The next morning!
"Ah..."
In her drowsy state, Qing Ning stretched, only then realizing she wasn't lying on the hard stones, but a soft, human cushion.
And when she opened her bleary eyes, she found herself lying on top of Zhou Yuan, which immediately dispelled all traces of sleepiness and made her much more alert.
"Awake?"
Zhou Yuan said flatly, if it had been before, he would have been embarrassed, but after experiencing so much, he now found it quite normal.
Qing Ning's pretty face flushed red, and she awkwardly asked, "Did I... sleep like this all night?"
How was he to explain?
Um...
It wasn't the first time they had ended up like this, so there seemed to be no need for an explanation.
But that didn't prevent the awkward feeling.
"You probably found the stone too hard,"
Zhou Yuan joked half-heartedly.
