Shang Hexing hadn't returned yet, and Wen Zhi had no way to resolve her doubts except to wait and ask him about it when he did.
She turned on the lamp beside her bed and lifted the two strings of Buddha Beads towards the light to take a closer look.
Unfortunately, she still couldn't figure it out.
However, she was a patient person when it came to researching.
Looking more would surely reveal the differences.
Unconsciously, it was already midnight, her eyes red from strain, and that's when she noticed that the patterns on the two strings of beads were slightly different. Just as sleepiness overwhelmed her and her eyelids kept fighting, she couldn't hold on and had to sleep.
She fell asleep so quickly that she forgot to remove the two strings of Buddha Beads from her wrist, one arm still pressing on the edge of the peace and good fortune amulet.
The night was long.
Wen Zhi did not sleep deeply, drifting into a hazy dream.
