After Ling Shen gave the instructions, Lu Jiayan began to carry them out.
As Lu Jiayan walked out of the secret base, Ling Shen leaned back in his chair, his hand unconsciously touching the cup of milk tea. He looked up slightly at the ceiling.
The ice in the milk tea cup melted, and water droplets seeped out of the cup, leaving Ling Shen with a cool touch.
That happened a long, long time ago.
Ling Shen closed his eyes, and memories of what happened back then began to flash through his mind.
......
In the old house he moved to after he turned ten, he was lying in his room on the third floor when he heard a girl's voice coming from downstairs.
"I swear, I am definitely a good child. I am hardworking, not picky about food, honest and hygienic, polite and studious, cheerful and friendly, and respectful to my parents and elders."
The little girl, who looked only eight or nine years old, came again. She secretly climbed up the ivy, hoping to climb into his room just like last time.
But this time, unfortunately, after losing her footing and falling from the second-floor window, Sheng Xialiang said something like this in response to the adults' accusations.
She held up three fingers to swear, her expression sincere as if she were reciting the Young Pioneers' oath.
Hearing his words, Ling Shen, who was lying in the dimly lit room, remembered the little girl who had broken into his room last time. He hesitated for a moment, then stood up, walked to the window, reached out and pulled back the opaque curtains, and looked down through a small gap.
It was indeed the little girl. She was standing in the yard, and in front of her was the older sister that her grandfather had found to take care of her meals.
The little girl, about seven or eight years old, was just beginning to take shape. Her face still had a baby fat and was very tender. She looked like a porcelain doll, with an exquisite appearance.
She had a pair of almond-shaped eyes that looked at the older sister standing in front of her with a watery gaze. Her eyes were slightly droopy, and her pitiful expression made her incredibly endearing.
The older woman standing in front of her, who had been angry, gradually calmed down after meeting her gaze.
The older sister sighed, probably thinking it was too petty to argue with a child, and besides, the work here was exhausting for her, so she didn't have the energy to care about anything else.
She asked, "So how did you climb over the wall and then get up to the building?"
The little girl pointed to the tennis ball on the grass next to her and began to lie without batting an eye: "Someone threw my ball in here as a prank. I wanted to come in and get it, but when I heard a sound up there, I couldn't resist climbing up..."
nonsense!
Ling Shen, who was peeking out from the third-floor window, thought to himself that he had seen the tennis ball the day before.
However, the older sister usually only takes care of the food, and other people do things like cleaning the yard. But it's obvious that because of Ling Shen, the people who are cleaning have been slacking off, so they haven't taken the tennis ball away.
So, the older sister believed the thousand-year-old's lie.
There was a huge ivy climbing on the wall of the villa, and there was a wooden frame next to it, so it wasn't difficult to climb up.
The little girl lowered her eyes slightly, her eyes looking as innocent as Bambi's. Even the older sister, who wasn't very good-tempered, calmed down considerably.
When she fell, there was grass on the ground. It hurt, but thankfully she was not seriously injured. The little girl's arm was scraped and was bleeding. The wound looked particularly gruesome on her fair and thin arm.
The little girl and the older girl stared at each other for a while. The older girl glanced at the closed window on the third floor, sighed helplessly, and then reached out her hand to Sheng Xialiang: "Come in with me, I'll help you treat your wound."
The little girl immediately flashed a sweet smile and said ingratiatingly, "Thank you, big sister."
This detached villa looks quite old, with ivy covering its exterior walls. The old streets inside and outside the yard are lined with towering trees that envelop the villa. From the outside, the villa looks like a castle trapped in a fairy tale.
She didn't come to retrieve the ball because it was thrown in!
Ling Shen watched as the little girl followed the older sister into his house, but he was too lazy to care about what was happening outside. He drew the curtains and hid himself in the darkness again.
In this area, many people are curious about this villa. Some are talking about what kind of three-headed, six-armed, and ferocious old witch is hiding in the tightly closed window on the third floor. Some naughty children had been shouting outside the window, trying to lure the people in the room out.
But in the end, they often failed to lure Ling Shen out; instead, they lured out the menacing bodyguards inside the house.
This is the first time I've encountered someone as bold as her, who actually climbed over the wall to get in.
Ling Shen originally planned to go back to bed, but when he remembered the last time he saw the little girl, she reached out and touched his head, and a strong desire arose in Ling Shen's heart.
He wanted to see what this little girl was up to.
With this thought in mind, Ling Shen silently left the room, walked down from the third floor, and came to the corner of the stairs to the second floor. He hid behind a huge potted plant and looked at the situation on the first floor.
In this old house, besides the older sister, there were several nannies. When the nannies saw Ling Shen come down, they were startled.
Ling Shen's cold, stagnant eyes swept over them indifferently, treating them as if they were invisible.
Although the nannies were surprised that Ling Shen had come out, they remembered the doctor's instructions: if Ling Shen reacted to the outside world, they should not disturb him.
So the nannies all quietly left, afraid that they might disturb Ling Shen.
When the pretty older sister led her inside, the little girl didn't waste her beautiful eyes at all. Within just one minute of entering, she had figured out the layout of the entire house.
