Xu Hemiao was not asleep; she was simply lying there with her eyes closed, lost in thought. She had harbored feelings for Zhou Cheng in the past, but after that night, she had grown afraid. Now that Zhou Cheng had suddenly confessed his feelings, she could see he was serious, yet she was unsure if they could truly settle down and build a life together. Her heart was a chaotic mix of excitement and unease.

His tone was gentler than she had ever heard it. Unaccustomed to this, Xu Hemiao averted her gaze and said, "I’m going to the restroom."
