As soon as Bai Zhenzhu found out why Gu Shanzhi called her via video, she quietly sent a message to Lu Xun: "Mr. Lu, today is Shanzhi's first day living in the apartment alone, and she is a little scared."

It was 15 minutes later when Lu Xun saw the message. He had just finished taking a shower, and the frightened look of the little girl appeared in his mind. His heart suddenly seemed to be tightly gripped.

After thinking it over, he called Gu Shanzhi. The call didn't go through at first. Lu Xun guessed that she might still be chatting with Bai Zhenzhu. It was already 9:45 at this time. Without thinking, he put on his coat, picked up the car keys, and walked out.

Mrs. Lu only saw the taillights of her son's car as he hurried out the door.

After a while, Lu Xun called Gu Shanzhi again. When the call was connected, he suddenly felt a little nervous. He couldn't say that Bai Zhenzhu had informed on him, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Xiao Zhi, what are you doing so late at night?"

Gu Shanzhi just needed someone to chat with him, so he said, "Brother Lu Xun, how come you showed up at the right time?"

"What's wrong? Xiao Zhi's tone seems not right. Are you not feeling well?" Lu Xun became nervous and stepped on the accelerator more and more.

Gu Shanzhi calmed himself down and said, "Tonight is my first day living alone. I'm a little scared and want to find someone to chat with. I was just chatting with Zhenzhu, but she had to go to class. I'm still a little scared."

There was a pitiful feeling in her tone, which made Lu Xun feel even more distressed.

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Zhi. Brother Lu Xun is here to accompany you right now. No matter which neighborhood or household you live in, Brother Lu Xun will be there right away."

Gu Shanzhi reported the address and room number, then remembered that it was already very late: "Brother Lu Xun, you don't have to come. It's very late and it's not safe to drive at night."

Lu Xun smiled and comforted the little girl: "Wait for Brother Lu Xun for 10 minutes, and Brother Lu Xun will appear in front of you."

Gu Shanzhi was instantly moved. It feels so good to have someone who is willing to appear in front of you regardless of time and place as long as you need him.

Lu Xun continued to chat with Gu Shanzhi in a casual manner. Sure enough, 10 minutes later, he heard Lu Xun say to others: "I'm here to look for the owner of Room 3, Building 1604," and then he said to Gu Shanzhi: "Xiaozhi, I need you to call the security booth to prove my identity."

Gu Shanzhi didn't expect that Lu Xun would arrive in just 10 minutes. She quickly hung up the phone and called the security guard to confirm Lu Xun's identity. They said that Lu Xun could be released directly next time he came.

Five minutes later, Lu Xun parked the car, ran all the way to Gu Shanzhi's door, and rang the doorbell.

Gu Shanzhi opened the door immediately, and her eyes turned red when she saw Lu Xun.

Lu Xun saw that the little girl looked like she was about to cry, so he quickly pulled her in, closed the door, and asked, "What happened to Xiao Zhi?"

Gu Shanzhi choked up and replied: "Brother Lu Xun, I didn't expect you to get here so soon. It feels so good."

Lu Xun took the opportunity to hug Gu Shanzhi in his arms and whispered, "As long as Xiaozhi needs me, I'm always here. As long as you call me, I'll appear in front of you, understand?"

Gu Shanzhi's brain suddenly short-circuited when Lu Xun hugged her. She felt the cold air from Lu Xun's coat and at the same time, she could smell the scent of Lu Xun as if he had just taken a shower. Her face and ears were red, so she quickly got out of his arms.

"Brother Lu Xun, please change your shoes first and come in." After saying that, she took out a pair of slippers for Lu Xun: "These are the ones my brother has worn. Brother Lu Xun, please don't dislike them. I don't have any extra slippers at home."

Lu Xun took it and put it on without saying a word: "Don't mind. It's too late tonight. Next time, brother Lu Xun, bring your own slippers. Xiao Zhi can't mind brother Lu Xun."

