Instead of taking the trunk directly to a guest room, Xie Yuchen headed to the inner courtyard. As he stood in the living room, he saw Qingye walking out.
Qingye had just washed her face and come downstairs. With her hands gathering her long hair in front of her, she was in the midst of tying a hair ribbon. Seeing Xie Yuchen standing there, she was just about to speak when her eyes fell on the trunk beside him. "What's this?" Was he heading out? Was he delivering something to her? Surely he wasn't planning to stay over?
Xie Yuchen glanced down at his trunk, then looked up with a smile, stepping toward Qingye. "You're awake. I brought a change of clothes so I won't be without anything if I stay the night." Even as he spoke, he took the hair ribbon from her hands, and while she was still momentarily stunned, he neatly secured her hair, then took her hand and led her toward the kitchen.
