"Of course it's true. I'm a little sleepy. You guys keep eating, I'll have Xiaoru push me to bed." As she spoke, Mu Wenya yawned.
Liang Xiaoru had barely eaten anything to pretend it wasn't her first time eating there. She hadn't had a chance to try many of the things she wanted to eat, and was still hungry. She stood up awkwardly, grabbing Mu Wenya's water cup as she did so.
"Miss, I'll go with you too." Yi Yi stood up as well, since she couldn't eat any of this tonight anyway.
Mu Wenya also wanted to talk to her, so she didn't refuse.
After walking a few steps, Yi Yi stopped, turned back, and patted Mu Nanxun's head solemnly. "Young Master, next time you eat raw worms, remember to squeeze out their poop. Although you can't feel it wriggling in your mouth, at least it'll be cleaner."
"Pfft—" Uncle Zhang, Xiao Fang, and the others finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. What kind of joke is this, young master? He's hoisted himself by his own petard!
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran away.
Mu Nanxun swept his stern gaze over, but only caught a glimpse of the girl's bouncy, wicked back as she skipped and hopped, her scheme successfully accomplished.
Looking back at the lobster meat and sea cucumber on my plate, I suddenly lost my appetite. Strangely, there was a strange taste in my mouth. I rinsed my mouth with water, but even the water tasted odd.
No, he needs to rinse his mouth!

Inside the room, Mu Wenya merely inquired about Yi Yi's recent situation before yawning again. "So sleepy?"
"Miss, I think you're sleepy. Have a glass of water and get a good night's sleep tonight." Liang Xiaoru handed her the glass.
"Thank you." Mu Wenya accepted it. "Thanks to you, I haven't had a seizure these past few nights."
Yi asked curiously, "What method did you use to prevent the young lady from having a relapse?"
Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed across Liang Xiaoru's face, but she quickly calmed down and replied, "No, it's nothing. It's probably because I took good care of Miss during the day, and Miss was in a good mood, so she slept soundly."
Is that so?
Yi Yi had some doubts.
Li Ma had said that before Liang Xiaoru came, the young lady would have a seizure almost every night. According to Liang Xiaoru, did Li Ma not take good care of the young lady before? That's impossible; Li Ma must have taken much better care of her than Liang Xiaoru.
As she spoke, Mu Wenya had almost finished drinking the water in her cup, leaving only a small sip.
"Miss, there's just a little more. You need to finish it before you can get a good night's sleep," Liang Xiaoru urged.
Yi stared at the glass of water.
"In this cup..."
"There's nothing in the cup!" Liang Xiaoru suddenly became agitated and hid the cup behind her back. Quickly realizing her lapse in composure, she hurriedly explained, "This...this is the cup Miss uses for drinking water. I heard from my medical school senior that drinking more water helps with sleep, so I told Miss to drink more water. It's surprisingly effective; now Miss gets a good night's sleep every night and doesn't have any more episodes."
Although she made it sound plausible, Yi Yi still had some doubts. Although she hadn't had much contact with humans, she had still learned a thing or two about reading people.
When Liang Xiaoru was saying those words, her eyes darted around, she stammered, and she seemed very nervous. She felt that things were definitely not as simple as Liang Xiaoru made them out to be.
