Family members were absent, leaving the house cold and desolate; Chen Xingyue probably returned to school as well.
Chen Shouyi headed towards the bedroom on the second floor.
...
On the floor.
The Shell Lady was licking the divine blood in the spoon, looking drowsy, her face flushed.
At this moment, her ears twitched, her body trembled slightly, and she hurriedly dragged the spoon like a mouse quickly to the dark underside of the bed, her peripheral vision warily glancing at the doorway, relaxing completely only after Chen Shouyi entered and closed the door.
She continued licking the divine blood.
"Where's the little girl gone?" Chen Shouyi feigned ignorance about the Shell Lady's presence under the bed.
Upon hearing his voice, the Shell Lady snorted quietly, not wanting to pay heed to the silly giant, and continued to lick the divine blood joyfully.
"Naughty little girl, hiding where?" Chen Shouyi teased further.
