She couldn't sleep.

The woman tossed and turned in bed, as if she had something on her mind, unable to fall asleep.

"Christina."

The man on the other side of the bed could not help but call out her name in a low voice.

The woman at the side immediately stopped moving.

But within half a minute, she turned her body again.

"Patrick, are you still awake?" Her voice was not at all ambiguous, but she sounded very sober. It was obvious that she was not sleepy at all.

The faint light at the head of the bed was still shining, reflecting on her side face... She was really afraid of the dark.

"Patrick, can I ask you something?"

She seemed to be struggling in her heart. Then she leaned closer to him and asked again.

He did not say a word but stared at her with his eyes open, which made her hesitate.

"That year, in our high school graduation trip... You happened to be our teaching assistant, so you... Were you in that trip?"

She asked cautiously, as if she did not dare to mention something.

"No," he replied quickly.

But Christina's face suddenly darkened and she didn't understand. "How was that possible, Cory said..."

"What did he say?"

She looked at him with a complicated expression, as if she was confirming something. "It really wasn't you..." Her tone was skeptical.

The man beside her closed his eyes slightly and did not reply her.
