Bai Yuchuan didn't chat with Jian Si like just now.
He merely asked Jian Si to lie on the treatment chair and close her eyes.
He was busy here and there in the office, not knowing what he was working on, with the backdrop of the 'thump thump thump' sound from the Newton's Cradle and his rhythmic footsteps.
However, these two sounds mixed together seemed to particularly soothe one's mind.
Jian Si quietly listened.
She listened and listened, and actually fell asleep again.
It's unclear whether it was because of the incense or because the environment felt safe enough.
Jian Si slept exceptionally soundly this time.
Not long into her sleep, she found herself back in the long corridor of the study on the second floor of the East Building at Wolong Imperial Mansion.
The scene replayed.
She saw herself with a fruit knife, standing outside the study door knocking.
The study door opened.
She walked in holding the fruit knife.
Jian Si instinctively wanted to follow her in again.
