The next day, Bai Qingzhu woke up without seeing Xiao Lijin's shadow. She was already used to it; whether he came back or not, she had already grown accustomed to it.
As she came out, Pan Xueqin approached her and asked with a smile, "Looks like things between you and Lijin have improved a lot. I saw him coming out of your room this morning."
Bai Qingzhu was surprised: "Really?"
"You're still keeping secrets from mom. Even though we haven't said anything lately, we've all noticed. Those nights, Lijin was staying in the study, but last night, he was in the same room with you."
To Pan Xueqin, this was good progress. If things continued like this, even if Xiao Lijin didn't remember, they could fall in love again.
Bai Qingzhu tried to recall but couldn't remember if Xiao Lijin had slept in their room last night.
"Something's wrong."
Someone ran in from outside.
Pan Xueqin said sternly, "Why are you so flustered? Whatever the issue, stay calm."
