Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Get Closer, and Closer_1
This sensation was truly delightful, a sense of revival that filled her with vibrancy, like a reward for having passed a test.
That man.
Qiao Xiaren slightly lowered the corners of her mouth, recalling the man in black who had appeared in her dream. The man was with Qiao Anchu, seeming very familiar with each other.
In her previous life’s mory, this man didn’t exist.
She closed her eyes, and fragnts about that man surfaced in her mind—the black outfit, the steady, slow stride, and the view up to the fair and elegant chin.
From his appearance, he didn’t seem old. Qiao Xiaren intuitively sensed that he was no ordinary person. Moreover, she found him very odd.
...
Why was he helping Qiao Anchu? Also, Qiao Anchu said, “You’re dead, and I may finally find peace.” What was Qiao Anchu afraid of? Why did he want her dead? She couldn’t recall offending so many people.
Xiaren always felt that either there was sothing mystical at play, or there was sothing she didn’t know about the whole situation.
“Your highness, have you figured sothing out? Is there another shaless slut coming to bother you?” Xiaotian’s innocent voice sounded in her mind, sounding sowhat excited, “Kill them one by one, a couple for a couple!”
Qiao Xiaren just smiled and didn’t speak. She left the bathroom directly, with her mind already reflecting on the anomaly that had erged that night.
“Xiaren, co eat.” Madam Si set the tableware and beckoned her to sit down. Qiao Xiaren stared at the woman full of nobility who seed very young, feeling a bit stunned.
The appearance of a luxurious and noble madam setting the table in such a humble apartnt was quite incongruous, but it grounded her a lot.
“Thank you, madam.”
“Why are you still calling Madam?” Madam Si sat down with a smile, “You may as well call … Auntie.”
She originally wanted to suggest ‘mom,’ but feared it would directly scare her away.
“Thank you, Auntie.” Qiao Xiaren didn’t fuss about the title. Looking at the sumptuous food in front of her, her appetite was stimulated. The mini soup dumplings were delicate and smooth, full and shiny. The buttercread at slightly fried with a golden hue wrapped in delicious broth looked appetizing.
There were octopus balls, olette rice, and a few dishes that Qiao Xiaren couldn’t na.
Madam Si was also very satisfied, it seed that her son wasn’t too obtuse after all.
“Co on, eat more.”
“Thank you, Auntie.”
Hearing her crisp voice and seeing her calm smiling face, a tingling sensation, as if being teased, sprang up in Si Limo’s heart. It was tickling, sowhat numb, and brought a sour-sweet feeling.
Suddenly, a surge of irritability rose from within. She was right before his eyes, yet this feeling didn’t lessen.
He felt it wasn’t enough; he wanted to be even closer, much closer, preferably holding her in his arms.
Lately, his mood had been rollercoasting like this. Sotis he felt inexplicably sweet, while often he felt lancholic. Even his parents and sister told him his moods were increasingly volatile.
But as long as he saw Qiao Xiaren, as long as he saw her, everything felt alright.
