Bab 1177: You Gave up on Me

Qin Shu ignored Chao Yan, who was standing outside the door. She turned around and sat down by the bed. She had eaten a lot of sheep meat and frunk too much wine that night, so she felt parched.

She spied a water bottle on the dresser and pried its cap off, gulping down its contents to sate her thirst.

Chao Yan remained outside. He had not left. Just because he was blind and could not see did not mean he was bereft of his other senses. He could hear movement in Qin Shu's room, indicating that she was still awake.

A while after his first attempt at an apology, he tried again, "Baby, I'm sorry."

Qin Shu sat on her bed, refusing to acknowledge Chao Yan's presence. Time passed, and silence reigned. Hearing no movement from outside, she assumed that Chao Yan had left.

She heaved a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed. The yurt was quiet. Soon, sleep claimed her, easing her agitation under a soft quilt and a fluffy bed.
