Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xi Cheng woke up with a splitting headache. He got up and reached for the cup of water at his bedside table but misjudged his strength and knocked the cup to the ground. A maid heard the sound and came in, saying, “Young Master, you’re awake!”

Xi Cheng sheepishly retracted his hand and rubbed his temples. The maid deftly cleaned up the mess and brought Xi Cheng another cup of water. Xi Cheng drank it all in one gulp before leaning against the headboard and casually asking, ‘Where’s Lin Yu?”

The maid seemed to have been waiting for Xi Cheng to ask and quickly replied,

“Miss Lin has fallen ill. She has a fever over 390C.”

Xi Cheng was still hungover and only gave a soft, “Oh.”

The maid stood by the bed, looking as if she had something to say but hesitated. Xi Cheng glanced at her wonderingly.

“Young Master,” the maid hurriedly said, “do you… want to go and see Miss Lin? She’s… quite sad.”

Xi Cheng didn’t respond, so the maid carefully continued, “Because of what happened between you and Miss Gu… Miss Lin is very upset, and Madam is also extremely angry.”

“Miss Gu? What Miss Gu?” Xi Cheng asked, perplexed.

The maid had a complicated expression. Xi Cheng threw off his blanket and got out of bed. “What Miss Gu?” he repeated with a frown. “What happened between Miss Gu and me? Which Miss Gu?”

He quickly ran through the people he knew in his mind; he didn’t remember there being any Miss Gu! Feeling anxious, the maid told him the truth. “You—you were making out with Miss Gu Man i—in the tea room. Madam and

Miss Lin caught you two in the act… and Miss Lin fainted.”

Xi Cheng was stunned. “Me? With Gu Man?”

The maid vigorously nodded. ‘Me and Gu Man… were making out?” Xi Cheng wanted to confirm once more.
