Chapter 173: What are you doing in my room in the middle of the night?_1

"Alright."

Indeed, it was Gu Li's habit to drink a glass of milk before bed, hence she didn't decline.

Picking up the cup of milk, ready to sip, she noticed Yi Bing still standing. She offered her a warm smile, "It's late, you should go to bed. I'll be fine."

Yi Bing had intended to watch Gu Li consume the milk. However, since Gu Li suggested she leave, she was afraid lingering might arouse suspicion. So, she nodded, "Alright, goodnight."

She bowed to Gu Li before exiting the room.

Once the door closed, Gu Li lifted the milk cup and took a sip. The mild milky flavor quickly filled her taste buds. She licked her lips, tasted again, her twinkling eyes narrowed, swiftly catching a hint of strange aroma.

During the night, Yi Bing sneaked into Gu Li's room.

With the help of moonlight from outside the window, the sight of an empty milk cup on the table relieved her a bit.
