Chapter 472 He Is Not Here
Chapter 472 He Is Not Here
Shi Nuan woke up again, and it was already dark outside.
She moved her body slightly and found it very painful.
With a trembling gaze, she looked at herself and found she had changed into a set of pajamas, properly dressed.
Her hair had traces of dampness, indicating she had also been bathed.
Was it Song Yansheng who bathed her?
Thinking of Song Yansheng, her eyes darkened.
Her lower body was still faintly aching, and she admitted that what Song Yansheng did at noon was indeed not gentle.
Yet she couldn’t blame Song Yansheng. No matter how he treated her, she had no reason to blame him.
She reached out and turned on the bedside lamp, the room was empty, without Song Yansheng, without anyone.
She sighed and planned to get out of bed when a knock on the door came just then.
Shi Nuan’s heart skipped a beat, followed by Aunt Hui’s voice from outside: "Lady, you’re awake?"
Shi Nuan pressed her lips and said: "I’m awake, you... you can come in!"
Aunt Hui stepped in, followed by a maid holding a tray, which, unsurprisingly, should be dinner.
Shi Nuan raised her eyes to look at the time on the wall clock, it was already eight in the evening!
Aunt Hui said, "Lady, I made some porridge for you. Would you like to eat a bit?"
No matter what, life had to go on, and indeed, Shi Nuan was hungry.
She nodded and said, "Just leave it, I can handle it myself!"
Aunt Hui didn’t insist, and had the maid put it down, then left with the maid.
Shi Nuan got out of bed to eat the porridge, wondering if it was arranged by Song Yansheng to be sent in.
When porridge was sent at noon, he came to see her himself, but now, he didn’t come, probably because he was really angry.
Shi Nuan finished the porridge, and although her body was still very tired, she had at least gained some strength.
She didn’t call Aunt Hui and took the tray down herself.
At the staircase, Aunt Hui was startled to see her, quickly approached: "Lady, why did you come out? Just leave it aside after eating, I’ll go up and pick it up later!"
Shi Nuan smiled awkwardly and said, "It’s fine, I’ve slept all day and night, I also want to... take a stroll!"
So, Aunt Hui didn’t say more.
Shi Nuan glanced at the living room in surprise. It was cleaned spotless, without any sign of people.
And just now, coming out from the bedroom, she glanced at the study direction, the lights there were off.
Song Yansheng wasn’t in the study.
He was not downstairs either now, could he be on the third floor?
Shi Nuan handed the tray to Aunt Hui and said, "I’m going for a walk in the yard!"
Aunt Hui quickly said, "Lady, even though it’s June, the wind is still quite strong at night. Your body is weak, it’s better not to go out!"
But Shi Nuan only smiled and shook her head: "I’m just going out for some air, it doesn’t matter!"
Shi Nuan insisted, so Aunt Hui couldn’t stop her and had to agree, telling Shi Nuan to go and come back soon.
Shi Nuan agreed with a hum and went out.
She was wearing pajamas, a new set, a bit loose, and since Shi Nuan was thin, it made her appear even more delicate.
It made people feel a bit of sympathy for her.
Aunt Hui sighed and called a servant over, instructing her to follow Shi Nuan from a distance, just in case she fainted on the way!
Shi Nuan stepped outside, and although it was nighttime, the lights of the Song Mansion were very bright.
It was quiet all around, with only the occasional chirps of insects, a soft whisper that somehow added a touch of tenderness to her heart.
At least, it lessened the sense of solitude considerably.
After walking a distance, she turned her head to look in the direction of the main building’s third floor.
Her eyes instantly dimmed because over there, it was utterly dark!
He wasn’t there!
