She originally thought she wouldn't be able to sleep at all, but unexpectedly, she managed to sleep until dawn. When she opened her eyes, the sky outside was already bright.
She looked around but didn't see Gu Ning. However, his clothes were set aside. She tightened her grip on her fingers, only then realizing that she was still clutching a corner of Gu Ning's clothes. He had left his clothes here likely because she kept holding onto them and refused to let go.
She sat up. It wasn't too cold inside, and there was the lingering smell of wood burning. The warmth from the fire hadn't dissipated. Even though the small cottage was drafty, it had sheltered them from the wind and rain and had allowed them to spend the night safely.
Outside it was very quiet. It was very, very quiet.
Gu Ning must have noticed it, right?
