Song Qingchun jumped from shock. Just as she was wondering whether she should answer Su Zhinian or not, he asked, "Are you asleep?"
She knew this was the man giving her a way out. If she still didn't have the courage to face him after the thing that had happened, she could just pretend to be asleep.
Song Qingchun thus decided to sit there in silence and not respond.
The man outside the door was quiet for about half a minute before he began again. "I know you're still awake."
As he said so, Song Qingchun heard the door click open. Su Zhinian then walked in with a calm and measured gait.
He was wearing a white, cotton t-shirt and pants. His face had returned to his usual frigid aloofness so quickly that Song Qingchun had to wonder if the incident earlier had just been a mirage in her mind.
