The night was deep, and the cold wind howled across the sea, scraping through the cracks of doors and windows, chilling the room to an icy cold that made the air frigid and freezing.
Qin Youbei, wrapped in a blanket, huddled on the bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
Though the heat was on, her hands and feet felt icy, as if the cold was penetrating to the marrow.
She got up and adjusted the heater several times, but it seemed to have no effect; she wasn't sure if the room's air conditioner was broken, or if the blanket was too thin.
Getting up to drink a cup of hot water, she realized there was none in the room.
Her dress had been torn by Gu Xiao, and the clothes she had initially worn weren't delivered to her room, so she donned Gu Xiao's robe and stepped out.
It was quiet outside, with no one in the entire floor.
There was a dining room on the first floor, surely with hot stuff to eat.
