When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark.
She got up, intending to go outside for some fresh air.
She was stunned when she opened the door.
Xie Huaiye was still leaning against the pillar outside the door!
The moonlight cast a silvery glow on his tall figure.
"Huh?"
Yan Ning approached in surprise, her voice still a little hoarse:
"Why are you still here? Aren't you going home to sleep?"
She thought everyone was resting.
When Xie Huaiye saw her come out, he immediately stood up straight, his eyes slightly evasive.
"Your voice still sounds a little hoarse... I was a little worried, so I stayed a little longer."
Yan Ning touched her throat, feeling much better:
"It's alright, being a little mute doesn't matter. The problem has been solved, the mayor has been arrested, and the poor have been appeased. What else is there to worry about?"
She thought he was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Their pace unconsciously slowed down.
This is it!
That chaotic night when a fox demon caused trouble.
Yan Ning was completely drunk, right next to this fish tank...
She kissed him, almost as if possessed!
That kiss, tinged with the scent of wine and flowers.
It was etched into his mind like a brand.
Does she... still remember?
Xie Huaiye's palms were sweating with nervousness.
He secretly glanced at Yan Ning.
Yan Ning was looking up at the moon, her profile appearing serene in the moonlight.
It seems... there's no particular reaction?
Xie Huaiye mustered his courage and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice:
"Um... do you remember... what happened in the garden last time, that night with the fox demon...?"
