Chapter 153 The door to the guesthouse is locked
Li Mo'er would occasionally talk in her sleep at night, and Chu Xiaohuan would patiently comfort her each time.
From Li Mo'er's few words, Chu Xiaohuan could only guess that she was arguing with him, but he couldn't guess the reason.
Or perhaps it's because it's so outrageous that people selectively assume she's talking nonsense.
Li Mo'er had a recurring dream all night, dreaming of the original owner of the body, who was complaining about why she had taken over her body.
She was forced into a small corner and dared not move. The original owner was very strong, and she had tried to argue back.
Every time she was about to be eliminated by the original owner, someone would come and drive her away.
Chu Xiaohuan didn't dare close his eyes until the middle of the night because Li Mo'er was talking nonsense more and more frequently, and even had difficulty breathing several times.
He only closed his eyes to rest when he could faintly hear the crowing of roosters outside and hear Li Mo'er's steady breathing.
Shen Zicen did not sleep peacefully that night at General Chu's mansion; he would be startled awake in his sleep.
Although Wang Cheng came to tell him that Mo'er was inspecting the cellar, it didn't mean she wouldn't come back at night.
But judging from Wang Cheng's attitude during the day, Mo'er must be very busy, which is why she won't be coming back tonight.
If he were to take the initiative to ask Wang Cheng again, Wang Cheng would also know that Li Mo'er and Shen Zicen were trapped in the cellar.
To avoid causing trouble for Li Mo'er, Shen Zicen unusually remained quiet this time and did not go to find Li Mo'er.
Firstly, it was really inconvenient for him to go out; secondly, he was afraid that if he kept pushing Mo'er too hard, she would dislike him.
Inside the cellar, a sliver of light shone into a corner. Li Mo'er opened her eyes and looked around blankly.
Last night's dream was too real, as if she had really fought with the original owner of the body all night.
Actually, to be precise, it wasn't really a struggle; she was just trying to save her life. After all, she didn't know how to fight for it; she was simply focused on preventing the original owner from killing her.
She was about to gently raise her hand to rub her head when she felt the weight on her shoulder. Turning her head slightly, she saw Chu Xiaohuan fast asleep on her shoulder.
She didn't know how the two of them ended up sitting together; judging from their positions, it seemed that Chu Xiaohuan had come to find her on his own initiative.
She was still wearing his coat, and dared not move, afraid of waking Chu Xiaohuan.
Feeling a little dizzy, she looked up at the ceiling, hoping someone would come in and discover their presence.
"Ah-"
Li Mo'er couldn't help but sneeze, her shoulders trembling, which startled Chu Xiaohuan awake.
The first thing he did upon waking was to place his hand on Li Mo'er's forehead to check if she was still feverish.
Seeing Chu Xiaohuan's actions, Li Mo'er took a slight step back, as if trying to avoid him.
Chu Xiaohuan saw it, paused, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he still placed his hand on her forehead.
Although the temperature isn't as high anymore, it's still a bit hot.
He stood up, wanting to stretch his legs so he could go out later.
But as soon as he stood up, his legs were numb from sitting all night, and he stumbled.
Li Mo'er quickly helped Chu Xiaohuan up, and only let go of him after he had regained his balance.
When are we...when are they coming?
Li Mo'er's voice was a little hoarse. She hadn't drunk any water for a day and a night, and her mind was still a bit foggy. She didn't know what to ask.
"About half an hour later."
They should have arrived in about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Chu Xiaohuan deliberately said more, just in case they didn't arrive on time and Li Mo'er would be disappointed.
At that time, she would definitely feel even more depressed.
In fact, they should have gone back to work at Yingkelou long ago.
However, just as Wang Cheng turned to leave yesterday, Boss Fu, who was in charge of building the Yingkelou, saw him leave.
Curious, she walked over and discovered that the door to the guesthouse was not locked at all.
She assumed that Manager Wang had forgotten to lock the door when he left, so she locked it with a "click."
