Shi Nuan forgot when she fell asleep, but felt it must have been a long time, at least after eleven thirty.
In the latter half of the night, around four in the morning, she suddenly woke up, only then discovering that Song Yansheng was not there.
She was slightly surprised and instinctively got out of bed and walked out of the room.
At four in the morning, the entire Song Mansion was quiet, and the corridor night lights were dim.
Step by step, she walked to the bookroom door, her footsteps very light, and she stood still when she arrived.
Because no light came from the bookroom, Song Yansheng was not busy until late, or had he left Song Mansion?
She pursed her lips, thinking, perhaps he went out on business temporarily, maybe it was late, and she had already fallen asleep, so he didn't tell her.
She planned to return to the room but walked a few steps and, driven by a faint lingering thought, she turned sideways and reached out to twist open the bookroom door.
