After a long search, Xi Feng had finally located what he had been seeking. However, in his moment of triumph, he failed to notice Aiyu slipping away unnoticed.
Expressionlessly he retrieved the D.D.D, (TL a device with a screen and various functions for communication) from its dusty hiding place.
"Ah, finally! I've found it. No need to waste money on a new one for that little sheep ," he muttered to himself. Glancing around in all directions, he realized Aiyu was nowhere to be found. Securing the D.D.D in his back pocket, he continued to scan the surroundings, hoping that the creature wouldn't cause any further annoyance.
In the eerie silence, she found it impossible to remain still without her beloved novels. With a mischievous nature, she decided to explore right under his oblivious nose. The study offered an escape to a spacious balcony, enclosed by towering walls.
Peering through the glass door, she cautiously slid it open, revealing his bedroom. It was a realm of darkness, yet exuded a lavishness that matched his study. The black floor, walls, bed, and even the antique furniture and paintings all blended seamlessly into the shadows.
Her eyes scanned the room, taking in every detail. And there, amidst the darkness, she noticed a book lying on the floor. She couldn't help but feel a pang of disdain. How could someone allow a book to be so carelessly disrespected?
Aiyu gently lifted the book from the floor, admiring its exquisite cover. It appeared to be a handmade treasure, old yet remarkably well-preserved.
" If it happened to be a romance novel, it would be a delightful way to pass the time , " she said to herself .
The thought of it being an original, handwritten version heightened her excitement. Just as she was about to open the book, Lu xi feng abruptly pulled her back, bringing them into an intense closeness. The book slipped from her grasp, falling to the ground .
Aiyu was taken aback, as if a thunderstorm had suddenly erupted. Lu xi feng's eyes blazed with anger as he demanded to know who had allowed her presence. He forcefully pushed her aside and rushed to retrieve the fallen book. In that moment, his expression softened, revealing a deep concern.
