Chu He was awakened by a series of rustling sounds.
She had always been a light sleeper. Perhaps it was because of her profession that she had a heightened alertness compared to that of ordinary people. Hence even when in a deep sleep, she was able to detect the slightest movements.
Her eyes snapped open. In the darkness, she saw Meng Qingxue tiptoeing into the ward. Behind her, Mu Yanchen strode in.
The stiff leather soles of his shoes tapped loudly with each step he took.
Meng Qingxue did not realize that Chu He had woken up. Thinking the girl was asleep, she turned around and whispered to Mu Yanchen, "Shh! Lower your voice. Don't create too much movement. She's still resting!"
"That little noise is not going to wake her at all."
