Feeling a bit hungry, Su Ye went downstairs to buy something to eat and happened to see the boss had ordered takeout and was also cooking a midnight snack. She shamelessly sidled up to join.
The boss was making a local specialty noodle soup and cooked two portions, one for her and one for Gu Yan.
"I surely won't eat this in the middle of the night, it's specially prepared for you guys."
"Even though I didn't manage to achieve anything, it's at least because of you that I ended up this way. In the spirit of humanity, sending over a meal is also fine, right?"
Su Ye pursed her lips and nodded in agreement.
After eating a few bites downstairs, she brought Gu Yan's portion up, placed the midnight snack on the table, and then went to wake him.
Gu Yan lay in bed with his eyes tightly closed, his cheeks flushed. Su Ye sensed something was wrong, reached out to touch his forehead, and found it frighteningly hot.
"Gu Yan!" She pushed him, trying to wake him up.
