Qin Zhiyou turned over and mumbled, "Sleep."

Lu Weixi didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she heard Qin Zhiyou's steady breathing.

When Lu Weixi woke up, Qin Zhiyou had just gotten up and was sitting on the edge of the bed changing his clothes. He didn't turn to acknowledge her when he heard her stirring. Once he was dressed, he left to wash up in the bathroom.