Gu Shanzhi was suddenly amused by this sentence and walked into the living room with Lu Xun.

Lu Xun observed for a while and found that the layout of the house was what the little girl liked. He thought to himself, "So the little girl likes this style. It seems like it's time to decorate his office too."

"Did you decorate this house yourself?"

Gu Shanzhi shook her head and said, "This was decorated by my aunt. She knows very well what everyone in our family likes. I like the room every time my aunt decorates it."

Sitting on the sofa, Lu Xun continued to ask: "Xiao Zhi likes pink?"

Gu Shanzhi nodded heavily.

Lu Xun touched Gu Shanzhi who was sitting next to him and said: "Brother Lu Xun knows."

Gu Shanzhi looked confused: "Huh? Know what?"

"Nothing," Lu Xun replied with a smile.

Gu Shanzhi remembered something: "Brother Lu Xun, are you nearby? How come you are here so quickly?"

Lu Xun said half-seriously: "Maybe Brother Lu Xun and Xiao Zhi have a telepathic connection. I always felt that Xiao Zhi needed me tonight, so I went out. I didn't expect that the blind cat would really meet a dead mouse."

Gu Shanzhi was very shocked: "Really? So accurate, Brother Lu Xun, your sixth sense is really amazing."

Lu Xun thought the little girl was really cute. She actually believed him. He was worried that she would ask more questions, so he asked, "Xiao Zhi lives alone. How will she get food?"

Gu Shanzhi thought without hesitation: "Doesn't Lu's company have a cafeteria? I can eat there."

After hearing this, Lu Xun felt that it was not possible. How could he eat in the dining hall every day? "Xiao Zhi, how can you eat in the dining hall every day?"

Gu Shanzhi tilted his head and didn't think there was anything wrong: "The canteen is very good, clean, hygienic and safe. Would it be considered an occupational injury if there is a problem with the food, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Xun was defeated by the little girl's attitude of not wanting anything. "From now on, whenever Brother Lu Xun is free, I will take you to eat delicious food."

Gu Shanzhi wanted to tease Lu Xun, but found out he was so serious, so she said, "Brother Lu Xun, I'm just kidding. I only live here from Monday to Thursday. Uncle Li will pick me up on Friday afternoon and send me here on Monday morning. I don't have much time to go to the dining hall."

However, Lu Xun still looked serious: "I'm serious, as long as Xiao Zhi needs Brother Lu Xun, Brother Lu Xun will always be there. No matter what Xiao Zhi wants to do, Brother Lu Xun will accompany you."

The two blushes on Gu Shanzhi's face that had finally faded away appeared again. Lu Xun saw it and felt that he had done the right thing tonight and gained the girl's favor again.

It was already past ten o'clock. Lu Xun touched Gu Shanzhi's head and asked, "Is Xiaozhi still scared?"

Gu Shanzhi shook her head: "I'm not afraid now, Brother Lu Xun is here."

Lu Xun teased the little girl: "Brother Lu Xun is leaving later. What if Xiao Zhi gets scared? Do you want Brother Lu Xun to stay with you?"

After saying that, the little girl really thought about this question seriously, then looked at Lu Xun with expectant eyes and said, "Brother Lu Xun, can you leave later?"

If possible, Lu Xun didn't want to leave at all, but he didn't want to scare the little girl: "Brother Lu Xun can wait until Xiao Zhi falls asleep before leaving. If Xiao Zhi is still scared tomorrow night, Brother Lu Xun can still accompany you like this."

There was a strange warmth and emotion in Gu Shanzhi's heart, as if something was breaking out of the ground.

That night, Lu Xun waited patiently until Gu Shanzhi fell asleep, quietly went to the room to take a look, then quietly closed the door and left.

Gu Shanzhi slept well all night. The house was filled with the presence of Lu Xun, which seemed to make her feel at ease.
