This feeling was really painful.
It was as if the truth was inches away, visible if only she could reach out and grab it, yet she was always that one or two centimeters short of grasping it!
Finally, she made up her mind, stood up quickly, dressed in a silk nightgown, and opened the door.
Auntie Li just happened to be carrying warm milk and was about to come in when she asked in surprise, "Jiayi, what's wrong? Where are you going in the middle of the night?"
Auntie Li saw the light still on in her bedroom and knew she couldn't sleep, so she specially warmed a cup of milk for her to drink.
Jiayi made an excuse, "It's nothing, I can't sleep. I'll take a walk in the garden downstairs. Auntie Li, just leave the milk in my room, I'll drink it when I come back."
Auntie Li nodded, entered to place the milk, and then left.
