The night passed quietly, and when the first ray of morning light entered the room early the next morning, Mu Yunfan, with his precise biological clock, had already woken up.
Mu Yunfan stretched and rubbed his eyes as he sat up. He had slept quite well, as he was truly exhausted from yesterday.
Suddenly, Mu Yunfan remembered something and turned his head to look beside him. Sure enough, Phyllis was sleeping next to him. She was lying on her side, facing him, with her eyes closed delicately. With the sunlight shining on her, her beautiful face had a serene beauty, as she breathed softly.
Gazing at Phyllis' delicate face, Mu Yunfan's heart skipped a beat, finding it hard to believe that she had truly slept in his bed last night.
Perhaps due to the movement of Mu Yunfan getting up, Phyllis' long eyelashes fluttered slightly before slowly opening her eyes. As her eyes adjusted, she looked around groggily, still not fully awake.
Seeing Phyllis's drowsy and adorable appearance, Mu Yunfan couldn't help but smile.
In the next moment, their gazes met.
Phyllis froze in place, her eyes widening, her expression transitioning from drowsiness to alertness. A look of panic appeared in her eyes.
When she woke up and saw the unfamiliar bed, she wondered where she was. But upon seeing Mu Yunfan, she remembered - she had slept in his bed last night!
In an instant, Phyllis sat up abruptly, her face turning as red as a ripe apple.
"M-Mr. Mu Yunfan, I... I... I... I'm sorry..." Phyllis stammered nervously, her dress straps slipping off, almost revealing her chest. She quickly pulled them up, then lowered her head, feeling too nervous and shy to know what to say. It was as if her head was about to emit smoke.
Mu Yunfan was initially quite nervous as well, after all, having such a beautiful young girl sleep in the same bed with him for a night. However, upon seeing Phyllis's nervous and bashful demeanor, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "How did you sleep last night?"
When Phyllis was asked this question, she remembered that she had dreamed of Grandma Ella last night. She hadn't dreamt of her for a long time, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. But then, Phyllis remembered that she could never return to the elven kingdom in her lifetime, which meant she would never see Grandma Ella again. Her face then turned melancholy.
Seeing Phyllis seemingly recalling something unpleasant, Mu Yunfan changed the subject, saying, "Are you hungry? Would you like some breakfast?"
As soon as Mu Yunfan asked, Phyllis felt a wave of hunger. Although she had eaten fried rice last night, she hadn't eaten anything for many days, so the fried rice wasn't enough.
Then, Phyllis's stomach let out a cute sound, "Gurgle," and her face turned red as she lowered her head.
Mu Yunfan chuckled, "I'll go make breakfast, and you can come out to eat in twenty minutes."
Phyllis shyly nodded, "Alright."
Mu Yunfan got up, washed up, and went to make breakfast. He quickly prepared two bowls of noodles and brought them upstairs.
Arriving on the second floor, he saw Phyllis already sitting at the dining table, waiting. Mu Yunfan placed the noodles on the table, and Phyllis said, "Thank you." They both started eating breakfast.
Mu Yunfan had forgotten to eat dinner last night due to the series of events, so he was starving. He prepared himself a large portion of noodles and ate quickly.
Phyllis seemed to have a good appetite, but compared to Mu Yunfan's loud and rough way of eating, she ate quietly and delicately, without making any sound. She looked like a dignified young lady.
After they finished eating, Phyllis expressed her gratitude once again.
Mu Yunfan asked, "Phyllis, what are your plans for the next step?"
Phyllis appeared at a loss.Mu Yunfan quickly said, "If you haven't decided what to do next, how about staying with me for a while? I live alone here and happen to have a spare room."
Mu Yunfan felt his ears turn hot as he invited the beautiful girl to stay at his house. For an eighteen-year-old boy in adolescence, he was extremely looking forward to it.
Mu Yunfan nervously looked at Phyllis and saw her hesitate for a moment before smiling and nodding. "Alright, thank you."
Suppressing his excitement, Mu Yunfan pretended to be calm and said, "Well, I'm going downstairs to open the shop. If you're not rested enough, feel free to continue resting."
Mu Yunfan noticed the fatigue on Phyllis' face and the fact that they slept late last night, so he said that.
Phyllis was taken aback. "Open a shop?"
"Yes, didn't I mention it before? I have a fast food restaurant downstairs."
"I see."
Mu Yunfan saw the increasing tiredness on Phyllis' face and said, "Go rest."
Mu Yunfan picked up his bowl and stood up.
Phyllis nodded. "Okay, I'll sleep a little longer then."
After saying that, Phyllis groggily got up and walked towards the room.
Mu Yunfan watched the direction Phyllis was heading and couldn't help but open his mouth wide. Did she go into the wrong room?
The room Phyllis walked into was his bedroom! She completely didn't realize that she went into Mu Yunfan's bedroom, as if it was natural for her to enter Mu Yunfan's bedroom and closed the door.
Mu Yunfan was dumbfounded... For some reason, he felt a little excited.
Well, I'm a considerate man when it comes to girls. My bed is more comfortable, and she's injured, so I reluctantly let her sleep in my bed!
Mu Yunfan gave himself a reason and happily went downstairs to open the shop.
In the room, Phyllis lay down on the bed. Just as she finished pulling up the covers, she suddenly remembered that this was Mu Yunfan's room. She had sleepily entered the wrong room! She should have gone to the guest room that Mu Yunfan prepared for her!
How could she sleep in someone else's bed, especially a male's bed, without permission?
She was being so rude!
Phyllis blushed instantly and wanted to get up immediately, but her body seemed completely paralyzed and didn't move at all.
Although Mu Yunfan was no longer on this bed, it always felt warmer than her own bed. Phyllis was extremely captivated by this warmth and didn't want to leave.
With a flushed face, Phyllis pulled the covers over half of her face and stayed shyly like that for a while before sleepiness overwhelmed her and she fell into a deep sleep.
