She could just get up a little earlier tomorrow and wash the bowls.
'Hmm... maybe Lin Ruoxi will leave in a bit?'
"So sleepy..." Gu Muxue yawned. The medicine she took earlier had a sedative effect, and she hadn't expected it to work so quickly.

Lin Ruoxi sat on the sofa in a daze. It was already nine o'clock at night. 'Should I go back to the university?'
Xue Rui had called several times asking where she was. She'd told him via WeChat that she was having dinner with Gu Muxue.
She had been nervous while typing, but Xue Rui wouldn't be able to tell she was lying through text.
No one could find out about Gu Muxue's illness. That was what Gu Muxue wanted.
'But no matter how you look at it, she and Xue Rui are the beneficiaries.'
She decided to secretly keep it from Xue Rui and tell him that she and Gu Muxue had become good friends.
Lin Ruoxi replied to Xue Rui: [Rui, I'm not coming back to the university tonight. I'm staying with Gu Muxue. Master Yang gave me a key.]
