As time progresses, dawn is about to break, and Zhou Chengchen finally falls asleep.
When she opens her eyes again, the space beside her is empty, and Xi Siyan is nowhere to be found.
She steps out of the bedroom, goes downstairs, and sees breakfast prepared on the dining table, but there's no one in the house. By the entrance, Xi Siyan's slippers are quietly placed.
Zhou Chengchen ruffles her hair, heads back upstairs to wash up, and while she still has a toothbrush in her mouth, her phone rings. She picks it up to see it's Xiao Rou.
Having just learned yesterday that her brother actually likes Xiao Rou, seeing Xiao Rou's name now, Zhou Chengchen can't help feeling a bit dazed, but she quickly answers: "Xiao..."
Speaking with the toothbrush in her mouth, her words are a bit mumbled, but before she can finish, Xiao Rou's sobbing voice comes through.
"Cheng Chen..."
Zhou Chengchen is taken aback, quickly rinses her mouth, and her voice clears: "Little Rou'er? What's wrong?"
