“Qitong! Qitong, don’t go in—”
She hurriedly chased after the girl while carrying her cat.
However, before she managed to reach the girl, she saw her already entering Ji Ziming’s room without hesitation.
“…” D*mn it! She went in!
That annoying fellow won’t realize it, right?!
Pei Ge froze for a moment as she watched the young lady go deeper into the man’s room.
“Qitong, don’t touch the things in your cousin’s room!”
She ran after her and entered the room as well.
Except for that time she had helped him organize his things, she had not been in his room again.
Even the housekeeping of his room was skipped by her.
“He he! My cousin’s room matches his personality quite well,” the girl commented, gazing at the man’s room.
“This color scheme – things are either black or white; how boring…”
Pei Ge felt a sense of helplessness when she heard the girl’s words.
“Okay, Qitong, since you’ve seen your cousin’s room, let’s leave now,” she said.
I don’t want him to find out that we’ve been to his room while he’s away , she mumbled to herself.
“Just a little while more! This is my first time being in my demon cousin’s room!” The girl confided to her.
“Since you know that your cousin is a demon, let’s hurry up and leave. Otherwise, when your cousin finds out that we’ve been here, we’ll…”
The young lady shuddered when she heard her words.
“Come on; you’re his girlfriend! Won’t he let us off?”
“See; even I, his girlfriend, am not really allowed in his room. Besides, have you seen your cousin show anyone mercy?” She pouted, shrugging her shoulders.
“…” The girl was shocked by her words, a hint of panic flashing across her eyes.
“Ah! Let’s hurry up and leave, then!”
She fled her cousin’s room as fast as she could.
Perhaps, due to the ruckus or the racket she was making while leaving the room, the cat, which was lying obediently in Pei Ge’s arms, suddenly purred and leaped out.
“Meow!”
“Pudding!” She shouted in surprise when she saw the cat leap out of her arms.
Her shock turned into horror upon seeing where it had landed.
“Ahh!”
“Sister Pei Ge, what’s wrong?”
Qin Qitong, who had already left the room, returned when she heard her shout.
“Sister Pei Ge, are you…”
Before she could finish her question, her eyes widened as she spotted the scattered books on the desk before the bookshelf.
“Wha-What on Earth is going on?”
If her cousin found out, then the two of them were dead meat!
She shuddered.
As the person involved in this mishap, Pei Ge’s mood was not any better.
She stared at the fallen books in shock, thinking gloomily to herself that she did not know how these books were arranged. Does that annoying fellow remember these books’ order ?
“Sister Pei Ge, what do we do now?” The girl was frantic.
“Qitong, you go out first. I’ll clean this up.” Scooping the culprit off the floor, Pei Ge walked over to her.
“You bring Pudding out with you; I’ll stay here to clean this mess.”
Seeing that there was nothing much to clean up apart from the fallen books, the girl nodded and carried a certain fat cat, which was responsible for the mess, out of the man’s room.
Thus, Pei Ge was left in this spacious room by herself.
She sighed as she looked at the books scattered on the floor and started picking up the heavy English books one by one.
“This one should be the furthest in…
“This one should be further out…”
She placed the books back on the shelf based on her gut instinct.
As the scattered books were mostly back on the bookshelf, she heaved a sigh of relief.
“Last one!” She picked up the last book.
Just as she moved to put it back on the bookshelf, she saw a photo fall out of it.
Fwoosh! The picture dropping to the floor caught her attention.
“What is this?” She felt the start of a headache as she scrutinized the photo in curiously.
Oh, no! Oh, no! Which page of the book was this photo slotted in!
I guess bad things come in droves as well!
With a grimace, she picked up the photo from the floor.
“This will be the death of me…”
She muttered to herself, only to freeze when she caught sight of the person in the picture.
“…” She stared at it, her face frozen.
This is…
She had seen this photo before.
She pursed her lips tightly as she looked at the photo.
There was nothing special about it, except it was similar to that one shown to her by Pei Shishi last time!
In fact, this photo the man had slotted in his book and that picture her cousin had shown her were exactly the same!
In it, a happy-looking Ji Ziming was being intimate with a girl…
She had never doubted the authenticity of the photo, but… Anyway, she did not want to delve deeper.
She even reassured herself that everyone had an ex or two.
One photo did not really mean anything.
However, now that she had seen this photo wedged in one of the man’s books, she realized how wrong she had been.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth and took another look at the book in her hand.
It’s in Greek.
Although she was not well-versed in Greek, she had learned a few Greek words from him, so she could still tell that this book was a collection of Greek poems.
“Poem collection…”
He must really cherish this photo…
