Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Pursue Until Home Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Pursue Until Home Shen Zhaozhao opened the door and saw Sheng Chuyi standing outside.
“Why are you still awake at this late hour?”
“I was just about to sleep. Did you need something?”
“No reason. I saw you hadn’t slept yet, so I heated a cup of milk for you.” Sheng Chuyi handed her the warm milk he’d prepared.
“Thanks!” Shen Zhaozhao took the milk, and the warmth of the cup against her palm felt comforting.
But how did he know she hadn’t gone to bed yet?
And to show up at her door so late just to bring her milk,
when had he become so considerate?
“Drink up and get to sleep early!” Sheng Chuyi urged.
“Got it!” Shen Zhaozhao nodded obediently.
Seeing her rare docile appearance, Sheng Chuyi couldn’t help but raise his hand to ruffle her hair.
“You’ve messed up my hairdo!” Shen Zhaozhao complained, but she didn’t pull away.
“Good night!” Sheng Chuyi chuckled softly, then turned to go back to his room.
Shen Zhaozhao watched his back for a moment before closing the door and carrying the milk inside.
During the weekend, Shen Zhaozhao spontaneously decided to bake a cake for herself.
Halfway through, she realized she was missing some ingredients, so she placed a rush order online.
Soon after she placed the order, she heard a knock on the door.
“That was fast?” Shen Zhaozhao muttered as she ran to open the door, only to find Meng Feifei standing there unexpectedly.
Both of them froze upon making eye contact.
Shen Zhaozhao’s first instinct was to close the door.
Outside, Meng Feifei came to her senses, furious, and began to furiously ring the doorbell.
Shen Zhaozhao took a deep breath, reopened the door, and asked Meng Feifei, “What do you want?”
Outside, Meng Feifei, with eyes wide as copper bells, nearly shrieked, “Shen Zhaozhao, why are you here?”
When she first saw Shen Zhaozhao, she thought she had seen wrong.
But it was indeed her.
“Why wouldn’t I be here?” Shen Zhaozhao had calmed down and countered with a raised eyebrow.
Seeing the other’s frantic state, she suddenly felt that being discovered wasn’t such a big deal after all.
Meng Feifei glanced behind her at the villa and accused, “Are you here to see Sheng Chuyi? You really are persistent, chasing a man all the way to his home, shameless!”
Shen Zhaozhao laughed in anger, “So I’m shameless for coming to see him? What about you? Are you here by pure coincidence?”
Meng Feifei stood her ground, “I have something I need Chuyi’s help with.”
“Really? And what help would you be needing from him?” Shen Zhaozhao inquired.
“That’s my business, why should I tell you?” Meng Feifei glanced at her disdainfully.
“Fine, I don’t want to know anyway,” Shen Zhaozhao said as she began to close the door.
“What are you doing?” Meng Feifei hurriedly stretched her hand out to stop her.
“You’re here to see Sheng Chuyi, aren’t you? Then you can wait at the door!” Shen Zhaozhao declared.
She still wanted to bake her cake and didn’t have time to waste on a verbal fight.
“What do you mean?” Meng Feifei glared at her, realizing she didn’t intend to call him for her.
Shen Zhaozhao: “I mean, he’s not home. You either wait here or come back another time.”
“What?” Meng Feifei screamed again, “You mean he’s not in? Then why are you inside his house?”
Shen Zhaozhao: “Why should I tell you?”
Meng Feifei suddenly seemed to have a revelation and pointed at her, accusing loudly, “You’ve actually sneaked into someone’s house when they’re not home? Shen Zhaozhao, this is trespassing!”
