Fang Zheng slept soundly and comfortably, but the price was that the four girls did not sleep at all.
After Fang Zheng kicked them out of the room, the girls immediately returned to the guest room and began discussing what they had seen.
"What on earth was that? We weren't hallucinating, were we?"
Even now, Chiba Erika could not believe it. She had even pinched her own face red, yet she still had not woken up.
