So he had already returned.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about how sly he usually was. She suspected that he wasn't really asleep, but was pretending to sleep so that he could catch her off guard and do things to her later on.
She grew more and more curious. Walking in her slippers, she snuck over to the bedside.
However, she didn't dare to get too close to the bed, maintaining a distance away in case he was pretending to sleep. That way, if he lunged up and grabbed her she still had space to escape.
However, as she got closer and closer to him, she realized that he really did look like he was sleeping.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little dejected. Had she been imagining things? Maybe he didn't understand her hints?
According to his personality, he wouldn't be able to fall asleep if he had gotten her hints.
Mu Xiaoxiao crawled up the bed and lay beside him. Moving her head close, she observed his handsome face at close quarters.
He really was asleep.
