Smiling, she made her way back to her room where Shui Xian and Yin Xing were both waiting for her in the shadows.
In such cold weather, both of their little faces were red from the frost, but they had remained faithfully at their posts and hadn't left. Lin Yuan felt both comforted and heartbroken, so she quickly sent them back to their rooms to rest.
"Miss, you go back to your room and rest for a bit, we'll get some hot water ready for you," Shui Xian said as she hurried off to the small kitchen. Knowing Lin Yuan would return late, they had prepared the hot water in advance and kept it warm in the pot.
As Yin Xing pushed open the door and picked up the lamp, she was just about to report the evening's happenings when she saw Lin Yuan hurriedly opening a window by the wall.
