In a daze, Xia Lu heard the ringtone of her phone cutting through the silence. Squinting through bleary eyes, she groped around the pillow for a while but still couldn't find it.
Late at night, the sound kept ringing incessantly, irritating her to no end. Suddenly, she remembered that Zhou Mingchen was just in the room next door—if the ringing annoyed him... With that thought, she sat up abruptly, turned on the bedside lamp, and saw it was Jin Meng calling.
"Hello...what's going on..." she whispered as quietly as she could.
"Lulu, come to the bathroom in my room right away, it's an emergency."
After hanging up, Xia Lu glanced at the time; it was already almost one in the morning. What on earth was this woman up to, having an emergency in the middle of the night? Was there a fire or something?... And despite both their bedrooms being on the second floor, she had to call.
Reluctantly, she got up, threw on a bathrobe, and carefully pulled open the door of her bedroom.
