"Xiaowei, turn off the light,"
The bright light made Li Hongmei very uncomfortable.
Zhang Xiaowei knew she was just being shy.
He immediately followed her request and turned off the light.
As the light went out, they both fell silent.
After a few minutes of quiet, Zhang Xiaowei spoke again.
"Hongmei, you're not asleep, are you?"
Li Hongmei's soft reply came quickly through the darkness.
"Not yet."
Zhang Xiaowei hesitated and then asked awkwardly, "About what Grand Auntie mentioned, is it...?"
The task assigned by Grand Auntie was akin to a command.
Both of them were like soldiers who had received orders, hesitating whether to obey the command.
After a brief silence, Li Hongmei responded softly, "Well, let's not worry Grand Auntie about this any longer. It's bound to happen sooner or later, let's not delay it."
With Li Hongmei's reply, Zhang Xiaowei felt reassured.
Although the lights were out in the room, the darkness didn't affect Zhang Xiaowei too much.
