It was a villa. The interior was mainly composed of a mixture of white and dark blue and grey colours. It was simple and clean.

You Huo dreamt of himself walking down the stairs...

Some of the invigilators couldn't help but squint slightly upon seeing the interior of the villa.

The general layout of the villas matched up with the current apartments for the invigilators... and You Huo was donning his regular invigilator outfit... so this was within the System?

But most of the invigilators had visited each others apartments before, whether it being picking up extra paperwork, or just some light chit chatting with some drinks to unwind after a particularly stressful day at work... and they didn't recognize the interior of this house at all.

This place was very strange.

It wasn't the place he stayed at temporarily when he was abroad, nor was it any place he had stayed at in China.

It wasn't the hospital, it wasn't the army academy nor was it Old Yu and Yu Wen's place...

In short, it wasn't a place he recognized.

You Huo was always far too busy with outstanding invigilation matters, and that had only increased tenfold as Qin Jiu became and examinee, and subsequently, an invigilator.

All the destroyed examination centers and the broken exams just ramped up his workload, and as far as they knew, You Huo barely even had time to stay in his own apartment, let alone going around and visiting other invigilators...

So whose house could it be...

But as he stood there, he had a both familiar yet unfamiliar feeling-

He seemed to know which corner he should turn at, seemed to know which room he was going to and seemed to know the structure of this house.

Every move of his was as if he was the owner of this place. Everything felt familiar.

"Your house, A?" Chu Yue casually asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

You Huo gave Chu Yue a look.

Seriously? You are asking that? You know what my apartment looks like.

But he didn't feel any sense of belonging from this, so it was also unfamiliar.

He guessed that this was probably where had he lived when he was Invigilator A.

Chu Yue snickered, trying to hide her displeasure at just how depressing You Huo's home was, "Alright, your house it is then."

She winked for good measure, earning a sarcastic eye roll in return.

This house should be located somewhere in the invigilators district, and he didn't like this place.

But that was also normal. Who would think of a place like this as their home?

You Huo said that this was his house... but it was just... too simple, too clean...

Too empty, too sterile.

Like it was a brand new house, completely unlived in.

If not for the fact that dream You Huo knew how to navigate the villa like he owned the place... they'd think that this took place before this became You Huo's house, as if he were a prospective buyer looking at his various options in a showroom...
