Gu Yu stared at her for a while, and after a long silence, he finally reached out and touched Tang Yuran's head, saying, "Go to sleep early, tomorrow... we still have to see Grandma off on her journey."
"Okay..." Tang Yuran pouted, turned around, and obediently crawled into the blankets to lie down.
Seeing her settled, Gu Yu went to the door to turn off the light and then returned to the bed.
And so, the two of them lay there in the darkness. After a while, Tang Yuran suddenly spoke in a soft voice, "Gu Yu..."
"Hmm?" Gu Yu responded in a low voice.
"I can't sleep..." Tang Yuran turned her head to glance at the spot beside her.
The room was so dark she couldn't make out Gu Yu's expression at all.
Tang Yuran hesitated for a moment, then scooted closer toward Gu Yu, until she touched him, and then continued, "I'm really scared."
"Scared of what, ghosts?" Gu Yu turned his head toward her and asked softly.
