When Shi Guang awoke the next day, she greeted the ceiling with a dazed face.
She remembered that she had gotten drunk the previous night, but what happened afterward was a complete… blank.
Why did it feel as though Lu Yanchen had come by? However, given how quiet the entire room seemed, it was as though she had had a lewd dream, and even questioned if it were her imagination at work.
Not only that, her body felt cooled all over. Clearly, she must have taken a shower before sleeping.
Wait, did she shower herself or…?
Shi Guang could not verify those seemingly hallucinating thoughts of hers.
She watched the bathroom in a stumped manner.
Click!
The bathroom door opened as a man walked out of it, wrapped in a bathrobe with his hair still wet and his body sparkling with the glistening water droplets.
“Lu Yanchen!” She called out as she looked over with widened eyes. As she blinked a couple of times, there was no one there.
Shi Guang slapped herself on her forehead. It must be because of what Qian Xun had said about Lu Yanchen having no sex life that she ended up getting such a realistic lewd dream, even feeling as though he had come out of the bathroom early in the morning!
It was only after she laid on the bed for some time before she got up slowly and washed up.
When she went to get herself a glass of water, she found a thermal flask with pork ribs porridge kept warmly inside. Not only that, there was even a pan-fried bun on top of the flask that was perfectly crispy as a match for the porridge.
Who prepared this for her?
This had Shi Guang questioning again whether what happened last night was a dream. Otherwise, who would have prepared breakfast for her?
She had a rough image of Qian Xun sending her back to the hotel last night.
Was it her then?
After having breakfast, Shi Guang saw the time—it was already noon. She thought of inviting Qian Xun for lunch. Initially, she had wanted to thank the latter last night, but who would have thought that she would have drunk that much. Although, she did remember telling Qian Xun that she wanted to be friends before she got drunk.
However, when Shi Guang tried looking for Qian Xun in her hotel room in the next couple of days, there was no one there.
Shi Guang thought that she must have checked out of the hotel already. But, why did she not leave behind her contact?
That day, there was a heavy downpour as Shi Guang stood in the hotel’s lobby, watching the thunderstorm outside with furrowed brows in a blank daze.
In life, there were always things that would seem simple at first glance. For example, she thought that by coming over to the capital, she would be able to gain some hope. However, it was truly difficult looking for someone in this ocean of people.
After standing for a while, just as she was about to head back, she saw a man approaching her from a distance, walking over slowly with an umbrella.
She had not expected that it would be Yang Chifeng.
When he saw her, he was somewhat surprised as well. But, when he saw Shi Guang turning around to want to leave immediately, he called out at her, “Shi Guang!”
Shi Guang ignored him, merely continuing to walk forth. “…”
“Shi Guang, I’ve got something important to tell you! It’s about your sister.”
Those were the words that stopped Shi Guang in her tracks as she turned around to look at him, nodding her head in agreement.
…
At a glamorous café on the 2nd floor of the place, Yang Chifeng’s gaze was locked onto Shi Guang’s face.
She looked way more fatigued than ever, with faint dark circles beneath her eyes. Clearly, this was a result of not being able to sleep at night; at the same time, she seemed skinnier than ever.
For a moment, Yang Chifeng felt a pang of unspeakable emotions.
“I was thinking of looking for you after heading back. To think that I would bump into you in the capital,” He said wearily as he took a sip of coffee.
