Beiting Huang had no idea that Xu Xiaomo was actually a girl—if he had known, he'd probably be even less composed. He had a lot of faith in his brother's character, believing he was not the kind of person to take advantage of others in their time of need. However, things do not always go as planned, and Xu Xiaomo was not the boy everyone thought she was.
The Great Elder had specifically arranged a larger palace for Lord Beiting Jing and had informed him that there were two wings to the palace, an east wing and a west wing. Originally, Lord Beiting Jing and Xu Xiaomo were to sleep in separate rooms. Who could have known that after Xu Xiaomo fell asleep, she'd become quite the handful, incessantly asking for water, having nightmares, and making all sorts of noises? Eventually, while Beiting Huang was covering her with a blanket, she grabbed him in a tight embrace and refused to let go.
