He raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Zixuan, are you up? It's me."
There was no answer, not even a sound...
Unsure if she was asleep.
Feng Chengjin didn't knock again, gently tried the door handle, found it indeed locked, and quietly stood at the door.
He stood like this for a full four hours.
During these four hours, he didn't knock on Gu Zixuan's bedroom door again, just waited there.
Midway, he heard the sound of the toilet flushing and footsteps inside Gu Zixuan's bedroom.
He knocked once more.
Soon, he noticed the footsteps inside the bedroom stopped, paused for a moment, and then the same silence prevailed, even quieter than before.
He then understood Gu Zixuan's mood at that moment.
He smiled self-deprecatingly and didn't continue to pressure her. Since Gu Zixuan didn't open the door, he simply said, "I'm outside, come out when you want."
Then he leaned against the wall, saying nothing more.
It was 12 o'clock.
Time to have lunch.
