227 "The Wretched Burglar"

Zhou Tianyu left the apartment and Shen Mengting also went back to the classroom for revision. Wen Xinya was savoring the lovely pears from Si Yiyan while taking her time to plug the computer in, start it up again, and browse the posts on the discussion forums.

At this moment, a shuffling noise was heard from the window. Shocked, Wen Xinya's body stiffened up in defense—there couldn't be a burglar in broad daylight, could it?

Wen Xinya reached out for a glass lamp on the study table and dashed to the wall beside the window. As her singlet pressed against the snow-white, chilly wall, the cold temperature traveled along her stiffened spine and spread to her entire body, making her feel cold.

Then, a shadow flashed on the light purple curtains and the window was pushed open—the short action lasted less than a minute. Wen Xinya instinctively held the lamp up and smashed it at the shadow.
