Chapter 5: Lived Next Door, Liked Him So Much At That Time
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ever since she discussed the problem of driving and speed with Lu Shiyuan, Su Xianyi shrank into the passenger seat and did not say a word.
It was only when she saw the logo of Dijing Garden that she seemed to have seen their savior. Her eyes lit up a little.
"You can just park the car at the door. I'll walk in myself. You should be quite busy with work, so I can't delay your time any longer." Su Xianyi's tone was gentle and caring.
Lu Shiyuan said bluntly, "It has already been delayed for so long. I don't care about this moment."
"..."
"Which building are you staying in?"
"Number 16."
Lu Shiyuan tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
After the car entered Dijing Garden, Su Xianyi was still paying attention to the building numbers of each building. The place was found by her mother. It was her first time here, so she didn't know where Building 16 was.
However, the car stopped at the entrance of Building 16.
"Are you familiar with this neighborhood?" Finally, they had arrived. Su Xianyi heaved a sigh of relief.
Lu Shiyuan replied in a low voice.
"Come here often?"
"No."
"That is…"
After the car stopped, Su Xianyi unbuckled her seatbelt. The restraint on her chest disappeared, and she felt much more relaxed.
"I come here almost every day."
"Hmm?"
What did he mean? Come every day?
"I live here too."
"..."
Just as Su Xianyi felt relieved, the suffocating feeling returned, and she seemed a little excited.
Mom, why did you find me such a place? Your daughter is finished!
Su Xianyi's heart was beating wildly. When she was in school, if she liked someone, she would even want to use the same brand of pen as that person. Moreover, they were living in the same neighborhood now. In Kingstown, which had a population of nearly ten million, the probability was still very small.
She suppressed her frantic heartbeat and looked at Lu Shiyuan. "It's quite a coincidence."
Lu Shiyuan only replied softly.
His performance, in Su Xianyi's words, could only be described as:
He was extremely calm.
As expected, the difference between liking and not feeling anything was that big.
Suppressing her throbbing heart, Su Xianyi was about to get out of the car when she saw Lu Shiyuan park the car and turn off the engine. He unfastened his seatbelt. "You don't have to get out of the car. You can just drop me off here."
"I'm not sending you off. I want to go home too."
"..."
Su Xianyi was still thinking that he might live in a nearby building. If he lived too far away, it would be inconvenient to park his car here.
After getting out of the car, Su Xianyi smiled at him. "Then… Goodbye."
Lu Shiyuan replied and took out his bag from the back seat. It was probably filled with a laptop or documents.
Su Xianyi felt that she would really go crazy if she stayed with him any longer. After saying goodbye, she quickly walked to the door of the unit in Building 16. To enter, she needed to enter the door password or swipe her card.
When her mother found the place, she only told her the location and the password to open the door. There was no unit.
She didn't dare to press it randomly. Just as she was about to call her mother, a hand reached out from behind her…
It was accompanied by the familiar smell of disinfectant, mixed with a hint of pine wood.
"Beep, beep, beep-" Su Xianyi's heart was beating fast as she heard the sound of the input button.
Every time he pressed, it felt like he was pressing on her heart.
"Remember, the password for the unit is 160257."
Su Xianyi's breathing sank. So they… Lived in the same building?
The spring wind filled her heart, blowing her skirt up slightly.
In an instant, wind blew from all directions…
It was still warm.

The door of the unit opened, and Su Xianyi hurriedly thanked him and went in.
When she reached the elevator, she pressed the up button and stood obediently at the side. She looked at the number on the elevator that was not considered small and secretly glanced at Lu Shiyuan.
The afternoon sun shone through the glass of the unit door and filled the small space.
Lu Shiyuan stood there. The sunlight poured down and covered his body. It was like the rain in spring. The light was restrained.
He was...
He was really beautiful.
In a daze, Su Xianyi remembered that she used to look at him sneakily. She rarely got so close, and…
There were only two of them.
"Ding!" The elevator doors opened slowly.
Lu Shiyuan was a gentleman. He naturally wanted to wait for Su Xianyi to go in first, but after waiting for a long time, she seemed to be in a daze.
"The elevator is here," he reminded her.
Su Xianyi came back to her senses and rushed into the elevator in a panic. However, she had been in a daze for too long. When she stepped into the elevator, the elevator doors on both sides had already slowly tightened inward…
Her heart sank. Was she going to be pinched?
Could it be that she had to be so embarrassed in front of Lu Shiyuan?
She was going crazy!
Just when she thought that she would definitely be pinched, a hand reached out from behind and blocked the closed elevator door for her. The door sensed it and opened to both sides, and his hand…
However, it still remained by her shoulder.
He held her shoulders slightly. Through a layer of thin clothes, the places he touched were like a red-hot branding iron, burning hot.
"Be careful."
His voice was as gentle as usual, but it was a little hoarse.
Su Xianyi's back was facing him, so she couldn't see him, but through his voice, she felt that he was very close to her, so close that his voice and breathing were rubbing against her ears.
Lu Shiyuan lowered his head slightly and saw the girl under him.
The tips of her ears were tinted red.
"Thank you." Su Xianyi felt that she was stupid. She hurriedly got into the elevator and pressed the floor she wanted to go to.
Lu Shiyuan followed closely behind. When he saw the floor that she had pressed, he stood still without batting an eyelid.
Su Xianyi was so dazed that she didn't dare to look at him. After entering the elevator, she only focused on the built-in advertisements inside.
The promotional picture of the neighborhood.
Dijing Garden was located in the city center, surrounded by the best elementary, middle, and high schools in the city. The most expensive school district in Kingstown was here, and it was adjacent to a tertiary Grade A hospital and close to the subway station. Such a superior location caused the property prices here to remain high.
Su Xianyi pursed her lips and was lamenting about the current housing prices when the elevator arrived at her floor.
There was a total of 10 floors. Her mother had found her the top floor. At this moment, the elevator had already reached the top floor, and Lu Shiyuan actually...
He hadn't gone down yet!
Could it be…
It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
"You live on this floor too?"
Lu Shiyuan looked at her and felt that she was reacting too late. He nodded and walked out when the elevator door opened.
It was Su Xianyi's first time here. When she stepped out of the elevator, she was dumbfounded!
There were only two units on this floor, and the doors were facing each other!
Lu Shiyuan...
He lived next door to her.
At this moment, Lu Shiyuan had already opened the door. Before closing the door, he glanced at her again and nodded slightly as a farewell.
As soon as the door closed, behind the glasses, there was an unexpected smile in his pitch-black eyes.
..
Su Xianyi was stunned on the spot. While she was shocked to live next door to him, she was inexplicably excited. Her heart was pounding as if she had returned to a few years ago. At that time, she was so…
When she liked him so much.
