Zhi Wan finished her cup of cold tea, and her breathing steadied.
Something came to mind, and her expression flickered. She took a clean menstrual cloth from her trunk and went into the washroom.
After changing, she rinsed out the used cloth.
Once she was done, she lay back down on the bed.
'In my dream, I could smell the alcohol on him. If I hadn't woken up just now, would he have discovered I was on my period?'
The thought made her grateful she had woken up in time.
'That would have been so embarrassing.'
She yawned. Seeing it was still early, she closed her eyes, intending to sleep a little longer.
Meanwhile, in the neighboring courtyard, Lu Zhan was also awake.
His eyes were clouded with desire.
A moment later, he rose and went into the washroom to take a cold bath.
By the time he emerged, the clarity had returned to his eyes.
