She was ready to sleep, so she shut her room door, changed into her pajamas, and lay down on the bed.
After midnight, the sounds from outside diminished and it became exceptionally quiet.
Through the door, Zhao Mengmeng could hear intermittent noises, neither loud nor soft.
She pricked up her ears, waiting to see if Kus would really leave as promptly as he had said.
Time passed, and Pei Chenyang finished eating the dumplings, washing his bowl and putting it away as he did.
The sound of his footsteps was almost inaudible, but Zhao Mengmeng's heart was beating a little uncontrollably.
He walked up to Zhao Mengmeng's room door and knocked lightly, "Mengmeng, are you asleep?"
She didn't respond, thinking to herself, what's he shouting about in the middle of the night?
He didn't know if Zhao Mengmeng was really asleep or just ignoring him, but Pei Chenyang didn't care.
"Then I'm going out now, be careful on your own," he said, and turned to leave.
