She fell asleep.
Bo Yanching put the phone on speaker and left it on his lap, thinking of lighting a cigarette, but realized it had already burnt out completely, not even a trace of tobacco left.
Bo Yanching didn't light another cigarette, for fear that the sound of the lighter would disturb her. Instead, he finished the remaining red wine in the glass, didn't turn off the light, and slipped into bed without making a sound.
The speaker was left on all night. In the middle of the night, Nan Jiaojiao seemed to wake up once. At the slightest movement, Bo Yanching woke up as well, hearing the sound of slippers scuffing, followed by the distant sound of flushing. He had just picked up the phone to say something when Nan Jiaojiao simply hung up the call.
Bo Yanching was dumbfounded yet amused, and didn't sleep well for the rest of the night.
The next day.
