Only a few months had passed since Meng Renshu's coming-of-age party, but Li Caiyi wasn't ready to enter this house again. It was more like a mansion than a house due to how big it was.

Li Caiyi looked up at the building in front of her with a distant gaze. Whenever she stood near this place, a sense of melancholy hit her.

Qin Xiangjun was a sophisticated lady with a packed schedule. Whenever she had something to say to Li Caiyi, she would ask her to come instead of visiting her.

Being a filial daughter-in-law, Li Caiyi had never questioned her actions before. After a while, she realized that her mother-in-law didn't visit her because she didn't have time, but instead because Li Caiyi was not that important for her to seek her directly.

"Why are you just standing there? Let's go in."

Li Junjie's voice interrupted her line of thought. Li Caiyi brushed her thoughts aside before she walked over to her siblings. Before they could make their appearance known, the door was opened as if it was already expecting their arrival.

"Welcome. We have been waiting for you." A middle-aged woman wearing a maid outfit bowed her head slightly towards them. Her manner was immaculate, but the devoid of warmth in her face made her look rigid and hard to approach.

Behind her, there were a few other maids lined up neatly. They all had their heads looking at the floor.

It was like a scene from a drama where the Young Masters and Young Miss were greeted by their servants.

Even though the Li family's house barely had any servants—except for those who occasionally came to clean the house—since they used to go to Meng's house in the past, they were accustomed to this treatment.

Li Caiyi recognized the older woman as the head maid of Meng's household, Sun Yan. She had been working there for as long as she could remember.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Sun and everyone! We are here to visit Brother Renshu."

As usual, Li Chunhua would be the first one to break the ice. Her bright and cheerful personality could always dispel the awkwardness in the air.

"Yes, we have heard your business here from the security. The Young Master has just woken up, and we have informed him about this. He is probably waiting in his room right now."

Li Junjie gave the medicinal tea and a basket of fruit they bought before coming to Sun Yan before shifting his glance to Li Caiyi. "You go upstairs first and talk to him."

The latter blinked her eyes a few times in disbelief before she pointed her finger to herself, "You mean, by myself?"

"Yeah, you go first, and we will follow shortly after."

"But why?"

"Yeah, why?" Li Chunhua chimed in. Disapproval was written all over her face.

Li Junjie didn't answer immediately. He grabbed Li Chunhua's shoulder and pushed her to the opposite direction of the stairs heading towards Meng Renshu's room.

"Xiaohua and I will take a walk around the garden first. Don't make Renshu wait, understand?"

"Ah? Wait a minute, Brother Jie!" Li Caiyi was half-shouting while trying to chase after them, but Sun Yan blocked her way.

"Miss Caiyi, the Young Master has been waiting. He still needs to rest, so I implore you to efficiently make use of the time."

Her tone was cold and professional; Li Ciayi couldn't say anything back against that.

Li Chunhua struggled while protesting, but her effort was all for naught faced with Li Junjie's expressionless face. She looked back helplessly toward Li Caiyi before reluctantly letting Li Junjie lead her outside.

"Please, this way," Sun Yan wasted no time urging Li Caiyi to follow her.

From how the timing was perfectly set, she couldn't help but suspect that Li Junjie, Meng Renshu, and Sun Yan had planned this beforehand.

'But why would he avoid me if he wanted to meet me alone in the end? It makes no sense,' Li Caiyi thought inwardly.

Although Sun Yan was walking in front of her, Li Caiyi knew well where his room was by heart. It was on the second floor on the right wing. The first room from the end of the hallway was Meng Renshu's room.

He once said he liked that room because it got plenty of sunlight and he could see the garden clearly from the window.

'They still use the old furniture and interior design. According to this timeline, these are all still brand-new, though.'

Sun Yan's step halted in front of a familiar-looking door. "Young Master is inside. Please refrain from speaking too loudly inside since he is still pretty weak."

"I understand."

"Then, I shall take my leave first, Miss Caiyi. Take your time," Sun Yan bowed again respectfully before she left.

Li Caiyi stared at the wooden door in front of her with a complicated gaze. She took a deep breath before knocking on the door.

"Come in."

There was a hoarse and weak voice coming from the inside. Li Caiyi steadied her heartbeat before resolutely pushing the door open.

Meng Renshu's room was spacious, with a king-sized bed in the middle of the room. There was a full-body mirror placed a few steps beside it. On the other side of the bed, there was a huge window which height was almost double of Li Caiyi, and it showed the view of the garden perfectly.

The floor was covered with a soft-looking white rug. Across the door leading to the bathroom on the side, there was a long couch that could be used as the bed. A glass door on the other side of the room leading to the balcony was slightly open, letting the breeze sway the curtain.

Li Caiyi felt a sense of deja vu, seeing familiar sights and furniture again after a long time. However, her marvel was cut short by the sound of coughing from the young man sitting on the bed.

"Xiaoyi? You are here?"

Meng Renshu was wearing white pajamas. His skin was almost the same shade of color as it; it was so pale it was practically translucent under the room's light. He looked thin with dark circles under his eyes.

However, those traits couldn't cover the radiance in his eyes when their gazes met. He looked like a little boy who had just gotten candy.
