Li Lanni saw so books on the shelf and went over to check them out. Most of them were research books of different subjects, journals and several notebooks. She opted for the notebooks. She took them to her bed and started looking through them. However, all this was a block of information that she could not make head or tail off. Had she lost the ability to read as well, or was it that the things written in these notebooks were just too complex for her to understand? Whatever it was, it was not in the least bit pleasant.
She got tired just looking at them so she shrugged and gave up. She lay on her bed with a sigh. Without knowing it, she fell asleep.
...
The next day.
Li Lanni went for a stroll around the backyard with her mother.
With the calm and warmth livening up the atmosphere, she finally curiously asked, "Don’t I go to school or work?"
Her mother replied, "You go to school. You are currently in the sa University as Feifei."
"Mmh." So she was a student. She shouldn’t be that old.
Li Lanni scolded herself at that thought. Her mother was right here. She could just simply ask, couldn’t she? She was about to ask more details like her age, what she was studying and which year she was in when a soft voice resounded from behind them. "Lanni, Aunty!"
It was Ji Feifei. She strutted over to them and waved a plastic bag slightly. "Lanni, I ca to see you. Look, I bought you so of the cookies from Royau, it’s a fairly new pastry shop. You will love them!"
"Oh." Li Lanni said but did not reach for the cookies. Even then, she smiled a little to acknowledge her presence.
Ji Feifei did not notice Li Lanni’s coldness and smiled at Li Yuming radiantly. "Aunty, didn’t you have to et soone today? You don’t have to worry too much about Lanni. I will take care of her."
Li Yuming liked this young woman very much. She and Li Lanni had known each other for many years and had grown even closer in recent years. Being with a close friend of the sa age might be just what Li Lanni needed to lighten up her dull mood.
She smiled back at the girl. "I’ll go tomorrow. You girls must have a lot to catch up on. Don’t let Lanni walk too much." she urged and went back to the house.
The two girls did not talk much, majorly because Li Lanni just didn’t feel like talking. They went back to the house after a short stroll. Li Lanni noticed what looked like a note on her pillow when they entered her room.
Ji Feifei teased her imdiately. "Soone has an admirer, eh?"
"Don’t tease . It’s just a piece of paper. It can be anything."
But when she opened it, the content was surprising.
[Lanni, if you are reading this, you must be back ho.
I just wanted to warn you. Vile creatures disguise themselves as good people and cling onto you. I’m sorry that I cannot reveal my identity for now but I hope you trust . Since you lost your mory, I’m indebted to tell you this. The person you think is your friend, is a backstabber.]
