Chapter 204 Let Me Explain
The two were about to start fighting.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
Ma Junjie and Carina Lau were both startled, staring at each other in surprise.
Carina Lau quickly put on her clothes and asked in a flustered manner,
"Ah Jie, who's there? Who's here?"
Ma Junjie was also in a hurry to put on his clothes, looking puzzled.
"Sister Liu, I...I don't know either!"
The knocking continued at the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
Ma Junjie shouted,
"Who? Who's outside?"
"Ah Jie, it's me!" came the reply from outside.
When Carina Lau heard a woman's voice, she immediately glared at Ma Junjie.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent, which made Ma Junjie gasp.
Ma Junjie reassured him,
"Sister Liu, don't overthink it. Judging from the voice, it should be Sister Yuan who lives downstairs."
"She's the one who introduced me to this apartment. She owns a restaurant nearby, and she..."
Ma Junjie was momentarily incoherent.
Carina Lau, still angry, said coldly,
"Stop talking, just go open the door!"
Ma Junjie then remembered and quickly went to the door.
With a "bang," the door was opened.
Li Yuanyuan walked in.
"Ah Jie, what are you doing? Why are you taking so long?"
"Hehe, look what I brought you..."
Li Yuanyuan suddenly stopped talking.
She saw Carina Lau standing to the side and looked puzzled.
"Hey, who's this beautiful lady?"
Ma Junjie replied,
"This is Sister Liu, she's my boss..."
Li Yuanyuan looked Liu Jialing up and down, then smiled faintly.
"Oh, it's the boss!"
"Ah Jie, I'm sorry, I've interrupted your business!"
"Oh, right, Ah Jie, I came back to get something and saw your room was lit up. I happened to have some groceries with me, so I thought I'd give them to you."
As she spoke, Li Yuanyuan placed the things she was carrying on the coffee table.
"Ah Jie, then I won't bother you any longer, goodbye!"
After saying that, Li Yuanyuan turned and left.
As she walked out the door, she didn't forget to close it behind her.
The room fell silent the moment Li Yuanyuan left.
Ma Junjie stood there, feeling extremely embarrassed and awkward.
"Sister Liu, she...I...we..."
Carina Lau gave a cold smile.
Glancing at the packaged dishes placed on the coffee table,
Said,
"Ah Jie, it seems you've already got dinner planned, so I don't need to treat you."
"Hehe, enjoy your meal, goodbye!"
After saying that, Carina Lau walked to the door without hesitation, opened it, and went out.
"Sister Liu, no... I..."
Ma Junjie wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
When she came to her senses, Carina Lau had already disappeared into the dark stairwell.
"Sigh!" Ma Junjie sighed heavily.
He knew that Carina Lau must have misunderstood his relationship with Li Yuanyuan.
Although she didn't get angry directly.
However, her words and actions already revealed that Carina Lau was definitely angry.
However, just a minute or two ago, on this very sofa, the two almost came to naught.
That Li Yuanyuan is really something, of all times, she had to come.
Sigh, Ma Junjie doesn't know whether to feel fortunate or regretful.
He went to the bathroom, turned on the tap, and splashed water on his face.
The cold water helped Ma Junjie feel much more awake.
He looked at himself in the mirror, then reached out and slapped his face hard.
At the same time, tell yourself
"Ah Jie, stop thinking the hell like that!"
"You already have Liu Bingbing, you have to treat her right!"
Thinking of this, Ma Junjie slapped himself again.
Then she lowered her head, cupped her hands in cold water, and kept rinsing herself...
After sleeping in his room, Ma Junjie got up early the next morning and went downstairs to prepare to go to the factory.
He claimed he wanted to go to his dorm to pack his things.
Actually, what I really wanted was to find an opportunity to meet Carina Lau.
He wanted to see Carina Lau's reaction today.
I want to explain further to Carina Lau, I want to...
He walked briskly and arrived at the factory in just a few minutes.
It was already past 8 o'clock, and everyone had already started their early shift. The factory was quiet and deserted, with hardly any pedestrians in sight.
After thinking about it, Ma Junjie finally decided to go to his dorm to pack his things first.
I climbed the stairs, walked to the familiar yet unfamiliar dormitory, and stood at the dormitory door.
Ma Junjie was surprised to find that the dormitory door was locked.
This had never happened before.
