"Why are you up so early...?"

Michael struggled to open his eyes...

"you forgot?"

Yuan Hua threw back the covers, got up, and turned on the light.

"Terra is delivering food today, so she got up early."

"That's fine, as long as we stay hidden in the room, he won't know..."

Michael rolled over, pouted, and looked dissatisfied.

"I'd like to sleep a little longer..."

"He'll definitely call you when he's done making breakfast. Are you going to call him or not?"

Yuan Hua patted Michael's (person).

"I've really seen it these past few days. This guy is so stubborn. He'll finish cooking in the middle of the day and then he'll have to wake you up to remind you to eat. You have to answer him. If you don't, he'll keep knocking on the door. It's so noisy!"

"Huh? You think it's noisy too?"

Michael sat up, casually scooped up some of the overflowing gift, and sucked on it...

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with my ears."

Yuan Hua casually tossed a piece of clothing over.

"Put it on, it's almost time to go back to the room. Judging by the time, it should be past five o'clock now."

"Hiss—it's so late?"

Michael jumped up and draped his coat over his body, covering his delicate frame.

"I'll leave now, we'll talk more when he leaves."

After saying that, Michael hurriedly returned to his room.

"Tsk... Damn it, I can't sleep either..."

Yuan Hua scratched his head and looked at the empty chair...

"..."

What I just casually handed to Michael seems to be his coat...

"Fine, let's leave it at that. I'm not afraid of the cold anyway."

Yuan Hua glanced back at the pearl thong that Michael had casually tossed on the bed, which was still covered in a sticky paste.

"That was so careless. What if we'd been found out?"

Yuan Hua bent down and pulled the trash can out from under the table, then threw the thing into the trash can and closed the lid.

……

"sleepy……"

Terra walked into the living room in a daze and saw Yuan Hua sitting on the sofa, bent over reading a book in the dim light of the alchemical lamp. She greeted him.

"Good morning, Yuan Hua, why are you up so early?"

"Once you wake up, you'll naturally get up."

Yuan Hua responded without turning his head.

"I really envy you, you have so much energy."

Terra has said the word "envy" countless times, and she doesn't want to say it again...

"If I were as diligent as you, I would probably have become a somewhat successful adventurer by now."

Terra sighed softly...

"I always thought I was diligent enough..."

"Yes, you've been very diligent."

Yuan Hua did not refute.

"Not everyone is like me."

"So you are stronger than your peers."

Terra was very generous with her praise.

"You flatter me. You should go and get back to what you're doing."

Yuan Hua didn't want to waste time arguing with him...

"Okay okay."

Terra reached for the switch, then suddenly stopped.

Can you turn on the light?

"open it."

"Ok."

……

"Well, I've already made breakfast. I have to head out now. I'll need to find a carpenter to make a trailer on my way back today, otherwise I can't carry that much cargo with just a carrying pole. Anyway, I might be a little late coming back, so I'll leave the house to you."

Terra said hello and left, forgetting to even knock on Michael's door.

"what time is it now?"

Yuan Hua casually waved his hand, and the panel unfolded, displaying the time as 6:00 AM.

"Does anyone actually eat sesame seed cakes at this hour?"

Yuan Hua frowned slightly...

"Leaving?"

Michael peeked out...

"gone."

Yuan Hua put down the book in his hand and immediately fell into deep thought...

……

"Guest! I've brought you the sesame seed cake."

Terra gently knocked on the door of her first customer.

"guest?"

"guest!"

"..."

There was still no response from inside. Terra had a feeling something was wrong, so she gently pushed the door. Sure enough, the door wasn't locked...

"Guest! I'm coming in! Guest? I've put the sesame seed cake on the table for you, haven't I?"

Terra cautiously entered the house, and suddenly felt something wet under her feet...

"what's the situation?"

Terra didn't think much of it and placed the flatbread on the table in the dark.

"That's strange, I clearly ordered sesame cakes, why isn't anyone here?"

Terra turned and left...

boom----

"Ok?"

Then, seeing the light outside, Terra looked closely and saw a human head?

"I was so scared! I thought I kicked something, but it's just a human head... Aa ...

"Help!!! Someone's dying!!!!"

"!!!!!!"

Lights came on in all the surrounding houses!

……

"Hmm... I'll stop playing for now and go check it out."

Yuan Hua gently pushed Michael aside, got up, and walked towards the door.

"what happened?"

Michael looked at Yuan Hua with a puzzled expression.

"Have you ever seen anyone get up at six in the morning to eat sesame seed cakes? It's winter now, at this time everyone should still be snuggled up in bed sleeping."

Yuan Hua stopped and stood still.

"Looks like I don't need to go anymore, I'm already back."

"what?"

Michael, feeling guilty, glanced down. Thankfully, Yuan Hua wanted to change things up today, so he had her change into normal clothes. Apart from the fact that there was nothing underneath, there was nothing unusual on the outside.

"problem occurs?"

Yuan Hua put his hands behind his back.

"Um……"

Terra nodded listlessly.

"Let's talk inside."

……

"So, you unintentionally stepped into a murder scene, and if it weren't for other customers testifying for you, you probably wouldn't have made it back, right?"

Yuan Hua suddenly remembered two words.
