It really is a never-ending series of troubles, one after another.
The issue with Tang Xincheng has been resolved, but now Douzi has gotten into trouble again.
Under Gu Ning's coaxing and deceiving, Tang Yuxin managed to eat a bowl of rice and drink a bowl of soup. As Gu Ning spoke soothingly like telling a story, she fell asleep with her head on the table.
Gu Ning carefully tidied up the table, trying not to disturb her too much, and draped his coat over her. She didn't wake up, although Gu Ning knew that Tang Yuxin was a light sleeper and could easily be startled awake.
It was best not to make too much noise. The more she could sleep now, the better—it would give her the energy to deal with what was to come.
