"Alright, take care on your way out."
Qiao Xi took a bunch of ingredients out of the bag and sorted them into the refrigerator.

After storing everything away, Qiao Xi washed an apple before returning to her room.
It gets dark quickly in the winter.
By six o'clock, the sky had already darkened, turning a deep crow blue, and the lights on the villa's front lawn came on one at a time.
Shen Dang entered and took off his coat right away.
The spacious living room was empty.

The noise from the kitchen didn't travel upstairs, but Qiao Xi had known Shen Dang was back since he had driven home.
