Su Shijie realized that asking her to stay with him was a mistake. He decided to sleep on the sofa instead.
His bath took even longer than Zhuo Junyi's did.
When he stepped out of the bathroom, he found Zhuo Junyi already lying on the bed.
Her long hair cascaded onto the bed like a waterfall. That sight, to him, was a challenge.
Su Shijie didn't have the courage to share a bed with her, afraid she might be scared at night. He left the door unlocked, and went straight to the small sofa outside.
In the middle of the night, Zhuo Junyi woke up in a daze. She reached out to the side and found no one there.
She didn't see Su Shijie on the bed when she opened her eyes.
The side next to her was flat; it was clear no one had slept there.
Zhuo Junyi got up and walked into the living room, only to discover Su Shijie curled up on the small sofa.
His taller stature looked uncomfortable on the sofa, which could only accommodate two people comfortably at a time.
