The following day, as dawn broke and a pale light filled the sky, Jiang An woke up from her slumber to find the space beside her empty. Sleepily, the girl sat up in bed, staring blankly ahead as usual, a small tuft of her hair sticking up. It took her a while to come to her senses, and when Gao Chuan finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, he saw her sitting dazedly on the edge of the bed.
The man remembered how, after they ended their conversation yesterday, Jiang An had fallen into a carefree and deep sleep, while he, who always maintained a regular routine, suffered from insomnia, staying awake until two in the morning, watching the sleeping girl before finally losing consciousness.
