Into the night...
Although Lake Villa was quiet every day, today was New Year's Eve, and even in the stillness, one could hear the sound of fireworks bursting outside.
Su Xingyue was woken up by the noise and found herself unable to fall asleep again.
She propped herself up and sat on the bed, the quilt falling from her, revealing a stretch of skin...
The curtains were not drawn, allowing moonlight and the glow of fireworks to filter in; even without turning on the light, she could see her bedroom clearly.
She glanced at the man sleeping beside her then got out of bed, her bare feet touching the carpet.
Bending over, she picked up a long nightgown scattered on the floor and put it on before she walked out of the bedroom, hoping to get some fresh air.
...
She had barely stepped out of the bedroom when a fluffy little ball appeared at her feet.
Looking down, Su Xingyue saw it was indeed Doujiang.
