Xie Linzhou didn't reply, but said, "I'm not that much older than you, so you don't need to use the formal 'you' every time."

The moment this word was uttered, it became clear that the two of them were from different generations.

Xie Linzhou was eight years older than her. Although that was quite a bit of an age difference, they were indeed of the same generation, but his status...

"You...don't need to be so polite to me."

Song Ning nodded: "Alright, General Xie, please have a seat. I'll go get you some bedding."

This room used to be where Xu Feng and Song Rui lived, but it has been empty ever since they left.

Afraid of disturbing others, Song Ning brought a quilt from her own room.

“These are my bedding from my room, but General Xie, please rest assured, I haven’t used this one. You…General, please use it without worry.”

Upon hearing that it came from Song Ning's room, Xie Linzhou immediately took it.

"Don't worry, I like it very much."

Song Ning: ...No need for that.

"Then General, please rest well. I'll head back now."

"Wait a minute." Xie Linzhou stepped forward, his expression serious. "Don't misunderstand what happened at the Xie residence last time. Xu Jiaojiao and I had nothing going on. As for Yinghong, who bullied you, I've already dealt with her and avenged you."

Song Ning opened her mouth slightly, blinked her eyes, and froze.

"Oh...it's nothing, it's all in the past."

"Alright, that's all I wanted to say. You can go back and rest now."

Song Ning turned around in a daze and went back to her room.

She was so tired that she didn't have time to think much when she got back to her room and fell asleep immediately.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Song Ning got up and knocked on the door of the next room, but no one answered.

Pushing open the door, Song Ning found Xie Linzhou was already gone. She frowned. Xie Linzhou was indeed acting strangely. If he was leaving, why did he take her bedding with him?
