Chu You, dressed in a gray and white checkered pajama set, stood at the door, somewhat surprised to hear Nian Yuyu's voice.
He thought she had already fallen asleep.
"Yuyu?"
He walked over to the bed and, looking at the sleeping Nian Yuyu, swallowed back the words he was about to say.
After quietly watching her for two seconds, Chu You helplessly curled his lip.
The light went out, plunging the room into darkness.
Soft moonlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains and cast a hazy shadow on the marble floor.
Chu You pulled Nian Yuyu into his arms and kissed her forehead.
"Good night."
--
The night passed without dreams.
When Chu You woke her up, Nian Yuyu was still a bit groggy. She instinctively hugged the comforter, rolled around on the bed, and tried to struggle.
"Yuyu, it's time to get up," Chu You said very patiently, calling her again.
"Don't wanna," Nian Yuyu mumbled with her eyes still closed.
The next instant, she felt her whole body lifted into the air.
