Only then did she lie down.
A few minutes later, the room fell completely silent, leaving only the sound of the rain and the rattling of the window. Their busy day was over, and they both savored this rare moment of peace. Occasionally, one would hear the other shift, after which their breathing would once again grow tranquil.
Chen Yuan slowly closed his eyes, trying to will himself to sleep.

"Are you asleep?"
"Not yet... What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Just wanted to call out to you. Wait for me to fall asleep before you do, otherwise I'll be scared."
"Okay. Don't be too scared. Remember that time we were on a voice call? It was raining that day, too, and you slowly drifted off to sleep."
"Oh, was that it... Heh heh."
Jiangg Yao gave a dry laugh. It didn't seem to stir any particularly warm memories for her.
'Obviously!'
During that thunderstorm, she'd been pulling an all-nighter playing games with a few friends, completely wired. The one who made that call was Jiangg Ning.
