Maybe it was because he recognized the bed, or maybe it was raining hard again, but Xiao Zi had trouble sleeping at night and kept waking up.

She didn't know what time it was, but it was probably two or three o'clock. Xiao Zi couldn't sleep at all, and she was afraid of waking Xiao Yu by tossing and turning, so she quietly got up and got out of bed.

She often came to Master's villa, and she knew that the balcony next to the restaurant was very spacious, suitable for someone to sit quietly. The lights there were on 24 hours a day, and the small world was like a small closed space.

Xiao Zi opened the balcony door and stepped on the soft gray carpet with very light steps.

A lamp was on quietly, and the light yellow brilliance shone on the wicker chair, the green plants, and the coffee table. The crystal-white teapot was slightly shiny. The rain outside the window beat on the thick glass window, drop by drop,

One by one, they converge into a stream.

The window was very blurry, and Xiao Zi's vision also became blurry. She looked at the outside world with blurred eyes. It was an unclear world, and even the light was blurry.

The patter of rain can be heard in my ears.

When it rains, my heart aches.

Xiao Zi sat on a chair, silently looking at the rain outside the window. Her long, slightly curly hair fell on her shoulders, and the light hit her fair face.

It seems like he is thinking about something, but also like he is not thinking about anything.

Looking at it, Xiao Zi closed her eyes, probably because she was sleepy.

Meng Chen didn't know when he came in. He covered her with a thick crocheted blanket and moved very gently.

Despite this, Xiao Zi, who had always been sleeping lightly, still woke up, her fingers trembled, and she raised her clear eyes, and Meng Chen's figure was imprinted in her pupils.

He was wearing a set of black striped pajamas, mature and steady, with a calm face.

He was looking at her too.

Xiao Zi didn't move, just kept staring at Meng Chen. As she watched, she felt as if she had never known this man before.

It seems... not that familiar either.

"Did I wake you up?" he asked softly, his voice as deep as the rain outside the window.

"What time is it?" she asked.

"It's about three or four o'clock."

"Oh, why did I fall asleep..." She lifted the blanket, "I should go back to sleep."

"Why did you come down alone?"

"I just can't sleep."

At this moment, the hazy lights and the patter of rain all create an unreal sense of trance, all of which is like a dream.

Xiao Zi didn't know whether she was dreaming or not.

Even if you can't tell the difference, there's no need to tell the difference.

Things change easily, so what if we can distinguish clearly or not...so what.

It's a dream, it's reality... So what, she just wants to grab everything she can and take care of the people she is willing to take care of.

"It rained heavily at night and the temperature turned cooler. Take care of yourself and don't catch a cold." Meng Chen didn't look away from her face.

"Yeah." Xiao Zi only responded lightly, "It's getting late, you should go back to sleep."

After saying that, she lowered her head and prepared to pass by him.

Meng Chen stopped her slightly: "Xiao Zi, let's..."

"Shh, you and I are not us."

She pushed him away and left.

Her frail and thin figure gradually disappeared under the light and disappeared at the end of the stairs until even the slightest footsteps could no longer be heard.

She is like a gust of wind or a gust of fog, coming for a moment and then leaving.

Or, she is just a dream.

At the corner of the stairs, Xiao Zi disappeared. She walked back to the room and returned to Xiao Yu.
