Countdown 144:00:00.
Midnight, surrounded by darkness.
Seeing that the chat was about to end, Li Tongyun hurriedly snuck out of the bathroom and tiptoed towards the living room.
Now that her grandparents had come to visit, the small two-bedroom apartment had to accommodate them in XiaoTongyun's room, which meant she had to share a bedroom with her mother.
This was quite inconvenient.
So, when Qing Chen told her earlier that evening about starting a chat group, XiaoTongyun cleverly suggested that she sleep on the living room sofa.
Jiang Xue found the proposal odd when she heard it in the evening, as the young girl usually clung to her mother at night. Why the sudden change of heart?
Li Tongyun explained that she had heard her classmates already sleeping by themselves and she didn't want to be outdone by the other kids.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue felt a wave of relief. Her daughter had finally grown up.
