The sky was still dark.
Yu Zhi walked out of her room slowly, eyelids drooping as if she hadn't fully woken up, her face filled with drowsiness.
Just as she reached the stairway, Yu Zhi bumped into a firm chest. She rubbed her nose, looked up at him groggily, and asked, "Why are you up so early?"
Shi Wei stepped back half a pace, his eyes flickering uneasily. "I have to go to the office."
Yu Zhi didn't notice his odd demeanor and nodded before continuing on her way.
Shi Wei followed close behind, his fingers curling nervously as he asked tentatively, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Yu Zhi yawned, her light brown eyes foggy with a hint of mist. "It was alright." Though her lips were swollen from a mosquito bite, overall she felt rested enough.
"That's good." Shi Wei exhaled in relief, grateful that sleepwalkers typically lose memory upon waking.
Even though what happened last night wasn't his intention, he was still at fault.
