Chapter 3 I'm Your Neighbor

Yuri only carried a schoolbag and a suitcase when she left the Johnson Family's house. Her father passed away in a car accident, leaving her with a sum of money and an old house. Perhaps it was because she felt unlucky, Lily didn't keep these things. Yuri had always been in charge of them. At the thought of being able to return to her father's home, Yuri couldn't help but feel a little happy. As expected, leaving that house was the right decision. Lily had always felt that she was wronging herself for Yuri's sake. However, Yuri was also suffering because of Lily. She worked hard to be obedient and to study hard. However, she still couldn't get any love from Lily. At that moment, Yuri suddenly understood that what Lily wanted was never an obedient child. She just didn't want to see her daughter who kept reminding her of her past. It was raining outside. Yuri did not bring an umbrella, nor did she take shelter from the rain. At this time, the rain created a sad atmosphere, but Yuri knew when the sun rose tomorrow, she would have a new beginning. Her father's old house was not far away. Yuri walked for half an hour. When she arrived at the old house, she was almost drenched, but there was a smile on her plain face. When Chris Lius stood on the windowsill, he saw a girl standing next to his house. Her smile at night was quite creepy. "I'm back." Yuri's voice was very soft, but it was rare for her to relax. The old house was a two-story bungalow, which could accommodate her broken heart. She opened her schoolbag and suddenly found that the key was gone. It turned out to be a small hole in the schoolbag. The key must be lost. Yuri suddenly felt a little sad. She walked for half an hour and she didn't know where the key had fallen. "Is it wrong to leave that home?" She thought that she had to change the key tomorrow. Lily also had the key. Yuri was worried that Lily would disturb her. Yuri carried her schoolbag into the yard. Fortunately, the eaves could protect her from the rain. She sat on the suitcase and looked quite pitiful. Chris stood by the window on the second floor and watched the girl move in like a ghost from a distance. There had been no one living next door. Chris once thought that the family was gone. Did someone come back? Chris looked at the next door in confusion, but he didn't see the light. Was it a thief just now? With some doubts, he brought the umbrella out of the yard. Before he could get close to the yard next door, he saw the girl sitting on the suitcase, shivering. She was wet all over like an abandoned puppy as if she had been fished out of the water. "You... are the owner of this house?" The man's voice was very soft, but Yuri was so shocked that she suddenly raised her head and looked at the man in front of her with her wet eyes. The man was dressed in casual clothes but still looked elegant. He held a black umbrella and looked at her indifferently. Yuri nodded slightly. "Yes." She didn't know this extremely good-looking man. Why did he appear in front of her so quietly? Was he... a ghost? Yuri shivered subconsciously. She was so scared that she shrank back. It was a little remote here, and no one should have appeared in the middle of the night, so what was he...? The little girl's eyes were full of vigilance. Chris, who was in a high position, saw it clearly and subconsciously softened his voice. "I've bought the courtyard next door. I'm your neighbor." Yuri subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at the room next door. Sure enough, the lights were on and the door was open. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was a human being! "Okay," Yuri answered in a low voice. After her father died, the neighbor next door disliked bad luck and moved out. She didn't expect that even the yard would be sold. "Since you are the owner of this house, why don't you go in?" Chris frowned. Why did he feel that the little girl in front of him was a little silly? Moreover, there was an obvious palm print on her face, which didn't look very good. Yuri sniffed and sneezed. "I lost my key. No one will change the lock tonight. I'll find someone to change it tomorrow." "So you plan to stay here for the night?" The corners of Carlos's mouth twitched. He was not a kind person, but when he saw a girl squatting here pitifully, he felt his heart skip a beat. For some reason, he felt that if he didn't do anything, he would be too cruel. "Yes." Yuri nodded. It was impossible for her to return to the Johnson Family. She would rather stay here for the night. In fact, she could live in a hotel, but now she was weak and seemed to be unable to go that far. She tilted her head and leaned against the wall. Her head was a little hot, and Chris subconsciously felt that something was wrong. He stepped forward and put his hand on her forehead. As expected, she had a fever!
