Tang Yu set down her phone and went to take a shower.
She was on guard throughout, fearing that Ye Sihan might suddenly barge in.
The Ye Mansion was his turf; he could go wherever he pleased within it.
After bathing and putting on her pajamas, she emerged to find the room quiet and devoid of Ye Sihan's presence.
Not even seven o'clock, Tang Yu climbed into bed, manifesting the "physical exhaustion" she had mentioned.
If Ye Sihan entered the room, she would immediately ditch her phone and dive under the covers.
Surprisingly, it was almost nine o'clock and Ye Sihan still hadn't appeared.
Tang Yu was tired, so she lay down to sleep.
She didn't know how long she had been asleep when the sound of thunder woke her.
Tang Yu reached for her phone to check the time—it was past midnight.
She got out of bed, drew back the curtains, and saw the torrential rain through the glass.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning tore through the sky, followed by a rumble of thunder.
