Situ Xin, who didn't want to be troubled by this question, took several deep breaths and forced herself to calm down, even going so far as to count sheep. As she counted, Situ Xin actually drifted off into dreamland.
Xiao Muli noticed Situ Xin's movements. He thought she had woken up. However, when he turned to look at her, he only saw Situ Xin adjust her position. Then, there was no further movement.
This led Xiao Muli to believe that Situ Xin was merely sleeping deeply and had moved just to adjust her posture. Xiao Muli at that time didn't know about the turmoil in Situ Xin's mind. If he had known, he wouldn't have been able to remain so composed. He would probably have died of laughter.
After tucking the blanket around Situ Xin, Xiao Muli turned back to his work.
