House Rules - Thriller Stories 02

The courier in front of me is wearing a blue isolation suit!

I pretended to be calm: "Sorry, these are not my supplies."

The "deliverer" grinned and continued to call the next household.

I hurried into the house, closed the door and continued to observe the outside. Household 703 took the supplies, but Household 702 Zhenxi did not.

As the elevator doors close, the numbers begin to grow.

Zhenxi sent me a WeChat message: Damn, you have seen it too, the delivery man is wearing a blue isolation suit.

Yes I am. In the WeChat group, some people said that the delivery staff wore yellow, while others said it was blue.

The person who saw the blue courier said that he took the supplies and there was no problem. Some people began to regret not taking supplies because they were afraid of violating the rules.

Sleepiness swept over me.

But I still checked to see if the windows were closed and the curtains were drawn.

While lying on the sofa, Zhenxi sent another WeChat message: Do you have a lot of instant noodles at home?

? I have. Zhenxi: [Transfer] Me: When will you pick it up? people ignore me

. Forget it, I was too sleepy, so I fell asleep and left.

The sharp knock on the door wakes me up

. I glanced at the time on my phone—11:01.

"2. Stay at home between 10:00 and 12:02. Do not make a sound or respond to anyone knocking on the door."

I immediately covered my mouth to prevent myself from making any noise. He turned over, huddled into the sofa again, and opened WeChat.

Zhenxi sent the message at around 9 o'clock. Zhenxi: What about people?

Zhenxi: Didn’t you say you would be at home after 10 o’clock? I'll pick it up at 12 o'clock.

News at 10:02. Zhenxi: Damn it, why are the 703 residents standing in front of your house?

Zhenxi: What’s going on? Is there something wrong with him? Didn't you say stay at home? News from 5 minutes ago.

Zhenxi: This turtle grandson is starting to break down your door! Zhenxi: What’s going on? Where are you! I'm so panicked!

Me: You mean he's been standing at my door since 10 o'clock? Zhenxi: Yes! I've been watching it!

Zhenxi: I mean I have been observing him, nothing else.

Zhenxi: Originally, I just wanted to see if anyone went out during this time and see what would happen.

Suddenly the knocking on the door stopped. Only then did I dare to act boldly, and the time on the phone screen was 11:02.

I lay on the door and watched the resident of 703 slowly walk towards the door of Zhenxi's house through the cat's eyes.

I had finished cooking, and the resident of 703 was still standing in front of Zhenxi's house.

After I washed the dishes, there was a knock on the door, and I glanced at the time, 11:57.

Zhenxi: I'm so hungry. In 3 minutes, I can have two packs of instant noodles.

Zhenxi: [moving emoticon package] Me: It's 5 minutes, you go and look at the rules.

Zhenxi: God, if you didn't remind me, I would have thought it was the whole hour.

When the time came to 12:02, the resident of 703 stopped knocking on the door, turned around slowly but went back to his room with silky movements.

Me: Come and get it.

Zhenxi: That person left?

I am leaving.

I watched Zhenxi's door open.

She came out and looked around like a thief breaking into a house.

Zhenxi got the instant noodles as she wished, but had no intention of turning around and leaving.

"What happened?" She rubbed her hair irritably.

"I don't know. Anyway, let's follow the rules."

He sighed and went back to the room.
