"Knock, knock, knock..." The sound of knocking continued, his persistence was something she knew well. She lay awake, eyes open, and had no intention of getting up to open the door, just letting the knocking echo on.
Half an hour passed, and the knocking persisted. Shen Yujie continued to ignore it.
Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up to see a message from Shen Bingqing.
"Jiejie, open the door! Long Lingli is about to break the door down. If this continues, no one in Mandara Manor will be able to sleep."
Shen Yujie threw down the phone and climbed out from the covers to get dressed. From start to finish, the knocking never stopped, constantly drumming in her ears.
Standing in front of the mirror, she saw a haggard and dejected version of herself, with dark circles under her eyes. Everything revealed her disappointed heart; even though she had so casually spoken of breaking up, her face betrayed her lie.
