Midnight.
Gu Ning finished editing her video, uploaded it to the backend, and collapsed into bed, exhausted.
Before dawn, she was woken by a full bladder and groggily climbed out of bed to use the bathroom.
Before leaving her bedroom, Gu Ning didn't forget to put on her robber's gear.
The moment she opened the door, she saw Cook sleeping on the floor right outside.
He was lying on the cold floor without even a mat beneath him or a blanket to cover him.
Hearing the door open, Cook sat bolt upright, looking at her with eyes still hazy with sleep.
"Cook, why are you sleeping out here?" Gu Ning asked softly, patting his head.
She glanced into the living room. Barto was asleep in its own little nest, and right next to it was the bed she had made for Cook.
Barto was tiny and liked to curl up when it slept, so it wasn't taking up any of Cook's space.
Cook didn't say anything, just nuzzled her with his head.
