Gu Lanshan suddenly didn't know how to reply, and just let out an "Oh," remaining silent for a long time. After a while, she wanted to ask Sheng Shi if her not letting him answer the phone that morning had ruined some big deal at work, but ultimately, she swallowed the words and just murmured, "Well... goodnight."
In her tone, there was a touch of reluctance that she herself hadn't noticed.
Sheng Shi, however, felt that her tone was especially lingering and moving; his heart softened in an instant. He opened his eyes and gazed at the somewhat blurry ceiling, his eyes growing tender. After a while, he responded with a light smile, "Mhm, goodnight."
That's it... Gu Lanshan frowned, pouted, feeling a small sense of loss.
After about two minutes of silence, Sheng Shi's voice came again, "Chu Chu."
"Hmm?" Gu Lanshan echoed his tone from earlier.
"Sweet dreams."
"Oh."
Sheng Shi chuckled softly, then closed his eyes.
