The squirrel's nervous chatter caused Yu Sheng to subconsciously prick up his ears and listen to the sounds outside the cottage, but he could only make out some faint and distant wind.
The flames in the fireplace crackled, and the wind outside the doors and windows was too weak to hear clearly. These soft, delicate sounds made everything seem exceptionally quiet, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility in the glow of the candles.
The layout of the room was immediately clear upon entering—you could see a simple square table covered with a blue checkered tablecloth and two chairs beside it. Against the wall opposite the door was a wooden shelf cluttered with various items and a tall wooden wardrobe. In the corner was a single bed, covered with thick blankets, which looked quite comfortable.
To the left of the entrance, on the wall, was a window reflecting the light from the fireplace and candlesticks as well as the silhouette of the squirrel as it hopped about.
