Finally back at the cabin, Wen Shu found a room and leaned tiredly against the bed for a nap.
Tomorrow she would go on the bounty mission, she needed to be well-rested, but she was still waiting for Nan.
Just as the thought crossed her mind, the door creaked open. She sat up straight, opening her eyes to meet Nan's deep and mysterious gaze.
He somehow had sat down beside her, his fair and slender fingers hovering by her face, seemingly wanting to touch, but upon seeing her awake, they froze mid-air.
"Ashu, so you weren't asleep."
Nan's gaze clung to her face, his cool finger joints slowly dropped, brushing past her hair, lightly resting at the corner of her eye, as he sighed, "Believe me, I can explain everything."
Wen Shu's heart skipped a beat, feeling something was off about him, she tried to leave from under him but found she couldn't control her body.
