Qin Mei was suddenly full of energy, quickening her pace and sometimes even breaking into a jog. Jie Jingchen, tall and long-legged, was mindful of her pride. He deliberately kept a distance of two paces from her; if he walked too fast and passed her, she would feel immense pressure.
Qin Mei returned home panting. She didn't bother to shower, just washed her face and feet, changed into her pajamas, and collapsed into bed, falling asleep instantly.
It was unclear if Qin Mei was simply dazed from exhaustion or if she truly saw him as a eunuch, because she changed into her pajamas without even turning away from him.
Qin Mei wasn't from this era; her upbringing wasn't so traditional and prudish. Besides, she was covering everything that needed to be covered. It wasn't like she was stark naked, so she saw no need to make Jie Jingchen turn away.
