Perhaps it’s a wave of sadness, Song Yi quietly shifted her gaze away.
At this mont, Song Yi understood so things in her heart.
...
They ate barbecue, and after the late-night snack, they didn’t dwell on this matter for long.
That night, Mu Wanxue and Song Yi slept together.
But Song Yi almost didn’t sleep at all throughout the night.
Because she kept thinking about that figure in the study, the one that felt too real to be an illusion. Besides, she’s not used to sleeping with soone else.
So she couldn’t really fall asleep.
It’s deep into the night now, both the room and the house were quiet.
Outside the window, the sky was dark and oppressive, covered in thick clouds that blocked the moonlight.
"Boom——" Thunder rumbled with lightning, montarily lighting up the room.
It was at this mont that Song Yi felt the person next to her move slightly.
She closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
Once her eyes were closed, she couldn’t see anything, but she felt Mu Wanxue get up, get out of bed, and it seed like she took sothing after going out.
Then she heard the slow footsteps returning.
Song Yi’s hand under the covers gripped the sheets tightly, her own heartbeat pounding clearly in her ears.
As she heard the footsteps coming closer, Song Yi’s heart started to pound even harder, and she was about to turn over and pretend to be woken up by the thunder.
"Ring ring ring——" Song Yi’s phone suddenly rang urgently and jarringly in the pitch-black room.
Song Yi’s body quivered slightly with fright, and she clearly noticed Mu Wanxue’s steps pause.
She groggily reached for her phone and opened her eyes, seeing only a string of numbers on the caller ID.
It was an unknown number.
Song Yi propped herself up with her arms holding the phone, pulled on the bedside lamp, and its dim light filled the room.
"Boom——" More thunder and lightning.
It was at this exact mont Song Yi saw Mu Wanxue standing by the bed, when the lightning flashed, she saw that Mu Wanxue’s face looked slightly ghastly and eerie...
Song Yi was so startled she almost couldn’t hold onto her phone.
Her ntal strength was fairly good, she cald herself down: "Hmm? Xue Xue? Not sleeping yet?"
Mu Wanxue raised the water cup in her hand: "Woke up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty, went to get so water, didn’t turn on the light, afraid it would disturb you. After all, you’ve had a hard night."
She spoke calmly, and her expression was normal.
Song Yi nodded lightly, holding the phone that was still ringing in her hand: "I’ll take this call, wonder which jerk is calling in the middle of the night."
She was actually quite grateful to that jerk, because in that scene just now, she felt particularly shaky inside.
Song Yi was born without a sense of security. In the depths of her heart, she trusts no one, not even her close friends.
Even her own father and mother, she wouldn’t truly trust deeply.
In the past, she was betrayed too harshly.
Song Yi got up and walked out of the bedroom: "Hello?"
"Song Yi." From the other end of the phone ca a man’s steady voice, extraordinarily calm and clear in the rainy night.
Song Yi paused lightly: "Captain Tang?"
"Mm, I’m across from you." His explanation was simple and straightforward, as if he didn’t want to say any unnecessary words.
Song Yi was stunned for a second, and the next second she seed to carry a glimr of hope as she looked up, the space before her empty: "..."
She ruffled her hair irritably: "Are you ssing with for fun?"
"Slippers, pajamas, living room, ssy hair, agitated look. Like a little crazy person." From the other side, ca Tang Si’s cool and composed voice.
His voice was lazy in that way, calm. Extraordinarily refreshing, pure and pleasantly clear.
"You’re the crazy one——" Song Yi replied, looking up, suddenly stopping as she saw her own reflection in the living room glass, her voice rising: "Are you spying on ?"
"I’m saving you, otherwise by morning, you’d be completely exposed——"
Song Yi: "Can you stop being inappropriate?"
Right now, she’s scared to death.
