Mu Qingli's consciousness stirred, and she immediately left Pearl House, heading to the bathroom for a shower.
It was already two in the morning. After her shower, Mu Qingli felt as light as if she were about to float away, as if she had unloaded a great burden, with a warm current coursing through her lower abdomen.
She wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but Mu Qingli always felt her skin was in a better condition after a shower than before, soft like a baby's, fair as snow, so delicate that a gentle squeeze would leave a red mark.
Having put on her pajamas, Mu Qingli felt a strong sense of hunger, so she went downstairs to find something to eat.
Downstairs was silent and deserted at two in the morning.
As soon as Mu Qingli turned on the light, she saw Fu Lanshen standing on the balcony smoking a cigarette.
Fu Lanshen snuffed out his cigarette, "Lili, why aren't you asleep yet?"
