Chapter 271 Messy Footprints
Shen Zicen seemed to understand something and hurriedly put down the bowl in her hand.
He needed to check if the coat he was wearing was still in his closet.
He trembled with excitement, his heart felt like it was about to leap out of his chest, and he could hear nothing but the pounding of his own heart.
In his haste, Shen Zicen tripped over the kitchen threshold, but he didn't even look back and went straight to the bedroom.
If the newlyweds in the courtyard saw Shen Zicen in such a disheveled and flustered state, they would doubt whether he was even real.
Normally, Shen Zicen was always dignified and serious, never like this before.
---
Niannian was keeping watch at the bedroom window when she saw Shen Zicen heading straight over the corner. She urged Qian Duoduo, who was changing clothes, to hurry up.
"hurry up!"
Qian Duoduo didn't know what Niannian was anxious about, but she couldn't help but speed up.
Niannian saw Shen Zicen getting closer and closer, and she turned her head to see Qian Duoduo, who had already changed her clothes.
Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately hung the light blue coat back in the wardrobe.
Just as she was about to close the wardrobe door, she subconsciously arranged the clothes according to her memory, even smoothing out the wrinkles on her outer garments to make sure there were no flaws.
After Nian Nian finished tidying up, she found that Qian Duoduo was still leisurely putting on his coat.
As she listened to the approaching footsteps outside the door, her gaze fell on the window behind her.
She pulled Qian Duoduo along and whispered to her, "Get out of here."
Qian Duoduo didn't hear the noise outside the door, nor did she know that Shen Zicen was coming to find her; the two of them were only separated by a door.
"Why do I……"
Before Qian Duoduo could finish speaking, Niannian covered her mouth.
"Shh-"
Qian Duoduo subconsciously shut her mouth and nodded at Niannian.
Standing at the bedroom door, Shen Zicen's heart was still unable to calm down.
He took a deep breath, thinking about seeing Qian Duoduo soon, and his hand trembled uncontrollably as he reached for the door.
Just as his hand was about to touch the door, he hesitated, a look of conflict and uncertainty flashing in his eyes.
What if, what if it's not Qian Duoduo?
He was afraid, afraid it was just his imagination, but the porridge he had just tasted was definitely...
Finally, Shen Zicen closed her eyes and pushed the door open abruptly.
He slowly opened his eyes; the room was empty. His heart sank.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
The moment Shen Zicen opened the door, Nian Nian jumped out of the window with Qian Duoduo.
Qian Duoduo then realized that she wasn't there to steal, so why was she jumping out of the window?
"I……"
Niannian was pressing her face against the wall, listening to the sounds inside, when suddenly Qian Duoduo made a sound.
Before Qian Duoduo could say anything, Niannian covered her mouth again.
Qian Duoduo wanted to pull Niannian's hand down and ask her some questions, but Niannian whispered something in her ear.
She nodded and followed behind Niannian.
When Niannian brought Qian Duoduo to the entrance of the escort agency, Qian Duoduo finally spoke.
"Alright, we've come this far."
Niannian ignored her and walked out of the security agency on her own. Qian Duoduo followed her out of the security agency.
However, when Qian Duoduo's feet were already outside, Niannian suddenly went back inside and instructed the doorman to close the door.
Qian Duoduo wasn't without a chance to get in, but she didn't force her way in.
Her daughter, I don't know who she took after, even said she wanted to find the mole and prevent her from speaking out.
Qian Duoduo looked at the tightly closed gates of the security escort agency and shook his head helplessly.
And then there's that poor mother, locked out by her own daughter.
Niannian watched as Qian Duoduo stopped knocking on the door, then patted non-existent dust off her hands.
"Hmph, I won't let you see Father A-Cen."
!!!
Niannian suddenly remembered that there was still porridge cooked by that woman in the kitchen.
No, she had to destroy the evidence and prevent A-Cen's father from finding out.
When Shen Zicen found that no one was in the bedroom, her first reaction was to open the wardrobe and check if the coat was still there.
When he saw the pale blue coat still lying there untouched, his heart sank completely.
He reached out and gently stroked the clothes.
Wait a minute! Why are my clothes a little warm?
Shen Zicen's pupils contracted, and she quickly checked the temperature of the other clothes; the light blue one was indeed warmer.
If you get close, you can smell a familiar scent, just like the one you just encountered in your dream.
He looked around but didn't see anyone else, though the garment had clearly just been put back.
Shen Zicen's gaze fell on the window; he remembered that the stool shouldn't be there.
That's where Niannian moved because she wasn't tall enough to climb onto the window without a stool.
Shen Zicen walked over and saw small footprints on the stool. He knew without guessing that they belonged to Niannian.
He opened the window and found that he could see the corner, so Nian Nian had been watching him from this window before he came in.
Where could she possibly hide?
Shen Zicen turned around and noticed a footprint on the wall by the window behind him, which was almost invisible unless you looked closely.
He squatted down and gently wiped it with his hand, managing to remove some of the dust, which was from when he had just stepped on it.
Niannian was afraid of being discovered by Shen Zicen, so she deliberately didn't use a stool when she climbed through the window.
When Shen Zicen opened the window, there was no one outside, only a few messy footprints on the muddy ground.
