Ye Xingbei returned to her room with Xiao Shumiao.
She took a bath, changed into pajamas, and lay down with Xiao Shumiao.
Xiao Shumiao nestled in her arms, hugging her with his little arms.
He wasn't actually tired; it had just been several days since he had last seen his mother, and he missed her terribly.
Ye Xingbei, having been tired for several days and having slept poorly at night, was especially restless the previous night as she was preoccupied with Yian Jingxue and today she felt extremely weary.
After kisses on Xiao Shumiao's chubby cheeks and encircling him with her arms, she fell fast asleep.
Xiao Shumiao, who initially wasn't sleepy, eventually dozed off as well, having lain there for a long time without anyone to play with.
The mother and son didn't wake up until noon.
After waking up, neither of them felt like getting out of bed, and they played around in bed for quite some time before they washed up, got ready, and went downstairs to find something to eat.
