At night, 10:30 PM.
Xue Yuantong finished her bath and ran to Jiang Ning's room to play video games.
She curled up on Jiang Ning's bed, eyes glued to her mobile screen, fingers tapping and poking, and the occasional crisp sound of her laughter filled the room.
The moonlight was feeble tonight, and only a few lonely stars adorned the cloudy night sky visible from the window.
Xue Yuantong found the game lacking as she played halfway through.
She smacked her lips, realizing something was missing—snacks.
Ever since her mom got a better job with a significantly increased salary, their living conditions improved correspondingly.
Xue Yuantong grew more spoiled, with plenty of snacks always stocked at home.
"Playing games without some snacks always feels a bit dull."
Xue Yuantong cocked her head and said to Jiang Ning, who was on the sofa:
"Are you playing games?"
