Qiao Zhen was too exhausted, and after hearing Ye Shangzhou's words, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already early the next morning. When she opened her eyes, she saw Ye Shangzhou guarding her bedside. He had a stubble beard and dark circles under his eyes, and he looked very tired.
