After they finished dinner, Lu Cheng went to return the dishes they had borrowed from the cafeteria.
Lu Cheng had asked Shen Nian if she wanted to go for a walk. However, while pouring him a glass of water just now, she had remembered her space.
She had planted the ginseng in the space but hadn't been back to check on it yet. She had no idea what it looked like now!
This was the perfect opportunity. While Lu Cheng was out, she could slip into the space for a look, so she declined his offer.
Lu Cheng didn't think much of it. He just assumed she was tired from the day's travels, told her to get some rest, and left.
As soon as Lu Cheng closed the door behind him, Shen Nian slipped into the space. 'I saw that he didn't take his keys,' she thought. 'So when he gets back, even if I haven't left the space yet, I'll still be able to hear him knocking.'
