"All right."
"Eldest Brother is right."
Zhuge Yun bared his teeth.
Then he smiled.
"It's just a lotus leaf."
"No need for us to nitpick over it."
"If the trail's gone, then so be it."
"We won't dwell on it."
Zhuge Yun checked the time.
He turned to get his pajamas.
"Let's all take a shower and then go to bed."
"Mm."
Zhao Luzheng nodded.
The slight furrow in his brow eased.
He had been feeling a little bothered.
It was like coming across a difficult math problem.
But just as Zhang Bo and Zhuge Yun had said,
there was no need to hold a grudge over a lotus leaf.
He slowly let out a long breath.
All right.
That was the end of the matter.
No need to get hung up on it.
Xiao Xiao smiled.
He had been the quickest to let it go.
The lotus leaf incident was just a minor hiccup.
Since there was no way forward, there was no need to force it.
They could simply give up.
After all, there really was no reason to persist over this.
Xiao Xiao, the last to shower, came out of the washroom just five minutes before lights-out.
He calmly put away his toiletries.
Then he climbed the ladder to his bunk.
The dorm lights went out the second he sat on his bed.
"Ooh~"
Zhang Bo snapped his fingers.
"Third Brother."
"You timed that perfectly."
"I think so too."
Xiao Xiao's lips curved slightly.
Zhang Bo chuckled.
"Third Brother, you're not very modest."
"Why should I be?"
Xiao Xiao lay down.
"What you said is true."
Zhang Bo froze.
He realized that he...
was actually at a loss for words.
"Pfft~"
"Haha~"
