Gu Huanhuan looked around the room, feeling a bit bored. Sister Gao had come by earlier to check on her and mentioned that she had to handle some things and would come back later to pick her up.
Gu Huanhuan nodded. Given the state of her foot, she couldn't go hopping around anyway, so she decided it was better to stay put.
Feeling troubled, she thought about her recent string of bad luck. Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
When Wen Chi returned an hour later, he saw Gu Huanhuan asleep on the sofa.
Her small face was nestled against the sofa, looking very peaceful, quite different from her usual mischievous self.
Wen Chi was somewhat surprised; he had thought she would have left by now.
The sound of the door closing must have startled her, as Gu Huanhuan suddenly opened her sleepy eyes.
"You're back," she said in a slightly coquettish tone.
"Mm, why are you still here?" Wen Chi asked.
