Mi Shen slept restlessly through the night; as soon as she closed her eyes, her mind was assaulted with bizarre images, as various demons and ghosts lunged at her.
When she awoke, the sky outside was still dark.
Sitting up, she turned on the bedside lamp, leaned against the headboard to catch her breath; her phone showed it was only three in the morning.
She had gone to sleep at one in the morning, which meant she had only slept for two hours. Yet, she felt as if she had slept for an excessively long time, almost not waking up at all.
Her head throbbed faintly, and her nose felt a bit stuffed. Holding her phone, she opened Li Fengchang's number, but only stared at it, lacking the courage to make the call or send a text, even though she longed to do so.
She sat like that until the sky began to brighten, her legs becoming numb, before she finally threw off the blanket, got up, finished washing, and changed into a set of casual clothes before heading out.
