Chisui looked at the house, her eyes shining.
Ling Shen looked at Qian Sui, his eyes shining.
The light in their eyes represented different things.
Qian Sui was somewhat puzzled by Ling Shen's question.
look familiar?
No, not at all.
Chisui frowned and looked at the house again. After examining it from head to toe, she shook her head and said, "It doesn't look familiar. I've never been here before, and I've never seen it before."
Qian Sui said no, but Ling Shen didn't react much.
He simply looked away and didn't continue the topic.
Ling Shen took a step forward, arrived at the gate of the house, pressed his fingerprint, and the door opened.
Ling Shen stood at the open courtyard gate and turned to Qian Sui, saying, "Come here."
Ling Shen stood at the entrance of the courtyard, one hand in his pocket, looking tall and elegant with a cool and aloof demeanor.
He was dressed in all black, which made his skin appear even whiter.
Chisui was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening and jogged over.
When Qian Sui arrived at his side, Ling Shen let Qian Sui go into the courtyard first, while he followed behind. After closing the door, he went in himself.
The lights were on in the house, but no one was home.
This was specially arranged by Ling Shen. When Ling Shen is not around, there is a housekeeper in the house, but when Ling Shen comes, the housekeeper will leave.
Because Ling Shen felt that everything in this house was a one-to-one replica of the original house, he felt that the people in the house should also be the same as before.
There were some unsigned items outside, so Chitose couldn't see the scenery inside very clearly. Now that she's inside the courtyard, Chitose can see the entire building structure clearly.
The courtyard is not large, but it is very exquisite. Various small flowers and succulents are planted in the corners, and the walls are covered with ivy.
Every plant in the yard looks like it has been carefully cared for.
While Qian Sui was watching over the courtyard, Ling Shen had already reached the door of the house.
The housekeeper must have just left; the lights were on in the house, and the front door was open. Ling Shen walked straight in.
Chisui was still bending over, poking the succulents in the corner with her finger.
Seeing Ling Shen enter the house out of the corner of her eye, she abandoned the succulents and followed Ling Shen inside.
The house has a cozy layout, with warm yellow lights shining down, bathing the entire house in a warm glow.
The color scheme and layout were very warm, but as soon as Chitose entered, she felt that the house was somewhat deserted.
Perhaps it was a professional habit from Chisui's old profession that kicked in. After entering, Chisui looked around and then couldn't help but start telling fortunes with his hands behind his back.
Ling Shen lived in this house for eight years. During those eight years, many important things happened, so Ling Shen had a deep affection for this house.
Ling Shen stood in the living room, tilting his head slightly upwards to look at the stairwell on the second floor.
He was wearing a simple black T-shirt and black casual trousers, with one hand in his pocket and the other hanging down naturally.
The room was warmly lit, but his facial features were very fair and clear.
Ling Shen stood a few steps away from Li Qian Sui, standing very straight, his eyes fixed on the corner of the second floor, his gaze no longer as gentle as when he looked at Qian Sui.
After Qian Sui finished calculating the divination with his fingers, he turned his attention to Ling Shen.
She glanced at Ling Shen from head to toe and felt that Ling Shen's current state was a bit strange.
Ling Shen stared intently at the corner on the second floor. Qian Sui followed his gaze, but there was nothing there. However, Ling Shen's eyes remained fixed on the spot, as if he were deep in thought.
It's like trying to figure out some kind of trick.
From her position, Qian Sui couldn't see the entire second-floor stairwell clearly, and since she was relatively short, she moved closer to where Ling Shen was standing.
Qian Sui stood on tiptoe and peered into the spot where Ling Shen was looking.
Ling Shen looked at it for a while, then stopped looking.
He noticed Chitose's subtle movements when she tilted her head and came in front of him.
Ling Shen reached out and covered Qian Sui's head with his palm, saying to Qian Sui, "What are you looking at?"
Ling Shen covered Qian Sui's head with his large hand.
Qian Sui pouted and said, "I should be asking you, what are you looking at?"
Ling Shen glanced at the corner on the second floor, then pressed Qian Sui's head and turned her towards the restaurant.
When the housekeeper left, he left two drinks and a small cake on the table.
It's a flavor that Chitose likes.
Ling Shen pressed Qian Sui down to sit on the sofa in the dining room.
After Chisui sat down, she still turned her head to look towards the direction of the second-floor staircase.
Ling Shen noticed Qian Sui's gaze, so he reached out and turned Qian Sui's head back, making her look at the small cake on the table.
Ling Shen asked, "Is there a cake at the bottom of the stairs?"
Qian Sui shook her head: "No."
Qian Sui came to her senses and realized that since Ling Shen didn't want to talk about it, she naturally wouldn't know.
Chitose picked up the drink on the table and took a sip.
Having come all this way, the Emperor must be thirsty.
After Qian Sui calmed down, Ling Shen leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Chitose was sitting and eating cake when she caught a glimpse of a photograph hanging on the wall.
The photo shows a pretty girl.
The girl looked to be in her early twenties, with long hair, wearing a simple white dress, and smiling at the camera.
Chisui let out a soft "Eh."
Then he stood up, walked over, and carefully examined the photograph.
Qian Sui stared for a long time before turning to Ling Shen and asking, "Who is this person?"
Ling Shen had his eyes closed, but he didn't open them when he heard Qian Sui's words.
Ling Shen could tell what Qian Sui was asking from the direction she was speaking.
Ling Shen was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
Then, he slowly opened his eyes.
But Ling Shen didn't look at Qian Sui; instead, he looked up at the ceiling.
The ceiling was blank, but Ling Shen seemed to be trying to figure something out.
Qian Sui turned to look at Ling Shen, but seeing that Ling Shen didn't speak, she didn't press him further.
Qian Sui just stared at Ling Shen. She always felt that Ling Shen had become a different person after coming to this house.
It was Ling Shen who brought Qian Sui here, but after bringing her here, Ling Shen remained silent, as if he had something on his mind.
Although Qian Sui was somewhat confused about what was going on, she felt that Ling Shen must have his own reasons.
After pondering for a moment, Qian Sui roughly understood.
Ling Shen previously mistook her for the little girl from his memories, and now he's brought her to this place. So this house is probably related to that little girl.
Could it be that the person in the photo is that little girl?
Chitose turned to look at the photo, but she felt that the girl in the photo was a bit older, maybe around twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
Moreover, the girl in the photo doesn't have a beauty mark under her left eye.
