After Duan Rong learned Xiong Yi's secret, he didn't linger and directly returned to his room.
In the darkness, Duan Rong slipped in from the window like a large fallen leaf, drifting in quietly. Though his speed was swift, his feet were soft as if boneless, gently landing without making the slightest sound.
Xiao Yu was still asleep on the bed, breathing steadily.
Duan Rong quietly walked over and lay down. As he lay down, he seemed to disturb Xiao Yu, who muttered softly and wrapped her arm around Duan Rong's waist.
Xiao Yu pressed her forehead against Duan Rong's ear and slept peacefully.
Early the next morning, at Duan Rong's suggestion, they skipped breakfast and left Shen Garden.
Duan Rong mentioned wanting to return to Ruyang City for beef soup.
After the three had breakfast on the streets of Ruyang, they went to find Liu Shushan.
Seeing the three of them together at his door, Liu Shushan was overjoyed.
