Xi Cheng woke up with a splitting headache. He got up and reached for the cup of water at his bedside table but misjudged his strength and knocked the cup to the ground. A maid heard the sound and came in, saying, "Young Master, you're awake!"
Xi Cheng sheepishly retracted his hand and rubbed his temples. The maid deftly cleaned up the mess and brought Xi Cheng another cup of water. Xi Cheng drank it all in one gulp before leaning against the headboard and casually asking, "Where's Lin Yu?"
The maid seemed to have been waiting for Xi Cheng to ask and quickly replied, "Miss Lin has fallen ill. She has a fever over 39°C."
Xi Cheng was still hungover and only gave a soft, "Oh."
The maid stood by the bed, looking as if she had something to say but hesitated. Xi Cheng glanced at her wonderingly.
"Young Master," the maid hurriedly said, "do you… want to go and see Miss Lin? She's… quite sad."
