Taking the Bait

Ji Beichen had been sleepless for two days and two nights. It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep, but rather that he couldn't. His gaze was sinister, and he had wanted to go out and see who was playing the Zither.

"Zheng zheng zheng..." But the melody was too captivating, as if it could soothe his restless and agitated emotions. Listening to this serene and flowing melody, he gradually relaxed, and his eyelids grew heavier unconsciously.

Gu Shiyan's face was icy. She knew Ji Beichen was inside the wooden house. Whenever he was in a bad mood, he would come here alone. This piece was specially learned by her for him. He was the most thoughtful person, prone to abnormality and insomnia, particularly when faced with setbacks. Only accompanied by her Zither playing, could he find sleep.
