Zhou Lin returned to Sparkling Sky City at ten o'clock at night, and Wang Mei had already gone home.
The house was quiet.
He went upstairs, opened the door to the master bedroom, and immediately saw Cheng Zhiwei nestled in the armchair by the window reading a book. A pale pink blanket draped over her made her look exceptionally delicate, and outside, the snow continued to fall lightly, the thick glass separating all the coldness.
Cheng Zhiwei hadn't worn her hearing aid, unaware of Zhou Lin's entrance until a shadow loomed over, startling her into looking up.
Zhou Lin lowered his head and found she was reading a book on sign language.
He reached out to touch her ear, and indeed, she wasn't wearing her hearing aid.
Zhou Lin smiled, took the sign language book from her, picked her up, placed her on the bed, and then made a sleeping gesture.
Cheng Zhiwei smiled and made several gestures in response.
