An Nuo hitched a ride with Murong Chen and returned home together.
The two of them took the elevator to the floor where their house was. Then, when An Nuo took out her key and was about to open the door, she turned around in embarra.s.sment and looked at Murong Chen, who was also about to enter his house. She hesitated again and again before speaking.
“Will you still be here tomorrow?” An Nuo asked softly.
Fortunately, there were only the two of them in the corridor now, so Murong Chen heard An Nuo’s question clearly. He raised his eyebrows and nodded in confirmation.
An Nuo seemed to have mustered her courage. “I’ll return the coat to you tomorrow.”
Including his windbreaker today, this was the second time.
Thinking of how she didn’t find a chance to return the other party’s coat last time, An Nuo heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s fine. Go back and take a shower first. There’s no hurry to talk about anything else. Don’t catch a cold.” Murong Chen didn’t care about one or two coats, but seeing that An Nuo was so wet, he didn’t want to keep her outside like this.
Moreover, he had something to deal with when he returned home. This was not completely for the sake of rest.
When Murong Chen came to the branch company to inspect, he didn’t neglect the various decisions of Shengjing Group. Therefore, every time he returned to rest, he spent most of his time with his laptop.
When An Nuo heard that he was concerned about her, she immediately felt her face heat up again. She was afraid that something would happen to her, so she hurriedly nodded and hit the key a few times. Finally, after turning the key in the lock, she hurriedly returned to her room.
Her wet clothes stuck to her body like a snake crawling. The smoothness made An Nuo feel a little uncomfortable, so after parting ways with Murong Chen, she hurriedly went home to find a set of pajamas, planning to change after taking a shower.
However, when she took some clean clothes and went to the washroom to take a shower, she suddenly realized that there was no more water.
An Nuo looked at the tap he had already twisted open, then at the showerhead that was completely dry. She frowned and tried a few more times, but she still didn’t get the result she wanted.
How was that possible?
Even if she didn’t usually live here, the manager would be in charge of all the details of her life here. It was impossible for her to have no water for a bath. An Nuo tried the faucet beside her and realized that there was also such a problem.
An Nuo couldn’t figure out what was wrong, but it wasn’t good for her to keep delaying the shower, so after thinking about it again and again, she decided to call her manager.
“Wait a moment, I’ll check.” The manager was very efficient.
After waiting for two minutes, An Nuo heard her manager’s voice on the other end of the phone again, but this time, he came back with an answer.
The manager explained, “The property management said that there was a malfunction in the water supply system today, causing a problem with the water supply in some people’s homes. They’re sending people to repair it. It might take an hour or two.”
“An hour or two…” An Nuo frowned when she heard the time.
She didn’t want to remain in this state for so long.
Hearing the manager say this, An Nuo, who probably wouldn’t be able to take a shower for a while, immediately frowned and stood at the door of the washroom. She was still wearing her original wet clothes and was silent for a moment.
Knock knock knock.
A light knock came from the door and landed in An Nuo’s ears.
She suddenly turned to look in the direction of the knock on the door. Murong Chen’s face immediately appeared in her mind. Then, she ended the call with her manager and slowly walked over to open the door to look outside.
“You—you’re not done changing? Did I disturb you?” Murong Chen’s words had just started when he saw An Nuo’s still wet hair and clothes. He changed the topic.
It had been nearly half an hour since the two of them returned home. Murong Chen had calculated the time before coming to knock on the door, but he didn’t expect An Nuo to still be in the same state as when she first returned.
An Nuo pursed her lips and shook her head. “The water supply seems to be problematic. I can’t take a shower for the time being.”
She also wanted to take a shower, but unfortunately, the conditions didn’t allow it now. In addition, Murong Chen had knocked on the door, so An Nuo couldn’t leave him at the door and do something else herself.
“It’s broken?” Murong Chen was surprised by this news. “But it was still fine when I went back just now.”
Clearly, the bad luck only landed on An Nuo, and it didn’t affect Murong Chen, who was next door as a neighbor, at all.
“Perhaps it wasn’t a coincidence and only affected my house.” An Nuo also smiled. “The property management said that someone is repairing it. I’ll wait a little longer.”
“You’ll catch a cold easily like this.” Murong Chen frowned in disapproval.
He looked at An Nuo. “If you don’t mind, you can go to my house to shower.” “I—” An Nuo clearly didn’t expect Murong Chen to make such a suggestion. Actually, she had wanted to take the initiative to ask Murong Chen just now, but she didn’t expect him to come to the door before her and strangely think of the same thing.
“If you’re worried, I can stand outside the house, but I think it’s better to take care of your health first,” Murong Chen said quickly.
He didn’t think that there was anything wrong with what he was doing, but he remembered that his family sometimes didn’t pay much attention to their health, so when he saw An Nuo, he couldn’t help but say a few more words. When he was in the Murong Family, Murong Chen mostly played such a role. Seeing that his brothers would make troublesome moves from time to time, he frowned and wanted to scold them. However, when it came to An Nuo, the serious part was subconsciously omitted.
Hearing Murong Chen’s words, An Nuo shook her head.
“No need, no need. Won’t it be very troublesome for you if I use your shower?” She was a little abnormal.
The feeling of her clothes sticking to her body was too uncomfortable. Even her hair was wet. In fact, in just a short while, An Nuo felt that she could smell a strange smell.
In the end, Murong Chen and An Nuo reached a certain agreement, An Nuo carried her change of clothes and visited Murong Chen’s house for the first time.
“I didn’t decorate this place much. It might be a little monotonous and tasteless. The washroom is on the right-hand side.” Murong Chen made a simple introduction.
He took half a step in front of An Nuo and guided her along the way. At the same time, he pushed open the washroom door.
“The door can be locked from the inside, and the gla.s.s is not transparent. If anything happens, you can raise your voice and call me.”
An Nuo nodded as she held her toiletries. She had remembered everything that Murong Chen had said just now.
Murong Chen seemed to understand An Nuo’s nervous thoughts from the few times they interacted. Therefore, after he finished speaking, he took the initiative to leave the last step to An Nuo, while he went to the living room to prepare to work on the laptop.
An Nuo walked into the washroom with what she needed and locked the door. Then, she tentatively filled the bathtub with hot water and tried to walk around.
They were all in the same building, so the layout was naturally the same. However, compared to the dazzling array of cosmetics, facial masks, and other makeup and skincare products that An Nuo had arranged on the sink, Murong Chen’s sink looked especially monotonous..
