Little Salted Fish

The moonlight spilled into the room like water.

Yimo and Bai sat on the edge of the bed, at ease and at peace.

Yimo had come mainly to test whether Bai was her younger sister.

But after they had looked at each other earlier, Yimo suddenly felt that the question no longer mattered much.

The thousand things she had wanted to say at first had all turned into silent companionship.

Just like that, time slipped by. Around one in the morning, Yimo felt it was getting late and decided to head back to her room to rest.

Yimo: "Um... it's getting late, and tomorrow is crucial. I won't keep you company any longer. I'll go get some sleep first."

"You should get some rest early, too!"

Yimo saw Bai nod, then stood up and headed out of the room.

But as soon as she started walking, something felt off!

The shadow moving on the floor wasn't just hers. There was another one moving along with her.

Yimo narrowed her eyes and turned to look.

Oh, Bai had stood up too and was following right behind her.

Not only that, but Bai was pinching a little of her sleeve.

The movement was so light that Yimo hadn't even noticed Bai holding on to her.

Yimo looked at Bai and thought for a moment. "Do you want to... come sleep in my room?"

With her mask on, Bai's expression was impossible to see. She nodded, giving Yimo her answer.

Emmmm.

Yimo thought for a moment, then said, "You'll sleep in my room, and I'll sleep in yours?"

Bai shook her head.

Then, in the blink of an eye, she let go of Yimo's clothes.

She took out a pen and paper and swiftly wrote three words in her little notebook.

"Sleep together."
