Beichuan Si handed over the hot water bottle as well.
"Hmm. I was just looking for the hot water bottle."
Shen Gu Mirai smiled and gulped down a big mouthful of warm water.
Once she was fully recovered, Beichuan Si also stood up and calmly asked:
"Now you should be able to sleep, right?"
"Hmm. Thank you, Mr. Temple, I'm okay now. Mr. Temple, you should rest early as well."
Shen Gu Mirai gently hugged Beichuan Si and rubbed her head against his chest as she spoke.
"Hmm... it's indeed time to sleep."
Beichuan Si agreed with the idea.
He got up and closed the room door, then—
"Hmm..."
Shen Gu Mirai stared blankly at the white ceiling.
After a while, she spoke like she was sleep-talking, "Um... Mr. Temple? Why are you lying on my bed?"
Indeed, just after Beichuan Si closed the door, he lay directly on her bed.
From such a close distance, Shen Gu Mirai could even hear Beichuan Si's breathing.
"Didn't you tell me to rest early?"
Beichuan Si's steady voice sounded.
