Bai Ruozhu was made uncomfortable by the hard bed frame, but she didn't have time to worry about the discomfort as her mind was rapidly assessing how she could escape from this place.
In front of Zhou Jue, she closed her eyes, unwilling to believe that he would keep vigil over her without a blink.
Soon, she found that Zhou Jue really was determined to watch her continuously. He sat nodding off on a chair in the room, but it was quite clear that he was not deeply asleep but rather keeping part of his attention on her movements.
Bai Ruozhu dared not act rashly, she could only pretend to sleep, striving to keep her breaths steady, so as not to arouse Zhou Jue's suspicion.
Suddenly, Zhou Jue opened his eyes, a strange flush spreading across his face. He muttered under his breath, "Damn it!" before hastily getting up to leave the room.
Seeing her opportunity, Bai Ruozhu moved with a thought and escaped into her Space as soon as Zhou Jue had stepped out of the room.
