"ah!"

The next morning, before the first rays of sunlight had even reached the windowsill, a scream of extremely high decibels came from one of the hotel rooms.

What are you doing in my bed?

How did you get in?

What did you do last night?

Catherine was so frightened that she jumped off the bed, clutching the blanket tightly to protect herself, and glaring angrily at Joey, who was shirtless on the large round bed.

"What are you howling about? Can't a person get some sleep this early in the morning?"

"You slept like a log last night, I was busy until the wee hours before I had to carry you back!"

Joey yawned, reached out and tugged at the blanket that Catherine was holding onto tightly, trying to cover himself with some more.

But this time, Catherine had some unexpected strength, and Joey couldn't budge her an inch. However, he was still very sleepy, so without a blanket, he curled up and continued to lie in bed.

"last night……"

Catherine seemed to recall something; she felt like she had been attacked last night, then fainted, and had no idea what happened next.

"Hey, you idiot, what happened after I passed out last night? Did you catch that monster?"

Catherine's anger vanished, replaced by curiosity, completely unaware that the clothes she was wearing were no longer the blood-stained ones from the previous night.

As for who switched it, that person probably won't admit it, at least not now.

"Hey, hey, hey, can't you have any manners? Last night I risked my life to fight that monster and save you, and you didn't even say thank you, and you're calling your benefactor a pig?"

"I think you're the one with a pig's brain!"

Joey lay there motionless, not even opening his eyes, but his voice was full of energy.

Upon hearing what Joey said, Catherine's curiosity turned into apology, indicating that she had already believed seven or eight parts of Joey's story.

Catherine was taken down without her noticing, which means the monster was incredibly strong. Now that she's back unharmed, it must have been Joey who carried her back.

She didn't believe that divine intervention would happen in the middle of the night to rescue her.

"Hey, okay, I guess I misunderstood you!"

"But how did you end up sleeping in my bed?"

Catherine's words were already a very sincere apology from her.

However, she still couldn't accept the idea of ​​sleeping in the same bed as Joey.

"Is this your apology? It's so insincere!"

("Luckily, I, Uncle Qiao, am smart enough to ask for some reward for doing good deeds in advance!")

Recalling the steamy scene from last night, Joey decided not to continue his antics with Catherine.

"It's all to take care of you. You were injured after being knocked unconscious by the monster. I kept an eye on you for a long time last night, and I didn't dare to close my eyes much!"

Joey was always good at lying, and now was the perfect opportunity to make a good impression on this royal princess so that they could get along well in the future.

His words had an effect; Catherine became somewhat embarrassed and hesitated to urge Joey out of bed.

"Once we get to Saipan, I'll pay you extra!"

Catherine thought for a while, not knowing how to thank Joey, and finally decided to end the somewhat awkward conversation with gold coins.

"Um!"

Joey groaned softly and continued to lie on the bed.

The scent of Catherine still lingered on the round bed. He twitched his nose; the fragrance was sure to help him fall asleep, and he soon drifted off.

Catherine craned her neck to look at the sleeping Joey before cautiously grabbing her coat from the side and quickly putting it on.

After getting dressed, she threw off the blanket and left the room.

Good morning, Catherine!

As soon as Catherine stepped out of the room, she saw that Granny Mary Sue was already preparing breakfast. After greeting her, she continued with her work, her face beaming with smiles, as if something happy had happened.

"Hello!"

While Catherine was still wondering what Joey had done last night, she was called by an unfamiliar voice.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young mother holding a baby in her arms, while the baby was diligently eating its abundant granary.

"My name is Vivian. Joey rescued me last night!"

Vivian introduced herself to Catherine, who had been unconscious the previous night and had not seen Vivian.

"Hello, my name is Catherine!"

With a smile, Catherine walked over to Vivian.

"last night……"

Vivian understood what Catherine wanted to ask, and after Catherine sat down next to her, she repeated what Joey had told her the night before.

"It really was that pig who saved me!"

Catherine confirmed from Vivian's words that she had been rescued by Joey, and murmured to herself.

"What pig?"

Vivian didn't hear clearly, so she asked again.

"No, no, you misheard!"

Catherine was already feeling guilty, and when Vivian asked her that question, she immediately denied it outright.

"Oh, thank you anyway!"

After Vivian finished speaking, she turned to look at her child, gently patting her back, her eyes filled with the tender light of a loving mother.

"No need, you're welcome!"

Catherine felt a little awkward accepting the thank you; she had fainted last night before even seeing the monster.

Being near Vivian made her feel a little awkward.
