Rebirth from the Ashes

Song Wenye opened her eyes in a daze to her goddess sitting nearby reading a book. She let out a foolish smile. “Lil Xixi, why aren’t you sleeping?”

Lil Xixi was smelling good from a bath. She looked prettier with pajamas on.

F*ck!

How did she fall asleep?

Song Wenye missed a great chance to peep on the goddess taking a bath!

Lifting her head from her book, Shen Xi took a glance at her. Her indolent voice was absent of the usual frigidness. “You’re awake?”

Still upset, Song Wenye obsessively gazed at her and bobbed her head. “Were you reading all this while?”

Shen Xi hummed in acknowledgement. “You should go home since you’re awake.”

Song Wenye crawled over and pulled her arms around Shen Xi like an octopus. “No. I don’t have a home. My home is wherever you are.”

Shen Xi rolled her eyes in disdain. “Don’t make me use force.”

Jumping away, Song Wenye warily folded her arms and cuddled up into a ball. “I was wrong. I was really wrong. I’ll sleep on the sofa or the floor but I won’t go home.”

“Help yourself. I’m going to hit the sack.” Song Wenye gave Shen Xi the illusion that she was a bully having his way with an honest young lady. Look at her. Shen Xi would only tickle her at most.

Leaping in joy, Song Wenye gestured a huge heart as Shen Xi took strides into the bedroom. “Good night.”

Shen Xi did not look back. “Good night.”

Song Wenye held her heart and shrieked like a groundhog. Oh, oh, oh! Lil Xixi bade her goodnight!

Red Bar was thrown into chaos.

The third eldest son of the Su family, Su Mushi was searching for the perpetrator in the bar like mad, causing the managing staff in the bar to quake in their boots.

Nothing came up in the end. All surveillance was checked yet there was no perpetrator found.

No one went in during the time Su Ruowan was in and out of the washroom.

Fuming with rage, Su Mushi immediately went to Shen Xi’s room and kicked on the door. “Shen Xi! Show yourself!”

Wanwan mentioned that she seemed to have heard Shen Xi’s voice.

It had to be the doing of Shen Xi, that evil brat!

What did Wanwan do to deserve the constant abuse!

“Mushi, it’s not Shen Xi. I must have heard it wrong. It was a hallucination from missing Shen Xi too much.” Su Ruowan pulled Su Mushi back with tears pouring down her face.

The absence of that b*tch, Shen Xi, in the hotel during this time would prove that she was behind this, even if she was not!

“Wanwan, stay out of it.” Su Mushi was on the warpath and out to get Shen Xi. He gave the door another kick.

The door was suddenly opened.

Su Mushi missed and lost his footing. He would have taken a fall had it not for Su Ruowan. His eyes were bloodshot from burning fury. “Shen Xi!”

“Get lost!” Shen Xi coldly blurted before slamming the door close.

Su Mushi reached out to seize the door. He pulled himself together before enquiring through clenched teeth. “Where were you tonight?”

“Reading and sleeping.” Shen Xi looked askance at him impatiently. “I’m calling the cops if you’re going to harass me.”

The blank look on Shen Xi’s face like he did not matter really put Su Mushi off. Scowling, he questioned further. “It was you, wasn’t it? You followed us to the bar and splashed Wanwan with cold water in the washroom.”

“Su Mushi.” Shen Xi pointed at his head and scoffed. “You should seek help if you have a problem there. I’m calling the cops if you’re not letting go.”
