In the noisy city, such a pair of street singers, such an old song, seemed to gently call out to the horse of time, letting it listen to the singing and walk forward slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Producer...\" Lin Qi just wanted to speak when he saw Shentu Mo raise his hand to silence him. Lin Qi checked the time and got out of the car to prepare food for Shentu Mo at eleven o'clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So the you who didn't want to leave, wants to say goodbye to the me who is no longer there, and to this day, there are still faint whispers in the world following the legend of the two of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the song ended, He Le seemed to notice for the first time that she had been staring into the eyes of a strange man, and hurriedly moved her gaze away with a small, shy face. But as soon as she turned her eyes, she saw the dark crowd of people staring at her—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clap clap clap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clap clap clap clap clap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, it was just a few people who had listened from the beginning and realized that this girl might be singing outside for the first time, clapping to encourage her. But people are just like that; once they see someone clapping, and they really think it’s good, they all smile and clap their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good luck!\" \"It sounds great!\" Two girls each put down ten yuan and smiled at He Le.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sour feeling surged from her heart to her nose and mouth. \"Th, thank you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hot, so hot, pain, stinging pain all over, but... so happy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\" After bowing deeply to everyone, He Le squeezed through the crowd and ran into the mall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, buddy, your girl ran away, aren't you going to chase her?\" someone in the crowd teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diao Xingyuan smiled and shook his thumb behind him. \"My girl is in the back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at a sexy photo of a female star on a light box behind him and let out a collective \"Tch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi got into the car with the meal box, but when he turned around, he saw the back row was empty. \"Where’s the producer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He went out.\" said Driver Old Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"……\" Lin Qi looked not far away, and sure enough, he didn't see the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't help but sigh softly. It was hard to say whether it was fortunate or unfortunate for such a delicate girl to be noticed by the producer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of a corridor in the mall, He Le sat on the ground with her legs bent and her arms around her knees, her chest heaving violently. Her small head was buried in her arms, so one couldn't see the expression on her face, and the soft humming that sounded like crying and laughing made it impossible to guess whether she was sad or happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steady footsteps approached. He Le tried hard to calm her mood; she didn't want to be treated as a weirdo and have the police called. While wiping the tears from her face, she raised her small face—a clean white handkerchief was held between someone’s fingers and handed to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... thank you, no need—\" He Le thanked him reflexively, but when she finally raised her small face and saw who it was, her tear-stained face was instantly filled with terror, and her body recoiled violently, pressing tightly against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shentu, Shentu Mo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if hit by a heavy punch to the chest, Shentu Mo’s eyes twitched, and his teeth clenched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me the phone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Author's Note:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rolling Red Dust, lyrics and music by Lo Ta-yu~~ The duet version is Lo Ta-yu and Sarah Chen~ It’s really a very old song~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the song~~~ don't really want to talk~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Love you all~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>☆, (13 Fresh Coins) Chapter 287: Incomparable ===== CHAPTER 347 =====\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did he say? A phone? What phone? Whose phone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A phone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lele clutched the cloth bag tightly to her chest, eyeing Shentu Mo with vigilance and nervousness. \"...How are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shentu Mo looked at her coldly for a moment, then lightly tugged at his trouser legs and crouched down, staring straight at the little woman before him from a distance of half a meter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her personality was weak and humble, yet occasionally she would erupt with foolish courage. There was nothing special about her from head to toe, but if one were to compare her to other women—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blurred impressions of women flashed rapidly through his mind, yet not one could pause to be compared with the woman before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-what do you want to do?\" Seeing Shentu Mo staring at her without speaking, He Lele became even more nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did he want to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His stomach suddenly cramped. Shentu Mo raised his wrist to check the time, his dark eyes beneath his lenses fixing back on He Lele. \"Accompany me to eat first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, I don't—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cold eyes were like a sword, a single strike to the throat. Even though He Lele had mentally prepared herself countless times, asking her to try and delay Shentu Mo from eating... she did not doubt for a second that Shentu Mo would make her wish she were dead afterward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passively pulled up from the ground by Shentu Mo and stiffly held by the waist, the sidelong glances of the men and women along the way failed to elicit any reaction from her body, because her body seemed to have... gone completely numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What did he say? Phone? What phone? Whose phone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Le hugged her cloth bag tightly to her chest, watching Shentu Mo vigilantly and nervously. \"……Why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shentu Mo looked at her coldly for a while, pulled up his trouser legs slightly, and squatted down, looking directly at the little woman in front of him from a distance of half a meter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her personality was weak and humble, but occasionally she would burst out with stupid courage. There was nothing special about her from head to toe, but if you compared her to other women—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blurred impressions of women flashed through his mind one by one, but none could stop and compare with the woman in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"……\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wh, what do you want to do?