I don't talk about love with my Martial Sister

Chapter 25

Shang Can didn't sleep well.

The next morning, she was awakened by the bright daylight. After a groggy wash-up, she opened her door and found Yun Duan standing leisurely at the entrance.

"Didn't sleep well?" Yun Duan didn't explain why she was waiting at Shang Can's door, but upon seeing her face, she furrowed her brows slightly. "You don't look well."

"... Is that so? Yun Zhongjun is really concerned about me," Shang Can mumbled, stepping aside to let Yun Duan in while rubbing her sore eyes.

It wasn't so much that she didn't sleep well last night; rather, she hadn't had a decent sleep since meeting Yun Duan.

When they were at Tianwai Tian, she didn't know how to face the anxiety that Yun Duan brought. After learning about Yun Duan's sleepwalking relapse in Biluohuangquan, the paper crane Yun Duan gifted her the night before stirred up some past memories, making it hard for Shang Can to maintain her mental health.

She tossed and turned all night, worried that Yun Duan would sleepwalk again, keeping her ears perked for any movements from next door, more anxious than she ever was at Qingshu.

Although she had asked Wan Shao for medicine to treat sleepwalking, it seemed difficult to cure it completely with medication in this world. Wan Shao was already considered quite knowledgeable about medicines, but after pondering for a long while, he could only produce a bunch of bottles and jars, solemnly saying, "Take this before bed; it should help you sleep more soundly."

It was essentially a sleeping pill. Shang Can figured it was better not to let Yun Duan take it.

Thus, she finally managed to fall asleep when the sky brightened. After staying up all night, she really couldn't push herself any longer.

... Ah, they were supposed to handle serious business today. She should have knocked herself out last night to rest properly.

Although a bit regretful, Shang Can didn't show it. She perked herself up, poured two cups of tea, and cheerfully said to Yun Duan, "I couldn't help but think about you last night, and I almost wanted to make another night raid!"

Yun Duan accepted the tea cup she offered and glanced at her with light eyes. "Oh? What happened?"

"Nothing much."

Shang Can sipped the strong tea and shrugged.

"Didn't you lock the door?"

Indeed, she was not just talking nonsense; she actually hadn't let go of her worries and had wandered around Yun Duan's door last night, even mustering the courage to push it open.

Well done, Yun Duan finally knew to lock her door this time.

With that, she finally relaxed and happily returned to her room to sleep.

Yun Duan lowered her eyelids, her lips curving slightly. "No wonder I thought I heard some noise at the door."

"If I had known it was you, I would have gotten up to greet you."

Shang Can thought, Could it be that Yun Duan's hearing had become so keen? She heard Yun Duan add nonchalantly, "But I thought if it were you, you would have broken the door down, so I ignored it. Please forgive me, Shang Zhe."

What kind of image did she have in Yun Duan's mind?

"..." Shang Can fell silent for a moment before saying, "I don't have money to compensate the innkeeper."

In the early morning, they were joking around, and the atmosphere was both strange and harmonious.

Feeling almost awake, Shang Can lazily leaned on the table, absentmindedly tapping on the tea cup. She was the first to break the silence, "When are we leaving?"
