Qin Yize placed the bowls and chopsticks in the sink. Noticing it was already midnight, he decided not to wash them. Afraid the noise would disturb others, he returned to his room.
After brushing his teeth, he came out to find the bedroom door closed.
Qin Yize looked at the sofa and was relieved to see that his luggage had been moved out.
He lay down but felt a bit too full, seemingly without any sleepiness despite the lateness of the hour. He wanted to talk to Gu Qiaoqiao.
Plus, he indeed had important matters to discuss with her.
Otherwise, he feared that in his absence the next day, the girl might take matters into her own hands.
Thus, he walked unhurriedly to the bedroom door, extended his hand, and knocked softly, asking, "Gu Qiaoqiao, are you asleep?"
The room was quiet, with no response.
"Are you planning to go to Yubao Square tomorrow?" he continued to ask.
After a moment, Gu Qiaoqiao's muffled voice surfaced, "Yes, I'll go tomorrow."
