A few minutes later, Quan Zehao entered the room carrying a cup of hot milk for Bai Xiaolian, saying, "Drink this."
"Thank you."
Bai Xiaolian takes the cup and drinks it all in one gulp, she then places the empty cup on the bedside table.
"I just had some sleep, I am not sleepy anymore."
Bai Xiaolian got out of bed, walked to the window, and looked up at the starry sky.
Her heart was uncomfortably heavy with an indistinct unease.
"What are you thinking?"
Quan Zehao came behind Bai Xiaolian, put his arm around her, and held her in his embrace.
"Nothing."
Bai Xiaolian sighed lightly, as if drained of all energy, she leaned against Quan Zehao's chest.
She didn't want to think about anything, however things develop is how it will be.
"If you can't sleep, let's play a game of checkers."
Quan Zehao, with Bai Xiaolian in his arms, sat on the couch and brought out a checkerboard.
