Chapter 2: Shen Family
"Cough, cough,” “Cough, cough”…
Subconsciously aware of his abrupt fit of coughs, Shen Luo woke up abruptly from his bed. He hastened to take a few deep breaths before swiftly pulling out a small bottle from under the pillow, pouring out a yellow pill about the size of a bean and swallowing it.
He sat motionless on the bed for quite some time, feeling the stifling feeling in his chest and the chill gradually dissipating before he finally breathed out a long sigh of relief.
After letting out a bitter smile, Shen Luo slowly put on the neatly folded clothes on the chair next to him. Then, out of habit, he glanced at the desk in the corner of the room.
On the table, a pale yellow, worn-out book lay quietly, its cover inscribed with the neatly aligned black small characters that read “Chronicles of Unusual Spring Stories”.
Shen Luo furrowed his brows and withdrew his gaze. He then opened the door slowly and walked out of the room.
"Young Master.”
A young servant boy about twelve or thirteen years old was standing guard outside the door. Upon seeing Shen Luo emerge, he hurriedly came forward to pay his respects.
In the distance, a large group of connected residences with red tiles and white walls could be vaguely seen, with all kinds of buildings adding up to about forty to fifty rooms.
