"Zhouzhou, are you asleep?" Ye Qiuqing gently knocked on the wall, their rooms as siblings were next to each other, they often played like this in their childhood.
"Not yet, is something the matter, Sister?"
"Come to Mom and Dad's room, I have something to tell you both."
"Oh." Hearing that Ye Qiu's tone was steady, Ye Zhou didn't know what was so important that it had to be discussed at night, but he always listened to his sister's words and got up to wait for Ye Qiu in the hallway.
"Dad, Mom, can you open the door?" It was now ten o'clock at night when couples usually prepare everything for the next day before going to bed. Ye Qiu obviously picked the timing right, catching them at the moment of their nightly routine.
"It's so late, why haven't you kids gone to sleep yet?" Madam Shen looked at her children with a mix of reprimand and heartache.
"Sister said she has something to talk to us about."