Ma Junjie took out his key from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it.
Holy crap, it won't open.
Upon closer inspection, the lock had been changed.
Ma Junjie gave a wry smile.
I've only been away for a few days, and I've already become a complete outsider.
Ma Junjie shook his head, then gently pushed the dormitory door again. The dilapidated door revealed a large crack.
Through the crack in the door, I could see my bed.
But it is something that can only be hoped for but never reached.
Ma Junjie initially considered kicking it away, but then thought that what was inside wasn't important.
"Never mind!" Ma Junjie said to himself, then turned around and went downstairs again.
Ma Junjie was a little frustrated after a bad start to the day.
He walked slowly with his head down.
He was considering whether to go directly to the factory manager's office to find Liu Jialing.
Or should I call her first?
Ma Junjie hesitated for a moment.
Ma Junjie walked along, pondering the problem.
Suddenly, with a "bang," it sounded like I bumped into someone.
Ma Junjie quickly raised his head and apologized repeatedly.
"Excuse me, I'm sorry!"
As he spoke, Ma Junjie turned to the side, preparing to take a detour to leave.
Little did he know that when he moved to the right, the person immediately moved to the right and blocked his way.
Ma Junjie felt something was strange and looked up.
Before I could see anyone,
Then, a hearty "giggle" of laughter could be heard.
Ma Junjie was even more confused.
Looking against the morning light, I squinted and gazed over.
I can finally see it clearly now.
He shouted excitedly.
"Xuemei, it's you!"
"Haha, what a coincidence!"
Li Xuemei covered her mouth with one hand and carried the packed breakfast in the other.
"Hehehe, Brother Jie, you...you're too funny."
"He wasn't watching where he was going, and when I deliberately stopped him, he kept apologizing to me."
Ma Junjie frowned slightly, realizing that Li Xuemei had been playing a prank on him.
Ma Junjie said in a serious tone
"Xuemei, everyone's at work, why are you still wandering around outside?"
"Aren't you afraid your boss will dock your pay and give you a good scolding?"
Li Xuemei's mouth twisted and she snorted.
"Hmph, don't try to scare me!"
"I worked the night shift yesterday and have the morning off, haha, aren't you envious?"
Seeing Li Xuemei's smug expression, Ma Junjie couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing that Ma Junjie remained silent, Li Xuemei suddenly remembered something else.
She glanced at Ma Junjie and asked,
"Ah Jie, have you been away from home for the past few days?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie let out an "Ah!"
"Xuemei, what do you mean by that?"
"Could it be... you went to my house?"
Li Xuemei responded calmly.
"Yeah, didn't I help you clean up last time? We even started cleaning the yard..."
"I've had some free time these past few days, and I've gone to your house to clean, but I haven't run into you!"
"What?" Ma Junjie exclaimed in surprise.
"Xuemei, no... which courtyard have you been going to these past few days?"
Li Xuemei found it strange that Ma Junjie reacted so strongly.
She nodded.
"yes…"
"Hey, Brother Jie, I was just helping you clean up, you don't need to make such a big deal out of it, do you?"
Ma Junjie was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.
Li Xuemei had no idea that the courtyard was a haunted house.
She's been alone inside these past few days, and thinking about it really gives me the creeps.
Ma Junjie knew he couldn't tell Liu Jialing the truth right now, or Li Xuemei would be terrified.
He thought for a moment and could only say it tactfully.
"Xuemei, I'm not renting that place anymore. I... I've moved somewhere else! Don't go there again!"
"Oh, it's not rented anymore?" Li Xuemei was taken aback.
"Ah Jie, I've pulled all the weeds out of the yard for you, and you're saying you're not renting it out anymore?"
"Ugh, I'm so angry, so angry..."
As she spoke, Li Xuemei seemed genuinely angry, turning and walking away while breathing heavily.
"Xuemei, don't be angry, let me explain..."
Li Xuemei didn't even turn her head; she quickly walked a few steps and entered the girls' dormitory building.
Ma Junjie could only stop and watch Li Xuemei's retreating figure from afar.
He looked dejected, wondering why he kept offending people.
The issue with Carina Lau from yesterday hasn't been resolved yet, and now Li Xuemei has come out as well.
"Sigh!" Ma Junjie sighed.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave,
Suddenly I heard someone calling my name.
"Ah Jie!"
