He glanced over at Bai Long Qiang, but the man was already staring at the entrance like he could see through walls.
"Couldn't sleep?" he asked softly as the little girl, Wang Tian Mu, walked into the room and climbed into his lap. Getting comfortable, she laid her head on his shoulder.
"I slept long enough for the God of Sleep to roll the dice about what nightmare he wanted me to experience tonight," she said with a shrug like it was no big deal. She pointed to Bai Long Qiang's beer and made a grabbing motion.
"Nope, not happening," he said with a laugh as he moved her into a more comfortable position.
