Mei Shuyu really didn't want to let Hua Yan go, but he couldn't detain her, so he just clucked his tongue and let her leave.
He withdrew his gaze and glanced at Ye Lanqin, who was lying beside him. He really wanted to kick her off the bed, but now that he had gotten her insects, he thought it best to follow the rules, just as Hua Yan had said. He needed enough energy to deal with the matter tomorrow. So, he closed his eyes and fell into a drowsy sleep.
He had not been asleep long when Ye Lanqin awoke.
Upon opening her eyes, Ye Lanqin first looked at herself in confusion, then, with equal bewilderment, at the soundly sleeping Mei Shuyu beside her. Something seemed off. She sat up and stared blankly ahead.
After sitting in a daze for a while, she suddenly realized something. She reached for her chest, and then her expression dramatically changed. She leapt out of bed with a start.
