"Do you know Xiao Dou?"
As Eve Thompson said this, she fixed her gaze on Flynn Darcy.
What a coincidence...
She wanted to know if Flynn really knew this person.
Upon hearing this, Flynn furrowed his brow.
His handsome features, devoid of their usual laziness and coldness, appeared somewhat bewildered, "Xiao Dou?"
Eve nodded.
Flynn shook his head: "I don't know."
Eve bit her lip: "He lives right across from you, and you don't know him?"
Flynn spoke up: "I'm hardly ever home, always out early and back late... The neighboring place is rented, and tenants change frequently. I never paid much attention."
Never paid much attention...
Flynn continued: "Are you looking for him? I can go with you..."
After saying this, he hesitated for a moment and added, "It's a bit of a mess across the hall."
-
When the door was knocked, Eve finally understood the meaning of "a bit of a mess" across the hallway.
