169 Chapter 168, Night Watch
Zhang Kun shook his head and said with a serious expression, “No, not only do I not feel that you did anything wrong, I even admire you!”
Zhang Kun’s words surprised Li Xu, “Admire? Admire me for what?”
“You have a grudge with Shen Mei. If it were anyone else, they might not have told the truth in order to protect themselves and take revenge on Shen Mei. But you didn’t choose to lie for these two reasons. Naturally, I admire you immensely!”
After Zhang Kun finished speaking, Li Xu raised her head to look at him. Her eyes were filled with gratitude.
How lucky was she to have met a man like Zhang Kun.
He was the real person who could understand her and connect with her heart.
“As for whether the other party will take revenge, you don’t have to worry about that. This is a society ruled by law. Would he dare to do anything to you? Besides, as long as the police don’t say anything, who would know that it was you who provided the clues?” Zhang Kun took a step forward, he hugged Li Xu and comforted her in a low voice.
However, although he spoke with confidence, where Li Xu could not see, his expression become very serious.
Li Xu finally calmed down in Zhang Kun’s arms.
She nodded, “That’s good, then I’m relieved.”
A moment later, Zhang Kun said in a low voice, “Since I’ve already received the keys, and taken a day off today, then I’ll return to the dormitory and move in. I can also make breakfast for the children in the morning.”
Li Xu did not doubt him. She was naturally happy that Zhang Kun could come over.
“Okay, then you can move over. I’ll close the shop early tonight and help you clean up.”
Seeing that it was almost time for the children to leave school, Zhang Kun went home and helped the children prepare lunch.
In the afternoon, he went to the unit and used Li Xu’s little tricycle to move all the things that he had put in the unit’s dormitory over.
This house was second-hand and had the most basic furniture.
It had beds and mattresses. When Zhang Kun moved in, he could live there directly.
In the afternoon, when the children were out of school, Li Xu closed the shop.
After eating, Li Xu brought the children over to help Zhang Kun clean up the house.
After all, the house had not been occupied for a long time. There was dust everywhere and spider webs everywhere.
Zhang Kun and Li Xu were mainly responsible for cleaning, while the children were responsible for looking around the house.
The house had three bedrooms. If they were to clean the whole house, it would probably take a whole day.
Therefore, Zhang Kun and Li Xu focused on cleaning the master bedroom and the living room.
The only places that Zhang Kun would use were the master bedroom and the living room. As for eating, he could eat at Li Xu’s place.
Since they were almost a family, they naturally had to eat at the same place.
Although they only needed to clean two places, the workload was really not small. Zhang Kun and Li Xu were both exhausted from the winter.
Ji Zi’ang looked at them and asked curiously, “Uncle Zhang, why don’t you just stay at our house? It’s so close anyway. How nice it would be for you to stay at our house!”
He did not treat Zhang Kun as an outsider at all.
“Because Uncle Zhang hasn’t married your Mommy yet. We can only stay together after we get married!” Zhang Kun patiently explained to Ji Zi’ang.
“Really? Then hurry up and marry Mommy. I want you to stay with us!” Ji Zi’ang hurriedly said.
Zhang Kun laughed when he heard this, “You’ll have to ask your Mommy about this.”
Li Xu’s face was a little red, but it was not obvious under the light.
She whispered, “Soon!”
This was the first time Li Xu had relented in front of the children, and Zhang Kun’s eyes lit up. He looked at Ji Zi’ang happily and said, “Zi’ang, what do you want to eat? Uncle Zhang will buy it for you tomorrow!”
Although Ji Zi’ang did not know why Uncle Zhang was so happy, when he heard about the food, he immediately said, “I want to eat a lot, biscuits, soda, sugar…”
He waved his fingers and counted a few things.
Zhang Kun waved his hand and said directly, “Okay, buy all of it tomorrow!”
Ji Zi’ang did not expect Zhang Kun to be so generous. He looked at Li Xu tentatively. Seeing that she did not object, he cheered happily, “Yay, Uncle Zhang, you’re too kind.”
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Ji Zi’ang and shook her head helplessly.
One candy would be enough for the human trafficker to trick Ji Zi’ang away.
The few of them stayed in Zhang Kun’s house until past nine o’clock before Li Xu brought the children back.
Before they went back, Zhang Kun walked them to the door and whispered, “If there’s anything, just call me directly. Lock the door when you sleep at night. If there’s a bottle, put a bottle behind the door.”
The master bedroom he stayed in was very close to the door.
If Li Xu shouted from the other side, he would probably hear it too.
If there was a bottle behind the door, if someone pushed the door and the bottle fell to the ground, the sound would also serve as a reminder.
Hearing Zhang Kun’s words, Li Xu was stunned for a moment before she immediately reacted. So it was not that Zhang Kun was not afraid, nor was he not worried!
With this thought in mind, she said in a low voice, “I know, don’t worry.”
Ji Yuanyuan stood between the two of them. Although she did not know what had happened today, she subconsciously felt that Uncle Zhang’s sudden move here might have something to do with the car accident.
She had long felt that it was really dangerous for them to provide clues to the police.
When they returned home, Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang went back to their room to do their homework.
Ji Yuanyuan went into the space. After finishing her homework, she originally wanted to come out again.
However, when she thought of the conversation between Li Xu and Zhang Kun that night, she hesitated for a moment and chose to stay in the space.
Tonight, she chose to catch up on sleep in the space in the first half of the night and keep watch in the second half of the night.
Time passed faster in the space than in the outside world. Ji Yuanyuan slept for a full ten hours in the space.
When she woke up, it was only less than twelve o’clock.
She turned on the small lamp at the bedside and brought over the blood ‘The Dream of the Red Chamber’.
She planned to read until five o’clock in the morning and then go to the space to rest for a while.
In this way, she would not be too tired!
After all, she was still young and still growing!
She had already read The Dream of the Red Chamber once. Therefore, she was not so focused the second time.
She flipped through the pages one by one at a relatively fast speed!
Time passed bit by bit, and even the air became quiet at night.
After an unknown amount of time, there was suddenly a ‘ding dong’ sound from outside.
Ji Yuanyuan’s entire body shook. Before she went to sleep, her mother placed a milk bottle behind the door.
If someone opened the door, the milk bottle would fall to the ground and make a ‘ding dong’ sound.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly entered the space and took out a knife.
Then, she pulled open the curtains so that the light in the room could penetrate the downstairs.
After doing all this, she leaned on the door and listened carefully to the movements outside.
Before going to sleep, everyone’s door was locked from the inside.
If the person outside wanted to enter the room, it would definitely take a lot of effort.
Sure enough, a rustling sound soon came from outside.
