"Spicy, are you asleep?" Mingshen craned his neck to peek at Jia, who was sleeping with her back turned at him.
"I won't be able to if you keep asking that question now, will I?"
"I was just wondering why do you have to sleep so far away from me?"
"Do I have a particular reason to sleep close to you?"
Jia pressed her lips, hugging the blanket closer to her chest. The only reason she was maintaining distance a little more than necessary was so that Mingshen wouldn't realize her insomnia. She didn't want Mingshen to see her struggle getting sleep. That was the entire reason she wanted to sleep in the living room.
But unknown to her, Mingshen already held a faint realization of her problem. He slowly turned on his side facing her, staring at her back. He remembered how Jia had stepped out in the middle of the night the night she stayed over at the Yang mansion.
What is Spicy thinking about?
