When the first rays of morning sunlight shone on the white bedsheets, Gu Man slowly opened her eyes. Then, she heard Xiang Yin's familiar voice. "You're awake? Do you want to eat something?"
His voice sounded a little hoarse. Could it be that he had been guarding her all night?
"I just got here."
Xiang Yin saw through Gu Man's thoughts and lied through his teeth.
"No need. I'll buy some on the way to school." Gu Man rejected Xiang Yin's good intentions and propped herself up from the bed.
Xiang Yin handed her a pillow and placed it at her waist to make her feel better.
After doing this, Xiang Yin said, "I applied for leave from your school. Rest well today."
"Leave?" Gu Man was stunned. "What identity did you apply for leave with?"
"Good friend?" Xiang Yin said, his lips curling into a meaningful smile.
