It was late at night when Yu Zhizhi awoke.
The lights in the break room were dim.
On the bed beside hers, the Little Octopus was sleeping. Yu Zhizhi slowly walked outside, pushing open the door to see that the safety pod was open.
'Tang Luo Ke is up?'
Further inside was Noel's study. From the doorway, she could hear the sound of medicine bubbling and gurgling in a pot.
Noel was nowhere to be found.
Yu Zhizhi glanced at the coffee table; the bamboo basket that had been on it was also gone.
She felt a little nervous. Hearing a noise from the balcony, she quickly walked over.
On the study's balcony, which was decorated with potted medicinal plants, a familiar figure sat in a chair. The bamboo basket was on the table in front of him, and the Little White Snake was skillfully nibbling on a cookie.
Hearing footsteps, the Little White Snake and Tang Luo Ke both looked up.
