During the few days of sick leave at home, Ji Zeqiu hadn't been resting well, tossing and turning every night, only to return to that dream where he curled up in a dark corner whenever he fell asleep.
He tossed and turned, waking up several times throughout each night.
"Can't you sleep?" a voice as small and subdued as that of a mosquito came from outside the door.
Since the housekeeper didn't stay overnight, the person speaking outside had to be Lin Xu.
Ji Zeqiu turned over and replied, "I was already asleep."
"Liar, how can you talk if you are asleep?" Lin Xu murmured.
Ji Zeqiu ignored her. After a moment of silence, there came a "thud thud" of knocking at the door.
The knocking had a rhythm that set one's heart on edge.
Ji Zeqiu's temples throbbed with impatience as he got up to open the door, his heart skipping a beat at the sight of Lin Xu's face hidden in the darkness.
This silhouette was so much like the person in his dreams...
It was almost as if it were...
