Chapter 134 - House tour (2/2)

Even after his mother woke up and he got helped, he still preferred the ground. It was only after a while that he started sleeping on a bed. However, he still had it custom made to be hard as the floor. Even though such a hard bed brought him bad memories, it help reminded him of all the things he went through.

Lena could feel that Kris' mind was on something else. He went silent for a long time. She cleared her throat.

”Is this it? I think I am going to go back now… it's past dinnertime for me.”

Lena walked out of the bedroom.

”Wait. There is still one more area.”

Lena turned back at look at Kris. He smiled. He turned around and bent down his legs so Lena can hop on again. She laughed but happily climb onto his back. Kris carried her to a sliding door. He opened it and it revealed a staircase. He climbed up the stairs.

”Am I heavy?”

”No.”

He reached the top and Lena saw where they were. They were at the rooftop. Kris opened the door and Lena felt the cool night breeze. It was not dark yet but it will be in an hour or so.

”It's so pretty! I am so jealous of you.” She hopped down Kris' back. She headed straight to the tall railings on the rooftop and stared out to the vast city. It was even more pretty than when she was in the elevator.

”Can we trade houses? It's not like you need any of this.”

”You won't be able to afford this.”

”Pfft.” Lena turned around to see the outdoor pool and a smaller enclosed area with a top covering. It must be a hot tub. She walked over and sat on the lounge chair and stared at the sky. Being on top of this place and staring into the night sky, it reminded her of home. Home, as in her original home.

Shen Qian lived in an apartment complex with many other people but the rooftop was opened to everyone. It was one of her best places to hang out with her friends.

She'll need to keep charging Kris so she can afford something like this in the future. She wanted her own penthouse. If this was her place, she would have some nice flowers up here. Lots of more tables and chairs so she can always hang out here.

She closed her eyes. In the moment of silence, she heard her stomach growl. She opened her eyes but realize that it was not coming from hers, but Kris'.

”Are you hungry?” She asked him.

Kris turned his head sideways a bit. He did not have lunch so he was hungry. He had skipped many meals before though, why did his stomach growl now.

Lena gasped. ”Let's have a rooftop dinner!”
