Gu Xiao lay askew on the couch, sipping coffee and browsing through a magazine, the quietude of the room punctuated only by the sound of pages turning.
The clock hand had already pointed to eleven, yet he hadn't the slightest intention to sleep, but Qin Youbei was beyond tired.
She transitioned from standing upright to leaning askew and finally to slumping against the wall.
Putting away her phone, she glanced at Gu Xiao with caution, as if still wanting to watch, showing no signs of sleepiness, yet it was getting very late, and she had classes in the morning. Couldn't they go to bed earlier?
If he didn't sleep, she wouldn't dare to either.
Qin Youbei was growing impatient.
"Get lost and sleep," Gu Xiao said without even lifting his head, leisurely flipping through his magazine.
"Aren't you sleeping?" Qin Youbei tentatively inquired, as she had planned to wait for him to sleep first, feeling it would be safer that way.
