Chapter 333

Qiao Sixiao went to the fridge to get a bottle of water. As she walked to the living room, she was debating how to open the bottle when the doorbell rang.

There were no delivery people or takeout allowed in the complex, and no unrelated people could possibly come in.

It was most likely He Hong, or maybe she let Xiao Wang come over...

Qiao Sixiao put down the water bottle and got up to go to the door, turning on the video intercom.

"Teacher Qiao o(^o^)o~!"

Qin Wei's cheerful voice came from inside, followed immediately by a pair of pretty eyes appearing on the video.

Qiao Sixiao frowned, "Don't get so close to the camera!"

"Oh."

Qin Wei obediently moved back a little.

Through the video, Qiao Sixiao saw—

Outside her building, a young and beautiful woman was staring longingly at the camera.

"What are you doing here? How did you find this place? How did you get in? Who let you in?"

Qiao Sixiao fired off a bunch of questions in a row. The more she asked, the more wronged Qin Wei looked.

"I came to see you! Please let me in, okay? People keep looking at me out here..."

Qin Wei said to the camera.

She couldn't see Qiao Sixiao, only hear her cold voice.

"I'm fine. I've been discharged, you can go back now."

After saying this, she turned off the intercom audio, but left the camera on.

This intercom was expensive, but for good reason. The camera could be turned on quietly, giving a 180 degree view outside, to make sure no one was staking out the place.

In the video, she saw Qin Wei look confused at first, quickly realizing Qiao Sixiao had hung up. She had a hurt expression on her face.

After that, she took a few steps back, standing still for a minute before turning around and sitting on the stairs, hugging her knees without moving.

One minute...

Five minutes......

Ten minutes..........

Fifteen minutes..................... There were people passing by downstairs, and they couldn't help but glance her way, but Qin Wei didn't seem to care. She just sat alone on the stairs, giving the camera a lonely back view.

"Don't embarrass yourself out there!"

Finally, the door opened, and the elevator door inside opened too.

Qin Wei immediately stood up and rushed in at the fastest speed, afraid the other person would change their mind.

Qiao Sixiao rubbed her eyes. Was she seeing things just now? She clearly saw her come empty-handed earlier, so how was she carrying things when she opened the door?

Coming back to her senses, Qin Wei was already inside.

In Yunjin's houses, each unit had its own floor. The door was open so there was no need to worry more, it was just this one household.

The door wasn't locked. Qin Wei easily pulled it open.

By this time it was late, and the only light on inside the house was the floor lamp next to the sofa. The room was dimly lit. Qiao Sixiao sat on the sofa.

Qin Wei closed the door and took off her shoes before walking in.

"Wow~ This is your home~?"

Qin Wei set down the flower pot, picked up the bottled water from the table, twisted open the cap and handed it to Qiao Sixiao.

"Drink this!"

"How did you know?"

Qiao Sixiao took the water bottle, a little surprised. Then her gaze fell on the flower pot on the table again.

"What's this all about?"

"The bottle was covered in condensation, clearly just taken out of the fridge and left unopened on the table because you couldn't open it."

Qin Wei sat down beside her.

"I came to see you, and brought a gift."

It was an ordinary ceramic pot with a jasmine plant growing inside.

Qiao Sixiao was silent for a long time before speaking.

"I don't know how to care for plants."

That's why she didn't have any in her home.

"That's okay."

Qin Wei picked up the flower pot, got up and walked to the French window. Because she had gone to see this unit layout herself, she also knew the layout clearly. She slid open the glass door and put the pot in a corner of the balcony.

"This is a jasmine from my yard at home. I brought a sprout when I came over, so it might prefer to stay outside..."

"So why did you come? How did you know where my home is? How did you get in?"

Qiao Sixiao didn't care about what she was saying, just asked the questions she cared about again.

"Your home is in Yunjin Phase 1. Everyone in the country knows that, you can find it online with one search. But Yunjin's security is too good. I could only tell Qing Qing which building, even the director himself can't disclose specifics. But that's fine, could you have bought anything but a low floor? Of course you got a high floor. There's a total of 22 floors, so I tried them one by one!"

Qiao Sixiao: "!! So you disturbed all my neighbors?!?"

Qin Wei shook her head: "Of course I tried from the top down. The 22nd floor had no response, the 21st floor was your home. Luckily, or I would have had to keep embarrassing myself..."

Qiao Sixiao also breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, the floor above was also her house...

"As for how I got in..."

Qin Wei looked a little proud.

"I'm a Yunjin homeowner, so I can enter all Yunjin properties!"

I see.

Qiao Sixiao took a sip of water, and the dryness in her throat was slightly relieved.

"I'm fine, as you can see. I really like the gift too. It's late, you should head back."

Was Qiao Sixiao telling her guest to leave?

Qin Wei had no intention of leaving. She pointed at the suitcase by the door:

"A burglar broke into my home. Li Yao told me to move out. I brought luggage and flowers, and now your place is the only one I can stay at...

Oh don't worry, I won't freeload. You're not able to do much right now, so I can help you with everything!"

She decided not to mention staying at Shen Qingqing's place for now, so as not to leave herself an out.

Qiao Sixiao didn't speak, seeing her tap the bottle in the same way she knew she was thinking things over.

Qin Wei seized the opportunity and squatted in front of her, pitifully leaning against her legs like a puppy, looking up at her and whispering:

"Hotels aren't convenient either, you know that. My reputation is really bad right now, everyone online is scolding me, all my work has been cancelled...

I don't dare go back home after the burglary. Think about it, while I'm away, a stranger can come and go from my home as they please...

Teacher Qiao, you're my best friend. I've placed all my hopes on you...

If even you won't take me in, then I'll have no choice but to sleep on the park benches. Could I at least take some newspapers from your place before I go? I'm afraid of the cold at night. I..."

"Okay."

Qiao Sixiao readily agreed.

"Huh?????"

Qin Wei looked at Qiao Sixiao in disbelief, her voice shaking.

"Teacher Qiao! It gets cold at night even in summer! The park isn't safe! Even less safe at night!

I! Me! The person talking to you is me!! Me!! Qin Wei!! Can you bear to let me sleep on the park benches!!"

"I mean, you can stay."

Qiao Sixiao glared at her impatiently.

"Why are you always so dramatic? Even if He Hong gave you 100,000, you wouldn't be reduced to sleeping on park benches! How could you even think of that!

But you can only sleep on the sofa. I only have one bed."

"Okay, okay, okay! That's fine! I can also sleep in the bed, oh no no no! I won't disturb your rest! I'll sleep anywhere! Teacher Qiao, are you hungry now? I'll go make dinner for you! Believe me, I'll take good care of you!!!"
