After Mui left, Yūto, Tsunade, and Yíngsháo entered the three adjoining guest rooms.
The rooms were simple but fairly clean. Yíngsháo chose the innermost one, while Yūto and Tsunade took the two nearer the outside.
Before long, the guards respectfully brought them food.
The three ate a little.
After the meal, Yíngsháo felt a little tired and headed toward her room. Yūto and Tsunade were also preparing to return to theirs.
Just then, Tsunade suddenly turned toward Yūto and quickly gave him a meaningful look.
Yūto understood what she meant, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
He felt that sharing a room while away from home was not very appropriate.
Seeing him hesitate, Tsunade immediately frowned and shot him a fierce glare.
Helpless, Yūto could only nod.
Yíngsháo happened to turn around and see this. Puzzled, she asked, "Lady Tsunade, Lord Yūto, were you two exchanging some kind of secret signal?"
Startled, Tsunade hurriedly waved her hands and said with feigned nonchalance, "Nothing, just a little thing. You're tired, aren't you, Yíngsháo? Hurry off to bed!"
"Oh... all right." Though still a little puzzled, Yíngsháo obediently entered her room and closed the door.
Soon, the doors to the other two rooms closed as well.
A little while later, Yūto's door quietly opened.
Yūto poked his head out and looked around. After making sure the corridor was empty, he quickly and quietly slipped into Tsunade's room next door.
In the early hours of the morning, Yíngsháo lay in the middle room, feeling unsettled and unable to sleep. That malice kept affecting her.
She got up and went to Tsunade's door, wanting to go inside and sleep with her. That might help her feel more at ease.
Without knocking, Yíngsháo reached out and opened Tsunade's door.
The sight before
