I'm a little panicked when I cross the collapse

Aponia and Fu Hua had a very pleasant conversation, hmm!

At least that's what it seems on the surface.

"Miss Hua, please stay for dinner tonight."

"Huh? This?" Hua looked at Lu Qiong, who was idly standing to the side, for help.

Seeing Lu Qiong nod, Fu Hua felt relieved and immediately agreed, "Okay, thank you for your help. Also... you can just call me Hua."

"Okay, I understand, Hua."

Aponia revealed a gentle smile.

It was soon approaching evening.

Because she was afraid of leaving a bad impression on Lu Qiong's two older sisters, Fu Hua was very careful throughout the entire dinner.

Having barely made it to the end, Fu Hua was ready to flee when Aponia suddenly said, "Why don't you stay here tonight, Hua?"

"Huh? This...this isn't a good idea, is it?"

"Could it be... could it be that I'm supposed to sleep with him...?"

Fu Hua was extremely conflicted at this moment, feeling both fear of the unknown and a touch of curiosity and anticipation deep within her.

This development was far beyond her expectations!

Aponia gave Fu Hua a meaningful look, who seemed to still be lost in thought, and then said something that disappointed Fu Hua immensely.

"Don't worry, Hua, there are plenty of rooms here."

"Huh? Oh."

Fu Hua thought to herself: "So I was overthinking it!"

.................

Time passed by, and soon it was midnight.

Just a second ago, Fu Hua, who had been sleeping soundly with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes without any warning.

She blinked, trying to wake herself from her sleep. However, her drowsy state made her feel somewhat confused, as if the whole world was spinning. Fu Hua rubbed her eyes, trying to clear her vision.

"I'm so thirsty..."

Fu Hua muttered to herself, her throat feeling like it was on fire, unbearably dry. She licked her lips, but found that it did nothing to relieve her thirst.

Fu Hua looked around, hoping to find something to quench her thirst. However, there was no obvious source of drinking water in the room, nor any containers to hold water. She sighed helplessly, thinking, "Looks like I'll have to check the living room."

Fu Hua carefully pushed open the door, afraid of making a sound. She tiptoed through the hallway towards the living room. After all, she had just moved here and didn't want to disturb other people's sleep over such a small matter.

When she walked into the living room, she immediately saw the water glass on the table.

Fu Hua was delighted, remembering that there seemed to be some boiled water left over from earlier that day. She quickly walked to the table, picked up the glass container, and found that it was indeed still more than half full.

"Great!"

Fu Hua couldn't help but say softly.

She eagerly picked up her water glass and began to drink it in large gulps.

One cup after another, as if they could never get enough.

Fu Hua had never found the taste of this cooled boiled water so delicious.

Every sip brought her immense refreshment and satisfaction; at that moment, this water was simply the most delicious drink in the world.

Once her thirst subsided, Fu Hua put down the cup with satisfaction.

She checked the time and found it was still early.

So she decided to go back to her room and continue sleeping, since she had a lot to do tomorrow.

However, when passing by Aponia's residence,

Fu Hua couldn't help but stop and stare.

Because... she seemed to have heard some strange noises.

Because the room was well soundproofed, Fu Hua couldn't hear very clearly.

"Garlic bird, garlic bird, let's not cause any more trouble," Fu Hua immediately turned and left.

Unexpectedly, the door lock turned for some unknown reason and then opened a crack on its own.

The voice became even clearer, leaving Fu Hua bewildered.

She wanted to leave, but her legs wouldn't obey her commands. Although she hadn't experienced much, she probably knew roughly what this seemingly kind-hearted older sister, Aponia, was doing.

But she was just too curious.

Humans are always curious about the unknown.

"Hmm! I'll just take a look and leave."

Having made up her mind, Fu Hua turned back again.

That one glance completely changed Fu Hua's "values" and "worldview".

Aponia's posture clearly indicated that there was more than one person in the room.

But the view through the gap was limited; she could only see a little bit.

However, what Fu Hua didn't notice was that Aponia's lips were slightly upturned inside the room (as if she were smiling after some scheme had succeeded).

...........................................

Fu Hua couldn't sleep that night.

The next morning, Fu Hua hurriedly left without even having breakfast.

Seeing this, Lu Qiong was completely bewildered. "What's wrong, Hua? Aren't you going to have breakfast with us before you leave?"

"Gudong!"

Fu Hua swallowed hard, glancing at Aponia who had already prepared the milk and cutting board.

She was plump and had a rosy complexion; she couldn't be better.

"No, no, I... I have things to do, I'll go first."

Ouch! Before she could finish speaking, Fu Hua tripped over the door frame because she was in such a hurry.

Seeing Fu Hua staggering along, Lu Qiong smiled helplessly and then asked Aponia for her opinion, "Aponia, I'll go see her off..."

“Okay, go ahead, Qiong’er. I think Miss Hua… seems to be frightened by something.”

As Lu Qiong gradually disappeared from her sight, Aponia licked her lips with lingering satisfaction, her expression dark and inky. "Qiong'er's physical condition is really getting better and better. She was almost exhausted last night."

...........

outside,

"Hua, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry to leave all of a sudden?"

Lu Qiong, who had caught up with Hua, asked with some confusion.

"this........."

Fu Hua was somewhat speechless, but after thinking it over carefully, she decided to speak up, since Lu Qiong and Aponia should know about this matter.

five minutes later,

"What! You mean Aponia, she was in her room with a man last night...?"

Lu Qiong's emotions fluctuated wildly.

“Hua, you............”

Lu Qiong wanted to say something more, such as, "Did you see it wrong?"

Unfortunately, Fu Hua's reaction (her face turned red, clearly indicating that she was embarrassed to say such a thing) suggests that this matter is very likely true.

"Did you see who that man was?"

Lu Qiong pressed for an answer with some urgency.

"No, there was only a small crack in the door at the time. I was afraid of being discovered, so I only glanced at it a few times and then left."

Fu Hua expressed her regret over this.
