It wasn't until he saw the door close that Mu Xiaoyao snapped back to reality.
Uncle... really let him stay with Baili Xia tonight.
Was it Nangong Xu's words about "after-effects" just now that made Uncle feel uneasy?
Looking at the slightly ajar door, Mu Xiaoyao was silent for a moment before finally heading towards Baili Xia's room.
No matter what happens in the future, at least, for now, he should help this girl get better.
...
Early in the morning, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling window, stinging Baili Xia's eyes.
She rubbed her eyes and slowly opened them.
She lifted her eyes and looked towards the direction of the window.
There stood a tall figure beside the window, seemingly just having drawn the curtain open.
"Since you're awake, go downstairs for breakfast."
Mu Xiaoyao stood with his back to the sunlight, and Baili Xia couldn't see his face clearly.
However, upon hearing his familiar and reassuring voice, her mood instantly improved.
