The night had deepened, and Qin Wan, still chattering away with Jiang Chengde about trivial matters, finally lay down to sleep. Jiang Chengde turned off the light, and the room returned to its former darkness.
When the eyes can't see, other senses become unusually sharp. Jiang Feng could hear steady breathing sounds—it must have been Qin Wan. Pregnant women are prone to sleepiness, and despite the late hour, Qin Wan had fallen asleep almost the moment her head touched the pillow. Jiang Chengde lay beside Qin Wan, surprisingly making no sound at all, not even his breathing was audible.
Jiang Feng's intuition told him that at this moment, Jiang Chengde must be lying with his eyes open, staring into the darkness.
Jiang Feng silently moved through the wall to sit outside. It was a bit brighter there with the moonlight, as he always felt uncomfortable staying in the pitch-dark room.
