Marry Me Quick

Chapter 626

Chapter 626 It Wasn’t So Simple

Ziyue and Ke changed before they left together.

Ziyue still remembered the address. Since Ke had said she wanted to send Ziyue halfway, Ziyue looked up the route and found an address in the middle where Ke let her off.

She switched cabs twice or thrice before arriving at the note's address.

It was a slightly old residential area with an intense marketplace atmosphere.

Because the district wasn't significantly developed, the people there rarely saw unfamiliar faces. As Ziyue walked on the street with foreign features, it attracted the attention of many.

Ziyue was on alert and wore the hat she had prepared before she arrived at the house.

The house was slightly old, but she could tell it had been maintained well. It felt archaic yet comforting.

The door was half-open, and no one was at the door. When Ziyue looked in through the cracks of the doors, she didn't see anyone.

She walked around to the back of the house and found a side door.

She looked around and only went in when she confirmed no one was around.

She walked through the door quietly and arrived in the backyard after walking through a short corridor.

Although it was a backyard, the area was small.

Ziyue looked around. The house was quiet and had no noise at all. She furrowed her brows slightly and slowly walked in as she leaned against the wall.

Before coming, she had imagined if Enyang was possibly here.

But since Shichu could get someone to write Ziyue the address and wanted her to come, she intuitively felt that he must have been in a safe environment.

She had an intuition that Shichu wouldn't harm her no matter what.

She walked to the lounge, and everything was still silent.

At that moment, voices came from upstairs. They were speaking a foreign language.

Ziyue backed away along the wall before she found a corner and hid.

A young man and woman were talking, and they seemed to be a couple from their mannerisms.

They walked to the door as they talked.

Ziyue only came out when they were at the door. After they left, Ziyue looked upstairs and became less confident.

It had been over a week since Shichu had given her the note through other people. She was unsure if he was still there.

But since she was already here, she had to look around.

Thinking about that, she raised her feet and walked up the stairs.

There were three levels to the house, along with an attic.

The second and third floors were quiet, so Ziyue arrived at the loft.

The room in the attic looked small, and the door was closed with a lock on it.

Ziyue reached out and hesitated momentarily before removing the lock, but she didn't dare to open the door at once.

She leaned forward slightly and put her ear against the door carefully, wanting to hear movement inside.

She listened with rapt attention. It seemed like… there was some movement inside…

'Creak'

Someone suddenly opened the door from the inside, and Ziyue had an unsteady center of gravity, so she fell inside head first.

At that moment, she was so nervous that her heart almost leaped out of her chest.

She didn't fall on the floor but into a warm embrace.

Her body stiffened as she tried to get up when she heard a familiar voice above her head.

"It's me."

Ziyue was suddenly startled. She raised her head, astonished, to look at the person speaking.

"Shi… It's you!" She almost called out the once familiar name.

In front of her was none other than Lu Shichu.

The two stood at the door and were silent.

It had been a long time since what happened at the villa. When Ziyue looked at the thin Shichu before her, it seemed like it had happened a lifetime ago.

He was really still alive.

After a long time, Shichu spoke first. "Come in. Don't stand at the door."

He stepped aside, and Ziyue's field of vision widened. She saw the room's display.

The room was tiny and looked simple because there wasn't much inside. At this time, she smelled medicinal fumes.

As she walked in, Shichu shut the door behind her.

The room had a simple layout. A bed, desk, and small bookshelf. There were also a few boxes of mineral water.

Shichu turned and took a bottle of mineral water. He opened it before he handed it to her.

He had a smile on his face, along with his usual gentle expression. His voice was slightly apologetic. "I only have this. If you would like something else, there's a bar on the second floor. They should have left, so I could make you a glass of juice."

Ziyue shook her head and pursed the corners of her mouth. She took the mineral water from him and had a sip. "This is good."

After that, she turned her head to the side.
