Liora walked through the base's entrance, her boots scuffing lightly against the ground as she passed the usual security checkpoint.
The guards barely spared her a glance, recognizing her as one of the residents. She nodded at them and moved quickly, eager to get back to the apartment.
As she reached their building, she sighed, expecting to quietly slip inside and collapse onto her bed. But the moment she saw the light still coming from the apartment, she froze.
Frowning, she picked up her pace. The moment she stepped inside, three pairs of eyes snapped toward her. Chen Wei stood with his arms crossed, his brows furrowed in frustration. Liang Zihan was seated on the couch, running a hand through his hair, looking equal parts exhausted and annoyed.
And Zhou Yinuo, usually the calmest among them, had an unmistakable glint of disbelief and guilt in her eyes before she sighed for the umpteenth time.
Liora blinked in surprise. "You guys are still up?"
