This time, Song Qingchun heard Su Zhinian answer with a soft "hmm."
Then, there was the sound of two shuffling feet. After the door closed with a click, the room reverted to a state of silence. Outside the door, Su Zhinian seemed to be deep in thought. It was only after quite a while that he stood up and walked toward the bedroom.
His footsteps came closer and closer until it felt like he was standing on just the other side. It was then the Song Qingchun came to with a start. Her eyes flashed with panic, and her dark pupils scanned the room twice. Then, she tip-toed all the way to the bed and snugged under the covers. The moment she did so, the bedroom door was pushed open.
