Aveline frowned slightly and asked, “That is strange. Did you change the locks?”Selena nodded. “I did, but it didn’t help. I’m starting to wonder if these thieves are expert locksmiths. Maybe they learned how to pick locks before deciding to become burglars.”Aveline chuckled at her comment but still said, “If it’s that unsafe here, maybe you should find a new place to live.”Selena sank into the couch with a sigh. “I’d love to, but the landlord won’t refund my deposit. It’s a lot of money.”Aveline gave her a sympathetic look. “How much longer is your lease?”Selena thought for a moment. “Just one more month. After that, I’m definitely moving.””Good.” Aveline nodded.That seemed like the best solution.But she couldn’t shake the feeling of unease-why were there repeated break-ins at Selena’s place? She recalled the first time it happened, which coincided with her staying there. Unable to make sense of it, Aveline got up and headed to the kitchen to check what ingredients were available.Seeing this, Selena asked, “Weren’t we going to your place?”Aveline replied, “I’m already here. Why bother going back to my place? Isn’t that a hassle?”Selena hugged a stuffed toy, giving her a knowing look. “Is it really about avoiding trouble, or are you trying to dodge someone?”Aveline glanced at her. “Wow, you’re so sharp.””Hmph, of course, I am,” Selena said, lifting her chin proudly. “But seriously, how did you end up hiking together?”Aveline’s lashes fluttered at the question. She hadn’t told Selena about what happened the night before, and if she did, Selena would definitely want to confront him.”He lives below me. He caught me when I was leaving, and he insisted on taking me hiking,” Aveline explained.Selena shook her head. “That guy is really something else.””Right?” Aveline said with a slight smirk. “I must be cursed to have met someone like him.”Selena sighed. “What’s worse is, I’ve had the misfortune of meeting someone like that too.”Aveline closed the refrigerator door and said, “Let’s go grocery shopping. Your fridge is empty. What do you usually eat?”Selena walked over to a cabinet, opened it, and revealed an assortment of instant noodles. “Here you go, all sorts of flavors. Just tell me which one you want-I’ve got them all!” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰind_ηovel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Aveline was speechless. Her resolve to take Selena to the supermarket only grew stronger.The two of them headed out the door. As Selena was locking up, she looked at the keychain in her hand and asked, “Aveline, where did you buy this keychain? It’s a bit worn out, and I want to get a new one.” Aveline took the keychain, examined it closely, and a look of confusion crossed her face. “I don’t remember buying a keychain like this.”It was a simple, round keychain with a five-pointed star design on it.Selena raised an eyebrow. “How is that possible? When you moved out and gave me the keys, this was already on it.”Was that so?Aveline thought about it for a moment, then shook her head. “I really don’t remember. Maybe I just bought it randomly.”Selena shrugged, not thinking much of it. “Alright, then.”She put the keys back in her pocket, and the two of them got into the elevator.The supermarket wasn’t far from the complex, just a ten-minute walk. They picked out their favorite vegetables and fruits, then took a taxi back home. However, when they stepped out of the elevator and saw the door to Selena’s apartment wide open again, both Aveline and Selena were stunned. “Ah… this…” Selena was completely dumbfounded.
