"well."
Xiao Qingyin clapped her hands and went back to her room.
She felt a sharp pain in her lower back, wondering if it was from working all night to save people the day before.
After washing up, I wanted to lie down and rest.
My mind is wide awake, and I just can't fall asleep.

She was talking to herself.
Forcing herself to sleep wouldn't work, so she got up, found a storybook, and prepared to while away the long night.
