Stealing Your Heart

The sunrise was beautiful, but climbing the mountain was a rather taxing affair.

Their empty stomachs made it worse.

After loading their luggage onto their car, they got in and savored the silence around them. The place was almost deserted around that time period.

As the city came into view, Shen Peichuan asked Sang Yu if she was hungry, to which she replied, “It’s fine. I’d rather go home and take a bath first. Sleeping in the tent with my clothes on hasn’t exactly been comfortable, you know.”

“Sure,” Shen Peichuan replied.

He parked the car in the neighborhood carpark and they alighted from it, with Shen Peichuan carrying their tent and Sang Yu carrying their water bottles.

They ascended the stairs slowly.

Shen Peichuan put their things down as Sang Yu watched. When he was done, she gave a shy chuckle and disappeared into the bathroom.

After putting the things down, Shen Peichuan looked around for Sang Yu, only to notice the sound of water running from the bathroom. He proceeded to walk out through the front door.

He was not a cook, but he knew where to get the best deals and the most delicious food in town.

Sang Yu took a quick bath and put on her clothes as fast as possible before walking to the living room, only to find it empty.

She turned around and walked into her bedroom, which was empty as well. It was as though no one had been in her house over the past few days.
