After sending the text message, Shi Aoju didn't reply at all. Thinking he might have fallen asleep, she decided not to disturb him further. She placed her phone on the bedside table, lay back down, and turned off the light.
Just as she closed her eyes, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by Su Manning's voice, "Sister, are you asleep?"
Her voice was very soft, as if afraid of being noticed.
In the past, whenever Su Jiuyi was home, Su Manning rarely came to her unless there was something important. Normally, Su Manning would wait until the next day to speak with her.
Su Jiuyi turned over and got out of bed without turning on the light, feeling her way forward to open the door.
"Sister, let's go inside to talk."
Su Manning looked anxious and entered the room directly before Su Jiuyi agreed, then promptly locked the door as she came in.
"What's wrong?" Su Jiuyi asked her.
