"Knock knock."
Gu Xiaonuan knocked twice on the door, then sneakily pressed her ear against it to listen for any movement inside.
It was silent, as if no one was awake.
Si Yuchen couldn't have been so angry with her that he simply went straight to sleep, could he?
If that were really the case, Gu Xiaonuan would be a sinner.
"Si Yuchen, are you awake?"
She pressed her ear even closer and asked again.
"Si Yuchen, I have something to say to you. Could you open the door? I'm not a bad person..."
Gu Xiaonuan's voice got softer and softer, until the last few words were as quiet as a mosquito's buzz.
She wasn't a bad person; she was the sinner who forgot about the party at Si Yuchen's.
Si Yuchen had already given her a chance to remember, but Gu Xiaonuan hadn't thought of it at all.
"..."
Inside, it remained a portrait of silence. Gu Xiaonuan, feeling helpless, temporarily gave up on the opportunity to explain herself to Si Yuchen.
