The Heir is Here: Quiet Down, School Prince! - Chapter 526

Chapter 526

“What’s wrong?” Sheng Yize frowned, thinking she wasn’t feeling well .

An Xiaxia shook her head and forced a smile . “It’s nothing… Where are we staying?”

Sheng Yize rubbed her hair . “It’s just around the corner . Let’s walk there . ”

It was such a tiny place that it only took them less than twenty minutes to reach their destination .

A small white villa was enclosed with a fence . The yard was filled with plants and green vines reached the window on the second floor . It looked cozy and peaceful .

An Xiaxia bit her lip, fighting back her astonishment .

It couldn’t be… It must be her illness . Her memories were still confused .

Or how could she recognize this small town thousands of miles away from her hometown? She even remembered this building…

Sheng Yize led her in . He had had the rooms cleaned beforehand, and they were now all very tidy . The tables were covered in floral cloth and there were white gardenias in vases, which filled the room with a light fragrance .

“We’ll be the only two here . No one will bother us,” Sheng Yize explained, then put the bags away in the bedroom . Seeing the stupefied look on An Xiaxia’s face, he felt helpless and aggrieved . “You look so down . Are you hungry? Tired?”

An Xiaxia tried her best to suppress the unpleasant feeling . She rubbed her stomach . “I think I’m a little hungry…”

“I’ll go make us some lunch . Go relax — watch TV or take a walk outside, but don’t go too far!” He pecked her cheek affectionately, but An Xiaxia stumbled back gingerly, which hurt Sheng Yize a little .

An Xiaxia realized what she had done . She bit her lip and said timidly, “I’m sorry…”

“Don’t worry . We’ll take it slow if you still feel uncomfortable,” Sheng Yize said mildly, so good-natured that it didn’t sound like him .

He rolled up his sleeves and busied himself with the cooking . An Xiaxia watched some TV, got bored, then wandered out into the garden .

There were quite a few types of flowers she didn’t recognize . When she moved closer to have a look, someone greeted her enthusiastically from next door . “Why, is it Miss Sheng?”

Huh? An Xiaxia looked up and saw a middle-aged woman . She had a food basket on her arm and spoke with an accent .

An Xiaxia smiled shyly . “Hello… I’m not Miss Sheng . ”

“Oh… You’re Young Master Sheng’s friend, then . I was the one who tidied up the rooms you’re staying in!” The woman chortled heartily and even took some vegetables out of her basket to stuff into An Xiaxia’s hands .

An Xiaxia tried to decline, but failed . She ended up accepting the gift . When her gaze landed on a neighboring house with white bricks and black tiles, her stomach lurched . She then asked hesitantly, “Is anyone… still living there now?”

“Oh, you mean Grandma Song’s house?” The woman pondered for a moment, then smacked her lips . “It’s been deserted for years . Such a sad story . A grandma used to live here and her granddaughter fell into the river and drowned, but she wouldn’t believe it no matter what . She would wait at the crossroads with a walking stick for her granddaughter to return . We all told her that it was never going to happen, but she simply wouldn’t listen . It must have gone on for years… That tottering tiny old lady was such a sad picture…”

An Xiaxia put her hand over her heart . “Where is she now…”

“What do you think? She passed away . Given her old age and what happened to her granddaughter, she fell ill and didn’t survive…” The woman sighed . “That granddaughter was a poor little thing as well . She didn’t have a proper name back then and everyone just called her ‘Songsong . ’ She was such an adorable chubby kid…”

An Xiaxia couldn’t take it anymore . As the woman cried out in surprise, An Xiaxia dropped to the ground .
