I don't know how long she was sobbing, until Lu Qi felt that her chest was a little wet, and Lacey gradually stopped crying.

The hand on the girl's back patted gently, Lu Qi lowered his head slightly, and asked softly

"Feeling better?"

"Um…"

Although there was a response, the girl still hugged herself tightly, making Lu Qi unable to move.

With a helpless expression, Lu Qi rolled his eyes, deliberately looking for a topic and said:

"Are you hungry?"

"Um…"

"Then I'll get you something to eat?"

"OK."

The corner of Lu Qi's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help reminding: "Don't just say yes, you should let me go!"

Hearing this, Lacey reluctantly let go of her hands.

Just after leaving the warm embrace, Lacey noticed a puddle of water on Lu Qi's chest, his face flushed, and he couldn't help being a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I wet your clothes..."

"It's okay, I'll just go and change it."

Going downstairs to the cloakroom in the bedroom, Lu Qi took off his shirt and changed into a clean T-shirt.

Just as he was about to go out, he seemed to have thought of something. He paused, turned around, and took a white shirt.

Back in the living room, Lu Qi casually threw the shirt in his hand to Lacey and said:

"Hey, wait a minute so you don't catch a cold..."

Hearing this, Lacey, who was holding the shirt in her hand, was taken aback for a moment, looked down at her upper body, and suddenly realized.

Because of the night run, she only wore a pink sports vest on her upper body. If you look closely, you can even see the unrestricted whiteness.

The nighttime temperature in Los Santos drops a lot compared to the daytime. Even indoors, you can still vaguely feel a bit of coolness.

Putting on the shirt obediently, looking at Lu Qi's busy figure in the kitchen, Lacey's heart warmed up, and she couldn't help muttering in a low voice:

"This guy looks cold, but he's actually quite careful..."

Taking out some mushrooms, fruits and vegetables from the refrigerator, Lu Qi planned to make some simple vegetable soup or something like that to warm the stomach of the frightened Lacey.

While packing up the ingredients, a bell rang in his trouser pocket.

Not paying attention to Lacey's gaze from afar, Lu Qi took out the phone casually, swiped on the screen, and put it to his ear:

"Hey?"

"Hey, buddy, I've been waiting for you in the gym for half an hour, and the equipment is almost broken by me, why haven't you shown up yet?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi glanced at Lacey on the sofa from the corner of his eye, and responded casually:

"I have a little problem here, I may not be able to go tonight, sorry."

"Small situation? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just that there are some things to deal with. Shall we make an appointment another day?"

"No problem, brother."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qi put the phone aside and continued cooking.

At the same time, Lacey, who was sitting on the sofa, was full of imagination.

Although she heard all of Lu Qi's words, she didn't know that it was a man on the other end of the phone.

For a moment, countless thoughts filled her mind instantly:

"He already had a date? Is the other party a man or a woman? At this point in time? Why?"

At that moment, even she didn't know why she cared so much about Lu Qi.

Obviously, this is the second time the two have met...

Or in just a few days, Lu Qi, like a heroic knight, has helped her out of the siege twice; or under Lu Qi's cold surface, there is a kind and warm heart, which made her feel deeply sense of security.

Inadvertently, she had already developed a crush on this young Asian.

It wasn't until Lu Qi brought a pot of steaming vegetable and mushroom soup in front of him that the girl ended her complicated thoughts.

"Let's eat something..."

Pick up the spoon, scoop up a mouthful of thick soup, and put it in your mouth.

In the next second, the warm soup slowly flowed down the throat and into the stomach, and Lacey instantly felt warm all over.

"Hmm... I didn't expect him to cook delicious food..."

Muttering in her heart, she still didn't forget to send the thick soup to her mouth spoon by spoon.

Seeing Lacey drinking the soup without saying a word, Lu Qi just sat there quietly, thinking about something.

At this moment, sparse raindrops suddenly appeared in the sky outside the window.

This sudden night rain became heavier and heavier, and gradually turned into a "swirling" torrential downpour.

The raindrops slapped the wooden floor and roof of the balcony in a hurry, like playing a symphony, melodious and moving.

Standing up and closing the French windows that were slightly open, Lu Qi turned on the electric fireplace to make the room slightly warmer.

Sitting back on the sofa again, Lu Qi glanced at the empty pot that was emptied by the speed of light, and said to Lacey calmly:

"This rain, I'm afraid it won't stop for a while. When the rain stops, I'll drive you home again."

Hearing this, Lacey paused for a moment when she put down the spoon, and then, she met Lu Qi's eyes with those blue eyes.

"I..."

Seeing Lacey's hesitant expression, Lu Qi was a little puzzled, and then asked:

"What's wrong?"

It seems that he has already made a decision in his heart, and said in a firm tone:

"I don't want to go back."

"Huh? Why?"

"I'm home alone and scared..."

For a girl who had just been attacked by a stalker, there were so many reasons for not wanting to go home that even Lu Qi was speechless.

Noticing that Lu Qi was lost in thought, Laixi immediately put on a charming and tender appearance, raised a finger, and looked at Lu Qi full of hope:

"Can I sleep with you overnight and come home tomorrow?"

Afraid that Lu Qi would disagree, Lacey clasped his hands together, blinked those big watery eyes, and said softly:

"Please, just one night!"

Lu Qi didn't reply right away, but looked at the torrential rain outside the window, and then agreed:

"Whatever you want, anyway, there are plenty of rooms..."

After a pause, Lu Qi continued, "It's just that, do you want to tell your manager something..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lacey, who was overjoyed, immediately interrupted:

"No, I don't have a schedule tomorrow morning, and she won't come to see me."

"By the way, can I borrow the bathroom? I'm a little sweaty and I want to take a shower..."

"It's downstairs in the second room on the left."

"Thank you!"

Looking at Lacey's brisk figure when she went downstairs, Lu Qi twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a wry smile:

"You're welcome..."

. . .

rumbling...

Lying on the bed, Lu Qi, who was half asleep and half awake, was just about to fall asleep when he was awakened by a thunderous thunder.

Turning over, looking at the heavy rain that was still pouring outside the window, Lu Qi was just about to close his eyes and go to sleep again, when there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Accompanied by Lacey's whispered call:

"Alex, are you asleep?"

Taking a deep breath, he threw off the quilt. With a helpless face, Lu Qi got up and came to the door, and opened the door:

"what happened again?"

I saw Lacey, who was wearing only a white shirt all over her body, with messy blond hair draped over her shoulders, holding a pillow in her arms, leaning against the door, looking at Lu Qi pitifully:

"Thunder, I'm scared alone, I can't sleep..."

Looking at the girl up and down, Lu Qi couldn't help sighing, and asked:

"What do you want?"

"Can I...sleep with you..."
