"You should rest early." Fourth Master Xiao laid Xiqiu down on the bed and tucked in the covers, gently saying, "I still have some things to do. You go to sleep, don't wait for me!"
Although Xiqiu felt sleepy, she couldn't fall asleep with so much on her mind, but she nodded and said, "Fourth Master, you should go."
Fourth Master Xiao turned and left the room. Xiqiu tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and then sat up to read a book until she was exhausted enough to fall asleep. It wasn't until the latter half of the night, when Fourth Master Xiao returned, that she finally closed her eyes. Bihuai called from outside: "Fourth Master, Madam, it's a quarter past the Hour of the Ox."
Xiqiu wanted to get up to see Fourth Master Xiao off, but he said, "Go back to sleep!" For some reason, she fell asleep again, and by the time she woke up in her groggy state, it was already daylight.
She sat up and called out, "Chunliu!"
