Lu Si had originally been sleeping outside, but later Abis carried him inside to sleep.
Upon entering, the smell of alcohol, the stench of farts, and that odor of unwashed bodies assaulted the senses...
Mai Xiaomai wrinkled her nose, feeling she really couldn't sleep with Lu Si in there, and walked back out to sit on a chair in the living room, lost in thought.
Abis came out of the room and, seeing her sitting like that, said, "Go sleep inside."
"You sleep."
"I can just sleep on a couch."
Abis looked at her and said, "I've always had this habit; I usually don't sleep on the bed."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Could it be you practice the 'Zen Secret Method' or something?"
Mai Xiaomai, thinking of the monks who rested in meditation, asked out of curiosity.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Well, how about this, we take turns sleeping on the bed."
Mai Xiaomai felt it wasn't right to always hog the bed as an outsider, as a guest.
"No need, sleep until you're awake."
