"Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep..."
"Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep..."
"Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep..."
Early morning, soft dawn light, the time just after the rooster has called once.
Tian Xin was sleeping soundly, buried deep in slumber, when the phone on her bedside table suddenly started ringing like crazy.
"Who is it, in the middle of the night, won't let people sleep?"
Not wanting to move, still in a half-asleep state, she instinctively reached out from under the covers to find the phone and silence it, then turned over and continued sleeping deeply.
"Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep..."
"Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep..."
Within two minutes, the phone rang again.
This time, the ringing didn't stop.
She was probably too tired, just ignored it, let the phone continue its noisy rant by itself.
The person on the other end, seeing it wasn't being picked up, sent a text message.
This time, just a brief "beep," then nothing else.
