Those clear, cold eyes instantly turned sharp.

"Xu Ze".

Her voice was calm, so calm it sent chills down your spine.

"Can you explain what's going on?"

Xu Ze opened his mouth, about to speak.

"Hmm? Master..."

On the other side, Bai Yuxi also woke up.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and lifted her head from Xu Ze's embrace.

Then, she saw the same thing.

Those sleepy eyes widened instantly.

"Owner!!"

Bai Yuxi's scream echoed throughout the bedroom.

"Who is she?! Why is she in your arms?!"

She pointed at Xi Rou, her fingers trembling.

"And her!" she exclaimed, pointing at Xi Yue. "Why is she here too?!"

Ding Wan didn't speak, she just clenched her fists.

An atmosphere known as a 'battleground' has begun to permeate the bedroom.

Xu Ze felt utterly overwhelmed.

"Calm down, calm down..."

He tried to explain.

Ke Xirou stirred at that very moment, muttering to herself:

"Mmm...so comfortable~I want to be hugged again..."

Then, the lovely girl snuggled closer to Xu Ze.

Bai Yuxi's eyes widened even more.

"Owner!!"

Ding Wan's gaze sharpened, and the temperature in the room seemed to rise.

Xi Yue stood to the side, her blush spreading all the way to her ears.

She wanted to explain, to say that she was only there to take care of her younger sister.

But those words, though on the tip of my tongue, just wouldn't come out.

That scene was indeed too easy for people to misunderstand.

A young girl, slightly drunk, leaned against a man's chest, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck, fast asleep.

Another girl stood to the side, her face flushed suspiciously.

It looks so much like it...

"I...I really just came to take care of my sister!" Xi Yue finally spoke, her voice trembling.

Ding Wan looked at her coldly and smiled disdainfully:

"Does taking care of your sister require taking care of her in bed?"

Xi Yue was speechless: "No! She came here drunk!"

"Then what are you doing here? And why are you blushing like a teapot?!"

"me……"

Xi Yue was speechless.

She couldn't very well say that she blushed because she shared Xu Ze's feelings, could she?

That's even harder to explain!

Xu Ze took a deep breath and decided to go all out.

"Alright, stop arguing."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an inexplicable air of authority.

"This is what happened..."

He could only begin to explain, starting from the red thread binding, then to Xi Rou running in drunk, and then to Xi Yue taking care of her younger sister...

She recounted everything that had just happened in one breath.

After listening, Ding Wan remained silent for a moment.

Then, he turned his head away again.

"I'll believe you for now."

Bai Yuxi gradually calmed down, but her gaze towards Xi Rou still held a hint of wariness.

When will she wake up?

Xu Ze looked at Xi Rou, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and shook his head.

"do not know."

"What if she wakes up...?"

"Bai Yuxi".

Xu Ze suddenly spoke, interrupting her.

Bai Yuxi was taken aback.

Xu Ze looked at her, his eyes filled with a hint of helplessness and a hint of doting.

“You are all my family, why would I lie to you?”

Bai Yuxi's face flushed red.

She lowered her head, twisting the hem of her clothes with both hands, and muttered softly:

"I...I didn't say anything..."

Ding Wan's lips curled up slightly.

The curve was very faint, so faint that it was almost invisible.

But Xu Ze saw it.

The sky outside the window gradually brightened.

Sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, dispelling the last traces of night.

……

Shortly after dawn.

Xu Ze's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID.

It was none other than Su Yunshang, the president of Yuntian Group.

"Hello?" Xu Ze answered the phone.

"Xu Ze, come back to the company right away." Su Yunshang's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of urgency, "...Something happened to one of your roommates."

Xu Ze frowned, wanting to ask for more details.

"It's hard to explain over the phone; you'll understand when you get here."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ze stood up.

"I need to go out for a bit," he said to the group. "You guys..."

“I’ll go with you,” Ding Wan said immediately.

“I’m going too!” Bai Yuxi stood up as well.

Xu Ze shook his head and said:

"No need, you all stay here and take care of them."

He glanced at Xi Rou, who was still fast asleep on the bed, and Xi Yue, who was sitting beside her with a flushed face.

Ding Wan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Yuntian Group, Game Department.

Xu Ze strode into the office area and immediately spotted a group of people gathered together.

Cheng Hao and Jin Yu were standing in front of a computer, their expressions serious.

Behind them, a person was slumped in a chair.

Li Wenxiu.

His face was pale, his eyes were closed, and there was some white foam at the corner of his mouth.

He leaned limply against the back of the chair, motionless, with only his chest rising and falling slightly, proving that he was still alive.

"What happened?" Xu Ze walked over quickly.

"I don't know!" Cheng Hao was pacing anxiously. "We saw him like this as soon as we arrived this morning."

"I can't wake him up no matter how much I call or shake him. He's been asleep for hours!"

Jin Yu added, "We called the doctor to check on him. His breathing and heartbeat are normal, and there's nothing wrong with his body, but he just won't wake up!"

Xu Ze crouched down and carefully examined Li Wenxiu's condition.

Breathing is steady, heartbeat is strong, and pupils respond to light.

She was indeed just asleep.
