Chapter 619 - Hide (1/2)

Outside the walls of the Bai family yard, Xia Ruoxin carefully walked to a corner and bent down. She pushed away the grass, and just as she had expected, she cleared the way to a small hole that could fit a person. This hole was found by her and Rainy when they were playing last time. She was afraid that someone had found the hole, but by the looks of it, she was in luck.

She crawled through the hole and into the yard. Her heart was beating wildly as if it was going to jump out of her chest.

She had never done such a thing in her entire life. She had always been upright, but now, she was exactly like a thief.

She had lived in this Bai family for a few months; even though she did not know every corner of the house at the back of her hand, there were certain things that she still knew. One—for example—is that everyone in the Bai family would go to the nearby church for service today, and when they return, the sun would have already set. She surveyed her surroundings carefully before running forward. This Bai family household was not considered big, and there were not many people. The houses were small, and the most important thing was… they did not own dogs because Bai Luoyin was allergic to that kind of furry animals.

Therefore, the Bai family did not own any dogs or cats.

After opening the door, Xia Ruoxin walked in. This was Gao Yi's room, and based on Bai Luoyin's character—after they had gotten married, this would definitely be their bridal room. Of course, she was not wrong. Bai Luoyin had a possessive obsession over Gao Yi. She would never have given up on Gao Yi's person or the room he had lived in before.

On the wall, there was a large portrait of a wedding photo: it was Bai Luoyin and Gao Yi's. The man was handsome and gentlemanly while the girl was elegant and cute. Based on their looks alone, they did look like they were a couple made from heaven, even childhood lovers.

Involuntarily, Xia Ruoxin felt a pang in her heart. This man once said he would marry her and live with her for the rest of his life, but in the end, he broke his promise. Now, another woman was standing next to him. It was no longer her, and yet she did not even have the right to blame him.

She started flipping the things randomly. If Gao Yi was really taking drugs, there must be evidence here. The safest place to hide it would be in his own bedroom.

Just that, she searched for so long; but she still could not find it until she touched a drawer. However, the drawer was locked.

She did not give up and tried several times… unless she destroyed the cupboard. If not, she could only look at it helplessly.

Her gut feeling told her that whatever she was looking for would be inside.

Suddenly, a car honk sound came from the outside; and Xia Ruoxin stood up. She carefully pulled open the curtain and peeked outside; someone was coming back.

In her nervous state, she broke into a cold sweat.

What should she do? It was too late to get out of the room.

She turned back and examined the room, and her gaze finally stopped at the closed fireplace at the corner of the room.

She thought for a moment.

She took the chance before anyone else came in and ran to the fireplace and opened it. The fireplace was cleaned nicely and was just nice big enough to fit her. This fireplace was empty in the middle and was found by her and Rainy when they were playing hide and seek. As winter was already over, there was no use of the fireplace anymore so the inside of it was spick and span; and generally, no one would even look over.

Carefully, she squeezed her body into the fireplace and closed the door. Thankfully, it was big enough for her, and it was not too uncomfortable as well. She could breathe through the vent and could even see the outside clearly from a small gap in the fireplace.

At first, it was nerve-racking for her, waiting for the people outside to come in. However, after a long time, no one came in; and the sky was already getting dark outside. Xia Ruoxin started to relax, and the next time she opened her eyes, she shocked herself. She actually fell asleep.
