"Su Xiaoge, are you muddled with sleep?"
The man was silent for a few seconds, then asked in a cold voice.
"No, I'm completely awake." Su Ge immediately sat up in bed, boldly facing the man.
The man's handsome face visibly darkened, a flicker passing through his phoenix eyes before settling back to calm.
"It's getting late, you should go to sleep."
"Mhm." Su Ge didn't say much more.
The night was as dark as ink, the sound of the night breeze across the window sill was especially clear.
There was a long silence in the video before the man spoke again, "Is it about to rain in Rong City? Close the window before you go to sleep."
"I know." She answered calmly.
The man looked deeply at her, "Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
After uttering her last goodnight, Su Ge turned off the video chat.
Alone, she clutched her phone sitting on her bed, feeling for the first time how long and desolate the night was.
The wind outside grew stronger, making the windows rattle loudly.
