Evening rolled around. Gu Qingjiu was about to sleep, but Qi Xiaoran still wasn't back.
She thought that Qi Xiaoran went somewhere else and wouldn't spend the night in their room.
But just when Gu Qingjiu was already sound asleep, she heard soft knocks on the door
'Thud, thud, thud.'
Perhaps because it was already late in the night and their door was made out of metal, the knocks were soft as if the one knocking was afraid to disturb others.
Upon hearing it, Gu Qingjiu groggily crawled out of her bed to open the door.
It was simply three knocks.
Gu Qingjiu switched on the lights. When she opened the door, all she saw was Qi Xiaoran's silhouette that was slowly moving away.
Probably realizing that the door was already open, Qi Xiaoran immediately turned and saw Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu's eyes were still blurry. She rubbed at her neck. "I thought you weren't coming back."
