The night was deep, and it was long past the time to sleep...
Yet, perhaps because Lu Zhanbei wasn't by her side, Gu Qianqian found herself unable to fall asleep even late into the night.
She left the light on, waiting... and waiting...
She knew he wouldn't return so early, yet she seemed accustomed to waiting for him, as if she couldn't sleep unless he was back.
But waiting alone was boring, so after a slight hesitation, Gu Qianqian took out her cello.
Since it was so late, playing might disturb others, so Gu Qianqian deliberately chose a soothing piece, very soft and gentle, the kind that makes it easier for people to fall asleep.
It had been a while since she last 'worked,' so although her fingers weren't stiff, her playing wasn't as smooth as before, prompting her to play several times over...
On the last attempt, a light tapping sound suddenly came from the window beside her.
