Recalling the scene just now, she still felt very frightened, instinctively curling her body into the blanket.
"I know about the surveillance," Shi Aoju said as he walked to the door and adjusted the room's lights to a warm hue, hoping it would ease Su Jiuyi's discomfort.
"You know?" Su Jiuyi looked at him in surprise.
Seeing her curled up like a little cat, Shi Aoju suddenly found this side of her quite adorable.
Her daytime self was too stubborn, often making people annoyed, but this gentle side of her, perhaps, was her true nature.
"I had someone check the surveillance that morning; it's been edited out," he said.
Who would be so skillful?
"Then you should believe me when I say that sending alcohol to your room wasn't to…" Su Jiuyi initially wanted to say "get into your bed," but thinking it inappropriate, she rephrased, "wasn't with an ulterior motive…"
Shi Aoju stood by the bed, nodding nonchalantly before furrowing his brows.
