Chu Ge looked at Qin Ruojing's somewhat bashful expression and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, "Didn't you open your eyes too? If you didn't look at me, how would you know I was looking at you?"
"I... I just wanted to see if you were still looking at me."
Chu Ge patted Qin Ruojing on the shoulder, "Alright, go to sleep. I'll look for just a little longer and then sleep."
Qin Ruojing closed her eyes and, after more than a minute, opened them again, only to meet Chu Ge's gaze once more.
The two of them held each other's gaze for a few seconds and then suddenly burst into laughter simultaneously.
"Are you... still thinking about that sort of thing?"
"No, I'm not."
"Really not?"
"Really not."
"Hmm... Well, that's good. Then let's sleep."
"Okay!"
The two were silent for a while. Naturally, Chu Ge had a bit of trouble sleeping, but since Qin Ruojing was tired, he didn't make a sound.
