Su Qing was having trouble falling asleep. She tossed and turned in her bed, hoping that her tiredness would kick in soon. Her twin brother, however, seemed to have no such problem - he was already asleep on the other single bed in the room.
Su Qing picked up her painting pallet, brushes, and colors. She stepped out of the room. She couldn't sleep, so she decided to draw something.
She was so focused on her painting that she didn't notice Su Anya's presence.
"Qing'er, why are you up till this late?" Su Anya spoke.
Su Qing was almost scared by her sister's sudden voice, and the brush in her hand slipped and fell onto the ground, leaving a black stain on the floor.
"I..." She started to feel anxious. "I am sorry. I will clean the floor." Su Qing pushed back the chair and got down from it. She was in a hurry to mop the floor.
Su Anya holds her and makes her sit back in the chair. "You haven't answered."
