At this moment, the living room was utterly silent, and the sound of Ye Li's footsteps became particularly clear.
Chu Ge stuck to his old tactic and pretended to be asleep with his eyes closed.
Ye Li's footsteps approached the living room and stopped beside Chu Ge, with nothing else being heard for a long while.
It was unclear how much time had passed when Ye Li's hand gently touched Chu Ge's hand, but she still remained silent and made no other reaction, as if nothing had happened.
"Brother Chu."
After several minutes passed in silence, Ye Li finally spoke up, uttering a gentle call.
Chu Ge hesitated for a moment and then opened his eyes. In his line of sight, those eyes were as deep as the vast universe.
"Hmm, Ye Li, not asleep yet?"
Chu Ge let Ye Li hold his hand, looking at her clear eyes, and with a sheepish laugh, he knowingly asked.
"Brother Chu, I... can't sleep. I want to ask you a question."
"Sure, ask away."
