Mei Chengyu had gotten up early and gone out. He had bought breakfast from the Dining Hall and brought it back. Judging by the time, his Junior Martial Sister, who never slept at night, should still be awake, so he went to find Yu Sui first.
When the door opened, Mei Chengyu saw Yu Sui with her dark hair loose. She had neither tied it up nor pinned it back, and the long hair flowing over her shoulders made her look even more docile and endearing. The corners of his mouth lifted, and his mood brightened—until he caught sight of Wei Ren behind her, looking curious as he peered toward the door.
Mei Chengyu's expression went blank. "Why is he here?"
Yu Sui took the food box Mei Chengyu handed her. "He came on his own."
Wei Ren: "..."
Thanks. Maybe you shouldn't have answered.
Yu Sui looked up at Mei Chengyu and gestured with her eyes, asking if he wanted to come in and sit for a while.
Mei Chengyu withdrew his warning stare from Wei Ren. "I still have to take something to Zhongli Shan. I need to discuss something with him."
"Okay." Yu Sui nodded and watched her Senior Martial Brother leave.
Wei Ren had eight thousand questions, but when he saw Yu Sui return with an even expression, he didn't dare ask. He could only grumble to himself before pretending he hadn't seen anything and continuing to discuss the fragments.
Xue Mushi arrived not long after, but Li Jinshuang couldn't come. She still had to act with Xun Zhiya, and leaving on her own now would arouse suspicion.
Yu Sui ate at the small table, filling her stomach, while Xue Mushi and Wei Ren sat at the Long Table and stared at the Futuo Tower Fragment.
