Lying in bed early, Qiao Xiguan couldn't sleep at all but didn't dare to move a muscle. She was afraid of disturbing Gu Zichen.
"Can't sleep?" A low and slightly hoarse voice came from beside her.
Qiao Xiguan was startled and apologized, "Did I bother you?"
"No. I'm not asleep either."
"But don't we have a really important mission tomorrow? Shouldn't you rest properly?" Qiao Xiguan asked in surprise.
"I'm not a god. I get nervous too." Gu Zichen's tone was calm and unhurried.
Qiao Xiguan bit her lip. "I thought it was something you'd all be used to."
"No matter how used to it one is, the prospect of life or death will always stand out. Even the most indifferent person will have their nerves tested. I'm no exception."
"Oh," Qiao Xiguan nodded, half-understanding.
The two of them fell into silence again for a moment.
