door, he would have to co out eventually—he couldn’t possibly stay inside forever. She would just wait at the door, and she would eventually find out if the person inside was indeed Shi Che!

All morning, the phone hadn’t rung. Shi Che opened WeChat, swiped lightly, and sent a ssage.
"Chuxia, are you awake?"
