Time passed, bit by bit.
Because it was too dark around, so dark that the grasslands and the night sky were indistinguishable, none of them noticed the hour. It wasn't until another cold wind blew, tangling a loose strand of hair from Shang Ruyi, which fell across Yu Wenye's cheek, that the unexpected softness made his heart flutter.
Only then did they realize it was nearly the third watch.
Although Shang Ruyi was still trying to talk to him, at this moment, in the firelight, you could see the thick fatigue on her face.
Today had indeed exhausted her.
So Yu Wenye said, "It's late, go rest."
Shang Ruyi replied, "Okay."
After speaking, she prepared to stand up, but having sat for too long, both legs were numb. As soon as she stood, she stumbled and almost fell, luckily Yu Wenye immediately grasped her slender arm and steadied her.
"Are you alright?"
"…"
Originally, she was fine.
