Chapter 548: 021: An Insurmountable Obstacle
As it neared ten o’clock, Lu Shishu turned over in bed again. Her eyes inadvertently opened slightly but didn’t fully open, just faintly glanced, then closed again, her nose surrounded by a familiar yet strange scent of mint. Coupled with the unfamiliar decor and layout that had just caught her eye, it caused Lu Shishu to pause, suddenly open her eyes wide, sit up from the bed, and a strong wave of dizziness and pain followed immediately, making her instinctively raise her hand to her forehead, frowning tightly with a somewhat sorrowful expression, while her gaze still evaluated the layout of the room.
After surveying the entire room, Lu Shishu retracted her gaze, glaring at the blanket covering her. The bedding was a set of four simple yet elegant gray pieces, giving off a faint and pleasant mint scent.
After seeing the furnishings in the room and the style of this four-piece set, along with the slightly familiar mint scent, and considering the scattered memories from last night, she suddenly reached a conclusion in her heart, but it was not the conclusion she wanted. She felt some degree of resistance in her heart.
So she constantly denied her thoughts in her heart.
This won’t be Nan Jiayan’s home, it won’t be, absolutely not.
But even though she harbored such thoughts, as she lifted the blanket to get up, the burning sensation in her chest made her uncomfortable, coupled with the headache, she felt disoriented for a few seconds.
There were no slippers by the bed. Lu Shishu placed her feet on the cold floor, and a piercing chill seeped in from her soles, making her feel somewhat clear-headed.
Such hangovers were not unheard of in the past seven years. Every time she woke up the next day, this feeling of a headache and a burning sensation in her chest, she was almost used to it. It’s just that, for some reason, this time it felt inexplicably much worse than before, making her feel she couldn’t hold on, and even felt a sense of helplessness.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Lu Shishu, nerves taut, jerked her head to look in the direction of the door, only to find that the door was forcefully pushed open. But no figure appeared, and instead, there was a silver-gradient cat sitting at the door. It was not the same one she encountered at the door last time. This one seemed visibly more aloof, with an expression as if... it looked down on you.
Lu Shishu, enduring dizziness and looking at the cat at the door, blinked in a daze: "Who... are you?"
Listening to her bewildered voice, Biuqiu, this little creature, didn’t respond, but instead took a couple of steps towards her and then squatted a small distance away, looking at her with disdainful eyes, but remained silent.
One person and one cat stared at each other in the large bedroom, making the atmosphere in the room eerily quiet.
Lu Shishu thought she might have drunk herself into stupidity, actually asking a cat who it was. If it responded, that would really be spooky.
At this moment, Nan Jiayan had already prepared breakfast and hangover soup, placing the bowls and soup along with chopsticks and such on the table, and then intended to check on Lu Shishu in the room. But before he could exit the room, he saw Lu Shishu walking out barefoot from the room.
The two of them met eyes from across the space, and Lu Shishu was suddenly stunned, and the last bit of hope in her heart completely shattered. In fact, when she left the room and saw a decorative cabinet beside it, she felt a ’thud’ in her heart, because she witnessed that cabinet entering Nan Jiayan’s house when he was moving things. She just gave it a casual glance then, not knowing the person moving in was Nan Jiayan, so she didn’t pay attention. Now looking at it, it touched something inexplicable in her heart.
Moreover, the layout of this house seemed similar to her room’s layout, making her all the more suspicious. Until now, seeing Nan Jiayan truly standing in front of her, the expectations and worries she had were confirmed.
"Awake? Feeling dizzy? Is your stomach uncomfortable? Are you hungry?" Nan Jiayan saw she was awake, immediately smiled, walked over, and supported her arm, speaking with concern and care.
"I’m fine." Lu Shishu withdrew her arm from his palm, her expression cold, her tone irritated: "Why am I at your house?"
"You drank too much last night and fell asleep."
"My house is right across from yours, why..."
