At around two in the morning when silence had filled every corner of the streets, Jia's head was rolling head side to side as she lay seated at the same place in her room. She didn't know if it was sleep kicking in or the effects of Mingshen's medicines but her tired eyelids were drowsily blinking to sleep.
"And that's how…" Jia rubbed her eyes. "I helped Lihua complete her project back in fifth grade…"
"I was right in not holding much expectations from her," Mingshen said from the other side of the call.
The only thing he wanted ever since he left the award ceremony was for Jia to continue talking to him. It didn't matter about what or what time it was, he simply wanted to keep hearing her voice.
"Don't say like that…Lihua is a bright girl…"
Jia then heard the bedroom door creaking open and froze.
"Mingshen, s-somebody has broke into my room!" She whispered and attempted to get on her feet but felt too weak in her knees.
