"Sister Liu, Sister Liu..." I tentatively called out twice, even gently shaking her body, but I received no response.
Yet, for some reason, I had a feeling that she was awake.
Just as I was hesitating whether to approach her further, I saw her secretly open her eyes.
The look in her eyes was full of shyness and... longing.
In that moment, I knew that she was awake when I was fooling around with her earlier, she was just pretending to be asleep.
But little did she know, my eyes could see, and I could tell what she was thinking with crystal clarity.
Perhaps, in her heart, she couldn't accept that she had suddenly become so close to me.
However, I didn't care, for in my eyes, she was always just a passerby, never someone who could have a substantive relationship with me.
So both of us holding our own thoughts, we seemed to have reached a silent understanding.
Knowing she was awake, I tactfully didn't continue to tease her.
