When Shen Jianian woke up the next morning, Fu Jichen was not in bed.
Shen Jianian slowly opened her eyes, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. It took her a moment to remember that she had fallen asleep in the resting room of Fu Jichen's office last night.
The aftereffects of climbing the mountain emerged after a night, and Shen Jianian felt soreness in her waist, aching in her back, and stiffness in her legs. Even turning over required conserving energy.
Shen Jianian's gaze wandered, and she found her phone charging on the bedside table, most likely plugged in by Fu Jichen after she fell asleep.
She unplugged the charger, and the screen automatically lit up, displaying the time as 9:24 AM.
Without looking at the time, she thought it was still early.
With one hand on her forehead, Shen Jianian was flooded with a sense of fatigue.