\" Seeing Shentu Mo staring at her without speaking, He Le became even more nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did he want to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her stomach spasmed suddenly. Shentu Mo raised his wrist to check the time, his black eyes behind his glasses staring at He Le again. \"Accompany me to eat first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, I don't—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold eyes like swords, sealing her throat in one move. Even though He Le had done countless psychological preparations for herself, asking her to try to delay Shentu Mo’s meal... she didn't doubt at all that Shentu Mo would make her life worse than death afterward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passively pulled up from the ground by Shentu Mo, stiffly held by his waist, the side-glances of men and women along the way didn't cause any reaction in her body, because her body seemed to have... become completely paralyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the food on Shentu Mo’s plate get less and less, He Le was crying without tears. She never expected that she would run into Shentu Mo just by going out. This probability—God was simply playing with her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calm, calm! Cheer up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Le kept cheering herself on, but when she saw Shentu Mo put down his knife and fork and pick up his napkin to wipe his mouth, she just wanted to run away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the steak she hadn't touched at all, Shentu Mo picked up his red wine glass and stared at her small face, taking a sip unhurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there’s nothing else... I’ll go first.\" He Le gathered her courage and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shentu Mo put down his wine glass, took out his phone, dialed a number, and turned on the speakerphone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The number you are calling is busy, please try again later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Le was stunned for a few seconds before realizing—he, he wasn't dialing her number, was he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"……Take it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Le shuddered. \"I, I didn't bring my phone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take my number out of the blacklist.\" The casual tone was as if he were just saying today’s steak was okay, which made He Le stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, He Le took her phone out of her cloth bag suspiciously, opened the blacklist while peeking at Shentu Mo, and deleted the only number in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the process, Shentu Mo just watched coldly, his overly handsome face revealing the cold arrogance of a superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Le swallowed. \"I deleted it, so... can I go now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"……\" Shentu Mo picked up his wine glass again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Le tentatively lifted her buttocks off the sofa chair. Seeing Shentu Mo had no reaction, she gathered her courage, stood up, and rushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodbye!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the crisp farewell dissipated in the air, the timid, charming person had already disappeared from view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shentu Mo raised his chin and drank the bewitching color in the glass. On his long, slender neck, the smooth, protruding Adam’s apple slid up and down sexily, and the mellow wine flowed down his throat into his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was... interested in this woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling He Le’s little appearance just now, it was like a pitiful little thief being caught and timidly returning the stolen goods while running away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corners of his lips rose slightly. Behind the reflective glasses, a few strands of joy flowed in his deep, dark black eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Escaping from the restaurant, He Le’s heart was beating wildly. After confirming several times that Shentu Mo wasn't following her, she touched her heart and let out a long sigh of relief, but—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No rage, no threats, no violence, he didn't even take off his glasses, and he just let her go like that? Just lightly letting her take his phone number out of the blacklist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shentu Mo doesn't have a twin brother, does he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like being chased to the edge of a cliff by a terrifying killer, only for the killer to pull out a gun, fire a blank shot at her head, and leave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The huge contrast made He Le think about it with fear, but she didn't have the guts to bite the bullet and go back to ask Shentu Mo what kind of trick he was playing. After hesitating for a long time, her final decision could only be—next time she goes out, she must bring the anti-wolf spray and electric baton she bought last time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she didn't know where Shentu Mo would pop out from again, He Le ran two blocks, found a small noodle shop, ate a bowl of noodles, and spent two hours before returning to the front of the X-Tian shopping mall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The onlookers had already changed batches many times, but Diao Xingyuan was still playing and singing tirelessly. Sometimes he would only play and not sing, but as long as he opened his mouth, his singing was absolutely heartfelt. Every love song was so affectionate and sorrowful that people couldn't help but guess the story behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1896,"2026-06-14T03:55:59.415Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","35f9cf2d149439a4fadcf5b58c5dd1c0044bb774704706c381b1660479b6215d","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-260","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-258",301,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ultimate-men-s-apartment-cover.jpg"]
