Chu Beiying and her party returned to their residence, and Cloud placed Chu Beiying in a chair before stepping back.

“Miss, do you want to rest or…” Rain asked Chu Beiying.

“Help me back to my room, I’ll just wash up a bit and then go to sleep.” Chu Beiying felt sticky and uncomfortable.

She couldn’t take a bath with her injured knee, so wiping her body would have to do for now to make her feel a bit more comfortable.

Cloud and Rain supported Chu Beiying on each side as they helped her back to her room.

“Miss, do you need help?” Cloud asked Chu Beiying.

“No need, you all should go rest.” Chu Beiying wasn’t used to being served.

“Miss, we’ll be outside. Just call out if you need anything.” Cloud didn’t say they were going to rest.

Instead, she wanted to fulfill her duty in protecting Chu Beiying.

“You don’t have to stay with me, I won’t run away. Today was an accident.” Chu Beiying said lightly.

“But Miss…”

“Go to sleep, I really won’t run away, I promise. You all need to rest well to protect me, right?” Rain’s words were interrupted by Chu Beiying.

“Besides, this is my home now, isn’t it? Where else can I go?” Chu Beiying thought, since she couldn’t return, this would be her home from now on.

“Alright, Miss.” Cloud glanced at Chu Beiying before pulling Rain away.

“Cloud, do we really go to sleep? Don’t we have to keep watch?” Rain hesitated as she looked at Cloud.

“Let’s rest. We’ll tell the captain and Thunder later that they can rest too and there’s no need to keep watch. Miss won’t leave.” Cloud had just seen the despair in Chu Beiying’s eyes.

Cloud didn’t know what had happened to Chu Beiying in the past two days that caused her to show such an expression, but Cloud believed that if Chu Beiying said she wouldn’t leave, she wouldn’t.

Cloud also believed that if Chu Beiying said yesterday’s escape was an accident, then it was, and Cloud was willing to trust Chu Beiying.

“I understand.” Rain didn’t say anything else after hearing how certain Cloud was. Upon exiting the hall, she went to find the captain.

“Alright, I understand. Trust Miss and Cloud, go get some rest.” Feng agreed immediately upon hearing.

“Captain, why are you and Cloud so sure?” Rain didn’t quite understand.

“One’s eyes can’t deceive others. You’ll understand when you’re older.” Feng said lightly as she looked out the window.

“Oh.” Rain still didn’t quite understand, but she didn’t ask any further.

Rain went back to her room deep in thought, and Cloud glanced at her upon hearing the door open.

“What are you thinking about? Hurry up and wash up and sleep, it’s almost dawn.” Cloud laid down on the bed in one smooth movement.

“Alright.” Rain glanced at Cloud before going to wash up, not dwelling on it any longer.

Chu Beiying wiped her body and lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling. The events of the past two days felt like a dream, but they were really happening to her.

But why had she come to this place? Was there a reason for it? No matter how hard Chu Beiying thought, she couldn’t figure it out, so she just blocked out all her thoughts and went to sleep.

“Hiss, it hurts.” The next morning, Chu Beiying woke up feeling pain in her foot, making her very uncomfortable.

“Miss, are you up?” Cloud’s voice rang out from outside the door.

“Mhm, I’m up.” Chu Beiying replied upon hearing Cloud’s question.

“Then I’m coming in.” Cloud asked after hearing Chu Beiying’s response.

“Come in.” Chu Beiying looked at her still somewhat swollen foot.

“Miss, do you want to eat breakfast downstairs or upstairs?” Cloud saw that Chu Beiying hadn’t washed up yet.

“I’ll eat downstairs.” Chu Beiying wasn’t in the habit of eating in her room.

“Alright, I’ll go and prepare downstairs.” Cloud nodded.

“Okay, you go ahead.” Chu Beiying wasn’t quite used to ordering people around.
