Li Xiu didn't enter his own room; instead, he walked to the adjacent room, grabbed the door handle, and tried to push it. The door didn't budge—it must have been locked.
Trying again would be useless, so Li Xiu returned to his room, closed the door, and lay down on the bed to rest.
The room's setup was very simple, with only a remarkably beautiful bed. Li Xiu recalled that he might have seen such a bed before; this item shouldn't count as a bed, as in ancient times it was called something else. He must have seen it on a computer before but hadn't paid attention to its name.
As he closed his eyes to rest, before he fell asleep, he suddenly heard a rhythmic knocking on the door—two knocks, followed by a pause, then another two knocks.
"Who?" Li Xiu recalled the chairman saying that while on this ship, no matter who knocks, one must never open the door.
"Knock knock..." There was no reply from outside, only the knocking sound persisted.
