After Shen Yue left, Gu Xi closed the dictionary in her hands, lay back on the recliner with her eyes closed, and listened to music for a while to clear her head before changing the channel.
The afternoon passed quickly.
By the time Wei Heng returned to make dinner, Gu Xi had already put the sweet potatoes on to steam.
Wei Heng took one look, then washed his hands and started stir-frying.
After dinner, she watched Qin Shi and several others, arranged by Shen Yue, drive away in a few large trucks. Then, Gu Xi lay in bed and browsed the forums for a while. She waited until 11 p.m., but Qi Xiang still hadn't returned.
After a moment of thought, she decided to go to sleep.
In the middle of the night, someone carefully pushed open her door.
Gu Xi lay in bed without moving.
Qi Xiang, however, was full of energy.
She came back in the middle of the night but didn't go to sleep. Instead, she flopped down by Gu Xi's bedside.
