When Gerry returned, it was just after midnight.
He took a shower on the first floor, then sat on the sofa waiting for his hair to dry before going upstairs to sleep.
He didn't eat much during the day, only had a bowl of noodles at 2 PM, and skipped dinner tonight. After showering, he suddenly wanted to eat something.
So he got up and went to the kitchen to make noodles.
He accidentally dropped the spatula.
Bam—
The light sleeper, Gu Jiajia, was awakened by the sound.
Even though she was on the first floor, the night was so quiet that the sound of the spatula dropping was particularly startling.
Gu Jiajia was afraid that Gerry might sleepwalk into her room like last night, so she locked the door and slept with the light on.
Upon hearing the noise, she suddenly opened her eyes. Her first reaction was: Is Gerry sleepwalking?
The thought sent her heart racing.
She got out of bed and tiptoed her way out of the room.
