Gu Yusheng habitually took out a cigarette and lit it, then stood on the balcony, staring at the faint glow spreading out of the sun room and inhaling slowly.
After he finished the cigarette, there was no sign that the light in the sunroom would be turned off anytime soon. Gu Yusheng, with his hands on the railing, moved his gaze from the dusky night and went into the bedroom emotionlessly, then got in bed and turned the light off.
Day had already broken when Gu Yusheng woke up. He took the phone and half-squinted to see the time. It was half past seven in the morning.
He noticed that he was still alone in the bed as he removed the quilt and climbed out of bed.
Gu Yusheng didn't stay in bed any longer, instead frowning and walking directly into the bathroom.
After washing, Gu Yusheng picked a black suit and put it on, then put on a necktie while walking towards the bedroom door.
