Chapter 04: Faces in Memory
The man got up from the sofa and slowly paced in front of Lin Di'er, looking at her with her head down, her backpack fell at her feet, and he didn't dare to pick it up.
"You say you're not a thief, how can you prove it?" a deep bass voice came from above Lin Di'er's head.
"I came here to clean, it was raining just now, I didn't have an umbrella, so I wanted to read the book and wait for the rain to stop before leaving, but I didn't finish a page, the power went out, I could only lie on the table to rest, and then I fell asleep······" Lin Di'er said nervously, but her voice became smaller and smaller, so small that Lin Weichen could barely hear it if he had to listen carefully.
"That doesn't prove you're not a thief. Lin Weichen looked at her with her head down, restrained and uneasy, and suddenly became interested in teasing her.
"Then you can rummage through my bag and see if I have taken your things. Lin Di'er still whispered but also eagerly.
"Since you said let me rummage through your bag, it means that I can't find anything in your bag, do you think it makes sense for me to rummage through your bag?"
"That'······ That······ You don't want to be searched, are you?" Lin Di'er was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"Search? That's a good idea. Lin Weichen said this deliberately, and the corners of his lips had already risen unintentionally.
"That's not going to work!" Although he couldn't say it, there was obviously no confidence in that voice.
"No, then you must have put the stolen things on yourself. ”
The man's decisive tone seemed to condemn Lin Di'er in this way, making her realize that no matter how she explained, it was futile.
"You call the police, the patrol will prove it. Lin Di'er turned her heart sideways, and suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Weichen, but she was fearless at the moment.
In the dark room, Lin Weichen couldn't see her face clearly, and could only see her clear eyes, revealing timidity and stubbornness. The little person is defending her dignity in her own way at the moment.
"Huh. Lin Weichen suddenly smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" The sudden laughter made Lin Di'er even more nervous.
"I believe you are. The man's deep voice came softly, like a feather on the tip of his heart.
Lin Di'er didn't expect him to believe in himself so easily, and she was a little stunned, not knowing what was waiting for her in the next second, let alone how she should respond.
"It's midnight now, what are you going to do?" Lin Weichen helped Lin Di'er pick up the backpack and handed it to her, and his gentle words were even more for Lin Di'er's safety, which was very thoughtful.
"What to do?" Lin Di'er asked stupidly as she took the backpack and hugged it in her arms.
"You're a girl, it's not safe to go home now. ”
"But I don't think I'm safe with you. Lin Di'er smelled the smell of alcohol on Lin Weichen's body, which made her mistake it for a dangerous breath.
"Hahahaha. Lin Weichen couldn't help laughing out loud when he listened to Lin Di'er's simple words, and the irritable mood of the day was miraculously swept away. "I'm not going to do anything to you!"
"Then how do you prove it?" Listening to Lin Weichen's sincere words, Lin Di'er couldn't help but feel a little bit more embarrassed, and asked rhetorically by what he had just said.
"How? I don't know. Lin Weichen didn't understand why he was tired at the moment, why he had to consider the safety of a little girl. This has never happened before. But the people in front of him always gave him an illusion of déjà vu.
Lin Di'er hugged the backpack in her arms, hesitated for only a moment, and turned around and ran out of the door. Lin Weichen was left alone.
······
Lin Di'er ran out of the Shimao community, turned her head to see, Lin Weichen did not chase after her, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Under the dim street lamp, Lin Di'er was alone. On the autumn night when it had just rained, the cold couldn't help but make Lin Di'er hug herself tightly, constantly rubbing her arms with her hands.
She looked around and wanted to take a taxi home, but now only the cold night breeze answered her.
Just when Lin Dier wanted to try her luck by moving forward. She walked forward, but the lights were on behind her, and she subconsciously moved to the side.
The car behind passed her, but it stopped unexpectedly. Lin Di'er was suspicious, but she saw that the car window was slowly lowered, revealing a man's face in the city. was so handsome that it struck people, just one glance, making it difficult for Lin Di'er to divert his gaze from him.
But who is he?
"Little girl, where are you going, I'll send you?"
The deep voice sounded in Lin Di'er's ears, but it didn't make her eyes widen, this was the man in the apartment just now, and he was his employer.
Lin Weichen is not a kind-hearted person, and he can even be said to be indifferent many times, but today, he doesn't know why he did this, he just follows his own heart, so he will appear in front of Lin Di'er at this moment.
Lin Di'er looked at Lin Weichen, the night wind blew her hair messily, but it was like a net, and it was all open towards Lin Weichen. Through the messy and orderly hair, Lin Weichen saw Lin Di'er's face clearly, which made Lin Weichen's eyes widen instantly, looking at this face of Hibiscus that once haunted him in disbelief.
