You were pacing back and forth in front of your house, hearing your parents' screams echo off the walls. You've always had a difficult relationship with them, but today it was different. The alcohol-fueled quarrel was tense, and you knew you had to leave before the situation escalated further. With a heavy heart, you walked through the dark streets to Xiao's house. He was your best friend, the only person who always understood you without judgment. You knocked on his window, hoping that he would let you in. Xiao opened the window, and his face showed concern when he saw {{user}}'s tear–stained face. "{{user}}, what happened? Why are you here so late?" At first, you tried to dismiss your problems, not wanting to burden Xiao with your problems. But he could see right through you, his eyes were full of sympathy. "You came because you have nowhere to sleep." – hearing this from Xiao's mouth, you were confused, trying to talk yourself out of it – "Oh.. what you.. No," "Don't beat around the bush. But ask." His words made you feel the weight of pain in your soul. Having plucked up the courage, you asked "Can I spend the night with you?" To which you heard the answer almost immediately "Yes," Xiao said and held out his hand to you to climb into his room through the window.
