Chapter 2725: Don’t Close the Bathroom Door

Just then, the door of the apartment next door opened. Li Mingxi turned around, her eyes widening in shock.

"You... why are you here?!" she asked, surprised.

Wearing casual home clothes, Xiao Lang smiled faintly, "I live next door."

"You’re the new neighbor?!"

"Yes." Xiao Lang nodded.

He closed his door and walked up to her.

"You look very tired."

Li Mingxi stood up straight, unable to hide the fatigue on her face.

"I’ve been in surgery all day, so I’m tired. Let’s talk tomorrow."

She really didn’t have the energy to question why he moved next door.

"Have you eaten?" Xiao Lang asked suddenly.

"Not yet, but I have food at home." She entered her password and opened the door.

As she walked in and was about to close the door, Xiao Lang reached out to stop it and followed her inside.

"You..."

"Go take a shower, I’ll make you something to eat."

"No need."

"Go on." Xiao Lang closed the door and gently pushed her a few steps.

Li Mingxi didn’t even have the strength to resist, "Why are you like this? I said no need. It’s late at night, you should go back, I can manage on my own."

Xiao Lang stopped and looked at her askance, "Why, afraid I’ll eat you up?"

"I just want to remind you, it’s late at night and a gentleman shouldn’t enter a single woman’s home." Li Mingxi said irritably.

Xiao Lang laughed, "A gentleman shouldn’t leave a woman who looks like she might faint at any moment."

"I’m just a bit tired, I’m not going to faint."

Suddenly, Xiao Lang raised his hand and touched her face.

Li Mingxi jumped in shock, quickly turning her head to avoid it.

Xiao Lang didn’t mind, he withdrew his hand and said, "Don’t you know? Your face is very pale, and your skin is cold."

"..."

"Go take a shower, I won’t do anything to you, but I don’t feel comfortable leaving you like this."

Li Mingxi saw how persistent he was and knew he wouldn’t leave.

She really didn’t have the energy to argue with him.

"Suit yourself."

"What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you."

"Whatever." Li Mingxi went to her bedroom to shower.

"Don’t close the bathroom door." Xiao Lang reminded her from behind.

Li Mingxi entered the bathroom, closed the door, and locked it!

Xiao Lang went to the kitchen, opened the fridge door, and immediately saw a small piece of chocolate inside.

He paused for a moment, realizing it was something he had bought for her the other day.

Has she not eaten it yet?

Does she not like it, or is she saving it?

Xiao Lang preferred to believe it was the latter.

The fridge was almost empty, except for some juice, drinks, and a few eggs.

Quickly closing the fridge door, he went out to his own place.

...

Li Mingxi soaked in the bathtub, instantly feeling relaxed.

She quickly washed her hair, wrapped it up, and didn’t feel like moving at all.

Her eyelids feeling heavy, she closed her eyes and unknowingly drifted into sleep.

Xiao Lang cooked a bowl of wontons for Li Mingxi, using broth he had made earlier.

But when he finished, Li Mingxi still hadn’t come out.

Xiao Lang walked into her bedroom and knocked on the bathroom door.

"Mingxi, it’s time to eat."

There was no response, so he knocked again, "Mingxi, are you finished? It’s time to eat."

Still no response came back.

Xiao Lang was a bit worried, "If you don’t answer, I’m coming in!"

Annoyed, Li Mingxi opened her eyes, irritated at being woken from her good sleep.

Xiao Lang tried to push the door open from outside, but because she had locked it, he couldn’t get in.
