Chapter 39: What Counts

Gao Yuan woke up in the middle of the night, overheated and covered in three layers of blankets while still in his clothes.

Luo Xingyu was sleeping soundly, and after some thought, Gao Yuan decided to sleep by himself. He quietly got out of bed and moved to the adjacent bed to sleep alone.

The blanket was cool and needed to be warmed up again, but Gao Yuan felt much more comfortable.

However, when he woke up the next morning, Luo Xingyu's expression was very unpleasant.

It had been a long time since he had slept so comfortably. Gao Yuan woke up later than usual and, upon opening his eyes, saw Luo Xingyu sitting on the bed, wrapped in a blanket, watching him.

"What time is it? It's so late," he said.

Gao Yuan quickly sat up, then said to Luo Xingyu, "You're awake but not saying anything. I'll go and cook. What would you like to eat, meat or pancakes?"
