"Hmm... Ning Feng, turn off the lights."
The light shining on her face flickered, and Jiang Wan, who was fast asleep, turned over and let herself return to darkness.
But annoyingly, the light seemed to follow her everywhere she went.
Turn over.
Follow me.
Turn over again.
Follow me again.
!!
"Stop it! Let me sleep a little longer! Just a little longer..."
With her eyes closed, Jiang Wan frowned slightly and moved her mouth back and forth, as if she were talking in her sleep, uttering many words in the unique local dialect of Bincheng.
Finally, she simply lay down and buried her face in the pillow.
This pillow is so soft and comfortable... Hmm?
Even in her sleep, Jiang Wan sensed something was wrong after lying down.
Something seems off.
This pillow not only feels soft, but also has a wonderful elasticity and a subtle fragrance.
The aroma evokes images of soft green grass, quiet forests, and a gentle breeze, naturally calming the mind and making one want to take another nap...
Wait a minute, something's not right!
Why does this scent smell so familiar?
And why is this pillow warm?!
"Well?"
Realizing the strong sense of unease, Jiang Wan's half-awake consciousness gradually returned, and she slowly and groggily propped herself up.
"Where am I?"
Rubbing her eyes, Jiang Wan blinked repeatedly, trying to see her surroundings clearly.
She could sense the surroundings; they were all familiar and reassuring, with nothing to disturb her, which was why she could sleep so soundly and continue sleeping even after being disturbed.
But before her eyes could fully adjust, she saw the "light" that had just woken her from her dream.
"Huh?...Wait, huh!?"
Before the question mark above her head could even appear, Jiang Wan, who had just opened her eyes, was dazzled by the light again.
This time, it was absolutely dazzling.
That wasn't some incandescent bulb or a prank flashlight, but a specially made, high-powered magical flashlight.
The design concept of this flashlight is to maximize the intensity of the light, so that it can even be used as a deterrent flashbang when facing wild animals.
? ? ?
I was just asleep, why did they have to shake me with this thing?
What deep-seated grudge could they possibly have?!
But just as Jiang Wan was about to shed tears from the stab, she heard the sound of a flashlight falling to the ground and a sigh of despair.
"That's great...that's great."
The person who spoke felt no pleasure from the successful prank, only a sense of relief.
Jiang Wan was familiar with the voice of the person speaking; even with her eyes closed, she could tell who it was—Yun Shuchang.
"Sister Shuchang? What are you talking about? Why... do you sound relieved? What made you so nervous?"
What made me nervous?
Thump thump thump!
Excitedly tapping the bed frame, Yun Shuchang looked at the sleepy Jiang Wan with a resentful expression.
"How could I not be nervous?! Do you know how soundly you're sleeping?! I thought you were going to die!"
Yun Shuchang was so emotionally agitated that she disregarded any semblance of ladylike composure and kept muttering to herself.
"You really don't remember what happened before? You've been unconscious for a long time!"
"That's why you're awake. Otherwise, I would have splashed a bucket of ice water in your face in a little while!"
After grumbling and cursing for a while, Yun Shuchang wiped her eyes hard with her sleeve at the end, picked up her cane, and started to walk out.
"Hey? Where are you going?"
Why did you leave?
To be honest, even now, Jiang Wan still feels a sense of confusion in her mind, and there are still some unclear parts of her consciousness. She is not very clear about what exactly happened.
"Alright, you get some rest. I'm leaving now."
The figure leaning on the cane paused, waved to the person behind her, and then walked out of the room without looking back.
She paused at the doorway and said softly:
"Don't worry about the others. The captain and Xiaoyu are all safe and sound. You are the last Sleeping Beauty to wake up."
Card.
Watching the door close gently, Jiang Wan blinked and tilted her head in surprise.
"...What's wrong with her?"
Heartbroken?
It can't be that she's going through menopause, can it?
"Maybe it's because I'm worried about you, or maybe it's because I'm here."
The gentle voice made Jiang Wan, who was in a daze, turn her head, only to find her cheek buried in something soft.
!!
So fair-skinned!
So soft!
It's huge... uh, no, it doesn't seem that big.
"Woo-ha! Xi, Xilin?"
So, the pillow we just saw was Shirin!
No wonder it looked so familiar...
Xilin raised an eyebrow, but without pushing away Jiang Wan, who was clinging to her chest and blinking incessantly, she calmly said:
"I'm not very familiar with Yun Shuchang. Because I'm here, there are many things she can't say."

Jiang Wan: "It doesn't seem like it..."
?
Looking at Jiang Wan, who was still somewhat disoriented, Xilin sighed:
"You're all acting so recklessly, are you all children?"
