However, what Xiao Qiang never expected was that the moment he entered the room, Zhang Xiao'ou took the initiative to speak. She looked at Xiao Qiang, her voice calm, as she said, "Could you accompany me to meet two friends? After we go, I won't bother you anymore."
Xiao Qiang was taken aback- originally, he had intended to refuse her, but seeing Zhang Xiao'ou's expression, he didn't know what to say. Perhaps, he simply couldn't speak.
"You haven't slept yet, have you?"
Zhang Xiao'ou suddenly asked.
It was already very late, she should be resting, yet Zhang Xiao'ou wasn't asleep.
Xiao Qiang slowly opened his eyes, his breath retreating back into his body, and said in a faint voice, "Something's up."
They were at least twenty meters apart, yet they could each easily hear the other's words. One was calm, the other was crying.
Zhang Xiao'ou paused, then said, "I want to know if you can stay, or rather, can you stay for me?"
