She stayed by Lou Mu's bedside last night. Could it be that she got sleepy and went to bed?
She turned her head and saw the man still fast asleep beside her.
Lou Mu lay quietly on the soft couch, his handsome face gently resting against the delicate brocade quilt.
Beneath her tightly closed eyes, long eyelashes cast soft shadows.
Tang Nian swallowed hard without realizing it.
Meanwhile, Lou Mu, who was lying down, realized that Tang Nian had woken up the moment she opened her eyes.
Tang Nian was beside him; he slept very lightly, waking up at the slightest sound.
Looking at Tang Nian sleeping beside him, Lou Mu's heart was beating a little fast.
He was supposed to get out of bed, but Tang Nian woke up before he could.
Afraid of embarrassing Tang Nian, Lou Mu could only close his eyes and continue to pretend to be asleep.
Tang Nian, whose mind was not yet fully awake, was still groggy as she prepared to get out of bed.
Lou Mu felt the movement of the person next to him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door.
Caught off guard, Tang Nian's hand slipped and she fell, unexpectedly landing on Lou Mu.
Lou Mu was pretending to be asleep, but Tang Nian's sudden attack forced him to wake up.
His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he simply held Tang Nian in his arms, staring at her blankly.
Tang Nian's mind suddenly cleared the moment she fell into Lou Mu's arms.
She stared at Lou Mu, and in the quiet environment, Tang Nian felt she could almost hear her own heartbeat.
Neither of them spoke.
Just then, the knocking on the door started again.
Tang Nian quickly pulled herself out of her thoughts.
She coughed lightly twice, stood up as if fleeing, and quickly jumped off the bed.
"Um... someone's knocking on the door. I'll go open it first. You... you should get some rest."
After transmitting the message, he fled to open the door.
Watching Tang Nian flee in panic, Lou Mu couldn't help but smile.
Tang Nian opened the door and saw the Ye sisters.
Seeing Tang Nian's obviously disheveled appearance after just getting up, Ye Liusi was taken aback at first, and then said apologetically, "Master Tang, did I come a little too early and disturb your rest?"
Tang Nian shook her head: "It's nothing, I just overslept."
She couldn't help but think deeply about what the young prince had said yesterday.
Lou Mu's injuries are still unstable, and she doesn't want to get entangled with the Ye sisters any longer.
Tang Nian gave a few casual replies, and seeing that Ye Liusi still showed no intention of leaving, she asked, "Miss Ye, is there something you need from me?"
Hearing him say that, Ye Liusi nodded and smiled, saying, "My sister and I would like to invite you two out for a stroll. Do you have time?"
Her target was clearly not herself, but Lou Mu.
"Miss Ye, please wait a moment while I go and ask."
Tang Nian closed the door a crack and turned to go inside.
"The Ye sisters want to invite us to go shopping together."
To avoid arousing suspicion from those outside, Tang Nian repeated herself and then transmitted her thoughts to Lou Mu.
"Go wherever you want."
Lou Mu smiled slightly, his gentle voice echoing in the room.
"And what about you?"
"I'll go with you." Lou Mu knew what Tang Nian was thinking. "My ears are fine, and besides, you're right here with me."
Tang Nian gazed at Lou Mu quietly for a long time before nodding and turning away.
Upon hearing this, Ye Liusi's face lit up with surprise.
Having agreed on a time, Ye Liusi didn't bother her any further.
As soon as she turned to leave, the smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a complex and unfathomable emotion.
After the two went downstairs, the Ye sisters were already waiting for them.
Seeing Tang Nian and Lou Mu approach, Ye Liusi waved enthusiastically to Tang Nian, while Ye Liunian crossed her arms and leaned against the door, giving the two a slight nod.
In just one day, it seemed that the Ye sisters had become completely familiar with Jingning City.
Just the day before, Ye Liunian and Tang Nian were wandering around the streets, but today Ye Liusi is already introducing the two of them to the best places to eat and have fun in Jingning City.
But Tang Nian's mind wasn't on shopping at all.
Since Ye Liusi still wanted to talk to Lou Mu from time to time, and she couldn't let the Ye sisters notice anything unusual, she could only send a telepathic message to Lou Mu simultaneously.
Lou Mu didn't want to say much; most of the time, he just nodded or shook his head.
"Miss Ye, did you go to see the opera yesterday?"
Seeing that Lou Mu was really unwilling to deal with it, and also because she was getting a little annoyed by the telepathic communication, she interrupted Ye Liusi's incessant chatter.
"I finally got the invitation, so of course I went." Ye Liusi's eyes seemed to light up when she said this.
He pulled Tang Nian aside and started talking about the opera from last night.
Although Tang Nian wasn't interested in opera, she had been tricked yesterday, and she remembered the key points of that play very clearly.
She also wanted to use this to get closer to the Ye sisters.
Lou Mu lagged behind, looking at the two people in front of him who were chatting and laughing but each had their own ulterior motives, and didn't know what to say.
Around noon, the four of them found a restaurant. The restaurant owner seemed to know the Ye sisters, and they chatted happily. He even generously paid for all four of their lunches that day.
As they were finishing their meal, the two sisters excused themselves to catch up with the restaurant owner and left the private room.
Looking at the closed door of the private room, Tang Nian turned to Lou Mu and said, "That's a pretty good excuse."
Lou Mu frowned: "You want to go and see again?"
"Don't worry, I won't act impulsively again."
Tang Nian had sensed something was wrong when Ye Liusi came to see her this morning.
Throughout the journey, although the Ye sisters seemed cheerful, they remained vigilant about their surroundings, as if they were on guard against something.
They said they came to go shopping, but the two of them seemed a little uneasy during their shopping trip.
Tang Nian did not expose him.
They invited them out, and now they're going out alone to do something; it would be a lie to say I'm not curious.
She was curious to see what the sisters were up to.
Tang Nian opened the door, and the waiter standing at the door immediately came to greet her.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
Tang Nian glanced around discreetly, only able to see the hems of the Ye sisters' clothes. She pursed her lips and said, "Bring some of your shop's signs."
She closed the door and tore the talisman into pieces.
"Why are you still sleeping?" Tang Nian couldn't help but facepalm at the sight of the young prince's drowsy appearance.
"Speak your mind," the young prince said, rubbing his eyes in an annoyed tone.
"Transform into me, sit here, and eat as much of the food on the table as you like. If you're still hungry, ask the waiter to bring more."
The young prince's previously sleepy eyes instantly cleared: "Are you serious?"
Tang Nian nodded, suppressing a laugh. This trick was perfect for the little prince who loved to eat.
The little princess spun around, and a person who looked exactly like her appeared in front of Tang Nian.
Tang Nian clapped her hands in satisfaction and pointed at Lou Mu: "Take good care of him, I'll be right back."
After speaking, Tang Nian disappeared from the room.
