After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 245 - 246: Wait for Me to Find You (10)

After returning home, Lou Xi realized that Lou Jian Country and the others were not there. She searched every corner of the house but couldn’t find them.

Finally, after washing up and changing clothes, Lou Xi saw Qin Mobai standing in her room, looking at something.

It was the first time a guy had entered her room. Being stared at by Qin Mobai like this, Lou Xi felt a bit embarrassed.

"Oh, Young Master Qin, don’t look, the room’s a mess." Lou Xi wanted to go over and cover Qin Mobai’s eyes, but he was too tall. She had to stand on her tiptoes to barely reach them.

But standing on tiptoes was tiring, and she couldn’t keep it up for long, so Lou Xi conceded defeat.

Qin Mobai, however, was carefully observing the place where Lou Xi had once lived.

The room was not large. This was the first time Qin Mobai had seen such a small room, with a bed, a desk, and a simple wardrobe. Besides that, there were many other miscellaneous items strewn about, not quite what you’d expect from a girl’s room.

He had seen his cousin’s room, all in pink tones, a dressing table with lots of cosmetics, a walk-in closet full of clothes, some with the tags still on, and a cabinet full of bags...

In comparison, Lou Xi’s room seemed particularly simple.

"You’ve always lived here?" Qin Mobai asked, his brows slightly furrowed.

How did Lou Xi survive those years he was away?

Thinking about Qin Mobai looking at her somewhat basic room, Lou Xi felt a bit... exposed.

A young master like him probably wouldn’t understand a life like hers.

"Young Master Qin, it seems both Mom and Dad aren’t home. Have you had breakfast? Let me take you to try some breakfast from my hometown!" Lou Xi tried to steer away from the topic, speaking in a casual tone. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Qin Mobai knew what Lou Xi was thinking and went along with her in moving past the topic.

He stepped closer to Lou Xi, using his tall body to block her light, enveloping her in his shadow.

"Mm, I’m hungry." When Qin Mobai said this, his voice was particularly low, reminiscent of how it was just outside the door earlier.

Lou Xi had just washed up; her face still had water droplets, and her rosy cheeks made one want to reach out and touch them.

Not thinking too much about it, she said, "If you’re hungry, I’ll take you to eat..."

What if Lou Jian Country and the others suddenly came back? Or what if the door suddenly opened and the bodyguards outside saw them?

"...Young Master Qin." Lou Xi rested her head against Qin Mobai’s chest, unable to lift it, "There are people..."

There were indeed people outside.

"When we meet your parents later, come back with me, hmm?"

How could Lou Xi possibly think for herself anymore?
