At that moment, Shang Ruyi instinctively held her breath.
In fact, the two had only been apart for one night, yet for some reason, it felt like they hadn't seen each other for ages. She looked up at his face, which seemed somewhat unfamiliar.
Then she heard him ask, "Did you rest well last night?"
"..."
Perhaps due to the intense surrounding firelight, his eyes seemed to be bloodshot and red.
But Shang Ruyi knew that it was surely her illusion. Besides, the ones truly bloodshot and red, filled with veins, should be her own eyes.
Because the previous night, she hardly closed her eyes at all.
However, to keep him from seeing her eyes and to avoid worrying others, especially given—given what lay ahead, perhaps apart from Yu Mingyue, nobody knew the outcome of the battle of Taiyuan, a difficult battle where Yu Mingyue might add more complexities.
Moreover, last night, he was at Jinyu Garden, accompanying Chu Ruoyan...
So she replied, "Very good."
