Ji Ting felt humiliated being ridiculed by a kid six years younger than her, even if he was the villain in the future. With her head protruding forward she was about to retort, but Shen Tuchuan had already turned around and started to slowly head upstairs; so she could only suppress her anger and follow him.

"How many floors?"

"Fourth floor, room number four hundred and two." Ji Ting replied dully from the back.

Shen Tuchuan walked slowly up the stairs. His walking stick was a new model of Ji Tingchao. It was very light and much easier to use than the one he had previously picked up, so he was able to walk at the same pace as a normal person. Arriving on the fourth floor, he stood quietly by the wall, waiting for Ji Ting to unlock the door.

Ji Ting eyed him and silently turned the door handle, stepping in first to pull the curtains open. As soon as Shen Tuchuan entered the house, he smelled a faint lemon scent, leaving him dazed for a moment. Looking at the simple and warm decor in the living room along with the traces of life everywhere, he felt somewhat unfamiliar and strange.

Was this the feeling of home?

"This will be your room." Ji Ting stood at the entrance of the second bedroom and waved at him, her eyes smiling into a curved shape. " It will only take a bit of cleaning and then you'll be able to sleep here. There is a small bed, it's my old bed. If you think it's too small, then we'll buy another one."

Shen Tuchuan looked at her for a moment and then walked towards her on crutches. The house was not big, the second bedroom was even smaller, but there was a desk, bed, and a closet; better than the place he had rented. Shen Tuchuan was very satisfied with this place, but upon seeing Ji Ting's smiling eyes, the young man's awkwardness prevented him from expressing his true thoughts.

"......Eh, it's average, the room is too small." He paused a moment after speaking, feeling a little regret in his heart; afraid that Ji Ting would be offended and not let him stay. Even though their agreement was only a momentary thing, after seeing the environment here, he was now reluctant to leave.

Fortunately, Ji Ting understood his awkwardness and stood on her toes to ruffle his hair. Before he could refuse, she went to the cabinet, took the bed quilt out, and went to the balcony to air the quilt. Shen Tuchuan slightly relaxed his shoulders, slowly sitting down on the bed and examining the house where he was going to live for a while. The more he looked, the more satisfied he was.

After Ji Ting spread the quilt, she turned around and saw his relaxed expression. She could not help but raise the corners of her lips. How much an orphaned child would want to have a family, she knew better than anyone else. Giving Shen Tuchuan a home would bring him more happiness than giving him power and money.

......I really want to see the birthmark on his hip bones. Did the color fade any?

Shen Tuchuan was relaxing, before he noticed that someone was staring at him and immediately looked back sharply. Ji Ting was startled by the sudden stare, and thinking that she had been caught staring, guiltily slinked back towards the balcony like a cat. Shen Tuchuan watched at her sneaky actions and slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

This woman probably liked him a lot.

The summer sun was very strong so the quilt quickly warmed up. Ji Ting took the quilt and made the bed. The room instantly had a more human touch to it.

"Sleep for a while, and we can eat after waking up." As soon as Ji Ting's voice fell, she couldn't help but yawn.

Shen Tuchuan hummed and also felt sleepy.

Ji Ting already didn't have any face left in front of him so she didn't care much about it. Rubbing her eyes, she went out and closed the door behind her. She went back to her own bedroom and fell directly on her soft bed with a comfortable sigh. The bed at home was really way more comfortable than the bed at the hospital.
