Mrs. Bai was really worried, as there had been no sound from Shen Fu inside, and the door had obviously been locked from within.
She immediately rummaged through drawers and cabinets to find the spare key and upon opening the door, saw Shen Fu lying peacefully on the bed.
Mrs. Bai realized she had taken it too far and approached him with a mix of concern and guilt, only to see Shen Fu's lips were ghastly pale, with particularly dark circles under his eyes and his hair all messy.
"Shen Fu, are you sick?" Mrs. Bai's usually haughty face was etched with unmistakable concern.
Shen Fu's eyes were vacantly staring at the ceiling, "I, had a nightmare~"
"What kind of nightmare?"
"Don't want to think about it~" Shen Fu closed his eyes in agony, then asked, "Mrs. Bai, is my 'little buddy' gone?"
"How could that be? Don't let your imagination run wild. Who could steal it?"
"Then why can't I feel it anymore?"
