Qiaoqiao was sleeping deeply, but there seemed to be a rustling noise by her ear. She frowned, unease growing as she muttered a few times in Qin Yize's arms. Even in his deep sleep, Qin Yize instinctively pulled her closer.
Yet the rustling noise continued near Qiaoqiao's ear, amplifying her inner unease, until finally, she began to wake up bit by bit.
In the darkness, the outlines of the room were barely visible – everything was normal inside, but outside, it was pouring rain, splattering against the windows, while water gushed down like small waterfalls from the eaves.
It seemed the Gu Family courtyard had transformed into a watery world.
But the sound persisted, and Qiaoqiao's drowsy gaze gradually cleared. She shifted in Qin Yize's embrace and listened attentively. No, this wasn't the sound of rain or wind; it seemed like a cat scratching at the door?
A cat paw?
