Luo Shimiao put the items back into the bag and placed it on the floor. Then she unwrapped the bag containing the late-night snack, and a golden, crispy treat was "liberated" from its foil wrapping.

"Second brother, how about a chicken leg?"

Luo Ruilin pursed his lips and looked away: "I won't eat it. I can't have any meat for seven days."

"Instant noodles are not included?"

"The instant noodles are vegetarian."

Um... the noodles are vegetarian, but the other ingredients are uncertain.

"Alright, since you're not going to eat it, I won't share it with you." Luo Shimiao stuffed the roast chicken back in, picked up all the things, and said, "Second Brother, I'm leaving. You can continue copying, and put it on the balcony for me when you're done. I'll come and pick it up later."

Luo Ruilin looked up at her younger sister: "You promised to copy together?"

"I'll come after I've had a late-night snack." She had a guilty smile on her lips.

What room number are you staying in?

"208, I'm leaving now." She glanced at Xiao Lü, grabbed her things, jumped off the balcony, and made a hasty retreat.

Little Green: "Second Brother, goodnight~" and then slipped away.

A helpless sigh echoed in the quiet room.

...

Across the street, Bai Yunqing's door was ajar. She sat behind the door, staring intently at Luo Ruilin's room, a camera in her hand.

"It's already midnight, why hasn't Luo Shimiao come out yet? Is he spending the night inside?" His brows were furrowed with fatigue.

Bai Yunqing now resembles a paparazzi who stays up all night to take photos.

At this moment, Luo Shimiao was fast asleep in bed. When she came back, she was too lazy to take the stairs and climbed over the balcony, which startled Hao Yun.

Bai Yunqing waited for another ten minutes or so, then a strong sense of drowsiness enveloped her: "Forget it, I'll get up a little earlier tomorrow, maybe I'll catch her coming out of that room." She closed the door and pushed the chair against the wall.

With a "snap," the room plunged into darkness, and soon the sound of even breathing came from the bed.

She had just fallen asleep when the door she had been watching for four hours suddenly opened. Luo Ruilin's tall and slender figure appeared in the doorway, holding the Heart Sutra he had just copied and a pen.

He went downstairs, then up to the building next door, and finally stopped in front of room 208.

Luo Ruilin squatted down and stuffed the folded Xuan paper, which had been folded in half, through the crack in the door. After it was completely pushed in, he then stuffed the brush in as well.

After doing all this, I left quietly.

......

2 a.m.

A tall figure appeared under the night sky, wearing a loose black protective suit that covered her slender body.

After bending down to pick up the things on the balcony, she jumped off without hesitation.

In the darkness, she moved nimbly, silently appearing on Bai Yunqing's balcony like a shadow.

"Chirp chirp~"

Luo Shimiao pinched the little green dog that had insisted on coming along, and whispered, "Don't make a sound!"

"Chirp chirp"

"..." Idiot.

She put down the cage, took out the fine wire she had prepared beforehand, inserted it into the keyhole, and after a few twists, the door opened.

After waiting for about ten seconds to make sure the person inside wasn't awake, I slowly pushed open the door and tiptoed inside.

Luo Shimiao stood by the bed, looking down at the sleeping Bai Yunqing, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

She took out the itching powder, poured it into her hand, and was about to sprinkle it into the air when she realized it was a white powder. If she didn't shake it off after sprinkling it on the blanket, Bai Yunqing would definitely become suspicious.

But if the shaking was too loud, she would be awakened. Thinking of this, Luo Shimiao had no choice but to change her strategy and poured the itching powder into the cotton slippers under her feet.

She put away the bottle, picked up her slippers, turned and walked back to the balcony, swinging her shoes a few times over the railing. She switched the shoes to her left hand and picked up the cage she had left behind.

She was afraid the sound of the bees would wake Bai Yunqing, so she put them on the balcony for safety.

He left the door slightly ajar, untying the knotted net as he walked. He held the net open to prevent the bees from escaping, and only opened it again near the bed. After releasing the bees, he quickly left.

Luo Shimiao ran a dozen meters and muttered, "Dozens of bees, I wonder how many will hit her." Serves you right for throwing snakes at me, I'll kill you with those bees.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a scream came from behind.

"Aaaaaah! What the hell is that?! Help!"

The sharp scream was bound to wake many people, so Luo Shimiao quickened her pace and returned to the dormitory before everyone was awakened.

She returned to her room, quickly took off her protective suit, crumpled it up, and stuffed it into her suitcase.

In the pitch-black bed, Xiao Lü nestled against Luo Shimiao's chest: "You fierce woman, Sister Hao Yun is sleeping so soundly, none of the noise outside has woken her up."

She was a little surprised; before coming back, she had been thinking about how to tell her if she woke up. But when she got back, she found her sleeping soundly, completely undisturbed.

"Go to sleep, we'll watch 'Pig Head' tomorrow."

"Mmm." Little Green rolled off Luo Shimiao's body and crawled to the pillow to sleep. Sleeping on a soft chest is comfortable, but it could kill a bird; it's safer to sleep here.

The noise outside became a hypnotic sound for Luo Shimiao, and she drifted off to sleep as the noise gradually faded away.

The next day, in the morning.

Luo Shimiao wakes up earlier than her alarm clock; when something happens, she wakes up automatically even without being woken.

She threw back the covers and got out of bed. She hadn't gone to get the Heart Sutra last night, so she had to get up early today to retrieve it.

"Huh?" The feeling of something strange under her feet made her stop. She couldn't see what it was because the light wasn't on.

She moved aside and picked up what she had stepped on: "A pen?" How could there be a pen by the door? Thinking of something, she squatted down and felt around, and sure enough, she found a piece of paper.

"My second brother is so kind; he even brought it to me." After putting away the pen and paper, he lay back down on the bed and continued sleeping.

......

Before heading to the meditation hall, the director called a meeting.

Downstairs in the dormitory building.

Cao Lu frowned when she noticed that one person was missing: "Why hasn't Bai Yunqing come down yet?"

Pan Guohua said with a heavy expression, "She was stung by a bee in the middle of the night last night and is resting upstairs now. She can't do the live broadcast for the time being." Her skin is so swollen, and she insists on staying in the hospital instead of going to the hospital. It's really a headache.

"So you must lock your doors and windows before going to bed at night."

Xu Xingliang's eyes showed doubt: "How did the bee fly in? Or is there a beehive in her room, and she accidentally touched it and got stung?"

"No, the temple doesn't have any security cameras, so we don't know how the bees got in. Anyway, make sure you check that the doors and windows are tightly closed before you go to bed at night."

"Last night was a complete mess, there was quite a commotion, didn't you hear it?"

Hao Yun smiled sheepishly: "No, my sleep quality is sometimes good and sometimes bad. When it's good, you can talk to me at my bedside and I won't be woken up."

"I didn't hear it either. I always sleep very well," Luo Shimiao said, yawning. Her delicate face showed no sign of panic or guilt, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

Seeing her yawning repeatedly, Pan Guohua couldn't help but say, "If you go to bed early, you shouldn't be sleepy. Why do you still look so sleepy?"

She held up the rolled-up Xuan paper in her hand, shook it, and said, "Director, why don't you try copying the Heart Sutra 50 times?"

"I forgot, I forgot." A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. "That's all for today's meeting. Go about your business."
