1147 What The Devil? (1/2)

By the time Yu Lili reached home in the taxi, it was already past midnight. She took a shower. When she emerged from the bathroom, her phone notified her that it was the third day of the New Year.

It was the most important festival of the year. It revolved around reunions, and here she was, still alone.

Yu Lili lay sprawled across her bed on top of the covers. Fatigue overcame her. She felt the tiredness seep all the way into her bones. Even after closing her eyes for a long time, she was unable to fall asleep.

Her mind was too knotted up and preoccupied with too many things. It was in such a jumbled mess that Yu Lili didn't even know where to start untangling her thoughts.

Ding! Dong!

Her cell phone chimed. Yu Lili stayed motionless on the bed for quite some time before picking up the phone. It was a text message from Shen Zhilie.

[Happy New Year. Are you asleep yet? If you're still awake, please call me. Grandma can't sleep from missing you.]

Yu Lili merely glanced at the message and ignored him. She switched off her phone and lay on the bed with her eyes closed.

Interestingly enough, after reading the text message, Yu Lili fell asleep like a baby.

In the middle of the night, around 3 or 4 a.m., the cold woke Yu Lili up. She threw the covers over herself and went back to sleep. When she awoke again, it was past noon.

Yu Lili washed up and changed her clothes. She applied a bit of light makeup to leave the house and was wearing her shoes when the doorbell rang.

She didn't rush. She made sure her shoes were on comfortably before answering the door. It was a surprise guest.
