As for the inner door, Xia Sisi still hadn’t found one she liked and planned to look around over the next couple of days when she had time.
That evening, she packed up the few belongings she already had.
Sitting among piles of miscellaneous items, Xia Sisi looked around the old house she was about to leave, feeling deeply reluctant to part with it.
This was the little space her parents had left behind for her.
If it truly weren’t unsuitable for surviving the apocalypse, Xia Sisi would never have left this place.
Among the things she packed were many little items that would only become burdens in the apocalypse.
For example, the diary she kept in elementary school.
A large butterfly hair clip.
The photo albums her parents had left her.
The autograph book filled with messages from classmates when she graduated.
…
These things couldn’t be eaten or drunk.
But to Xia Sisi, they were her life and memories.
In her previous life, she hadn’t even had the time to take these little things with her. In the end, she could only abandon this house.
The only thing she had stuffed into her pocket back then was a single family photo.
Now that she had the time to sort through these belongings, she felt incredibly happy.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Sisi placed all the packed items into the small room inside her spatial storage.
Even though the room was tiny, she still tried her best to arrange everything neatly, even deliberately copying the layout of this house.
If she ever had the chance in the future, she would recreate this home exactly as she remembered it.
As Xia Sisi stared absentmindedly at the family photo that had accompanied her for years in her previous life, Dahei suddenly shoved his big head toward her, startling her.
His pitch-black eyes stared tightly at her, carrying a trace of concern.
Only then did Xia Sisi realize that tears had already streamed down her face.
“Are you worried about me? I’m fine.”
Her voice hoarse, Xia Sisi gently stroked Dahei’s big head.
This big dog was just too adorable.
And this was the first time in days that he had buried his head into Xia Sisi’s arms.
Did this mean Dahei was gradually growing more and more attached to her?
The thought filled Xia Sisi with delight, and she reached out, wanting to hug him tighter.
But unfortunately, once Dahei saw that Xia Sisi was fine, he immediately darted out of her arms with a whoosh.
Leaving behind only a big black backside.
Xia Sisi sighed helplessly. This child was a little tsundere after all.
Before going to sleep, Xia Sisi unexpectedly received another text from Lin Yi.
This time, Lin Yi was still just as disgusting, sending a bunch of nauseating messages about reminiscing over the past and fantasizing about the future together.
Thinking about how Lin Yi was definitely together with Hao Rou at that very moment made Xia Sisi feel sick to her stomach.
What kind of twisted hobby was this, pestering her again and again at moments like this?
The more Xia Sisi thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt she couldn’t let this cheating couple off so easily.
With that thought, she looked at the sentimental messages on her phone and curled her lips into a faint smile.
“Brother Lin Yi, after thinking about what I said to you that day, I realize I may have gone too far. I haven’t been eating or sleeping well these past few days. Can you come sleep with me? Let’s have a proper talk.”
After sending the message, there was no reply from the other side for a long time.
The corners of Xia Sisi’s lips slowly lifted upward as she thought to herself—
Who says she couldn’t act like a scheming green tea girl too?
Right now, Lin Yi and Hao Rou were probably fighting like crazy.
Or perhaps Hao Rou was pretending to be magnanimous and pitiful while manipulating Lin Yi.
But Xia Sisi knew Lin Yi’s personality well.
Even if he liked Hao Rou, even if he had no feelings for Xia Sisi at all, there was no way he could let go of such a valuable “meal ticket.”
Now that Xia Sisi had said something like this and extended an olive branch, Lin Yi would definitely want to grab onto it no matter what.
But…
It seemed Hao Rou’s charm really was something.
Even after ten minutes, there was still no response from him.
Xia Sisi yawned, feeling sleepy, thinking she should go to bed early.
So she sent another text.
“Brother Lin Yi, I know my request is a little abrupt. But we’ve been dating for so long already—it’s about time we took that step. Tonight, I’m forcing myself to be brave. I’ll be waiting for you at the XX Grand Hotel on XX Road. Just tell the front desk you’re going to Room 1203.”
After sending that, Xia Sisi directly turned off her phone and went to sleep.
That night, she truly had sweet dreams all through the night.
As for the XX Grand Hotel on XX Road, Room 1203—Xia Sisi hadn’t made it up at random.
In her previous life, she had once encountered a rich second-generation heir who liked throwing money around to crush people.
This rich second-generation heir supposedly kept a long-term private suite at the XX Grand Hotel, Room 1203.
Tonight, Xia Sisi simply wanted Lin Yi to try his luck there. If he ended up crashing headfirst into trouble, she would probably laugh herself awake from happiness.
The next morning, Xia Sisi turned her phone back on.
She discovered dozens of missed call notifications and more than ten text messages.
Interestingly, some were from Lin Yi, and some were from Hao Rou.
With great interest, Xia Sisi opened her messages.
She checked Lin Yi’s texts first.
At the beginning was a whole string of messages:
“Where are you? I’m at the hotel. Why can’t I reach you?”
Several similar messages followed one after another.
Then came messages like:
“I’m at Room 1203. Why aren’t you opening the door?”
Judging from the timestamps, the next message came over twenty minutes later.
“Xia Sisi, what the hell do you mean by this? Why is there a man inside? Where are you? Say something! I got beaten up!”
After that came a bunch of insults directed at her.
It was obvious Lin Yi had truly panicked.
And it was also obvious he had genuinely gotten beaten up.
At this, Xia Sisi raised an eyebrow, her mood becoming extremely pleasant.
Exiting Lin Yi’s chat history, Xia Sisi opened Hao Rou’s messages.
The atmosphere there was completely different.
At first, Hao Rou pretended to be deeply concerned, saying that Lin Yi had texted her saying Xia Sisi wanted to give her first time to him, and asking whether Xia Sisi had truly thought things through.
“Sisi, a woman’s first time is the most important thing. You have to think carefully. Lin Yi told me you asked him to go to a hotel with you… Sisi, you’re not that kind of girl. What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Reading that, Xia Sisi almost threw up.
Pah!
What fake sympathy—like a cat crying over a dead mouse.
After that, Hao Rou kept sending messages under the guise of concern, but in reality she was trying to persuade Xia Sisi to change her mind and not do anything with Lin Yi.
Later on, from Hao Rou’s texts, it was clear she had even gone to the hotel herself.
But she hadn’t gained anything from it either. Instead, she ended up cursing Xia Sisi together with Lin Yi, questioning what Xia Sisi’s intentions were and indignantly defending Lin Yi.
“It’s such a shame I didn’t get to watch that whole show in person.”
Xia Sisi sighed regretfully.
Thinking that the two of them had probably been badly frightened the night before and wouldn’t get up too early today, Xia Sisi decided to ignore them for now and focus on her own matters first.
