"So, you were at home? I thought you ran off to catch ghosts. Why didn't you answer my call?"
Chu Yan lifted her quilt, finding the situation both amusing and exasperating.
Seeing him, Qin Zhao felt a stinging sensation in her eyes.
She couldn't help but stretch her arms out towards him, "I'm so tired, hold me up."
Chu Yan picked her up and placed her on his lap, only to discover her face bore a sleep-befuddled expression. She was dozy and kept nuzzling against him, giving off a clingy vibe, just like the little kitten he raised.
"Have you been playing the thief these past few days?"
"No."
"Then why didn't you answer my calls?"
"I didn't hear the ringtone, I'll answer from now on."
Chu Yan was struck by how well-behaved she was today. In the end, he figured it must be because she was not fully awake that she was so compliant.
"How long have you slept?"
"One day? Feels like two days, I don't know."
