In the past few days, Tian Sangsang and the others had stayed in the courtyard house without encountering anything troubling. Their three rooms were connected, so they could look out for each other in case of any emergency. On this particular night, though they had not completely let down their guard, the overwhelming drowsiness eventually got the better of them.
Meng Shuyan kept an early biological clock, usually sleeping early and rising early, unable to stay up late. By not even nine o'clock, he was already extremely drowsy. The moment he hit the bed, he fell asleep. Tian Sangsang followed suit, her body weary and drained.
In the middle of the night, an eerie silence encompassed everything.
Tian Sangsang felt someone gently nudging her, but she was so groggy that she had no desire to open her eyes. Suddenly, a faint and trembling "Mommy" reached her ears.
Mommy… Who would call me Mommy?
Especially in the dead of night.
Wait, that voice—it sounds like my son!
