The recording of the song was completed and the MV filming had also concluded.

Xia Ling had managed to finish these two parts with difficulty, and it was now Wei Shaoyin's turn to do some polishing up from the backend. He kindly gave her a few days off for a break.

She received a message from Su Tang telling her that the renovation work for her apartment was done and she could now move in.

As such, she packed her luggage and a few boxes of her stuff to officially move into her new apartment. The girls in the same dorm room as her had offered to help her out, but she was wary of letting them find out that she was staying just next door from Big Boss Li, thus rejected their offer. Thankfully, Li Lei had asked Su Tang to send some movers to pick her up and the move was completed smoothly.

Xia Ling pushed open the door of her apartment when she arrived.

The sight in front of her eyes left her momentarily stunned. The entrance area was lined with white tiles, and a small, man-made waterfall mountain stood at the end of the small walkway spotted with green moss, forming a screen of sorts from the living room. Turning around the corner, the living room was forest-themed, with a soft, beige coloured sofa with several feather-filled cushions flung carelessly on it. On the exquisitely designed coffee table, there was a celadon tea set with a cracked ice pattern.

The floor was a criss-cross of wood and rock, with a meander of transparent glass. Under the glass was a small, narrow stream with multi-coloured stones and many vibrant, swimming fish. Following this little glass stream would bring her to the balcony. There were many tall plants on the balcony, swaying in the wind and vying for her attention. The sunlight shined in through the cracks in the leaves, making the place feel great and peaceful.

Under the shade of the plants, there was a bamboo deck chair. At this moment, someone was lying lazily on the deck chair, with a similarly lazy leopard that was staring at the swimming fish under the glass stream.

It was Li Lei and Er Mao.

Xia Ling had always been scared of Er Mao and stopped where she was upon seeing him. She called out to Li Lei, "Boss."

She did not ask why he had appeared here. He was her landlord and also her Big Boss. Even if he had trespassed on her living quarters, nobody would bother to question if this was appropriate.

The few workers that had helped her move in had also quietly took their leave.

Li Lei smiled amicably at her, his deep green eyes forming a line under the sun. His proportionate and muscular body was lying gracefully and comfortably on the deck chair, looking lazy and harmless like the big cat that was crouching at his feet. However, she had seen Er Mao kill someone before, thus naturally she also considered his owner to be a dangerous being.

"The lemon tea is delicious today. Do you want a glass?" He asked in a happy tone.

"No thanks." She remained in the same spot, noticing that Er Mao had lifted his head.

The moment she met Er Mao's eyes, Xia Ling felt all the hairs on her body stand, her breathing cease and did not dare to move. Er Mao's eyes, which looked like precious amber stones, looked her up and down for a while, not shifting away swiftly like they usually would. He looked at her intently, as if he was remembering every detail of her by heart.

This made her feel completely terrified.

"That's enough Er Mao, let's not scare our tenant." After a while, Li Lei's attractive voice floated over, "Xiao Ling, don't be nervous. He's just trying to remember how you look like."
