After all the commotion, it was already close to ten o'clock.
Ye Yuning came out after her bath, holding a basin of rather warm water with two towels soaking in it.
Xiao Linye was already lying on the couch.
Clad in a dark blue bathrobe, his eyes tightly closed, he appeared gentler than when they usually interacted.
Ye Yuning, carrying the basin, tiptoed to the coffee table and set it down gently. She asked softly, "Are you asleep?"
The man didn't respond, his breathing even.
Up close, Ye Yuning noticed his complexion was significantly worse than before he had gone in to shower.
It looked like he had quite a bit to drink tonight. In that case, it would be rather surprising if he didn't feel miserable in the morning. Ye Yuning was all too familiar with that feeling of a hangover. Not to mention the fiery discomfort in her chest at midnight, she would also feel groggy and nauseous the next day.
