In the still of the night, Hong Sheng fetched some water and cleaned up Susu's body, who was half asleep. Then he turned over, giving her his back as he lay down to sleep. Susu was utterly exhausted; Hong Sheng, this "silly guy," had wanted her three times. It seemed like he had been holding back for a long time.
But even though she was so tired that she could fall asleep the moment her head hit the pillow, Susu still managed to keep herself awake. She was waiting for something—for Hong Sheng to ask her about those aroma pills. What were they for? What was their effect? Susu had rehearsed the explanation in her mind many times. She couldn't not tell Hong Sheng about it.
Susu waited and waited until she was on the verge of falling asleep, but Hong Sheng still hadn't said anything. Was he waiting for her to confess?
