After returning to the dormitory, Su Yuan took a good shower and then collapsed onto the bed, falling into a deep sleep almost immediately.
*This journey away from Great Flame had been a non-stop loop of traveling, fighting, and traveling again, leaving almost no time to rest.*
*Out in the world, he was constantly on edge, but within the academy, Su Yuan could relax completely.*
*So this time, he slept exceptionally soundly…*
By midday the next day.
In the darkness, Su Yuan felt something soft and squishy against his face, as if something was repeatedly nudging his cheek. A familiar little sound accompanied it.
Soon, Su Yuan opened his eyes and woke up.
The familiar dormitory bedroom came into view, filling him with a sense of calm and reassurance.
Beside him, Ruan Ruan was still energetically nudging his face.
"Squish, squishy squish! Squish, squishy squish!"
Su Yuan chuckled and gave Ruan Ruan a playful squeeze. "Alright, I'm awake now."
