Xiao Yansheng's art studio held classes from eight in the morning until ten at night. Meng Xiao was a student, and her dormitory had a curfew, so she was not allowed to attend the evening classes from six-thirty to ten. She was off duty at six.
She changed her summer clothes daily due to her propensity to sweat excessively. Having only two changes of clothes in the dormitory, she decided to call Yang Yi to retrieve the clothes from the rented old house.
The call went unanswered, the prompt stating that the phone had been switched off.
She took a bus to the old house. Upon opening the door, a rush of musty smell assaulted her, but Meng Xiao merely walked straight into the bedroom to gather her clothes without flinching.
She seldom stayed overnight here, so there weren't many clothes and belongings - a medium-sized plastic supermarket bag was sufficient to carry them all.
Having packed, Meng Xiao was ready to leave.
