After falling into the shadow's trap

Time flew by, and soon it was Lan Xingyue's birthday.

"It's here, thank you master."

Xi Heng paid the taxi fare on the mobile phone, thanked the driver politely, opened the door and got out of the car.

Hwaseong Century.

She double-checked the location on the invitation, feeling a little dazed.

In front of him was a high-end community, even the gate looked like a luxurious manor in a TV series.

Inside the community are rows of high-rise residential buildings, neat and orderly.

This……

It doesn't look like a place to eat, does it?

Xi Heng hesitated for a moment, walked to the security booth next to him, and knocked on the window.

The security guard was reading the newspaper with his head down, when he suddenly heard the sound of "Tuk Tuk" knocking on the window, he raised his head suddenly.

Xi Heng was slightly embarrassed to disturb others, "Hi, may I ask..."

"Who are you looking for?" The security guard was very polite.

Xi Heng was stunned: "Huh?"

The security guard asked again patiently: "Which resident are you looking for?"

"Resident?" Xi Heng paused, then understood, "I'm looking for someone named Lan..."

"Oh, it's you." The security guard waved his hand and confirmed, "Your surname is Xi, right?"

Xi Heng nodded because he didn't understand.

"Miss Lan has said hello, you go in," he said, pointing in the direction enthusiastically, "go straight inside and turn in at the second fork."

Xi Heng thanked him, and walked in while looking at the surrounding environment.

At this time, she also realized that Lan Xingyue had clearly called her home.

Hwaseong Century... No wonder it sounds familiar, isn't this the neighborhood where many celebrities and entertainers live?

Known as "three steps, one idol, five steps, one actor".

... I walked three hundred steps, but I didn't see a single one.

Xi Heng complained in his heart, and silently quickened his pace towards the direction pointed by the security guard.

The more upscale the community, the better the greening.

She walked all the way, the street lamps were shining white, and the shadows of leaves were all over the ground, shaking gently with the breeze.

Turning around a clump of curled green vines, Xi Heng quickly arrived downstairs at Lan Xingyue's house.

but……

The other party didn't seem to have told her the access code.

Just as he was about to ask her on WeChat, a message came from the other side as if he had a heart-to-heart connection.

Lan Xingyue: The access code is eight eights

Xi Heng: ...This is too casual

Lan Xingyue: ＾－＾

The entire community has one elevator per household. When Xi Heng went upstairs, as soon as he got out of the elevator door, he saw the person he wanted to see leaning against the wall, and the door was wide open.

"Welcome, dear Xiaoxi."

Lan Xingyue wore home clothes, which looked loose on her slender figure. The neckline was open, revealing her smooth shoulders and neck.

She was lazy all over, dragging out her tone of voice, and the end sound seemed to have a hook.

"..."

Xi Heng didn't respond, and silently handed over the gift bag she was carrying: "Happy birthday."

Lan Xingyue didn't answer, and looked at her with dissatisfaction: "Whose birthday is it?"

"...Happy birthday to you." Xi Heng's voice was tinged with helplessness.

The other party still looked at her like that: "That's not what I call you, dear Xiaoxi—"

Xi Heng was stunned, blinked, looked at her for a moment, and finally turned away and compromised: "Happy birthday...my dear, Xingyue."

There was a faint powder on the base of the ears.

After staring at it for a while, Lan Xingyue narrowed her eyes and smiled, and accepted the gift in a good manner: "Thank you."

This building is facing the river, and Lan Xingyue's house is a high-rise building, and there are half floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room.

The glass has been wiped clean and clear, and one can see the excellent scenery at a glance.

When Xi Heng arrived, most of the sun had already set, leaving only a faint halo on the top of the mountain.

The lights outside the window are just beginning to come on, and the lights of Wanjia light up the dark night sky.

Xi Heng stood in the living room and looked at it for a while, a strong feeling of envy suddenly rose in his heart.

When she was a child, her biggest dream was to have her own sea view room.

Later, I found that it was too difficult to realize this dream, so I persuaded myself to settle for the next best thing, and to have a river view house is considered a winner in life.

Lan Xingyue's house almost satisfied all her fantasies.

"What are you thinking about?"

The owner of the Jiangjing room quietly appeared behind her, and suddenly made a noise, which startled Xi Heng.

Stepping on the edge of the plush carpet, she slipped a step, and she fell backwards uncontrollably.

"orchid--"

Before she could yell out, Lan Xingyue quickly pulled her into her arms.

A light scent of flowers floated into Xi Heng's nostrils, and it seemed to be mixed with the smell of food.

Sighing lightly, Lan Xingyue smiled and said, "Why are you so careless?"

"I..." Xi Heng hurriedly stood firm, and retorted unconvinced, "Obviously it was your sudden appearance that scared me..."

"That's it." Lan Xingyue nodded with a good temper, "Will I be forgiven for treating Xiao Xi to dinner?"

Xi Heng glanced at the dining room, but his sight was blocked by the vase.

She moved over slowly: "Well, it depends on whether it tastes good or not."

Lan Xingyue raised her eyebrows and made a "please" gesture.

The lights in the dining room were turned off, and only the light in the living room could shine through.

There was a candle on the table, the flame flickered, and the candlelight danced, illuminating an empty circle on the table.

Between the flickering candles, the faces of the two of them looked a little illusory.

"what about the taste?"

Lan Xingyue spoke casually, but there was a bit of imperceptible expectation and tension between her brows and eyes.

With food stuffed in Xi Heng's mouth, it was difficult to open his mouth, so the chicken nodded like pecking rice, and stretched out its thumb.

"Do you like it?" she asked again.

"good to eat!"

After tasting the delicious food, Xi Heng's dark eyes became sparkling, with two small orange-red spots reflected in them.

Lan Xingyue smiled: "It's fine if you like it."

Perhaps because of the emotional infection, she also became very happy, with a layer of gentle warmth covering the ends of her eyelashes and brows.

Xi Heng came to his senses: "Did you do it?"

The other party smiled and said nothing.

Xi Heng put down his chopsticks, but felt embarrassed: "It's your birthday today, how can..."

"What are you talking about?" Lan Xingyue frowned and interrupted her, "Today is my birthday, so I can do whatever I like, right?"

Seeing her nodding, Lan Xingyue said again: "So, I like you and am willing to cook for you..."?

what?

What do you like?

Xi Heng was a little dazed, thinking he heard it wrong, subconsciously asked: "What do you like?"

Lan Xingyue said frankly, "I like you."

The atmosphere instantly quieted down, only the occasional slight "crackling" sound from the candle.

Xi Heng remained silent, as if he was still, even the rhythm of his breathing was light and slow.

She was thinking, is Lan Xingyue's words a confession?

But what if Lan Xingyue was just expressing her feelings among friends?

It seems to be very normal and very common among good friends to say that they like each other.

She didn't speak, Lan Xingyue didn't know why, and she didn't speak.

She rested her chin on her arm and tapped her fingers rhythmically on the table.

Tap, tap——

Xi Heng's mind was a little messed up.

After all, even if she and Lan Xingyue had an intimate act, she even had such a dream.

But it's like being more relaxed in front of unfamiliar people. Before the other party makes it clear, Xi Heng has no burden to fantasize or make up his mind.

Once the other party showed that she wanted to puncture the paper on the window, her biggest reaction was to be dazed after the surprise.

Probably in front of the person they like, everyone will involuntarily magnify their shortcomings.

Xi Heng couldn't help thinking——

I, am I worthy of her love too?

Why should she like me?
