Before Shen Tang arrived at Jia Lan's place, she knocked on the door and called out several times, but heard no response.
Could he not be home?
She turned the doorknob, but it was locked from inside.
Even if Jia Lan didn't want to see her, he wouldn't outright ignore her. Given the sarcastic nature of that merman, he would at least come out to mock her a bit.
Feeling uneasy all of a sudden, Shen Tang disregarded formality and used her Female Master authority to open the door with a facial scan.
As soon as she entered the living room, Shen Tang saw a brown-haired boy collapsed on the floor not far away, with an alarming wound on his wrist still oozing blood. The blood trailed all the way from the bathroom, where the water faucet had been left open, and the water was about to inundate the living room floor.
Damn.
Shen Tang's pupils contracted; she almost thought the boy was trying to kill himself.
