When Lin Yi returned to Jingnan Hualu after turning in his mission,
it was already past ten o'clock at night.
With a soft DING, the elevator doors slowly slid open.
Lin Yi took out his key and opened the door to the apartment.
The lights were off inside.
Only a sliver of light shone in through the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows.
He could vaguely make out the shapes of things.
'Tang Qinru has probably gone to bed already, right?'
Afraid of waking her up, Lin Yi tried to be as quiet as possible.
He had just changed his shoes in the entryway and was about to head to his bedroom when a woman's cool, clear voice called out.
"What took you so long?"
"Huh?"
Lin Yi jumped, completely startled.
He quickly looked back toward the living room and faintly saw a figure sitting on the sofa.
"Sister Qingru? You're not asleep yet?"
CLICK...
As he spoke, the living room lights turned on.
Lin Yi quickly turned his head, and it took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the light.
