Chapter 57 Whoever contacts first is a puppy.
Bae Joo-hyun's eyes flickered.
This man saved me once.
A soft spot in my heart was gently touched.
But she immediately suppressed the thought.
No.
I cannot be moved.
If you're moved, you've already lost.
She took a deep breath and reorganized her defenses.
"Coco, even so, you can't sleep in the same bed as me!"
Her face turned bright red.
"Although I said I'd try dating, we haven't reached that point yet! I haven't even agreed, so how could you... how could you..."
She couldn't continue.
Li Zhengyi remained silent.
He looked at her, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.
That smile sent chills down Bae Joo-hyun's spine.
"What... what are you laughing at...?"
Li Zhengyi stood up from his chair, cleared his throat, and then imitated a woman's voice in a high-pitched voice.
"Ah, Zheng Yi, you're doing so well~~ I miss you so much~~ Please don't go~~"
His imitation was extremely exaggerated, with a high-pitched voice, an upward inflection at the end, and even a delicate pinky finger gesture.
"Don't go~~ Stay with me~~ What if you disappear again~~ I'm so scared to be alone~~"
Bae Joo-hyun was petrified.
The redness spread from the neck to the ears to the forehead, evenly and thoroughly.
"I... I never said that!"
"Anything else?"
Li Zhengyi continued to exaggeratedly imitate her tone from last night.
"Jungil oppa~~ Your embrace is so warm~~"
"I didn't say that! I didn't say that! I didn't say that! I didn't say that!"
Bae Joo-hyun threw the pillow at her.
Li Zheng dodged to the side.
"You told me. You told me everything. You said so much more, do you want me to help you remember?"
"don't want!!!"
Bae Joo-hyun covered her ears.
Her face was so red it looked like it was about to explode, her ears were like cooked shrimp, and even her neck was flushed pink.
He huddled under the covers, with only the top of his head showing.
Li Zhengyi leaned against the wall, admiring his victory.
Then he stopped smiling.
"Alright, since I'm the bad guy, you'd better leave now. You're safe, my second brother's matter is resolved, and you don't need me to pretend to be your boyfriend anymore. Let's break up."
After saying that, he turned around and went to open the door.
My hand is on the doorknob.
Suddenly, there was silence behind me.
There was no rebuttal.
There was no explanation.
There was no relief.
Something was off about the quiet.
He glanced back.
Bae Joo-hyun sat on the bed, covering half of her face with the blanket.
The mouth is moving.
But the sound was completely muffled by the blanket, and not a single word could be heard.
"What did you say?"
Li Zheng frowned.
Bae Joo-hyun pulled the blanket down a centimeter, revealing her mouth.
The sound was still as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
"..."
"Speak louder, are you a mosquito?"
"Should we... break up...?"
She pulled the blanket down a little further, revealing her entire face.
Her expression was complicated.
His lips were downturned, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes darted around, sometimes looking at the ceiling, sometimes at the floor, but never at him.
"If we break up... I'm afraid your second brother will..."
"My second brother has gone missing."
Li Zhengyi spoke very frankly.
Bae Joo-hyun suddenly looked up.
"Lee Woo-bin has gone missing?"
"Um."
"You two jumped down together, and you came back, so how did he disappear?"
"You don't need to know that."
Li Zhengyi spoke calmly.
"All you need to know is that he's missing now. You can't find him, and he won't bother you."
Bae Joo-hyun was shocked.
Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't.
In the end, he only uttered one word.
"……die?"
Li Zhengyi shrugged.
"I don't know. They're just missing for now."
"If he doesn't show up, just pretend he's dead. If he does show up someday, then he's still alive. It's that simple."
He was telling the truth.
Every word is true.
It's just that not everything was said.
Bae Joo-hyun fell silent.
Lee Woo-bin is dead.
No, not dead, but missing.
But in her mind, the two words were already synonymous.
If he were still alive, how could there have been no news of him for so many days?
