What The Devil?

By the time Yu Lili reached home in the taxi, it was already past midnight. She took a shower. When she emerged from the bathroom, her phone notified her that it was the third day of the New Year.

It was the most important festival of the year. It revolved around reunions, and here she was, still alone.

Yu Lili lay sprawled across her bed on top of the covers. Fatigue overcame her. She felt the tiredness seep all the way into her bones. Even after closing her eyes for a long time, she was unable to fall asleep.

Her mind was too knotted up and preoccupied with too many things. It was in such a jumbled mess that Yu Lili didn't even know where to start untangling her thoughts.

Ding! Dong!

Her cell phone chimed. Yu Lili stayed motionless on the bed for quite some time before picking up the phone. It was a text message from Shen Zhilie.
