The little cubs, now wide awake, couldn't get back to sleep. Shi Wei decided to take them downstairs for some roasted meat so they wouldn't stay up here and bother Su Yu.
Su Ting didn't go; he was especially clingy with Su Yu.
Su Yu let him snuggle up to her as she focused on finishing her noodles.
After eating, she carefully carried Su Ting over to the grass nest for him to sleep. Then, she ambled around the room a couple of times.
She glanced at the downpour outside, then went to check on the Snake Eggs. Feeling drowsy, she finally climbed into the grass nest and hugged Su Ting to sleep.
Perhaps because she had something on her mind, Su Yu didn't sleep soundly. The moment someone entered the room, she sensed it and her eyes snapped open, her gaze sharp and alert.
She immediately saw Shengqing, who had just walked in.
