He had no idea why he had walked into the room, but when he saw the empty bed and room, he was surprised.
Qiao Yiyi wasn't home?
Where could she be at this hour?
He frowned and walked further into the room. Suddenly, he heard a movement outside the window.
He turned around instantaneously. Without turning the lights on, he walked over to the window.
But in the process, he tripped over the leg of a chair in the middle of the room, making a dull thud.
The sound outside stopped at once.
In a flash of realization, he quickened his steps towards the window.
He discovered that the window was unlocked, making it easy for a thief to break in.
Frowning, he looked outside the window, but below was a patch of darkness. It was difficult to make out anything.
He exclaimed with an expression of intense focus on his face, "Who's there?"
Silence.
