Xiao Zhiren turned to see her impassible gaze trained on him. He felt like he was caught snooping around and even had a lingering feeling that she might throw him out of the house.
But nothing of that sort happened. Ru simply took a couple of steps closer to him and asked again, "What are you looking for?"
Being honest was the best tactic in Xiao Zhiren's mind as he answered, "There is a room missing on this floor. I'm looking for its door."
Ru's brow quirked up slightly. "Why do you think that? Maybe there are only two rooms on this floor." She spoke blandly as if none of this was interesting at all.
Xiao Zhiren shook his head persistently. "I can't be wrong this time."
"And why is that?" She retorted.
"Because there is an 'H' missing in this whole house." With his words, Xiao Zhiren saw Ru's lip curling upward again in an inconspicuous way. It was hardly noticeable.
