The following day, Fu Shinian woke up to find Su Mu no longer by his side, which was rare—she usually slept in later than himself.
He suffered from hangovers, experiencing severe headaches the morning after drinking, but this time it seemed he was symptom-free. He vaguely recalled Su Mu giving him massages throughout the previous evening, which might have genuinely helped.
As he descended the stairs after freshening up, Su Mu was carrying breakfast from the kitchen to the dining table. Seeing him come down, she smiled slightly:
"Awake?"
"Mhm," Fu Shinian responded lightly, walking over and eyeing the breakfast laid out on the table. "Did you get up this early just to make this?"
Auntie Lin also emerged from the kitchen. Seeing that Su Mu didn't respond, she spoke up:
"Madam was down quite early, mentioning that the master had drunk last night and might not have much of an appetite this morning. So, she thought to prepare some light and refreshing food."
