Chapter 3: The tips of the ears are slightly red, as bright as drops of blood

"How...how do I test it?" The girl's voice trembled as she stammered out these words. She tried hard to suppress her inner anxiety and uneasiness.

"Where are you?" Leo's voice was casual, but with a majesty that could not be ignored.

Lily hesitated for a moment before slowly answering, "North City A University, School of Architecture and Design."

"Designer?" Leo's tone rose slightly, with a hint of playfulness.

"Hmm..." Lily buried her face in her arms, revealing only half of her red cheeks. She felt that she had disgraced this identity and was filled with shame.

Leo turned off the faucet and pulled a towel to dry his hands. He held the phone in his bony fingers and walked out of the bathroom slowly. He had never had the habit of bringing people home, but at the moment, he didn't want to go out. He made a bet in his mind, betting on whether this seemingly foolish girl would really come. If she came, he would definitely scare her.

So he gave the address of the apartment: "Banfang City, Building 6 , 1009 , come over."

Lily 's cheeks were burning, and even her neck and ear tips were stained with red, the red was as bright as blood. She looked at the time, and there was still half an hour before the lights and doors of the dormitory were turned off. She hesitated, but her mother's words kept echoing in her ears: "We provide you with food and drink, and scrape together to pay for your tuition. Now we have supported you to become a college student, but you are unwilling to send any money home. You only know how to cry poor every day, and you are not as good as Lucy next door . She has been working outside since she graduated from junior high school, and can send 10,000 yuan home every month. What's the use of you!"

Lily bit her lip and finally said, "I'll go." She was sitting in the corridor of the dormitory, surrounded by darkness and no one. She took a deep breath and made up her mind, "I'll go, you wait for me."

…

Bafang City is not far from University A. It only takes four bus stops and two subway stops. Lily followed the navigation and boarded the last subway. The carriage was empty, with only the announcement of the station echoing. Not long after she sat down, she arrived at the station.

Arriving outside the community, she took some effort to find the 6th building he mentioned. This is a high-end apartment area, and you need to swipe your card to enter the elevator. Lily sat in the waiting area of the lobby, took out her mobile phone and called Leo : "I... I'm here, I can't go up in the lobby, the elevator requires a card."

Leo was a little surprised when he received the call. He didn't expect that this girl would actually come. He was silent for a moment, and said something strange: "Wait." Then he hung up the phone, put on a casual home clothes and went downstairs.

The waiting area in the lobby downstairs was furnished with sofas and small tables, with a few people sitting here and there. After taking a quick look, Leo saw a girl in the corner from a distance. She was dressed in a white T- shirt, loose jeans and black canvas shoes, and was dressed in an ordinary way. Her gestures revealed her restraint and shyness, giving people a feeling of clarity and stupidity.

He walked towards her. Lily waited for a long time, looking at the high-end buildings around her, feeling a little at a loss. She straightened her back, sat upright, and tried to make herself look more natural. However, the next second, a deep male voice came from above her head: "You?"

Lily looked up subconsciously and saw the man's handsome face. He stood in front of her with one hand in his pocket, looking down at her. He was tall and straight, with extraordinary temperament, and exuded the unique cool scent of shower gel and men. At this moment, Lily's heartbeat accelerated.
