Huo Jingyan lay with his eyes closed, showing no response, and it was unclear if he heard anything at all.
Shen Qing glanced at the time; it was 5:30 in the morning.
She pulled out two tissues, wiped the sweat from her face, and repeated, "I'm leaving."
Huo Jingyan still showed no reaction, but this time, he opened his eyes.
As Shen Qing turned to leave, ready to step away, his voice came from behind, "Help me run the bathwater."
She paused slightly in surprise, then turned back, "You're not drunk?"
"Just had a bit too much to drink." Huo Jingyan sat up, his fingers slowly massaging his temples, "My head hurts, but I'm not drunk."
"I thought you were completely out of it."
Huo Jingyan massaged his temples for a moment, then fixed his gaze on her, repeating his request, "Go run the bath for me, my head hurts."
Shen Qing didn't respond further, but she still turned around and went to the bathroom to help him prepare the bathwater.
