*Xin Lei*
Bai Li and I booked a room in a nearby small hotel to freshen up before we leave for Langfang.
I came out of the shower and found that Bai Li was lying on the bed, his eyes closed.
I slowly climbed on the bed, too, and lied beside him. But Bai Li didn't react at all.
I typed. "You remember that we have to talk, right?"
I noticed the slight change in his expression. The lines on his forehead creased for just a second, but I caught it.
I scooted a little closer to him. I typed. "Bai Li, I know that you are not the type of man to hide your emotions. You like things blunt and straightforward, just like me. So why are you doing this now?"
Bai Li let out a sigh. He turned on his side towards me. It suddenly felt so warm and comfortable.
I typed. "Just tell me whatever it is. I want to know everything how you feel."
Bai Li waited for a moment and then slowly said, "It struck me that I am useless."
