After a while, Chen Yi slipped into the kitchen.
By the time breakfast was ready, Yin Tingxue had also awakened. The young girl wasn't entirely clueless about what had happened yesterday, but seeing Chen Yi unharmed, she felt at ease. She didn't have the habit of probing for the truth; as long as life continued as usual, that was enough.
After sharing breakfast with Yin Tingxue, Chen Yi faintly heard the sound of footsteps in the distance. He immediately rose from his seat, stepped over the threshold, and walked outside to find Min Ning, clad in fitted attire, standing just beyond the courtyard gate.
Min Ning touched her neck and said, "I'm here."
Only then did Chen Yi notice that the Adam's apple she had disguised earlier was gone, and her face was spotless. She still exuded a heroic charm, though now touched with one or two traces of femininity.
