Exiting the room, Li Xiaoyao saw Bing'er already neatly dressed, sitting on the sofa with very dark circles under her eyes, a clear sign of a bad night's sleep.
Upon seeing Li Xiaoyao come out, Bing'er immediately stood up from the sofa and said, "General Li, I apologize for the disturbance last night. I'll be heading back now."
She had intended to leave last night, but thought such an act would be disrespectful to Li Xiaoyao, which is why she had waited until now.
She hadn't rested at all through the night, solely to bid Li Xiaoyao a personal farewell.
"If there's nothing pressing, why don't you stay a bit longer? I need a bit of help with something."
"Hmm?" Bing'er asked, "Can I be of help to General Li?"
Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Have a little confidence in yourself."
Speaking of confidence, a look of melancholy crossed Bing'er's face. The self-assurance cultivated over more than twenty years had been shattered by you in one fell swoop.
