Night fell like ink, casting a heavy shroud over the world.
Su Yaoyao drifted into a deep sleep, and in her dream, Noah's familiar figure appeared once more.
His eyes were red, tears welling as he stared straight at her, his expression a mixture of anger and hurt. His gaze felt like daggers in her back.
Su Yaoyao's heart clenched. The memory of the slap came rushing back, and a tidal wave of guilt crashed over her, drowning her completely.
She didn't know how much time had passed before she jolted awake from the dream, her forehead slick with cold sweat.
All was silent around her, save for the faint moonlight filtering through the window, casting mottled shadows across the room.
She slowly sat up. Beside her, the little fox, Lucia, was curled up, sleeping soundly.
Su Yaoyao raised her hand and activated her Light Computer, its faint blue light flickering in the darkness.
The communication log was empty. No calls from Noah.
'Is he still angry about that slap?'
