During the night, both Ye Nanshen and Rong Qi were in bed but seemed unable to sleep. Ye Nanshen turned to embrace her, resting his forehead against her shoulder.
Rong Qi, lying flat, asked, "Can't sleep?"
"It's nothing, don't worry, I'll figure it out," Ye Nanshen reassured her.
Rong Qi chuckled, "I'm not overthinking. It's just a bunch of crows. We'll deal with it."
In fact, crows had been circling their and Ye Rong's rooftops for several days.
"I'll handle it, let's sleep," Ye Nanshen urged.
Rong Qi laughed softly and turned to hug him back.
After a long while, when he heard Rong Qi's light breathing, indicating she was asleep, Ye Nanshen quietly got out of bed and left the room.
When he returned later in the night, he was damp and chose to lie on the sofa rather than disturb her.
However, soon there was a commotion outside.