If he were still alive, how could Li Zhengyi so calmly say something like "when he's dead"?
She lowered her head and bit her lip.
Then Li Zhengyi saw that her eyes were red.
"sorry."
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, it's all because of me."
"If I didn't ask you to pretend to be my boyfriend..."
Li Zheng interrupted her.
"Why are you crying? It's not confirmed yet. You can cry on the day of the funeral."
"Alright, go back to work. Stop looking for men all the time."
As he spoke, he walked to the bedside and pulled the blanket off her body.
"Get up, I'm leaving."
"I haven't been seeing any men!"
Bae Joo-hyun gripped the blanket tightly, engaging in a tug-of-war with him.
"Am I not a man?"
Li Zhengyi pulled hard.
The blanket flew away.
Then he froze.
Bae Joo-hyun sat on the bed, wearing only her underwear.
Black.
Complete set.
She'll be wearing her coat, T-shirt, and jeans to bed tomorrow.
My memory is correct.
How come I'm only wearing my underwear after sleeping?
At this moment, Bae Joo-hyun herself was sitting naked in the middle of the bed, like a lychee that had been peeled.
Li Zhengyi's gaze uncontrollably swept over her collarbone, waistline, and the faintly visible abs on her lower abdomen.
"ah----!!!"
Bae Joo-hyun's scream pierced the night sky over Kowloon Village.
She covered her chest with one hand and her lower abdomen with the other, curling herself into a ball.
"You pervert! You lecher! You scoundrel!!"
Li Zhengyi quickly turned around.
"Damn it, I made sure you slept with your clothes on last night."
"How should I know! You must have taken it off! You bad guy, pervert, lecher!"
Bae Joo-hyun's voice was so shrill it could shatter glass.
Li Zheng picked up the blanket and threw it over her head without looking back, covering her head.
Then he strode to the door and opened it.
Before leaving, he left behind a sentence.
"You definitely took it off yourself."
"It was you who took it off! It was you who took it off! It was you who took it off!!!"
Bae Joo-hyun's screams followed him.
Li Zheng closed the door.
He leaned against the corridor wall, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and put it in his mouth.
ignite.
Take a deep breath.
calm.
Calm down my ass.
I just can't shake that image off.
clavicle.
Waistline.
curve.
Abdominal muscles.
Snow-white skin.
Black.
Complete set.
He rubbed his face vigorously.
Women only hinder my speed in drawing my sword.
Every word was spoken from the heart.
He silently repeated it three times in his mind.
Just then, Aunt Lin from across the street came up the stairs with shopping bags on her shoulders and spotted him immediately.
He was leaning against the wall, his hair was messy, and he had a cigarette between his fingers.
Aunt Lin's eyes lit up.
That kind of aura that belongs exclusively to the head of a neighborhood intelligence station.
"Hey Li, did you have a fight with your girlfriend? I could hear her screaming."
Li Zhengyi raised his eyelids and glanced at her.
"Aunt Lin, are you going to buy groceries in the middle of the night?"
"Girls are easy to coax."
Aunt Lin showed no intention of leaving; instead, she moved closer to him and lowered her voice.
"You two are living together now, what conflicts can't you resolve? I've been through this, you young people are just too impulsive."
"Aunt Lin, if you don't go to the supermarket soon, the special eggs for tonight will be gone."
Aunt Lin's gossip-loving soul and her desire for discounted eggs engaged in a fierce battle.
In the end, the egg won.
"Ouch!"
She slapped her thigh, turned around, and ran downstairs.
He ran two steps and then turned back.
"Little Li, Auntie will teach you how to charm girls later! Auntie has experience! Your uncle back in the day..."
"Hurry up, the eggs are running out!"
Aunt Lin has disappeared.
Li Zhengyi leaned back against the wall and lit the cigarette.
About fifteen minutes later, a sound as faint as a mosquito's buzz finally came from inside the door.
"You...you can come in now..."
