Knock, knock! There was a knock on the door, followed by Xiao Yan's worried voice. "Qian Qian, are you done showering?"
Shi Qian turned off the shower and replied, "It'll be ready soon."
Xiao Yan stayed at the door.
A few minutes later, Shi Qian showered and looked at herself in the mirror.
She felt so unfamiliar with herself.
She was beyond haggard.
If her mother saw her like this, her heart would definitely ache.
Shi Qian raised her hand to wipe the mist off the mirror.
In a daze, she thought she saw her mother in the mirror.
Her mother was wearing a light yellow cheongsam and a fringed shawl. Her hair was tied back and she was smiling at her.
That smile was so gentle it was like a bright light.
"Mom," Shi Qian cried out.
In the blink of an eye, the figure in the mirror was gone, but her mother's voice and smile were etched in her heart.
