He had actually ordered some deep-fried chicken drumsticks that were marinated and accompanied by french fries; this was the only meal he could manage to order as it was late into the night.
After placing it onto a plate, he picked it up and strode upstairs, opened the bedroom door, and got inside, "I ordered your favorite marinated chicken drumsticks... Here..." He placed the plate on the bedside drawer before assisting her to sit up and placing the pillows behind her back for her to lean against the headboard comfortably.
He placed the plate on her lap! He was treating her just like a baby! Too much pampering.
"Thank you, Uncle!" His proper and keen care warmed her heart. He was careful when it came to taking care of her.
"It's okay... I will clean up first, you can go to bed once you are done with your food!" With that, he picked up his pajamas plus a towel and went over to the bathroom. He rarely used anyone's soap, and it wasn't in there; he wanted to take a warm water shower plainly.
Zhou Yuxi was done eating in no time and slept. Third Master Mu was done taking a shower, wore his pajamas, and when he came out, Zhou Yuxi was asleep and even snoring.
He did two or three virtual meetings before closing his laptop and the lights; he laid down on the bed. Closer to the wall was Zhou Yuxi, and he took place at the edge of the bed, covering himself with another duvet, and in no time, he fell asleep.

It was around 4:30 in the morning! "Where did you go?" Third Master Mu who was seated on the couch looking at his laptop heard the sudden opening of the door.
He had woken up an hour ago and he didn't find her on the bed! He has been waiting for her for an entire hour while working on his laptop.
Zhou Yuxi, who was slightly shocked, stopped on her footsteps as she was tiptoeing back into the bedroom with all the darkness. Third Master Mu got up and switched the lights on squinting his eyes upon her.
"Hehehe... Uncle..."
"How could you stay in the darkness like that? I almost got a heart attack thinking it was a ghost!" How could she explain to him what she has been up to? Would he think she was cruel?
"I was waiting for you to show up so that you could tell me what you have been up to in the darkness!" How could he not see how nervous she was, her eyes were giving her away! He had, earlier on, tried to check into the CCTV cameras around the mansion but found out they had malfunctioned. Not only had they malfunctioned, but other data had also been deleted.
He wanted to go downstairs to find her but thought against it and decided to wait for her back in the bedroom. Here she was! Looking guilty and cold.
"Hehehe... Uncle, why are you thinking like that? I just went downstairs over to the kitchen to drink some warm water and since I didn't feel sleepy, I watched some cartoons on the television in the sitting area for a few more minutes before coming back here..." She slowly walked back sitting on the bed.
Third Master Mu got up and strode over to the bed and sat down beside her. Her skin was pale, and you could see those goosebumps, meaning she was outside the mansion in the cold.
Apart from the flowery and rain-windy scent on her! He could smell some ammonia, wood scents, and gasoline! What was she up to? He had never seen her in another different image, so he checked her neck out and saw that butterfly birthmark! She was Zhou Yuxi, but what was she up to?
