Bai Xiaoruo also cleaned the floor again, making sure every corner was spotless.
After taking a shower upstairs, Bai Xiaoruo sat on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and picked up a book to read intently.
Meanwhile, Hsien Ming-yu was still busy with his unfinished work in his study.
The young couple lived separate lives, without disturbing each other.
***
I've been reading for over an hour, and I'm almost finished with the book. I'm getting a little tired.
Hsien Ming-yu hadn't returned to his bedroom yet.
Bai Xiaoruo was worried that he was under too much work pressure and would be very tired, so she closed the book in her hand, put it back on the table, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

"Come in."
After receiving permission from the person inside, Bai Xiaoruo carefully turned the doorknob and went inside.
"What's up?"
Hsien Ming-yu sat at his desk and got straight to the point.
He hadn't finished his work yet and didn't have much free time to chat with her.
Bai Xiaoruo walked straight towards Xuan Mingyu, and finally placed the warm milk she was holding on Xuan Mingyu's table. "Drink some milk, it will help you sleep better."
Xuan Mingyu glanced at the glass of milk on the table, but didn't intend to pick it up. "I don't like milk, take it away."
He dislikes being disturbed while he's working, and he dislikes being told how he should live his life and what his eating habits should be.
