Ye Anxin's heart suddenly tightened, her breath caught as she held the staircase handrail and stepped down the last few steps, slowly walking to Mu Beiting's side.
Ye Anxin couldn't deliberately lighten her footsteps, so in this quiet night, they were particularly audible!
Hearing someone approaching, Mu Beiting looked up. Seeing it was Ye Anxin, he quickly stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and waved away the smoke surrounding him!
Ye Anxin's throat choked slightly, and she asked uncomfortably, "Uncle, did you smoke?"
Mu Beiting didn't answer her but instead grabbed her wrist and let her sit beside him. From not speaking for a long time, his voice was somewhat hoarse as he gently asked, "Why are you still awake so late?"
Ye Anxin retorted, "Aren't you also still awake, Uncle?"
Mu Beiting paused, his eyes flickering, "I...! I can't sleep and didn't want to disturb you, so I just sat here alone for a bit!"
