That night, the wind and snow were fierce.
Although they had been uneasy in recent days due to the matter of Yu Wenqian, this particular night was especially unsettling. Shang Ruyi continually felt a vague sense of unease stirring within her, like a pot of boiling soup constantly bubbling up.
Even Yu Wenye was affected. The two of them slept in each other's arms, and she listened to his clear breathing, very late into the night.
It wasn't until nearly dawn that Shang Ruyi finally managed to close her eyes.
But just after she had slept for a short while, she was startled awake by a burst of noise outside, as if the world had turned upside down. Shang Ruyi furrowed her eyebrows and struggled for a while before pulling a thread of consciousness back from her chaotic dreams. It seemed she heard the person next to her getting up, dressing, and then walking out. Following this, she heard Yu Wenye's muffled voice, lowered, "What did you say!?"
Shang Ruyi abruptly opened her eyes.
