Uncle Shan and Shan Liang saw Lai Jiayi's beautiful smile.
Her smile made Uncle Shan so happy that he grinned from ear to ear while urging.
"Okay, okay, just treat our house as your house too. Liang Liang, guide Jia to her room." Uncle Shan waved his hand, asking his daughter to go.
'Jia must be tired from all this misfortune. She should rest.'
Hearing this, Shan Liang, who was sitting on the sofa armchair next to her father, jumped out.
"Okay! Yiyi, come with me!" The girl cheerfully picked the box on the floor while asking Lai Jiayi to follow her.
Before following Shan Liang, Lai Jiayi looked back and said in a whisper, "...thank you…"
Her thanks weren't directed only to today's help.
Back then, Uncle Shan was also one of the people who helped her during that incident, so it's no wonder she thanked him again.
"Don't thank me. Go, go. Make yourself comfortable. " Uncle Shan shook his head. The middle-aged man was still smiling happily.
The man saw Lai Jiayi went to the rooftop room, disappearing from his sight, and his smile also vanished along with it.
"...hhh…" Uncle Shan looked down at the floor, sighing.
'To think Jia is still traumatized even after ten years since that incident…not to mention the case with her family…'
Recalling the bad past, Uncle Shan gritted his teeth and murmured, "Damn those people!"
His face looked scary at this moment since he got reminded of those people making the Lai Family fall to this state.
If only he had power, he would be able to save the poor father-daughter pair.
"...Yuwen...you have to be okay…" Uncle Shan clenched his jaw as he prayed for his best friend's well-being. He would visit the hospital soon if he's allowed.
Third floor.
"Wow...isn't this the legendary rooftop room? Your house still has it!" Lai Jiayi gaped in awe, looking at the room in front of her.
This place looked like a hidden hideout, spacious, and everything was made out of wood. The home was also prettily decorated with plants and shining small bulbs.
Everything here was to Lai Jiayi's taste, but one thing caught her attention the most was precisely the ceiling.
The ceiling was made out of glass in the shape of a triangle. Underneath it, there was a single, comfy-looking bed. The sunlight and the moonlight could enter the room from this ceiling glass shining upon the bed.
It meant when Lai Jiayi laid on the bed, she could see the sky through the ceiling and enjoyed the sunlight in the morning and moonlight at night.
'This...looks so dreamy. The room looked like something straight out of a fairytale!'
Aside from the unique ceiling, one could also find a wooden study table near the bed.
Not to mention the room was completed by a bookshelf and a single-chair sofa.
The room looked simple yet gorgeous.
"So pretty…" Lai Jiayi subconsciously mumbled.
Seeing the girl's response, Shan Liang couldn't help but brag. "Like it? This used to be my secret hideout. Now, it will be your room!"
Though the room was a bit unusual, she's sure that Lai Jiayi would like it.
"Mn. I like it. Thank you…" Lai Jiayi stepped forward, and immediately, the smell of wood assaulted her nose.
It really relaxed her mind as she felt like being in the middle of a silent forest even though this house was located near the bustling street.
"There's also a balcony there, look! Small, but I think it's pretty good." Shan Liang couldn't contain her excitement and proudly introduced everything in the room to Lai Jiayi.
There's indeed a small balcony heading to the street. The balcony had a small roof, so one could still stand around without getting wet by the rain.
The balcony sure was pretty decorated with plants. Not to mention one could see the street from this height and also could see the city bustling view.
Seeing all of these, Lai Jiayi felt so touched by this great room that she almost cried.
'Ah...I am not that unlucky after all.' The girl silently thought.
She immediately turned around to find Shan Liang, and upon seeing her, she silently thanked her in her heart.
'...thank you...thank you so much.'
Lai Jiayi looked at Shan Liang while holding back her tears.
She knew that girl wouldn't like it if she kept thanking her, so let's thank her silently.
Shan Liang saw Lai Jiayi's gaze and thought that Lai Jiayi needed time to be alone.
Thus, the girl said, "Okay, okay, now you go take a bath first! The bathroom is there near the bookshelf. Don't forget to come down for dinner, ok?"
"Ok– " Lai Jiayi was just about to reply when Shan Liang cut her words. "Then, bye-bye!" Without waiting for Lai Jiayi to speak, Shan Liang immediately ran down, leaving the dumbfounded girl behind.
"...that rascal…" Lai Jiayi laughed as her eyes followed Shan Liang's figure. Only after the girl left she put her box down on the floor.
The girl then looked around the room she just received and somehow saw a little window on the wall where the study table was located.
The window looked so small yet cute, so much to her liking.
Lai Jiayi approached it out of curiosity and sat down on the chair in front of the study table. The girl placed her hand on the window, seemingly deep in thought as she looked outside.
It's still raining.
'In such cold weather, taking a hot bath will be good.'
With this thought, Lai Jiayi decided to leave. She had just about to retract her hand and went to take a bath when suddenly…
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
"Huh?" Lai Jiayi raised her right eyebrow when she heard the noise.
It's clearly coming from the small window, but she didn't see anything there.
Feeling a bit scared, Lai Jiayi was about to leave when the noise resumed hastily.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
?!
Now Lai Jiayi was even more terrified!
