Chapter 48 chapter Ten

Maybe it was because of shopping all day, Gray and Dilly felt very tired after dinner.They finished washing before eleven o'clock and were ready to go to bed. "Good night, Gray," said Dilly. "Good night, honey." Gray kissed Dilly on the cheek.turn off the lights. Lying on the bed, Di Li couldn't fall asleep. She tossed and turned and thought about one thing--will Kaz bark again tonight? When eating dinner, Katz squatted at their feet, gnawing meaty bones with relish; while watching TV, it lazily dozed off beside the sofa in the living room—no matter how you looked at it, Katz looked like A very ordinary dog—but why does it bark abnormally in the middle of the night?

Thinking about it, Di Li unconsciously fell asleep. After an unknown amount of time, Di Li felt the bed shaking a bit. She opened her eyes in a daze, and found that Gray sat up from the bed.He put on his slippers, went to the door, and opened the door. Dilly looked at the clock on the wall, it was twenty past two.She remembered that Gray drank two extra bottles of sparkling wine after dinner this evening—maybe it was time to go to the bathroom. Gray had already walked out of the room at this time. In order not to wake Dilly up, he deliberately turned off the light and walked out gropingly.

Dilly rolled over, ready to go back to sleep. Suddenly, she opened her eyes again—she heard Gray coming down the stairs on the second floor. Dilly sat up from the bed vigilantly, she was incredulous—there was a large bathroom on the second floor, why did Gray go to the bathroom on the first floor?Didn't he go to the toilet? Thinking of this, Di Li felt a chill down her back, and she felt a sense of fear—what was Gray doing on the first floor in the middle of the night? Dilly got up softly from the bed and put on her slippers. Sure enough, Gray came out from the bathroom on the first floor. After turning off the lights, he walked up to the second floor by touching the railing of the stairs.

Gray went upstairs with his head down, and when he was about to reach the second floor, he looked up inadvertently, and there was a black figure standing in front of him. "Ah!" Gray yelled, and stepped back, almost falling down the stairs. "Grey, it's me!" In the darkness, Di Li hurried forward to support Gray. "Di Li? Are you crazy? Heigu stood there in the middle of winter, without saying a word—are you trying to scare me to death!" Gray said, clutching his heart, still in shock. "Grey, I... I just came out to see what you were doing downstairs." Di Li explained apologetically.

"What am I going downstairs for?" Gray said angrily, "To use the bathroom, of course." Di Li stared at the blurred shadow in front of her and said, "But, there is obviously a bathroom on the second floor, why do you want to go to the bathroom on the first floor?" Gray was silent for a few seconds: "Isn't Katz in the bathroom on the second floor?" "So what? Kaz is in his kennel, will it interfere with your toilet?" Dilly's question seemed to make Gray speechless, and he paused for a while without speaking. "Well...the toilet on the second floor is a toilet. I'm used to squatting toilets, so..."

"But, Gray. You couldn't use the bathroom on the second floor just now because Katz was in it." "Of course... that's also a reason, but the most important thing..." Gray hesitated and couldn't justify himself more and more. "Grey, are you making up a reason?" Dilly asked suspiciously, "Are you hiding something from me?" "I didn't..." After speaking halfway, Gray stopped, "Di Li, you are interrogating me again." "I just want you to tell me the truth!" "I was telling the truth!" Gray began to get impatient, "You didn't believe it yourself, well, I'm going to sleep, I don't want to dwell on these boring questions anymore!"

"Frivolous question?" Dilly asked in surprise. "Grey, do you think I'm being vexatious?" Gray didn't speak any more, he went straight to the bedroom. Seeing that Gray walked into the room alone, ignoring her, Di Li suddenly felt very cold in her heart. But she had no choice. After standing blankly at the stairs for more than ten seconds, Di Li had no choice but to return to the bedroom. Lying on the bed this time, Di Li couldn't close her eyes at all, and she couldn't sleep. Di Li's eyes were fixed on the big wall clock on the wall. She watched the time pass by every minute and every second, nervously waiting for that moment to come.

An hour at this hour seemed like a day to Dilly. At last—it was fifteen past three.
