Bang!
A sudden knocking sound echoed in the previously quiet living room, causing Lin Xiaolu, who was holding a rag, to lift her head.
"What the heck?"
Harboring full-blown confusion, Lin Xiaolu surveyed the glass in front of her and finally spotted a splotch of black dirt above the window. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a bug that had smashed into the glass.
"Ugh, that's really disgusting!"
Complaining with a hint of annoyance, she climbed onto the windowsill, hands and feet working together, and opened the window's safety latch. Standing on tiptoe and craning her neck, she reached the rag outside to try to wipe off the stain on the window.
However, just as she stretched her hand out the window, her feet suddenly slipped, and her entire body tilted backward, falling away from the window.
"Aaah!"
The short cry of alarm didn't last long because a pair of hands suddenly reached out from behind and steadied the about-to-fall Lin Xiaolu.
——"Be careful, Xiaolu sis."
