After Zhu Cheng left, Duan Rong spent the entire day staying in the other courtyard, looking at the data.
Ruyi was constantly guarding him from not far away, occasionally bringing him fresh tea, but Duan Rong seemed to enter a kind of "flow" state, where everything around him seemed nonexistent except for the data in front of him.
With this state, he kept watching until late at night, when the slanted moon sank in the west.
Ruyi, who had accompanied him all day, was now beginning to yawn uncontrollably.
Duan Rong finally raised his head and moved his stiff neck. He picked up the cup of light tea nearby, took a couple of sips to moisten his throat, and glanced at Ruyi in the distance, who had just yawned and still had sleepy tears in her eyes.
Duan Rong smiled and said, "What? Are you sleepy?"
Ruyi replied, "No, Sir, I'm not sleepy..."
Before Ruyi could finish speaking, her expression changed, and Duan Rong also furrowed his brow and turned his head to look outside the room.
