It must be said that a woman's intuition is often very accurate.

Liu Zhongze scratched his head awkwardly, then said, "No, right?"

He felt that his tone was already very weak, but Lin Luoying didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

He then realized how carelessly the previous owner of this body treated those around him. Lin Luoying was someone the deceased Liu Zhongze had put effort into, but his parents didn't receive the same treatment.

In the presence of three family members, Liu Zhongze followed Lin Luoying into a Honda, which was bought for her by her parents in her early years and was considered joint property between the couple.

Liu Zhongze remained silent. Despite being from the 80s, he had a very difficult life back then and was too ashamed to even approach girls.

The bruises on Lin Luoying's face had faded somewhat, revealing half of her pure and innocent cheek. When the light shone on her eyes, they seemed to sparkle.

"Is everything going smoothly in Dongyue? In the past, even if I didn't ask, you would always tell me on your own initiative."

Lin Luoying kept using the phrase "old lady, old lady," seemingly because she didn't want to be outdone by Liu Zhongze. However, her frequent glances at the rearview mirror to observe Liu Zhongze's expression betrayed her; she was more nervous about Liu Zhongze than anyone else.

"Fine, forget I asked."

When Liu Zhongze looked at Lin Luoying's face, he found that the girl was very pretty and could easily arouse a man's protective instincts.

Liu Zhongze felt that if things continued like this, the truth would be exposed sooner or later. He coughed and said, "It went quite smoothly. The short scenes were filmed very quickly. When I arrived, the director was directing three scenes at the same time. When I left, two of the three scenes were completed, and the remaining one was more than halfway done."

Lin Luoying glanced at Liu Zhongze from the car and thought that his report today was quite detailed. She couldn't find the usual sharp and confrontational tone, so she didn't say anything more.

The car drove all the way from Huacheng to Haicheng and stopped in a well-renovated residential area. It wasn't high-end, nor was it an old neighborhood that might be demolished at any time; it was just a standard, unremarkable place.

After parking the car underground, it was already past midnight. Lin Luoying held Liu Zhongze's hand and led him up to the elevator.

As soon as they entered the room, Lin Luoying clung to Liu Zhongze, saying in a weak voice, "You're so sensitive today."

Liu Zhongze looked embarrassed, frantically racking his brains for a solution. He said, "Oh, right, my phone isn't charged yet. Wait a moment."

Lin Luoying was a little confused. She had thought that Liu Zhongze was hospitalized and then rushed to Dongyue to film a short drama. According to their schedule, they should be in bed by now.

She touched her neck and murmured, "He loved to choke me..."

---

Sweating profusely, Liu Zhongze entered the room and pretended to bump into the door, leaving it slightly ajar. He then frantically searched for his clothes before charging his phone.

When Lin Luoying entered the room, she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. She walked to the bathroom door, turned the doorknob, and found that the door was locked. She quickly went to the mirror and carefully examined her makeup for the day.

At this moment, Liu Zhongze's phone was charged and turned on normally. She glanced at it and saw that in addition to her own messages, an unknown number had made several calls to Liu Zhongze.

His cold and strange reactions, and his constant, intentional or unintentional avoidance of her, made it clear to Lin Luoying what had happened.

Just as Liu Zhongze breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take off his clothes to shower, he was suddenly startled by a noise at the bathroom door!

Someone slammed a chair against the bathroom door. He hurriedly asked, "Lin Luoying, what happened?"

"Fine, now you're not only having an affair, but you even dare to call me by my full name!"

There was another loud banging on the door. Liu Zhongze, seeing the bathroom door teetering on the verge of collapse, quickly asked, "What affair? I just went out to film a short drama!"

"Still denying it! That vixen has called you several times already. Since you won't admit it, I'll call her back and let you confront her face to face!"

The banging on the door stopped. Liu Zhongze carefully approached the bathroom door. He tried to grab the toilet brush in the bathroom, but then felt that it couldn't protect him, so he silently put it back.

The phone rang twice outside, and then a man's voice came through.

"Hello, Teacher Liu?"

A hoarse voice replied, "He's in the bathroom. What do you need?"

"Okay, okay, tell Teacher Liu that he left in a hurry during the day and forgot to leave his bank account number with the crew. I'm the assistant of Chen Yuyi, the short drama director, who's here to get his bank account number and transfer his payment."

The man with the hoarse voice at the bathroom door didn't immediately agree, but instead said, "The person you're looking for isn't with his girlfriend. Say whatever you want."

"Huh? I didn't dial the wrong number, did I? I'm looking for Liu Zhongze, Teacher Liu." The voice on the other end of the line paused for a moment, as if checking if the number was correct, before Xiaoyu's voice came through, muttering to herself, "I didn't dial the wrong number..."

At this moment, Liu Zhongze peeked out from the bathroom and saw Lin Luoying holding his phone in one hand, tears welling in her eyes, and gripping the gap in the wooden chair with the other.

Lin Luoying snorted, tossed her phone to him, and turned to leave the room.

She rented a large place, not only because the two of them needed to live together, but also because they needed a location to shoot short videos to market their account. It was a place where work and life were mixed together. If the place was too small, they wouldn't be able to work properly.

Lin Luoying found another room with a bed and went inside by herself.

The little fish's voice was still asking "Hey, feed me" on the phone. Liu Zhongze took the phone and said, "Little fish, it's me."

"Oh, it's Teacher Liu. Who was that child just now? Why was he talking so strangely?"

"You want my bank account number, right?" Liu Zhongze did not answer the other party's question directly.

Xiaoyu immediately agreed, "Yes, Teacher Liu, I almost forgot to settle your payment. Give me your card number and I'll transfer it to you in the next couple of days."

"Card number...card number..." Liu Zhongze held his phone, but his mind kept going back to the bank card number of the body's owner.

A voice came quietly from the corner: "I've sent the card number to your phone, take a look."

Liu Zhongze's first reaction upon looking at his phone was to pull it away, as he felt the light from the phone would hurt his eyes.

He checked and finally found the text message, only to discover it wasn't there. He asked in confusion, "It's not there, is it?"

Lin Luoying walked out of the room with a cold expression. She opened Liu Zhongze's social media and her expression softened when she saw that she was the only one who had sent him a message.

Liu Zhongze held his phone in both hands, stretching his arms as far as possible, and frowned as he read out the bank card number one digit at a time.

Actually, Xiaoyu on the other end of the phone really wanted to add Liu Zhongze on social media, but he was just a small assistant and didn't dare to make any more requests.

"I found it, teacher."
