Gu Ning put on her sanitary underwear in the bathroom. She hesitated behind the door for a moment before pulling it open and stepping out.
Aside from Cook, who was standing guard outside the bathroom door as usual, the other Beastmen were all standing silently around the living room.
Even Leo had his head buried in his terminal, brow furrowed in concentration as if he were poring over some complex document.
The moment she emerged, they all looked up at her, their expressions hesitant, as if they wanted to speak but didn't know how.
Gu Ning felt awkward as well. She wanted to retreat to her bedroom, but Vine stepped forward, took her by the wrist, and led her to the sofa.
Leo was sprawled on the sofa, but Vine unceremoniously shoved his legs aside and sat down next to Gu Ning.
"Hey, you wolf..." Leo started to curse, but now wasn't the time to pick a fight. He held his tongue for the moment and got up, intending to sit on Gu Ning's other side.
