Sure enough, the youth's feigned composure and languor froze for a moment before he looked at her. Meeting her smiling eyes, Lu Cijian coughed lightly, stood up abruptly, and said somewhat awkwardly, "I still have some things to ask Wang San."
After saying that, he walked straight outside.
Jiang Yimian looked at that flustered figure and couldn't help but find it amusing.
After Jiang Yimian finished washing up and lay on the bed, the tightly closed door was opened again from the outside.
Hearing the rustling sounds and the sound of flowing water, Jiang Yimian's originally calm heart was no longer so calm, and her heartbeat subconsciously quickened.
Whether it was because the night was too quiet or for some other reason, she felt her heartbeat was particularly loud, each beat making her drowsiness disappear.
In the dimly lit room, the sound of running water stopped, and a rustling sound came from behind the screen. Jiang Yimian felt her body stiffen.
She was facing away from the wall, her eyes closed, as if she were truly asleep.
However, the sounds from inside the room kept coming toward her ears. She could hear the footsteps getting closer and closer, and finally stopping by the bedside without moving for a long time.

Lu Cijian paused, staring at the person in his arms for a while before saying, "This is truly a test."

The next day, Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian got up early.
Jiang Yimian felt that she slept exceptionally well last night, and felt refreshed. The fatigue from traveling these past few days had completely disappeared.
Just as I was about to get out of bed, I saw a person walking in from outside with dark circles under their eyes, clearly indicating they hadn't slept well.
She subconsciously asked, "Do I have trouble sleeping?"
She remembered that she was a very quiet sleeper and wouldn't move around much, so she shouldn't have disturbed Lu Cijian's sleep.
