Chapter 464: Disoriented
"Lanni?" Xiaoshi called out when she realized that Lanni had spaced out for too long. The latter didn’t seem to hear her so she tapped her arm, and she finally jolted out of her trance.
"Mmh?" She looked confused.
"Why aren’t you eating?" Xiaoshi pointed at the food that had been delivered a few minutes ago, but was untouched by Lanni who was deep in thought. She hadn’t even realized when the food was brought in.
She picked up her cutlery. "It’s right. I’m still a little disoriented... I guess it’s because I slept too much."
"Do you want to go out for fun later?" Xiaoshi suggested. She knew that Lanni had something on her mind and it had nothing to do with her feeling disoriented. She couldn’t probe unless the latter was willing to talk about it herself, so she could only offer something that would help her cheer up without being intrusive.
Lanni was thankful for her good intention but she had to call a rain check. "Maybe next time?"
"Of course." Xiaoshi did not push it. "If you need someone to talk to, I’ll be right here."
...
As soon as she finished having lunch with the new couple, she left the restaurant absentmindedly and before she realized it, she had rang Xiehan’s doorbell.
"My love, I thought you were going to sleep all day." The man opened the door with a complicated gaze. He was pleasantly surprised to see her but was at the same time worried, especially when he noticed that she didn’t seem to be in the best mood.
"I missed you." She confessed and threw herself into his arms.
