After learning that her parents weren't home today, the little girl in her new dress ran up to the second floor as soon as school ended.
"Brother?"
Song Zhijin pushed open Jiang Qingyan's door. There was no one inside.
She gently closed the door and searched through the rooms one by one.
The corridor was empty, and only her footsteps could be heard.
Song Zhijin walked quickly and stopped at the door of the study.
Usually, when her parents were at home, she and her brother were not allowed to enter the study.
Therefore, Song Zhijin opened the door carefully, occasionally looking back.
"Brother?" she shouted as soon as the door opened.
There was no response from the study.
However, Song Zhijin knew that his brother was very focused when he was reading. If he didn't call out a few times, he wouldn't have any reaction.
