Qin Ye had no intention of sleeping either. Seeing that his father-in-law wasn't going to bed, Qin Yu decided to stay up as well... He just left them to it.
"I'm going to add some fire."
The underfloor heating in this room wasn't on, and the heat from the brazier hardly made it any warmer. Moreover, Tie Zhu must be feeling cold over there, right?
So, he went outside.
Tie Niu had good eyesight and quickly followed him to help.
Earlier, he was so worried about Qin Ye and the others that he had no mind to tend to the underfloor heating. Now... it did indeed feel quite cold.
After entering the kitchen, he took over the task of lighting the fire.
Once it was lit, he turned to Qin Ye, "Brother Qin, you must be hungry, right? Do you want me to make something for you?"
And true enough, Qin Ye felt hungry after being reminded. He hadn't had time to eat dinner and had been scouring the mountains searching for people, surviving purely on adrenaline.
