Mu Xiaoyao stepped out of Baili Xia's room, casually closing the door behind him.
Just as he was about to return to his own room, he saw that the door of his eldest brother's room, not far away, was suddenly pulled open.
Mu Lingchuan stepped out in haste. He had not expected that as he lifted his gaze, he would see Mu Xiaoyao.
From his current view, it looked like Mu Xiaoyao had just stepped out of Baili Xia's room.
Mu Lingchuan instinctively glanced at the tightly closed door of Baili Xia's room: "She..."
"She fell asleep from exhaustion," Mu Xiaoyao casually replied.
The words spoken without intention, yet heard with meaning.
Exhausted... fell asleep, was she exhausted by him?
The sounds he had heard outside the door when he came earlier, were echoing in his head.
The girl was constantly screaming, begging him to be gentle, to stop...
Mu Lingchuan was jolted back to awareness, taking another look at the Mu Xiaoyao before him.
