Midnight at home, in the living room.
I didn't turn on the light since this dimness wouldn't affect my vision. The entire house was quiet, everyone seemed to be asleep: except for the ghost that might be wandering in the basement. But now wasn't Anwina's time to come up; she usually enters the living room after eleven, cleans for half an hour, and then starts singing the "Undead Overture" until midnight…
I glanced around the living room and then noticed a figure sleeping on the sofa.
To my surprise, the girl casually sleeping in the living room wasn't the Nine-tailed Fox, who had almost devolved into a pet dog, but Lin Xue. Miss Xue was covered with a thin blanket, curled up entirely in the large sofa, looking just like a little hamster trying to fend off the cold. Her head was buried in her own arm, with slight, almost inaudible breathing, clearly having been asleep for a while. I stood there dumbfounded for a moment, puzzled as to how this girl ended up sleeping here.
