After having their late-night snack, the couple left and found a clean inn nearby to rest for a few hours before continuing their journey at dawn.
They didn't stay at a big hotel because they were worried about attracting too much attention; opting for simplicity could help them avoid many prying eyes, which was naturally better.
Shu Yimo also felt somewhat exhausted, as reviewing for exams recently hadn't been an easy task, and she hadn't yet recovered from that when they had to set off on their journey. She was already extremely tired.
So when Long Chengyu came out of the bathroom, she had already gone to bed, but when she felt him approaching, she squinted her eyes and glanced at him.
"Go to sleep early, you sleep on the outside... is that okay?"
"Scared?"
He sat down by the bed, smiling at her amusingly.
"A little, yes. When I used to stay in inns like this by myself, I would turn on all the lights."
