  Jiao Chen looked up at her and smiled. “I just didn’t sleep well. Don’t think too much into it.”


  Su Yue still felt uneasy, but she didn’t know what was wrong, so she pressed her lips. “Oh.”


  “Sleep early then,” she said with a hint of concern in her voice.

  She walked out of the room and helped him close the door.

  After the door closed, he stopped drying his hair. He looked up and stared at the closed door.

  There was sorrow and longing in his eyes.

  “Jiaojiao.”


  Suddenly, the door opened again. Su Yue peered into the room.

  She looked at him with a cheeky smile on her face.

  Jiao Chen raised his eyebrow, confused.

  “Are you not going to give me a goodnight kiss?” Su Yue blinked cheekily at him. She had one hand on the doorframe and the other on the doorknob, her body tilted slightly forward.

  Waiting for his response.

  Jiao Chen hesitated before smiling and nodding. “Okay.”


  He placed his towel down and walked to the door. He slightly bent over and kissed her on the forehead.

  “Goodnight.”


  Su Yue pressed her lips and nodded gently. “Sleep early.”


  She closed the door again and turned around before taking a deep breath.

  She could obviously feel that Jiao Chen wanted to stay away. He was just giving in to her.

  Back in her room, Su Yue lay on her bed and hid under the covers. She turned off the lights.

  She flipped over and wrapped herself tightly with the covers.

  The weather was much warmer in May and everyone was wearing short-sleeves. But these few years, no matter what season it was, she always had to wrap herself with the blanket.

  It made her feel safe and at ease.

  Su Yue lay down and tried to clear her mind. Weariness soon engulfed her once again, and her eyelids started to droop.

  Just then, the doorbell rang again.

  She frowned and flipped over. “Who is it?”


  The doorbell was ringing incessantly again. Remembering that Jiao Chen didn’t sleep well over the past two days, Su Yue hurriedly got off the bed and ran towards the door.

  She opened the door.

  The door of the opposite room opened at the same time. Jiao Chen was still in his sleepwear, emerging from the room.

  Their eyes met and Jiao Chen froze.

  Su Yue frowned in annoyance. “The doorbell already rang just now, but nobody replied to me.”


  Then she waved at him. “Go to bed. I’ll get the door.”


  Su Yue yawned and turned on the lights before walking towards the main door.

  She leaned lazily against the wall and pressed the button again. “Who is it? If you got the wrong unit number, please redial it again. Don’t get it wrong next time. If it’s the correct unit number, speak.”


  She said her piece.

  But even so, there was no response. The surveillance was dark and she couldn’t see anyone.

  “Must be crazy, ruining my sleep in the middle of the night.” She angrily walked away and ended the call.

  She walked over to the room and faced Jiao Chen’s room. “Jiaojiao, if you hear the doorbell again, just ignore it.”


  It was in the middle of the night. It must’ve been a prank.

  They were probably not the only unit affected.

  Su Yue returned to her room, lying down on her bed.
