Chapter 3 Xia Qing
"Eat quickly."

Lin Guzhi opened the bread package for Xiaoxi and inserted the milk straw into the package. Then he asked Xiaoxi to sit on the sofa to eat, while he looked around the room one by one while chewing the bread.

The house is not small, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The room is fully equipped with not only furniture and electrical appliances, but also bed sheets and quilt covers.

If there wasn't a single piece of clothing in the closet after he opened it, Lin Guzhi would have suspected that someone had lived here not long ago.

On the bedside table in one of the bedrooms, Lin Guzhi also found a photo frame, which contained the photo of Xia Qing.

The young and beautiful female star wore a white dress and a black sun hat, smiling sweetly in the sunshine.

Those eyes were clear, bright, and moving, and their gentleness and charm could be felt even through the photo.

It seems that the previous owner of this house liked this singer named Xia Qing very much.

Lin Guzhi thought to himself.

He finished eating the bread and checked all the rooms. He went back to the coffee table, picked up the carton of milk and drank it, and asked Xiaoxi: "Is it delicious, Xiaoxi?"

"Mmmmm, so good!"

Xiaoxi nodded repeatedly.

The food in this world is different from that in the end times. It is not just for filling hunger.

The soft bread and the sweet cream in the bread sandwich were an incomparable delicacy for both Xiaoxi and Lin Guzhi at this moment.

Lin Guzhi finished a piece of bread in no time. Xiaoxi was also eating voraciously, her mouth was full of food, and there was food all over her mouth, so that she couldn't speak clearly.

"Drink some milk and don't eat too much."

Lin Guzhi touched Xiaoxi's head and reminded her.

He had noticed that there were rags and a broom and mop in the bathroom, so he prepared to take the rag and wipe everything that could be wiped, and then sweep and mop the floor.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door.

"Swish, swish—"

Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi looked towards the door at the same time.

Xiaoxi immediately retreated to the corner, minimizing her presence, while Lin Guzhi quickly moved behind the door and looked out through the peephole.

There was indeed someone outside, and he was so close to the door that Lin Guzhi couldn't see the whole picture. He was rustling around, and no one knew what he was doing.

Is it a thief? Or someone else?

Lin Guzhi guessed for a moment, then made a prompt decision and opened the door to go out.

"Have……"

A woman's voice was heard outside, but she was interrupted before she could finish half a word.

Lin Guzhi's hand was already on a woman's neck, choking back her voice.

"Well……"

The woman was in extreme pain and subconsciously raised her hands to pry the hands around her neck.

However, that hand was like an iron clamp, how could she pry it open?
Fortunately, Lin Guzhi quickly recognized the woman and said, "It's you?!" and let go of the woman's neck.

The woman in front of him was wearing a mask and her cap was pulled down low, but Lin Guzhi had long since developed a meticulous observation ability, and he could tell just from the woman's eyes -

This woman was Xia Qing, who appeared on the magazine cover and in the photo in the room.

How come this female star is here? !
It seems that the photo of Xia Qing appeared in the house not because the previous owner of the house liked this female star?

All in all, it seems that this woman should be in no danger.

Lin Guzhi reminded himself that this was not the end of the world and he couldn't just do whatever he wanted.

“Hoo…Hoo…cough cough…Hoo…”

After he let go of the female star named Xia Qing, she immediately bent down, gasping for breath and letting out a few dry coughs.

"I'm sorry, I mistook you for a thief."

Lin Guzhi said. He glanced at other places.

I have never met celebrities before, but I saw on the news that celebrities are always surrounded by people. I wonder if there is anyone behind this female star, and whether my actions just now were seen by others.

"Huh...huh..."

Xia Qing took two more breaths before raising her head, her thin white hands still covering her neck, and asked, "Who are you and why are you here?"

Lin Guzhi said, "I should ask you this. This is the place my friend lent me. He told me that no one lives here." Xia Qing immediately looked relieved. She didn't know who was worried about catching up with her. She looked back and said to Lin Guzhi, "Can you please let me in to talk?"

Lin Guzhi took two steps back and opened the door for Xia Qing.

However, Xia Qing hesitated at the door, as if she was worried that Lin Guzhi was not a good person and would do something to her.

Lin Guzhi didn't tolerate her either, and said, "If you don't come in, I'll close the door."

Seeing Lin Guzhi putting his hand on the door, Xia Qing became anxious and stepped in quickly.

"bump."

Lin Guzhi closed the door.

Xia Qing's body trembled.

"Om-"

The sound of a cell phone vibrating.

Xia Qing took out her phone from the bag on her shoulder, took a look at it, and said to Lin Guzhi, "I'll take a call."

Lin Guzhi glanced at Xia Qing and ignored her, going to the bathroom to rinse the rag and clean up.

Xia Qing thought the man in front of her was very strange. He was dressed like a refugee and his eyes were cold, unlike the people she usually met.

Since she became famous as a singer, her name and appearance have become well-known. Everyone she meets is polite to her, even if they are not enthusiastic.

Nothing like this person!
She just felt like this man almost killed her.

Even after recognizing her and letting go of her neck, he still remained distant and rude.

This made her a little nervous.

She regretted it as soon as she came in. She shouldn't have rushed in on impulse just because she was worried that the paparazzi would catch up with her.

This man feels much more dangerous than the paparazzi.

She stared at Lin Guzhi cautiously and answered the call.

"Aunt."

"Well, I'm coming in."

"Has your house been occupied by anyone else recently?"

"Well, I see."

"It's okay. I'll tell you if there's anything."

"Okay. I'm hanging up, Auntie."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Qing put down the snacks.

The person on the phone was her mother's best friend, Aunt Song, who also lent her the house.

Aunt Song said on the phone that the house actually belonged to Aunt Song’s son Dubin, and if anyone had been to the house, it must have been Dubin.

He also said that Dobermans are nice people, and if you happen to meet them, it would be fate, so you might as well sit down and have a chat.

However, Xia Qing was very sure that the person in the room was definitely not Doberman.

Why is Aunt Song’s son dressed like this?
But thinking about what the man had just said, Xia Qing understood that this man should be Du Bin's friend.

Although it is not clear why Aunt Song’s son knows such a person, the fact that he is a friend of Aunt Song’s son should make people feel more at ease.

At least he's not some obscure bad guy.

She put away her phone and stood at the door thinking, then she saw Lin Guzhi coming out of the bathroom with a rag, and her heart couldn't help but rise to her throat again.

"It's okay, Xiaoxi. Just continue eating."

Lin Guzhi said.

"Ah."

A delicate voice sounded.

Xia Qing was surprised again. She hadn't noticed just now that there was such a tiny little girl in the corner of the room.
