At this moment, Qiu Tu in the hotel room was like a tourist plunged into water, suddenly sitting upright, then gasping for breath with large, labored inhales and exhales!
A trace of fear and disorientation still lingered on his face.
The footsteps of Tan Huimin pacing outside clearly indicated she heard the unusual noises from Qiu Tu, but since they had agreed she must not enter the bedroom no matter what happened, she could only walk back and forth in the living room, worried.
Listening to the anxious footsteps outside, Qiu Tu slowly regained his composure.
He turned his head to glance at the four corners of the room. At some point, the four white candles had completely burned out, leaving nothing but wax on the floor.
And in the center of the room, the 12 sticks of incense had been reduced to nothing but ash.
Adding to the messy sheets on the bed, one could say the room was in complete disarray.
